To start at the very top, etiquette is a word used to refer to the rules guiding the behaviour of a group of people in a particular area. It helps to distinguish what is considered right from what is just plain unpleasant. Judging by how disorderly things tend to get every now and then, it is important to take a few lessons in basic etiquette. 

Unfortunately, the world we live in today is making it seem more and more like it's unnecessary to show common courtesy. However, chivalry is not yet dead. The only reason people think so is that we, the gentlemen, allow them. 

As such, in today's article, we'll be looking at five basic etiquette rules that every gentleman should follow.

The men of their age helped them, and the culture stuck until today.
