Reflection 1: Which Fork Do I Use?—On Table Manners and You

Directly or indirectly, we are all taught that a certain protocol exists during meals. Every meal is accompanied by long list of dos and don'ts, some of which we may be conscious of and some of which we may not. How would you rate your own table manners? What are you a stickler about and in which areas could use some work? How important is the etiquette of those with whom you are eating? What bothers you the most about other people's manners at the dinner table?

Include at least two of the following in your discussion:

• "Table Manners Quiz" (ProProfs)
• "Etiquette 101: What the World Thinks About Us (Condé Nast Traveler)
• "Put a Fork in It" (Slate)
• "United States Dining Etiquette" (What's Cooking, America)
• "A Man’s Guide to Dining Etiquette and Proper Table Manners" (The Art of Manliness)
• "Why Americans' Table Manners are Going Down the Drain" (HuffPost)

Mechanics:

• 1.5 pages in length
• MLA Style, plus works cited

Due: Wed 8.26 (via Canvas)
