Etiquettes to be observed by Photographers at the time of National Anthem is being Played?

June 3, 2010 - 7:00 am 1 Comment

"Can a Video Photgrapher or Still Photographer move around National Anthem is being Played after Flag Hoisting on 15th. August or 26th. January?"

What do specific dates have to do with anything?

Etiquette is not law. Since it is no longer illegal to burn the flag, what harm can there possibly be in a photographer moving around during the National Anthem?

Can you give me some examples of the different cultural etiquettes around the world?

May 26, 2010 - 8:35 am 3 Comments

Though it’s customary here to eat everything on your plate in Japan it’s rude to finish all the food on your plate or stare someone in the eye, in India it’s good to belch after a meal, a hand movement that means feed me means a totally different thing in Italy. What cultural diffrences to do you of? Name or list any you can think of?

Sure here is a few: European myself here, Danish

We Danes insist on punctuality for social occasions.
Guests are expected to eat everything on their plate.
Toasting can be a very formal process. Never toast your hosts until they have toasted you, and never toast anyone senior to you in rank or age.
Sweden
Toasting is something of a formal ritual in Sweden. Don’t take a drink until your host has given a toast
A butter knife is usually provided. Do not use a dinner knife for butter.
Do not ask for a tour of your host’s home unless you have a well established relationship.
France
Keep your hands on the table at all times during a meal — not in your lap. However, take care to keep your elbows off the table.
Never cut bread. Break bread with your fingers.
Fold your salad onto your fork by using your knife. Do not cut your salad with a knife or fork.
Never eat fruit whole. Fruit should be peeled and sliced before eating.
Cross your knife and fork across your plate to signify that you would like more food.
Do not ask for a tour of your host’s home, it would be considered impolite.
Ireland
Refusing a drink can be perceived as insult in Ireland.
Table manners are the same as in England, only a bit more relaxed

what etiquettes should be followed in semainars/guest lectures, while asking questions?any references?

May 22, 2010 - 10:24 pm 1 Comment

one often finds some audience qustioning the speaker very violently during the Q&A session in aguest lecture.There must be some well laid out etiquettes for asking questions.i request for details of the same.Also, if ane references can be included, i can read the same.Thanks to the yahoo answering community in advance.Hope to get your replies soon.

Unfortunately, there is no rule on etiquette when it comes to seminars and guest speaking. You will always run into the obnoxious individual without any common sense.

I work for a fairly large health care company. During company town hall meetings, I would instruct my folks to keep their emotions aside and refrain from slandering — keep it short, professional, and business oriented. I have to remind them that they are professionals and they need to set an example for the rest of the guests.

Can you give me some examples of the different cultural etiquettes/differences around the world?

I agree with DMit, it all makes sense.
