What is the appropriate way to act in public? Is there a good way to act or a bad way to act in public be it a store or nice restaurant? For example if you were at a restaurant how should you expect yourself to act or those around you for that matter? Should you make yourself act in a certain way when you are in public? If you were again in a store or restaurant and you see a bunch of people coming in or out, would you open the door for them or let them get it themselves? Should you as a person set rules for yourself to act upon when are in public?

I personally think that know one should try to act like something there not. I mean there's always things like being respectful when your going to apply for a job because we know how we need to act in order to get that job, but other then that everyone should just be there selves. We were not put on this world in order to impress other people. If opening the door for someone is being the real you then be you, but if opening the door for yourself and no one else is you then you should still be you. People cant get mad at you for being you, but the can get mad at you for not being you because you are portraying something you are not.

I think that acting socially acceptable and setting rules and boundaries are very similar. But for the sake of being super cool and not conforming I believe that making rules for yourself takes a lot of will power. I personally act on what I have been taught, but I do set rules and guide lines for myself

i think that in society there shouldbe a certain way people should act in public. I see it as just being polite. If your in a restaurant...dont be rude and obnoxious, burping and farting. how would you like it if the person next to you was doing that. if your walkin into or out of a store and meet someone else goin in or out politely take it upon yourself to hold the door. I always try to hold the door for people..especially if i see that they are old or maybe pushing a baby in a stroller or even just loaded with things in their arms. this is just being polite. Maybe people would appeciate others more if we were more like this.

In a society, I think you should act how you are as a person. However, there should also be a limit to that. If you're normally a "rough" person, don't like to talk, frown all day, etc...don't do that to everyone. Maybe not smile, but don't glare at everyone who walks near you.
Just the basic principles: Be nice to people, treat them with respect, etc. I suppose the saying "treat people the way you want to be treated" is a good way for acting in society.
People have feelings, they'll remember if someone was a jerk to them, and they'll tell other people about it most likely.
Can't really say too much else, most of it has already been said.

I think that a person should know how to act in public or at a restaurant. I was taught to be polite and hold the door for others, or just show the respect to others while in a restaurant or another place in public. I also think a person should be themselves and not try to be anything they aren't. Not everyone is going to like you and that is a common fact. A common gesture like holding the door for an elderly couple or anyone is appreciated a lot more than people think. I do think there is a certain way in public and it's showing respect and being courteous to the one's around you. A common act of politeness goes a far way sometimes.

I think that how you act in public should be the same as what you would act like at work. You can be laid back and talk but yelling, cursing, and rude behavior shgould not be alowed in public areas. I personaly take the time to open doors for people. I think of it as a way to show respect. In return the person i open the door for respects me for having the respesct to help them. There is no law that says you have to open doors but what goes around comes around and the more hateful and disrespectful you are the less poeple will respect you and when you get in a jam and need help no one will be there to help you.

the appropriate way to act in public is to not be rude. Dont talk to loud or talk with your mouth full with food. You know common since things that some people never learned. I do think you should act a certain way in public, you should act with respect for others and think about that you are not at home so you need to have manors.

Civil obiedience is becoming a thing of the past. People today are all about themselves and trying to squeeze in an extra second of time anyway that they can. It is very obvious that there are people that don't care what so ever about you or anyone around them through their actions. People tend to let out all of their personal aggrivations in a manner that is very unnecessary and usually direct it toward someone that doesn't deserve it. I worked at a grocery store for over three years and I have seen a range from people that are very polite and curdious of others the complete assholes (yes, they deserved to be called that). These people could not be satisfied by any means because they already had the mindset of a foul mood, and they didn't mind letting you know about it in front of as many people as possible. Actions like that are ver unnecessary and uncalled for. There are just some people that just cannot conduct themselves accordingly in a public place.
There should certainly be a set of unwritten guidelines for people to follow and we actually have one. They are called moral values. It would be nice to see more people use their common sence of obiedience every once and a while.

The way you need to act in public is smart. Anymore i see people trying to show off in front of people just acting like they are cool. But what it is really showing is the level of immaturity that people have. You do not want people looking down at you because you are representing your family in the way you act, i know for some people they do not care about how they act but some people do.

I am respectful and courteous to others when I am in public. I feel that using good manners and being helpful to others was instilled in me at a young age. I won't say I don't act fun and crazy at times when out with friends at clubs, but I don't disrespect others to get a good laugh. I hate when you are eating at a restaurant and someone starts cussing, using vulgar language. I feel it is inappropriate. I do not like when someone working in a customer service position is rude to me, I will comment on their behavior. One of my biggest pet peeves are these people who only have a job as a cashier or server to get money, and treat people poorly. I will call them on it, and it if is really bad, I will takl with management. There is nothing worse than getting treated like shit for no reason. I expect to be treated the way I treat others, and I will open the door or hold the door open for the next person. That is how I am and I don't like to judge or mistreat someone just because. I think you should be respectful regardless who you are or how you were raised.

Well i guess there is no right way to act in public but I do think people should behave like for example if you are in a restaurant you shouldn't just burp out loud, and some people just bump into to you because they can, and disrespectful stuff like dat. I think people need to keep in mind their manners all the time but specially when in public.
