Hello friends how are you all doing today I hope all is well and you all are having a nice and wonderful day today I will be taking part in a contest organized by @eveetim which is titled "Courtesy"

Courtesy this can be simply explain or best describe as the fundamental behavior which has to do with the politeness, showing of respect in social interaction, in other words it can also be best describe as the process of recognizing and showing value to the people around you which involves their needs, feelings, interest etc.

Yes of course courtesy is a very important value that should be cherish amongst people, since it involves treating people in a way that is respectful to their interest and feelings.

In a wider scope of knowledge even the Bible teaches us to love one another and with courtesy in our heart I think the act of love would prevail greatly in our society, so I believe that courtesy is important because it cherish and promote brotherliness and togetherness.

In a country like Nigeria I have learnt that we have so many ethnic groups and a total of 515 languages including English, so there are so many need for courtesy in terms of culture due to differences in ideology

• Courtesy is needed in an instance where two ethnic groups meet in a social environment of interaction
• Courtesy is also needed when speaking of addressing an elder to give them their appropriate title
• In Nigerian culture courtesy is needed when it comes to the mode of greeting, most especially using the right hand in hand shakes or collecting something from someone
• Courtesy is needed when it comes to mode of greeting for some cultures in Nigeria we are expected to bow while some to lay on the ground
• Also courtesy is needed when talking of hospitality to guest

Some months ago it was trending online on tiktok where a student was trying to make a video that she was supposed to post online then suddenly a lecturer walked pass in the background and in response to that the girl was like asking the man why he would spoil her video.

So the whole situation resulted to her holding the man's cloth and dragging him and even shouting which of course drew the attention of the people around.

In a normal sense the girl is a student she would have just cancelled the video and started again, instead she chooses to neglect courtesy and cherish an inhuman act of disrespecting an elder.

My stance when it comes to courtesy is the fact that courtesy is an act of humility that should be cherish amongst people and should be even taught in schools and when I say school I mean in the primary level so that out future leaders would grow up with this values of virtue.
