The Lost Art of Etiquette and Social Graces

​

Is etiquette the missing ingredient in today’s society? In many of our schools and communities, the atmosphere of respect and civility is fading. Simple expressions like “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me” are too often replaced with slang. Handshakes have become fist bumps, “hello” has turned into “what’s up,” and personal presentation often reflects a lack of self-respect.

 

At Far Above Rubies, we’re not here to criticize the next generation — we’re here to invest in them. Today’s youth are often more influenced by digital culture than by meaningful, face-to-face interaction. With parents balancing demanding responsibilities, many children are missing consistent guidance in manners, social skills, and identity formation.

​

Our mission is to bridge that gap — to help restore the art of etiquette and social grace, and to nurture confidence, respect, and self-worth in the next generation.
