EUTHENICS Course Description -This course is designed to dig on the image building of a CSUan as it will focus on the realization of the students of their role in creating a better self-image human person and as future generalist practitioner and effective agent of change. Euthenics - is a branch of art and science that deals with the improvement of human functioning, efficiency, and well-being by modifying controllable environmental factors such as living conditions and education. Euthenein Greek word which means, "to thrive, grow or develop." Ellen Swallow Richards (1842-1911) -first known authors to make use of the word euthenics in her book The Cost of Shelter (1905).

Lesson 1: Table manners -rules used while eating, which may also include the use of utensils. -Different culture observes different rules for table manners, Each family or group sets its own standard for how strictly these are to be used. Sitting Down at the table -good time to silence your phone, wait until everyone is gathered at the table before sitting down and take a cue from the host furthermore; don't take a special seat---like the head of the table, or inadvertently steal the seat with the best view -First thing you do when you sit down usually is to put your napkin on your lap. Body language -your posture should be upright and attentive, no slouching or leaning back in your chair. Elbows off the Table -the most misunderstood rule in dining etiquette, keep your elbows off the table while you're eating---and keep your free hand on your lap. But it is OK to put your elbows on the table---particularly after the meal when you're just chatting. The Place Setting \- There are all these glasses, plates and forks and knives. The good news is, you don't need to memorize what everything is Getting Your Bearings -irst thing you'll need to figure out is, where is your water glass, and where is your bread plate but just remember the trick b and d, B(left) is for bread plate, D(right) is for drinks What's With All the silverware? -each utensil should relate to the order that the dishes will be presented in, Those ones on the top are for dessert. Left, you'll have a bunch of forks and on right if some knives and spoon. Starting the Meal -wait until everyone else is served before starting. Handling Your Silverware -Western world, there are two main ways to hold your fork and knife: the American style and the Continental style. AMERICAN STYLE -you hold your fork in your dominant hand, sort of like a pencil. When it's time to use your knife, switch your fork to your non-dominant hand and cut with your dominant hand, and eat with your dominant hand. CONTINENTAL STYLE -you keep your fork in your non-dominant hand and keep your knife in your dominant hand, and cut with your dominant hand. Still just cut one bite of food at a time, but don't switch. You'll just eat using your non-dominant hand. -According to Emily Post, either style is fine. I often find myself doing the Continental style because it's less complicated "Can You Please Pass the..." -just close enough that you can grab it doesn't mean you should, just say "can you please pass the" Eating Food You Don't Like -you're at someone's house and they serve something you don't like? Rather than avoiding it altogether, the polite approach is to serve yourself one or two bites, and at least taste it. Unless you are so allergic FINGER FOODS -Yes, believe it or not, it is acceptable to eat some foods with your hands...even at a formal dinner Chewing and Talking -you shouldn't talk with your mouth full of food. Try to avoid smacking and chewing loudly Taking a Drink -It's not technically a crime to take a drink with food in your mouth. But if you do, you shouldn't be obvious about it. -you don't need to ask for permission. You also don't need to say where you're going. Just say "excuse me, I'll be right back." Checking Your Phone -Your phone should never be seen (or heard) during a formal meal. It's VERY disrespectful to the other guests. Ending the Meal -Throughout the meal, if you're just taking a break from eating, you can place your fork and knife this way to show you're not finished eeee  AMERICAN CONTINENTAL If you're actually finished, you can put the knife and fork together on your plate at an angle, which indicates that you're done (for both American and Continental styles) tttttt Lesson 2 Power Dressing -Power dressing- refers to a style of clothing and hair intended to make wearers seem authoritative and competent, especially in professional settings in business, law and government.
