Since what we do is connected to why we should do it, manners and morals were investigated by both social scientists and philosophers.
Despite a common perceptual origin, morals and manners have developed differently.
Political correctness constitutes a worldview in which manners supersede morals in governing social relationships.
It would seem that political correctness, like manners or practical wisdom, is nothing more than a political instrument.
Manners are about the appearance of good taste and morals.
Are manners and morals essentially the same? Are manners merely "Small morals," as Thomas Hobbes defines them? Or is there a fundamental distinction?
We might draw the distinction between manners and morals by stating that manners are instrumental behaviors while morals are existential.
