Etiquette

Where do we get our sense of social courtesy? Is it learned behavior? Is it instinctive, subconscious? How are we socialized to know and understand the rules of the society we live in? We all conform in one way or another to expected behavior. We learn the etiquette of interacting with each other and what is allowed and what isn't. We know where to draw the line with strangers and we learn how far we can go with friends.
So what happens when someone breaks the rules? Where does the indignation and anger come from when we encounter an individual who seems to have no sense of the basics of common courtesy? There seems to be a disrespect inherent in actions that do not fit the rules, or behavior that deviates from that basic social courtesy we expect from each other. Is it an overreaction to ostracize the individual? Are second chances allowed after an extreme breach of conduct? Do we allow someone back with no guarantee that the same thing, or something worse won't happen? After all - aren't we the only ones to blame if it does?
