Politeness
Politeness was respectful behavior or etiquette meant to prevent causing offense to another. What was considered polite was usually dependent on one's culture.
In 2364, Captain Jean-Luc Picard requested to see the kidnapped Tasha Yar then and there instead of waiting to see her later that night at a banquet arranged in his honor. Lutan found it odd that a man of Picard's experience had such difficulty understanding ordinary politeness. Picard responded with "Such as the politeness of saying 'please' before abducting someone?" According to Lutan, the expression 'please' was used only when requesting the person back. (TNG: "Code of Honor")
