When you ask someone to "what does it mean to be polite?" each person will have different but similar ideas. What about my idea? I think first step to being polite is use kind words. For instance when you have a mistake to someone, you should say you sorry about it and you should be kind. Second you should have good manners to other people.For example when you see your classmate on the street you can smile him/her then they smile to you too. Last but not least,for me respect as important as being kind they are match so if you want be polite you should be respectful to real first step.
