Social Hierarchy Etiquette in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Social hierarchy is relatively informal in daily life, so people usually address one another politely but without rigid class-based rules, and a friendly, respectful tone matters more than titles or status. In practice, older people, church leaders, teachers, and community figures are given deference, especially in smaller villages and at public gatherings, where good manners and not speaking too bluntly are seen as important.
