Social etiquette and business etiquette differ, in that business etiquette is gender neutral, and social etiquette assigns differing tasks to men and women.  The Culture and Manners instruction in Social Etiquette focuses on the traditional rules where a gentlemen pulls out chairs and a lady is the first to extend her hand in an introduction.  Social Etiquette is a lost art that never fails to impress.
