hay que tener una manera adecuada de comportarse de acuerdo a los lineamientos de la sociedad,

you must be on your best behavior.

Estoy de acuerdo con las otras repuestas, pero este es otra manera de decirlo. O, depende del contexto, "everyone must be on his or her best behavior".

Good manners are expressly demanded.

Traduccir 'comportarse buen' a 'behave yourself' no suena bien para el comportamiento de adultos.

it is a must to behave well

la palabra "must" en Ingles es precisamente usada cuando la situacion exije un comando imperativo. En este caso creo que es so lo que necesitas para explicar la sentencia. Espero que te ayude

Otro, la mayoria suenan bien pero es mejor mantener una pasiva para traducir el impersonal.
