Courtesy comes from the word civilis , which in Latin means "citizens". Decency more than individual acts as a citizen. When decency is functioning well, there are many citizens who carry out their civil liability by taking part in the political process (voting, government), also known as civil involvement.

Ikhtisar
Decency is the act of working together productively to achieve a common goal, and often with a worthwhile purpose. Some definitions attribute courtesy to modesty, which suggests breaking away with others to avoid offending ("rolling and playing dead"...). The constructive positive notion of civilization shows a strong, even passionate, engagement, framed in terms of different views. In his call to restore modesty, Father Rick Warren said, "In America, we have to learn how to disagree without mutual insulting each other." Reverend Warren speaks metaphorically, but the fundamental principle he wants to return is the idea that people can still work together even though they do not always completely agree with their respective points of view.
Community, choice, conscience, character are all elements directly related to decency. Modesty is more than a courtesy, because it involves the development of civil stance and civil responsibility. Modesty often forms friendships and more meaningful relationships, with the basic tone of the citizen's duty to help more than the sum total.
When people engage in mutual conversation with modesty becomes the focal point of results in situations, this is often referred to as civil discourse. Kenneth J. Gergen, an American psychologist, suggests that everyone's opinion on all sides should be respected when in civil discourse, as "an impartial language of objectivity." Since time immemorial, Freemasonry has promoted the democratic habits of honest listening and civil discourse. The origins of the Freemasons originate from the beginnings of the masonry fraternity, and have since preserved the open environment to enable democratic processes for alternative ideas.
Etymology
End of Central English: from ancient French civil, from Latin civility , from citizen-related civilis (see civilian). In initial use, the term signifies the state of being a citizen and therefore good citizenship or orderly conduct. The sense of 'modesty' emerged in the mid-16th century. Maps Civility
Development model
Adolf G. Gundersen and Suzanne Goodney Lea have developed a model of decency based on empirical data that "emphasizes the notion that politeness is a sequence, not a thing or a set of things". This model considers modesty as a continuum or scale consisting of increasingly demanding qualities ranging from "indifference" to "commenting", "conversation", "joint exploration" and, from there, to "habituation". According to the authors, such a developmental model has several distinct advantages, at least it is that it allows decency to be seen as something that everyone can be better.
Civilizations around the world
Movement to encourage civilization around the world
International Peace Day ("Peace Day") was observed by many countries on 21 September. The first peaceful day began in 1981 by the declaration of the UN General Assembly. The vote strongly supported the enactment of the Day of Peace, and thus the birth was born. The purpose of Peace Day is to help unite the world, and share a peaceful and harmonious attitude together. Many countries around the world celebrate September 21 as a non-violent day and a ceasefire to emulate the global peace mission. Since its beginnings the day has spread throughout the world, with many countries annually participating in this obedience.
Participation is open to everyone in the world. People can choose to celebrate Peace Day in different ways, but the goal is to have peace at the heart of all activity intentions. Individuals, businesses and organizations are also welcome and encouraged to celebrate the Day of Peace. Spreading peace and goodwill towards all humanity is a great goal that wants to raise awareness for Peace Day.
In May 2007, the Global Peace Index (GPI) was launched in an effort to measure the relative rank of peace in various countries around the world. Today, the Global Peace Index is maintained by the Institute of Economics and Peace, and is conducted on an annual basis. This index mainly measures three different categories to determine the level of peace in the world. These levels see overall security, crime rates, and build military strength. By measuring the level of peace, the expectation is that greater awareness and general attention is given to making the world a more peaceful place.
In the United States
History
Before George Washington became the first president of the United States, he, as a young man, wrote a publication called the Declaration of Appropriateness Policies and Behavior in Companies and Conversations. Washington's book includes 110 rules on decency with a key message for cultivating good behavior. The book is listed in a numerical format, listing each line as individual suggestions themselves starting in the topic of how to dress, eat, and talk to people correctly.
A letter written by John Adams, the second President of the United States, tells his wife of "his fear that in every assembly, members will be affected by noise, not feelings". His letter goes on to warn that the dangers of not acting with respect or courtesy can cause the government to come to an end in disarray. Adams believes that a deeper respect is needed from every level of government, and not just its leaders, to be more fully effective.
In March 2010, author Anna Post published a book entitled "Mr. Manners, Lessons from Obama on Modesty , which highlights the good behavior of the President of the United States. The book is marked with Post comments along with pictures with President Obama's commitment to daily courtesy.
Poll
The 2010 Allegheny College poll found that almost all Americans (95 percent) believe that politeness is important in politics.
In a 2012 poll conducted by Weber Shandwick, 65% of Americans reported an increase in irreverence due to the weakening US economy during the Great Recession. Nearly 50% of the same Americans surveyed indicated that they had escaped participating in any politics for fear of impoliteness or oppression. Of the 1,000 people surveyed, a follow-up study revealed that 86% of the people were reported to be subjected to irreverence. In this report, part of the annual follow-up research report in January 2016 shares findings on attitudes and sentiments about decency, 95% of Americans believe that irreverence is a very visible issue, while 74% recognize that decency has generally declined over the past few years. More than 90% of voters stated that the civilian attitudes and attitudes of presidential candidates will play an important role in their decision-making in the upcoming 2016 elections.
Movement to encourage civility in the US.
In government
Many projects are led by the State Superior Court to encourage civilization. One of these initiatives is headed by California Judicial Branch for their Citizenship Education program. The main purpose of this program is to teach young adults and students how democracy should function in the United States and other details about how the legal process works. Its mission is to let students leave the program with greater interest and understanding of US courts, legal processes, and democracy.
In the legal profession
Penn State University undertakes the study of legal professional perceptions and their relationship to decency. They found that public opinion indicates a decrease or decrease in decency with the legal profession. To overcome degrading and unprofessional behavior, there are several initiatives undertaken by state bar associations. However, the legal profession is not the only industry that has adopted standards of decency. Many other companies and organizations in some industries have adopted a standard of decency that also helps to improve courtesy of the workplace.
In schools
Many US universities, such as the University of Colorado, the University of Missouri, the University of California Davis, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Rutgers, the University of America, and California State University San Marcos have created programs designed to foster and define what decency means on their campus. Some colleges, such as Arizona State University, offer graduate certificates in Civil Communications. Still other universities, such as Kansas State University, have developed programs in dialogue and deliberations that involve codes of conduct that encourage constructive civil discourse. Although many colleges have adopted programs to encourage civilization efforts, there are still many colleges and universities, including many Ivy League schools, which have no or no visible place online about any initiative, code or standard of courtesy.
In community
Many community groups have been formed throughout the US to restore constructive decency in the public sphere. The Civility Toolkit with about 300 courtesy tools is collected by the Civility Center with a mission to help provide access to resources on decency and to help restore modesty in society. Many of these groups are members of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation. Other programs such as iCivics, started by Sandra Day O'Conner, US Justice, provide educational tools for students who teach about the importance of playing an active role in democracy. Although some private schools offer courses designed to teach about the US government and the legal system, most public schools do not teach about the US government until their first or last year in high school. To help bring this lesson to class, the O'Conner program provides teachers with educational tools, such as printable targets, games, and lesson plans.
Arnett and Arneson define modesty "metaphors that show the importance of public respect in interpersonal interaction." The difference between tolerating someone, and respecting them relates to the view that tolerance does not imply respect, but respect requires an understanding of the perspective of others. Having social intelligence or "Social IQ" affects our ability to empathize with others, and realizes that all human beings are human and that if respect or equality can not be met, we strive for at least tolerance to become civil.
In Psychology Today Price-Mitchell describes modesty as a personal attitude that recognizes other human rights to live and coexist in ways that do not harm others. The psychicology of decency shows awareness, the ability to control the self-appetite, and having a deeper understanding of others is part of the civil obligation, which everyone should strive to participate. This may indicate that modesty extends beyond mere tolerance, but may inherently imply mutual coexistence and respect for mankind. Some may relate it to the ideas expressed by singer John Lennon in the song "Imagine", with the words "Imagine everyone sharing around the world." Although the level of peace can be a subjective topic, many will agree that it requires a certain level of harmony and opposes violence to remain civil.
In academic journals Philosophy & amp; Public Affairs, Calhoun describes modesty as an element of dialogue that highlights "basic moral attitudes of respect, tolerance, and judgment". The topic of modesty is expansive, and can be seen from different perspectives. Calhoun considers modesty to be part of a moral virtue that can be different from what is socially acceptable, since what is socially acceptable is not always morally right. Masons and Civility
Freemasons and members of the entire Masonic family, have had a long history of fostering civil dialogue and building civil society. Masoni Lodges represents a peaceful gathering of people from different places of origin, languages, backgrounds and beliefs. In particular, the principles and principles of Freemasonry's values ​​aim to promote and restore modesty in the United States and around the world. In 2015, Grand Master Charvonia of the Grand Lodge of California declared May 25, 2015 as "Champion Civility Month", which encourages Freemasons throughout California to make efforts to bring more decency into their local organizations and communities. In addition, Freemasons from around the world have worked to improve politeness through the Masonic Civil Family Project. The Civil Project was built to help raise awareness about decency, and by providing social conversations, courtesy resources, multimedia education, and information for anyone to access.
In the workplace
Recent studies and polls from 2014 show that Americans find irreverence in the workplace a growing problem that negatively impacts them and their workplace duties. One research study showed that 60% of employees thought that their colleagues' annoying habits had a negative impact on their work. In the same study, 40% reported that they sought other employment opportunities because of other negative co-workers. These studies show that immodestity in the workplace dampens productivity and adverse effects on the bottom line of the organization. While this data only seeks to measure the extent of workplace instability in the workplace, it does not take into account how many people experience irreverence in the workplace and are unsure what they can do about it. In addition, it does not take into account how much of this workplace has the proprietary tools or initiatives in the company under study.
Many organizations, including the United States government, have been actively trying to take steps to prevent irreverence in the workforce. One measure that was initiated to reduce irreverence in the workplace is to process cases of sexual harassment to be illegal, defined by the US EEO Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as unlawful in every country to harass anyone during work or employ a process due to the sex of persons that. Harassment may include "sexual harassment", but not limited to bullying in the workplace, cyber bullying, physical and verbal threats. Although many would agree that sexual harassment is a problem that should be illegal, it has really been the spotlight of attention in the US since 1964. Due to the legal consequences of earlier classification of past sexual harassment cases in the past, its limits are more loosely interpreted and more people are subjected to unwanted contact or attention. Because the term has been redefined, people are better protected from a legal perspective in their workplace, but must actively participate in preventing this problem by talking and/or reporting the problem. The definition for this law is still written today, as more people speak out against abuse.
Lack of politeness
Irreverence is the opposite of modesty, or in other words, lacking or completely without courtesy. Verbal or physical attacks on others, cyber bullying, rudeness, religious intolerance, lack of respect, discrimination and vandalism are just a few acts that are generally regarded as irreverent acts. Irreverence is a negative part of society that has affected many people in the United States, but as the world becomes more transparent in social interaction, it is increasingly clear that irreverence has become a problem on the global stage. Social media and the web have given people the ability around the world to exchange ideas freely, but it does not come without consequences.
Politicians in the US often cite that they face a lack of modesty in their workplace, and have ignored it as an unfavorable political aspect, but polls show that "being negative" can help a candidate win the election. During the 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump regularly named his rival "stupid, incompetent, and losers".
Recognizing that online irreverence, more commonly referred to as cyber bullying, has become an increasing problem that takes away from a positive online experience. Recognizing that people who harass people online have become a problem and can have negative consequences for businesses, many companies have stepped up to create more awareness and initiative to help. Intel is working with organizations such as Born This Way Foundation and Vox Media have created an initiative called "Hacking Harassment" aimed at raising awareness of online harassment and anti-harassment technology. There is no claim of a solution to what can be done to stop online harassment, but many studies show that a large number of people are harassed online. While there are many tactics to block cyber-bullying, such as censorship and banning users from accessing the site, it does not fix the underlying problem on what caused it in the first place. While blocking online people from intimidating others can solve some problems on the web, it may only manifest itself in other forms offline and privately where possibilities for violence and other physical damage can occur.
On April 22, 2016 The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago released a report stating that 74 percent of Americans think behavior and behavior has declined in the United States. In this study they found that people in many cases could agree with inappropriate and inappropriate behavior. They found that 8 out of 10 Americans find jokes made based on race, gender, or sexuality are considered inappropriate, but few people actually make jokes like this. Although there are some differences between age demographics on newer technologies, such as the use of cell phones. The report shows that almost half of all Americans 18-29 feel able to use their cell phones in restaurants, while fewer than 22 percent of people over the age of 60 agree.
In Canada
Movement to encourage civility in Canada
In July 2012, the President of the Federation of Legal Communities of Canada made a strong point on decency at the fifth International Biennial Law Ethics Conference. Legislation is often very open to interpretation, unless explicitly and unspecified by law, but in many cases where the law has not been defined many lawyers can see the opportunity to act unscrupulous to win their case. Mental "anything to accomplish work" not only has negative consequences in the legal system, but also can expand the potential laws and regulations for unlawful exploitation.
In addition, during 2012, the Law Society of Upper Canada ruled that Joe Groia was guilty of his irreverence to challenge advice during the defenses of John Felderhof's success from insider trading and securities costs. In the same case, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed the Bar of Quebec decision that Giles Dore was guilty of a professional error due to an uncivilized letter he wrote to the judge. This high profile case brings much attention to the legal definition of the word politeness, and what it means to be civil in the legal profession. Since then there has been established a broader set of rules concerning what is legally considered civilian in a court of law in Canada.
Since the case with Joe Groia, The Law Society of Upper Canada has launched several initiatives to maintain irreverence in the Canadian legal profession. To uphold the Law Society's attitude on the courtesy issues within the Canadian legal system, they have issued verbal warnings to non-civilian lawyers with judges and other lawyers. Counter arguments against modesty measures if new guidelines hamper their ability to defend their clients. Because laws and rules are often open to interpretation, some lawyers consider it a conflict of interest to be civil with their opponents because they do not believe there is a way to achieve their goals while remaining civil.
In January 2017, BC & amp; The Yukon Freemasons in Canada declare such modesty as The Golden Rule, which is defined as "treating others as you want them to treat you". This statement is part of a recent courtesy initiative based on respect and inclusiveness with family, society and society at large.
In New Zealand
Movement to encourage decency in New Zealand
At the last address with top Gisborne entrepreneur in early 2016, Lara Meyer adviser to the Australian Government cited rudeness at work has cost New Zealand about $ 15 Million a year. Noting that Australia also lost about $ 26 Million a year due to lack of work at work. It could even potentially be more innumerable losses in New Zealand's business, because the cost of rudeness can keep them from working together more polite and fun.
