Why is it important?
Our culture has gotten meaner, nasty, and uncivil. We need to find ways to push back to create a more civil society and culture for all.
Perspectives
I believe that we can create a better world and community with an emphasis on civility, politeness, graciousness, and hospitality. We are more like to be able to flourish and thrive if we can do so.
