
George Washington created rules for civil
and decent behaviour for example:

“Shake not the head, feet, or legs. Roll
not the eyes, nor lift one eyebrow higher
than the other; wry not the mouth; and
bedew no man’s face with your spittle by
approaching too near him when you
speak.”
Stephen L. Carter –
Professor of law at Yale
Article “Civility: manners, morals and the etiquette of democracy”
1.
Our duty to be civil toward others does not depend on whether we like them
or not.
2.
Civility requires that we sacrifice for strangers, not just for people we happen
to know.
3.
Civility has two parts: generosity, even when it is costly, and trust, even when
there is risk.
4.
Civility creates not merely a negative duty not to do harm, but an affirmative
duty to do good.
5.
Civility requires a commitment to live a common moral life, so we should try
to follow the norms of the community if the norms are not actually immoral.
6.
We must come into the presence of our fellow human beings with a sense of
awe and gratitude.
Civility cont.
7.
Civility assumes that we will disagree; it requires us not to mask our
differences but to resolve them respectfully.
8.
Civility requires that we listen to others with knowledge of the possibility
that they are right and we are wrong.
9.
Civility requires that we express ourselves in ways that demonstrate our
respect for others.
10. Civility requires resistance to the dominance of social life by the values of
the marketplace. Thus, the basic principles of civility – generosity and trust –
should apply as fully in the market and in politics as in every other human
activity.
11. Civility allows criticism of others, and sometimes even requires it, but the
criticism should always be civil.
