WELCOME...The goal of The Civility Institute is to encourage a multi-dimensional study and discussion of civility and its complex and powerful role in human relations.
Lack of consideration, impoliteness, workplace bullying, self-entitlement, stressed workers, purposeful rudeness, lack of etiquette, disrepect, violence, social cynicism, unethical practices are all affecting people's motivation,
productivity and health.
It is our hope that the knowledge emanating from this cooperative venture will add to our understanding of the social psychology of intimate relations, identity and mutual recognition, management of educational, corporate and political eultures, and international relations.
"The most urgent challenge facing contemporary civilizations is the difficult task of reconciling our competitive spirit with our need for communal and global civility. The survival of our civilizations may depend on our finding a workable solution to this dilemma."
