Some "how to" for civics
Civility is an important part of civics and politics.
We can profit by learning:
~ some collaborative leadership.
~ about a deeper level of tolerance.
~ about sources of conflict.
~ how people who are fundamentally different from each other can develop sensibilities that enable them to get along.
~learning about consensus building.
We are at our civic best when we:
~ are listening.
~ are working in partnership with others.
~ lead by example.
~ have the courage to be appropriately humble.
We can practice and learn and, we can learn and practice. My old aunt told me that by beginning, we are halfway there. After beginning one does one's best by keeping on keeping on.
