Civics and Civility for Capability

From early Governance With RCS

Some "how tos" 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 have a lot to learn. My old aunt told me that by beginning, we are half way there. After beginning one does ones best by keeping on keeping on.

The Men Who Killed Kennedy - Part 9 - The Guilty Men (2003)

What are we doing to keep informed about that which is going on now? We are a nation not a kingdom. Why we do not put our trust into ourselves and not into a him or a her? How would you like your children to get their information? How should our youth be educated to be responsible for their governance and well capable of their responsibility?

Civics. Civics for fun and profit. Society and behavior.

Culture is More Important than Politics

We can make culture. Magic Table Dialogue can provide first lessons in making culture. Politics may be a pleasant duty. Civics.
