If this is your first visit to Civility Today, welcome.

What are your expectations here, particularly in terms of obligations?

Civility must be carefully and consistently nurtured if it is to be adequately developed and maintained.

What do you nurture and why?

Nurturing is associated with caring.  It is associated with kindness.  It is not necessarily associated with knowledge.

What is your acquaintance with symbiosis?

What is your acquaintance with human nature?

What is your acquaintance with the nature versus nurture debate?

If you believe that politicians, political parties and their staff should be obliged to comply with something similar to a code of professional ethics, possibly supervised by a board of highly qualified, suitably experienced, independent commissioners, why do you have that belief?

Perhaps you believe that such a code should oblige factual accuracy and appropriate provisions for privacy, including during election campaigns.

How do you assess ethical obligations in relation to any sort of campaigning? 

What are your beliefs about obligations in relation to ethics?

What do you know about gender-related investments of time and other resources in relation to freedom and obligation?

How do you usually reflect upon the meaning of the words duty and obligation?

 

How do you reflect upon the meaning of loyalty in relation to duty?

Perhaps you do not have the energy to think about such questions.

If you feel obliged to contribute to the improvement of politics and public policy, what are your reasons for feeling that way?
