On May 27th we welcomed back Dr. Robert Hunt as our speaker. His remarks were titled "Maintaining Civil Society in an Age of Social Distancing."As we are keeping physical distancing from others except for family we are no less socially connected by the internet.Too often we are not empathetic toward those we do not know as well as those with whom we interact.

Civility and self discipline are the foundations of a society and interpersonal interaction. Dr. Hunt pointed out the degree of anonymity which internet communication allows even to the point of allowing hiding one's identity with others. This can engender intercourse which is demeaning,coarse and hurtful which few would use in face to face conversation.
The take-away from Hunt's comments is we need to exercise restraint and good manners in our dealings with others which come to think of it is the underlying basis for the 4-Way Test. More than ever this is the time to be a practitioner of kindness and actions which promote a more civil environment in which we live.
