Decency, regarded as the everyday moral baseline in America, is declining, resulting in increased public and workplace incivility. This surge in disrespect is costly, affecting both mental health and interpersonal relationships. There is a pressing need for visible role modeling and thoughtful institutional safeguards to restore respect and mitigate negative impulses. While decency may not be associated with extraordinary virtue, it encompasses small actions that uphold dignity, which are essential for the functioning of a pluralistic democracy.
The rise in public and workplace incivility costs billions and harms mental health and relationships, indicative of America’s fading moral baseline of decency.
Visible modeling and thoughtful institutional safeguards are imperative to restoring respect in society, curbing impulses that lead to division and instability.
