Good Manners And Respect Will Never Go Out Of Style

In this changing, complex and dynamic world, there are roots that continue to give us strength and encouragement. No matter how fast our society progresses, there are things that keep us afloat, including sincerity, respect, good manners.

Thanks to anonymity on these platforms, it is common to be disrespectful and rude to other people and groups.

The social media world is a complex scenario where the worst and best of people are often reflected.

This valuable and wonderful communication tool undoubtedly enriches our knowledge, but in turn if used incorrectly, it can be harmful.

Perhaps because of this, we need to be very intuitive and skilled when raising our children in this world.

We need to make them see that there are things that should always be present in every situation:

Both are values ​​of great power in a world where information is shared in seconds, where we can communicate with anyone on the planet.

If we respect each other, we will create a more hopeful future.

It is worth investing in good manners. We should not let them decay in this society where we no longer have to see each other face to face to be friends, where love can arise between two people who are in very different places in the world.

We encourage you to think about this topic more today.

Good manners on social media

In 2014, the well-known social network Facebook was committed to investing money, time and energy in promoting an aspect of life that, apparently, was about to disappear: good manners.

It can seem strange and even scary. Have we really forgotten what respect is?

In fact, it is not that we have forgotten what it is. It’s just that these online community scenarios contribute a lot to the distribution of behavior as dangerous as cyberbullying.

Oddly enough,  causing harm is sometimes easier than giving someone respect, attention or living with other people – behaviors that younger generations do not always put into practice.

To avoid or at least control this type of behavior, Facebook created a character named Mr. Nice.

Below we explain the role of Mr. Nice in the most powerful social network in the world, a role that The New York Times wrote an interesting article about.

Harassment on the internet, a growing problem

Facebook’s own leaders are aware that the phenomenon of harassment on online communities does nothing but increase.

A study by the Pew Research Internet’s Project  found, for example, that nearly 65 percent of young Americans ages 18-29 have been harassed on Facebook.

• All this forced this social network to create
• For example, the ability to control who tags us in an image and that we are able to first check whether the material we think we were looking for before we approve it or not was designed.
• Mr. Nice has a system for deciding what kind of photos can be published or not on the social site. Furthermore, offensive material is censored. Likewise, profiles of users who abuse social networks to promote violence have been deleted.
• One aspect that all these people working under the name Mr. Nice have agreed upon is that users should share things with good intentions. The good should always prevail over the bad.

However, no one can measure the effect their actions can have on other people.

Therefore, you can not control everything.

However, the most famous social network in the world is aware that they have to fight for respect and good behavior on the site every day.

For a more respectful world, for a more dignified future

Creating a more dignified future for us and the new generations requires willpower, effort and commitment.

It is possible that the complex panorama of our current situation, with so many social problems and political crises, prevents us from being able to imagine a more hopeful, dignified world full of possibilities.

However, it is important to reflect on some aspects:

• Big changes are driven by willpower and respect for many people and by small businesses that make a big difference.
• Respect and good manners are values ​​that should never go out of style. They must be in all aspects of our daily lives. For example, they should appear in our workplaces, family life and online communities.
• There is another aspect that we can not forget: an act of goodness has much more influence than an act of hatred. Goodness inspires and is contagious.

It is worth sowing small seeds of goodness and hope in our daily lives, as these seeds will grow into plants that will bear the best fruit.
