Civic virtue

Civic virtue is morality or a standard of righteous behavior in relationship to a

citizen's involvement in society
In Aristotle's discussion of virtue, he recommends that humans take pleasure in
virtue. Virtue, both civic and moral, is the way in which humans achieve their
greatest happiness.
Impotencies

 Civic virtue helps people understand their ties to the community and their
responsibilities within it. In many ways, an educated citizen who possesses
civic virtue is a public good.
 Civic virtue both expresses and builds trust and cooperation in the citizenry, and
it is these qualities-"social capital,"-that make everything else go well.
Definition of Civic Virtues
Tolerant.
Means that you accept other people's opinions and preferences, even when they
live in a way that you do not agree with. Tolerance also means that you do not put
your opinions above those of others, even when you are sure that you are right.

Unity in diversity

The best way to maintain diversity and unity would be to not to mix everything up
into one society, but allowing societies to organize themselves based on their
cultures. This preserves diversity between different people, as many different
beliefs would thrive in their respective societies instead of becoming one grey goo,
and avoid inside conflicts in a multicultural society that we so much see nowadays

Respect differences. (onefamily.ie)

Everyone is different, and it is important to be sensitive to that fact

10. Ways to respect the differences between yourself and others

1. Be courteous and friendly to others. You can help your child respect others by
the way you greet people, talk with them, and talk about them afterwards. Children
learn from our example.

2. Make a family book about similarities and differences: You and your child
could work together to make a book about the people in your family.

3. Value difference. Arrange a small get-together with one or two families. Each
could make a snack that may be different or new to the others, possibly an ethnic
food or one that is special in other ways for their family.

4. Meet new friends. You may want to tell your child about a time when you met
someone who seemed different at first but as you got to know the person, you
came to appreciate him or her.

5. Use empathy: Can your child remember coming into a group and feeling ignored
or left out? Talking about your child’s feelings can help your child develop
empathy and begin to see things from another person’s point of view.

6. We believe that we are all special people.

7. Treat others kindly even if they are different.

8. We show we are listening by what we say.

9. We are concerned about each other’s feelings.

10. Use books, the internet and society to introduce your child to difference and in
particular, all types of families and how they are all unique and special – just like
ours.

Fairness

Is the quality of making judgments that are free from discrimination. Judges
umpires, and teachers should all strive to practice fairness. Fairness comes from
the Old English fogger, meaning "pleasing, attractive." This makes sense given
that the word is also used to describe physical beauty.

 Without tolerance and harmony the lasting peace of societies cannot be maintained, and
loyalty for each other cannot be established.
 Loyalty is borne from feelings of love and affection. At a personal level the feelings of
love strengthens the feelings of loyalty. When a citizen loves his country, he exhibits
loyalty and devotion and makes sacrifices for the sake of the nation.
 If sentiments of love do not exist, then the spirit of sacrifice cannot be formed. Unless a
person loves another he can never have good feelings in his heart towards him, and he
cannot faithfully fulfil the rights due to that person.
 Lack of tolerance leads to fighting, violence, and finally it destroys the peace and security
of society. When people fail in their arguments they become intolerant, and then they use
force and aggression to support their point of view.
 We have seen considerable incidents in recent history where, because of lack of
tolerance, people have attacked people of other faiths, their places of worship, their
communities. How nice it would be if everyone tries to express himself in a decent and
respectful way with tolerance.
 The world is full of diversity, and that is the beauty of our universe. If there had not been
any diversity, the world would appear boring and unattractive, and without any
competition.
 The worldwide celebration of the International Day for Tolerance was an annual
observance declared by Unesco in 1995 to generate public awareness of the dangers of
intolerance, and to help people understand the importance of tolerance.
 The annual celebration of this day reminds us how important and crucial these values are.
And it does not mean that we only observe tolerance on this day, but this day is just a
reminder, so we carry on these values throughout the year.
 The word tolerance means the willingness to accept or to tolerate, especially opinions or
behaviour you may not agree with, or to behave sensibly with those who are not like you.
It means showing respect for the race, gender, opinions, religion and ideologies of other
people or groups, and to admire the good qualities and good work of others. And to
express one’s point of view in a decent and respectful way while respecting the
sentiments of others.
 Tolerance can be shown in many ways, on different occasions and at different times. A
person might fully disagree with others on any issue, from religion to politics, while at
the same time honouring and respecting those with different ideas and opinions and
treating them with full dignity and honour.
 Tolerance is needed in all spheres of life, and on every level and on every stage, because
it plays a vital role to establish peace and love, from the smallest unit up to the highest
unit of society.
 Tolerance does not mean that only one person or party shows tolerance and the others do
not. When some people disagree on a certain issue they must advocate and express their
opinion in a respectful manner, and hateful and provocative words should not be used.
Tolerance must be shown from both sides on issues, in order for it to be effective.
 Here, let it be clear that showing respect and tolerance to the opinions of others does not
necessarily mean you have to compromise your principles or embrace or accept others’
ideas. It is simply a matter of fundamental human rights.
 The right of every human being that his sensibilities and sentiments shall not be violated
and offended must be recognised. And every human person has the right to have an
opinion and to express it.
