Johns Hopkins Civility Project makes peace person to person, then nation to nation

Piero Massimo Forni sees being considerate to one another as the foundation for everything from the environmental movement to women’s rights.

Pier Massimo Forni is a peacemaker, not between nations, rather on the fundamental level of individual personal relations. He’s not a therapist, psychiatrist, or such. He’s a master of the ameliorative skills that are as old as human society and, to him, more productive of social harmony than most people realize.

We’re talking about manners, courtesy, civility.

To live a long, healthy and serene life we need the crucial help of a network of caring people – we need social support. In order to gain and keep social support we need social skills. Choosing Civility re-discovers and expounds the essential skills that allow us to live well among others.
