The crisis of civility is plaguing our own tolerant society.
Lack of harmony leads the society to instability, disunity, and conflict. And this conflict is the beginning of violence and continued violence can push the nation into destruction.On the other hand, social capital is created through society's civility. Social capital is different from financial capital and it is created when people from different walks of life work together. Social capital can eliminate the scarcity of financial capital of the country. Many social problems can be solved without money if 'social movement' and 'social resistance' are formed by uniting people. Hence, in economically poor countries, social harmony or civility is the big capital.
A society is usually inhabited by people of different religions, castes, tribes, nationalities, and languages. Such differences in society are the basis of pluralism. In order to maintain social harmony in a pluralistic society, we need to build mutual trust and dialogue between the political parties today. In many cases, powerful politicians and the ruling class have been seen exploiting identity differences between people for their own petty self-interest. Accordingly, the violence against different ideologies based on identities such as religion, caste, is often visible. And the present situation is in the worst throughout the world.
Therefore, in order to establish sustainable social harmony, today we need to establish a national consensus on many more issues, based on the peaceful transfer of power. Let's include it in the New Year's oath of 2022. What do you think?
