UT Student

Civility means...

Civility means treat others the way you want to be treated and never judge another person. Always assume that you do not truly know this person and must therefore treat them with kindness because you never know what is really in their brain or what problems they may have faced or face in life. Never ask about things like weight, race, color, sexual orientation, etc. etc. Wait for the person to tell you about themselves if they want to, don't be nosy or rude. And never judge a person for anything outside of their control, in fact, just don't judge and generally mind your own business.
