Welcome to
Benet Davetian's
The
CIVILITY
Institute
The Civility Institute has been founded in order to bring together academics and intellectuals
from all disciplinary backgrounds in a multi-faceted study of civility and
its complex and powerful role in human relations.
It is our hope that the knowledge emanating from this cooperative venture
will add to our theoretical and applied understanding of the social psychology
of intimate relations, identity and mutual recognition, international relations,
management methods and corporate governance, political participation and social ethics.
The Institute's work is, therefore, both theoretical and practical. We seek to not only
gain a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural understanding of civil and uncivil
interactions but to also provide solutions and consulting services to corporations,
governmental organizations, schools and families.

Benet Davetian's Article on Bullying:
Who Said We Can't Do Anything About Bullying?
The most urgent task facing contemporary civilizations
is the difficult task of reconciling our competitive spirit
with our need for communal and global civility.
The survival of our civilizations may depend on our finding
a workable solution to this dilemma....Benet Davetian
