(S)ociety's first line of defense is not the law but customs, traditions and moral values. Customs, traditions and moral values are those important thou-shalt-nots such as: shalt not murder, shalt not steal, shalt not lie and cheat. They also include respect for parents, teachers and others in authority plus those courtesies one might read in Emily Post's rules of etiquette. The importance of customs, traditions and moral values as a means of regulating behavior is that people behave themselves even if nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws can never replace these restraints on personal conduct so as to produce a civilized society.

It takes growth and practice to be an effective speaker and an effective listener. ...the goal of listening is to find out what is going on underneath the surface, and the quest often yields new insights for the speaker as well as the listener. So, as the listener, make it your ambition to get as much information as you can in order to understand another's perspective.
