Etiquette in the Era of Coronavirus--S2.E8

Ethics and Etiquette ·

2020/03/11

The Coronavirus brings stricter social etiquette rules which boil down to “Keep Your Hands to Yourself.” Before, you might shake hands or hug and kiss to greet someone. These days, and for the near future, experts suggest you swap traditional greetings with elbow bumps, fist bumps, waves, or namaste bows. NBA players are urged not to high five fans. At Catholic Mass, churchgoers skip the traditional sign of peace handshake and forego wine from a common cup. Starbucks no longer allows customers to

Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers?--S1.E15

Ethics and Etiquette ·

2019/12/19

The old rhyme goes, "finders keepers, losers weepers," so does that mean anything we find on the street is ours to keep? Is there a moral or legal imperative to try and locate the owner of a wallet you discovered in the airport waiting area? Or imagine this: landscapers in your yard dig up a safe filled with $50, 000 worth of cash and jewelry (true story). It's on your property--does it belong to you?

Path to Redemption--S1.E14

Ethics and Etiquette ·

2019/12/12

In this discussion, we talk about redemption (in the secular sense). What do we really believe about redemption after misdeeds? We all love a good redemption story, but what is the path to get there? How long does it take and what does it entail? How do we know when someone has walked it? We use three real-life scenarios for this tough conversation: Friends disagree on reconciling with a man after he serves a ten-year prison term for killing his wife; Retired NFL player Michael Vick's involvement

It's the Thanksgiving season, so we devote an episode to--what else?--thank-you notes. In this ultra-modern electronic age, are handwritten thank-you notes a quaint relic of a bygone era? We discuss ten occasions where they're still appropriate and give you some pointers on how to write one. In the email department, a listener asks about acceptable behavior at a rock concert.

Politics, Property, and Parties: Awkward Etiquette...

Ethics and Etiquette ·

2019/11/12

In this show devoted to the "etiquette" side of our subject matter, a listener asks, "With etiquette in mind, how do we best have respectful, positive political discussions?" We also take on three more tricky tangles. What should you do if you don't get invited to a good friend's annual New Year's Day party when you always got an invitation in the past? Secondly, should someone tear out a hedgerow on his property if it will change the quality of the next-door-neighbor's yard? The last dilemma

Since it refers to a sad event in American history, are we being insensitive if we use it in an off-hand way? Also, suggestions for what to do if conversations take a racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive turn.
