Respect and empathy: keys to improving communication in the digital environment


In a world where technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and communication has become almost instantaneous, it is alarming to observe how good manners seem to have been diluted in the vast digital ocean.

The immediacy of online interactions, from text messages to social media posts, has created an environment in which courtesy is often overlooked or considered unnecessary. However, it is crucial to remember that kindness and respect are more necessary than ever in our everyday interactions.

The anonymity provided by technology has led to an increase in aggressive and derogatory behaviors, where hurtful comments and destructive criticism become normalized. This new form of communication, lacking empathy, can affect the mental health of those who receive it and create even deeper divisions between people. It is essential that we reflect on the impact our words can have on others and the importance of promoting an environment of respect.

Politeness is not a mere vestige of the past, but a vital element for peaceful coexistence. Promoting good manners in our digital interactions can be as simple as practicing empathy, taking a moment to think before writing, and remembering that there is a person behind every screen. Every small gesture, from a thank you to a sincere apology, can contribute to creating a more positive and friendly environment in the public sphere.

Furthermore, recovering good manners in the digital age is not only the responsibility of individuals; It must also be a goal shared by technology platforms and companies. They must implement policies that promote civility by offering tools so users can better manage their interactions. Promoting campaigns that celebrate kindness and respect online could be a first step toward building a healthier online community.

Courtesy must be revitalized and reintroduced into our daily communication, both in the personal and virtual spheres. We cannot allow the speed of technology to make us forget the importance of treating others with respect and consideration. It is time to make a call to action, to recover those good manners that are essential for a civilized and harmonious society.

Kindness, after all, is a choice we can all make, and its positive repercussions can transform our interactions and communities. (Maykel Torres La Rosa/Radio Cadena Agramonte) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
