本篇指的是，一些人提倡礼仪，但是真的非礼仪的人出现时候，我们以什么姿态回应呢？

其实整篇文章整体理解尚待争议。Jingyi 的观点是，文章引入美国 1960 年关于反战游行的事件，这些属于 civility 吗？

文章出现人物 Theodore Hesburgh ，说到这个人在校园有一定的名气，自己的一些话在自己未知情况下被学生（可能也包含社会其它人士）肆意传播之后，Hesburgh 写了一封信件也阐述该问题。

文章最后一句话：

But at a moment when people thirst for a university president who will back up his words, Mr. Salovery, like so many others, apologizes. “We have failed you.” he told protestors. Indeed they have failed. Just not in the way they imagine.

似乎在说着针对 out of civility 用道歉的姿态，算是胜利了吗？

这让我想到自己遇到的事情，明明知道身边很多人的做法是不合适的，“姑息”是正确的吗？

如果我暂时想不出 理由的话，就先 Stay Away。注意，是暂时 —— 好像还是姑息。因此这类问题，就直接忽略，看每天绩效产出。

01 Theodore Hesburgh 到底是谁呢？

President of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987.



When Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., was asked one June morning in 1964 – the same day three civil rights workers were murdered in Mississippi – to attend a civil rights rally with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a few hours later in Chicago, his answer was simply, “Where do you need me?”

The result was an iconic picture of black and white leaders locked arm and arm, singing “We Shall Overcome.”

Fr. Hesburgh, who died in February 2015 at age 97, was president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, and one of the nation’s most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs.
