Many private groups have rules on good and bad behavior. There's simply nothing new about it.
- skookumchuck 9y agoI never heard of any before about 20 years ago when speech codes started appearing on campuses. I've been going to conferences for 40 years, and the first time I had to sign a CoC for one was last year. It was simply if you behaved badly, you were asked to leave. Nobody needed a definition of rude behavior.
- Slansitartop 9y agoThat's an interesting observation: a shift towards using a law-code paradigm for regulating personal social behavior, from an informal consensus-based one. I suspect that has something to do with the fact that law codes are legislated by a select body, which is more susceptible to influence than an informal consensus.
