decency

Decency refers to behaving or dressing in a way that's considered proper and respectful. It means being considerate of others' feelings.

When people talk about decency, they often mean treating others with kindness and respect. For example, if someone does something embarrassing on social media, their friends might say it wasn't very decent of them to share that online. Or, if a politician is accused of making an indecent comment, people might be upset because they think it's not respectful. In general, decency involves being thoughtful about how our actions affect others and trying to act in ways that are considered polite or acceptable by society.
