The main motivation for the relationship between people to be on the right ground is courtesy. Because the quality of being human requires being able to communicate by speaking. Mutual courtesy is absolutely necessary in order to provide a speaking environment. Adjusting the volume and tone to touch the heart of the person in front of it is the greatest power of communication.
 
The subject we are talking about is for communication established on the right ground. On the other hand, some people may think that they communicate by raising their voice, hardening their tone and accents, and using the charm of the word. But this is not actually a communication, but a state of being exposed to the monologue or willing to be exposed.
 
As we know, an election is on our doorstep in the next April or May. It is certain that the heat of politics will rise with the approach of the election calendar. It is very important for the future of our country that the language of politeness prevails in politics at such a time.
 
After all, people need each other to live on these lands, even if they have different political preferences. We see that the courtesy of people who share the same apartment, the same neighborhood, the same workplace beautifies the places they live and work in. It is essential for the health of the country's politics to show the same courtesy to those involved in political competition.
 
In countries where management is determined by elections, the key concept is persuasion. Politicians develop their rhetoric to persuade their interlocutors. But unfortunately, those who cannot develop their discourse on the basis of their political ideals resort to an accusatory and accusatory language against their opponents. Thus, they aim to be one step ahead in the political race.
 
The first feature that this type of discourse will destroy in communication is courtesy. Of course, it is not possible for kindness to take shelter where there is a provocative, rude and hostile language of quarrel.
 
Especially the past election experiences we have had recently show us the severity of the destructive language used. Those who think that they are making political propaganda by provoking people's feelings in the election atmosphere may have succeeded in getting some more votes. But the people of the country need to know that they are destroying their trust and goodwill towards each other. When we look at it, we see that the negative language and discourses that have been used so far have separated the people of this geography from each other both in heart, in mind and in practical life experience.
 
The cooling of hearts and the alienation of minds from each other should not be regarded as merely a separation of different lifestyles. People are starting to see each other as the center of distrust, just as they lose their trust in each other. This is where the real danger should be sought.
 
Because now we are faced with a problem beyond the fact that different opinions do not listen or hear each other. It is the perception of the existence of people with different thoughts as a danger. It is an inevitable end that segregation will reach this level and bring with it intolerance, prohibition, oppression and persecution.
 
It is necessary to realize what kind of disaster this end has led our country to, and for this reason, the importance of the language of politeness in politics should be better understood.
 
While the stop of kindness in politics is love, respect and understanding, the stop of rudeness in politics is hatred and intolerance.
 
If we want to spend this election process in peace and tranquility, the most important task that needs to be done is to increase kindness and abandon rudeness.
