Human decency refers to the fundamental personal qualities of kindness, honesty, good manners, and respect for others, particularly in treating everyone with dignity and empathy regardless of their background. It encompasses actions like listening, offering help, respecting personal space and choices, and behaving with integrity to foster positive relationships and a humane society. 

Key Aspects of Human Decency
Respect and Empathy: Recognizing that all people deserve dignity and treating them with understanding and compassion. 
Honesty and Integrity: A strong sense of right and wrong, combined with truthful and upright behavior. 
Kindness and Politeness: Performing acts of kindness, such as holding a door for someone or offering a listening ear, and being generally courteous. 
Respect for Boundaries: Honoring the personal space, privacy, and choices of others. 
Fairness: Upholding principles of justice and treating people impartially. 

Examples of Human Decency 
Holding the door open: for someone carrying bags.
Respecting someone's opinion, even if it differs from your own.
Offering a listening ear: to a friend in need.
Saying "please" and "thank you": as a basic demonstration of politeness.
Being a good listener: without interruption or judgment.

Why It Matters
Builds positive relationships: Simple acts of decency create trust and improve interactions between people. 
Fosters a compassionate society: When people act with decency, it contributes to a more humane and supportive environment for everyone.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
