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.

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.
