Okay I'm loving the thread about positive customs that are more rare now. And an answer in there got me thinking about positive customs that are being practiced currently that are newer to us.
What are some positive newer customs that you're glad of in society? What I like might be different than what others may like, and visa versa, but we can see different things as positive.
A newer custom that I think is positive is asking before we touch each other's bodies, like making sure someone is okay with hugs or arm-pats before touching them. I'm not particular about hugs or handshakes, but people randomly walking up to me and patting me on my arm or shoulder feels like "no thank you icky" to me and I've had to quietly put up with it a lot over the course of my life so I'm thankful things are starting to change with that.
