| Summary: | Polite and respectful behavior is vanishing from our world today. Bullying, hostile and polarizing political interactions, tasteless and tactless comments delivered without discretion, everyone talking at once but nobody listening we are treating one another badly in our day-to-day lives and our relationships are fragmenting and deteriorating as a result. This book goes beyond a superficial discussion of manners to present civility as a mind-set. Is bad behavior the new normal? Cyberbullying, hostile political infighting, and tactless behavior are on the rise. Hacala looks at what civility means and how it can change the nature of everyday interaction. |
