Description
Is civility dead? Americans ask this question every election season, but their concern is hardly limited to political campaigns. Doubts about civility regularly arise in just about every aspect of American public life. Rudeness runs rampant in our news media and digital platforms, with aggressive bluster and vitriol dominating the airwaves. Surveys show that a significant majority of Americans believe we are living in an age of unusual anger and discord. Everywhere we look, there seems to be conflict and hostility, with shared respect and consideration nowhere to be found. In How Civility Works, Keith J. Bybee explores the crisis in civility, examining how it intertwines with our long history of boorish behavior and the ongoing quest for pleasant company. He argues that the very features that make civility ineffective and undesirable also point to its power and appeal.
