The Civil Society Playbook

A Common Sense Plan for a Return to Civility

Where did society go wrong? And what can we do to make it right?

One of our nation's greatest threats is the decline of basic civility. People of all ages and backgrounds can observe a growing coarseness and vulgarity in society, including an obsessive focus on the self in social media, a disrespect for boundaries and property, growing intolerance toward ideas, attacks on persons of other faiths and ethnicities, and an increasing disrespect for family members and older people.

The Civil Society Playbook by Michael Benedict covers the underreported sources of societal incivility and introduces daily actions (a Playbook) that anyone of any age can take to make our homes, schools, and workplaces more civil. Let's make the world we want to live in - one action at a time.
