How did we come to confuse rudeness with self-expression and acting on our "rights"? Carter looks at these and other important questions with a combination of his personal experiences and an extremely long shelf of reading material, all the while maintaining an informal writing style that continually--but politely--engages the reader, inviting him or her to think about these issues along with Carter. <p> There are important messages here about generosity and trust, about respecting diversity and dissent, and about resolving conflict through dialogue rather than mandate. Stephen Carter would never be so uncivil as to demand your attention, but <I>Civility</I> most definitely compels. 2088563 1998 Civility total:33|5:8|4:11|3:8|2:5|1:1| 33 119 56 5 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Jul 25 21:55:37 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 21:55:49 -0700 2009 urgent need for civility from an
