Synopsis

Americans are clamoring about the growing incivility they see in public life and in their interpersonal relationships. Incivility--the lack of regard for others--is an increasing issue on college campuses, reflecting deep societal problems and expressing itself in sometimes unique ways. Kent Weeks explores this timely issue by presenting real-life experiences of four college freshmen at a large university and provides information to stimulate thoughtful discussion of civility dilemmas.
