<br/><br/> "According to surveys taken in the U.S., fully eight out of 10 Americans consider incivility to be a serious problem, while 61 percent think it has worsened in recent years....It's a sad fate for a civilization based, in theory at least, on the presumption of social progress. After an intellectual enlightenment, a couple of world wars and a communications revolution, you'd think we'd make a few strides in the realm of daily human relations. But in the last couple of decades, all the available evidence suggests the opposite has taken place." (MACLEAN'S) The author examines the problem of incivility and the causes behind it, namely stress and anonymity in modern society.
