Doing Civility: Breaking the Cycle of Incivility on the Campus,
explores ways in which members of the college community can take
proactive steps to break the cycle of incivility. Civility requires
extending mutual respect to others, especially people with different
values, beliefs, and ideas. It also involves a civic responsibility to
strengthen the community.
Doing Civility dives into how civility can be applied in practical
ways using real-life student stories.
Doing Civility is a companion book to In Search of Civility.
Together, the two books provide sharp analysis for understanding
civility on campus and in the workplace. Doing Civility incorporates
interactive tools and exercises at the end of each chapter designed to
help readers apply the concepts covered in the chapter. The tools and
exercises are perfect for self-reflection or small group discussions.
Americans are trouble by the growing incivility they see in public life
and in their interpersonal relationships. The modern college and
university may offer the best and most effective forum for providing an
education in civility for our future leaders. It's time to do civility.
