> but in these times of civil society breakdown… A few weeks ago, I would have generally agreed with this statement. But I have just driven across the US and visited a dozen or more different towns—-big and small—-along the way. Everywhere I’ve been, people have been kind, generous, well-behaved, mannerly and law-abiding. I now believe based on this experience that the sensationalism I am being fed in the media is negatively affecting my view of society. Perhaps your course or workshop could include some real-world experience with real people acting civilly and productively.
