This chapter emphasizes the importance of community and communication in restoring civility. It explores the need for people to come together, engage in conversations, and make eye contact to foster a sense of community, contrasting it with the impoverished nature of constant smartphone communication.
In a divided society, idealists believe we can overcome our differences.
Alexandra Hudson is one of those idealists. Disillusioned by the backstabbing she witnessed in federal government, she began to research how we can repair the divisions keeping us apart.
We discuss what being civil means in a dog-eat-dog culture and why building a more connected community can start on the front porch.
This...is A Bit of Optimism.
