Concern and care for others’ feelings are virtues we seek to instill in our children, yet they are sorely lacking in many adult Americans today. There’s scientific research to back up the notion that Americans are caring less for others and more about themselves.

We’ll be exploring why empathy is declining and what we can do to create more kindness and caring in our communities.
