We live in an era that is often characterized by indifference, rudeness, and indifference. It seems as if the only way to fix our disjointed and uncoordinated relationships is with more politeness. My guest, however, would argue that we need a revival in civility.
Alexandra Hudson, author of The Soul of Civility - Timeless Principles for Healing Society and Ourselves, explains today on the show the difference between politeness, civility and being impolite. We talk about how civility is important for the health of democracy and that good government depends on citizens being able to self-regulate and check one another, which can require a bit of impoliteness. . . Larry David. We discuss what Homer's Odyssey teaches us about hospitality, civility, and integrity.
