All about us one sees the flourishing of a vigorous new illiteracy, widely distributed and attached to muscular incivility and crime. |
Complaints of incivility have since fallen by 19.4 per cent in the last quarter, while neglect of duty dropped 9.7 per cent. |
Last year, anxiety actually increased. It is not that the war on incivility has fallen flat, say those who led the campaigns in the cities. |
However, the principle of civility certainly does not require the state to enforce that value, by criminalising incivility. |
The danger associated with this incivility is marked in the change of behaviour. |
When politeness is all we have connecting us to others, incivility takes on an exaggerated significance. |
