The End of Nice: Etiquette, Civility, And Survival In A Digital Age($12.99Value)

Description

The End of Nice: Etiquette, Civility, and Survival in a Digital Age examines how the digital revolution is transforming not just our online personas, but our real-world choices and behaviors. From young people showing up to job interviews in casual clothes to addressing teachers and elders by their first names, long-held standards of respect and decorum are rapidly shifting. What older generations see as discourtesy or disregard, younger people view as normal—or even progressive. While technology has brought us closer in some ways, it may be unraveling the fabric of kindness, respect, and compassion that once shaped both public and private life. Are we letting go of important values, or simply evolving with the times? And is it possible to retain what’s good about this age without losing the core of what it means to relate with true civility? Through honest questions and real-world examples, this book invites readers of every generation to reflect on the changing meaning of “nice”—and to discover how we might restore respect, empathy, and deeper connection wherever we are.The End of Nice: Etiquette, Civility, and Survival in a Digital Age examines how the digital revolution is transforming not just our online personas, but our real-world choices and behaviors.
