Do you live in a Community? Not where your body resides, but where your mind connects? What's a community? It's more than your friendly neighborhood or favorite Chat Room. The word "Community" may sound archaic, a social remnant of the idyllic 1950s.

Whatever Happened to Ethics and Civility? (show 110), first airs July 2000.
Can you remain Ethical, when a devious competitor steals your business? Can you stay Civil, when a cursing driver cuts you off the road? Blame the speed, intensity, and ferocity of modern society. Do you feel the competition of contemporary life? It's all around you all your life. From struggling at school for grades and college admissions to jousting at work for promotions and money, you can't escape the fever of competition. How, in such a pressure-cooker environment, can we expect high moral values and courteous, polite behavior to survive? Yet, society is much impoverished without ethics and civility. What can be done?
