Mutual Respect, Civility, Civil Discourse, Group Work/Personality Clashes

Mere Civility by Teresa M. Bejan
ISBN: 9780674972728

Publication Date: 2017-01-02

A New Statesman Best Book of the Year A Church Times Book of the Year We are facing a crisis of civility, a war of words polluting our public sphere. In liberal democracies committed to tolerating active, often heated disagreement, the loss of this virtue appears critical. Most modern appeals to civility follow arguments by Hobbes or Locke by proposing to suppress disagreement or exclude views we deem "uncivil" for the sake of social harmony. By comparison, mere civility--a grudging conformity to norms of respectful behavior--as defended by Rhode Island's founder, Roger Williams, might seem minimal and unappealing. Yet Teresa Bejan argues that Williams's outlook offers a promising path forward in confronting our own crisis, one that challenges our fundamental assumptions about what a tolerant--and civil--society should look like. "Penetrating and sophisticated." --James Ryerson, New York Times Book Review "Would that more of us might learn to look into the past with such gravity and humility. We might end up with a more (or mere) civil society, yet." --Los Angeles Review of Books "A deeply admirable book: original, persuasive, witty, and eloquent." --Jacob T. Levy, Review of Politics "A terrific book--learned, vigorous, and challenging." --Alison McQueen, Stanford University
Doing Honest Work in College, Third Edition by Charles Lipson
ISBN: 9780226430744

Publication Date: 2019-01-11

Doing Honest Work in College stands on three principles: do the work you say you do, give others credit, and present your research fairly. These are straightforward concepts, but the abundance of questionable online sources and temptation of a quick copy-paste can cause confusion as to what's considered citing and what's considered cheating. This guide starts out by clearly defining plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty and then gives students the tools they need to avoid those pitfalls. This edition addresses the acceptable use of mobile devices on tests, the proper approach to sources such as podcasts or social media posts, and the limitations of citation management software.
The Honest Truth about Dishonesty by Dan Ariely
ISBN: 9780062183590

Publication Date: 2012-06-05

Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and the New York Times bestselling author of The Upside of Irrationality and Predictably Irrational, examines the contradictory forces that drive us to cheat and keep us honest, in this groundbreaking look at the way we behave: The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty. From ticket-fixing in our police departments to test-score scandals in our schools, from our elected leaders' extra-marital affairs to the Ponzi schemes undermining our economy, cheating and dishonesty are ubiquitous parts of our national news cycle--and inescapable parts of the human condition. Drawing on original experiments and research, in the vein of Freakonomics, The Tipping Point, and Survival of the Sickest, Ariely reveals--honestly--what motivates these irrational, but entirely human, behaviors.
