Dr. Rita Bornstein, Why be Civil - Conflict or compromise
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Dr. Rita Bornstein to the stage.
It's good to be with you, thank you for coming. This is a wonderful time to be taking about
civility with our country caught in this grip of incivility.
In my opinion, universities are the only American institutions with the intellectual values
and cultural traditions that can teach us how to disagree without being disagreeable.
I think of civility as having three dimensions: civil behavior, civil discourse and civil
decision making.
Civility means more than just being nice to everyone. You have a chance, a real chance,
to create a model of civility.
Thank you.
