Well, Choosing Civility is not (forgiving the mixed metaphor) your Emily Post’s sort of Oldsmobile. Rather, it is, but it’s the muscular 442 or the sleek and fast Cutlass Supreme, not the big-ol’-heap-o’-iron Delta 88. Forni points out the ethical component of civility, making ...
From the very first day of law school, students are taught that every legal action can be placed into one of two distinct categories: civil cases and criminal cases. This distinction implicates everything from the substantive rights of the parties, to the rules of procedure, to which courts ...
Democracy is not a decorative ornament, but an instrument for addressing the issues that concern the people. Whether a country is democratic depends on whether its people are truly the masters of the country; whether the people have the right to vote, and more importantly, the right to partici...
it's just no fun playing games without rules, and with no 'please' or 'thank you' to engender civility. Worse, there's no one around to cook dinner or heaven forbid, mend a broken arm if you fell out of a tree. It doesn't take long, fifteen minutes as it turns out, to convinc...

Bodies Bodies Bodiesdeliciously skewers the illusion of civility. Dutch actress and filmmaker, Halina Reijn (Valkyrie, Instinct), nails the descent into blame and backstabbing. The dam that held back the characters' deep dislike for each other bursts. Trust evaporates as motives are questioned. The...
McCarthy smartly accentuates this dynamic in his use of color. Cool tones like the blue-grey stone or Yana's shiny navy blouse present a world of seeming civility, entitlement, and order. But splashes of stark red blood or the bright yellow of the pup tent in which Dani once slept ...
s C.S. Lewis unplugged and such fun. I also recently read Marissa Meyer’sCinderand loved it. Right now I’ve gotRules of Civilityand next up isThe Rosie Project. Both have come highly recommended. And….just yesterday I re-readThe Witch of Blackbird Pond. Random, I know… but s...
It's the chaotic collision that happens when frankness overrides the facade of civility. So, a line as simple as "I have a futon" made me chuckle darkly. In context, it's hilarious because of the flatness of Rose's delivery, the reaction in Celie's tear-swelled eyes, and the logic ...
