Most contemporary analyses of violence focus on economic,
social, and political inequalities as well as on a general malaise.
In contrast, Gotz claims that violence arises, in part, from a loss
of respect for others concomitant with a decline of manners and
courtesy. Manners are expressions of respect. Eliminate manners and
respect vanishes with them.
The connection between the decline of manners and the increase
of violence is documented by reference to a variety of social
instances and trends. A special weight is placed upon the failure
of schools to instill respect and courtesy in their charges. The
schools' failure can be redeemed through a concerted effort to
instill manners. A major part of the book, therefore, is devoted to
the justification of schooling as an important factor in the
re-awakening of respect for others. A provocative analysis for
scholars and researchers involved with contemporary social and
educational problems.
