Abstract

This Topic Talk will focus upon the role of the media as it relates to civility. All around the world, we are seeing an increase in incivility. Some examples are bullying, harassment, discrimination, and profanity. These acts of incivility often take place via social media. Politicians, celebrities, journalists and community leaders in recent years have lashed out at one another on Twitter. Their insensitive comments are then further broadcasted via other media outlets. Speakers will highlight the problem of incivility and then suggest solutions for dealing with the dilemma.
