Being civil to each other generally means treating others with dignity, courtesy, respect, politeness, and consideration. However, according to national surveys, most Americans believe society is less civil than it was a decade ago. The topic of civility is not a national or regional issue; it is also a discussion worth having in Fountain Hills. Fountain Hills Cares is holding a special community event to share ideas and discuss this vital topic on Thursday, March 21, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. in the Community Center at 13001 N. La Montana Drive.
Experts on this topic include Evan Lowe, a Professor at ASU in the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, who has spoken frequently on this topic. Patrick O’Grady, Editor-in-Chief for Independent Newspapers, will provide an overview of the Civility Pledge and how the civility discussion is happening across the country.
