The Virtue Of Getting Along by Brandon McGinley
The "social virtues" are important but by themselves they cannot create true fraternity, community, and solidarity if there are substantive differences in culture and identity. One may even have to be "not nice" and recognize that someone who lives nearby is not a person with whom one wants to associate, because they are working against the interests of you and yours. In many areas, social atomization has already taken place for 4 or more generations, and the social virtues won't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
