Summary
Civility is vanishing—and it’s quietly unraveling the fabric of society. From littering and road rage to plummeting trust in neighbors, we’re witnessing a disturbing erosion of basic social decency. Decades of research show that as face-to-face connections fade, so does our belief in one another—once a near-universal American norm, now crumbling across continents. This isolation fuels division, making people more vulnerable to inflammatory politics and toxic public behavior. Australia’s latest polls confirm it: interpersonal trust is at its lowest in years. When leaders abandon respectful discourse, ordinary folks follow suit—leaving communities colder, lonelier, and less safe for everyone.
