Recenzje

We live in an age of moral outrage--every day billions plug into social media to learn about, or share, the latest source of outrage. While moral language can inspire social change, it can also fracture society, fuel conflict, and foster harassment. This highly accessible and timely book by Tosi & Warmke explains why moral grandstanding can be contagious as well as corrosive to our discourse. This excellent book is a must read for anyone interested in civil discourse, moral cognition, or social media.
