Respect for the opinions and beliefs of others is not only a critical component of democracy but also of everyday life. Using easy-to-understand concepts such as the "golden rule," or treating others as one would want to be treated, this book shows students that respecting others and engaging in reciprocity, even when we disagree, is important and necessary. The ability to "disagree agreeably" is increasingly important in the current political and societal atmosphere. Introducing students to this concept early can make a real difference in how they interact with others now and later in life.
