| book description |

A popular, ground-breaking book that sets out the vision and values to form the basis for a more caring and compassionate society. Since the landslide victory of New Labour and the death of Princess Diana, it has become fashionable to speak of compassion, tolerance, justice and community. People are looking for deeper values. But will anything really change? Our families, localities and government are all suffering from broken promises and lack of care. We know there is something wrong but we doubt it is possible to put things right. Lord Alton sets out the vision for a better society and shows how each person can play their part. 'A society which is individualized and where communities are fractured is living dangerously close to the edge. Each citizen must become a catalyst for change, the instrument of renewal. We are all responsible.' In Citizen Virtues David Alton looks at preserving the dignity of the individual, caring for the environment and applying ethical principles for a more just and compassionate society.
