The Rise of Victimhood Culture<\/em><\/a> by Bradley Campbell & Jason Manning
\nThis book offers a framework for understanding recent moral conflicts at U.S. universities, which have bled into society at large. They are clashes between a new moral culture\u2014victimhood culture\u2014and a more traditional culture of dignity. As students increasingly demand trigger warnings and \u201csafe spaces,\u201d many young people are quick to police the words and deeds of others.<\/p>\n

\u201cFantastic overview of the changes to moral culture on college campuses. Campbell and Manning advance the fascinating and provocative thesis that the tantrum behavior we’re seeing on today’s college campuses reflects transition from a dignity culture to a self-obsessed victimhood culture.\u201d \u2013 Consumer #142, Amazon.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
