The Open Covenant examines two opposing trends in contemporary American culture: an adherence to traditional, rigid structures, institutions, and lifestyles; and a move toward a more flexible, tolerant society in which individuals and organizations work together on shared needs, interests, and goals. This volume presents a unique discussion of the distinctive new pattern in today's society--the increasing willingness of Americans to extend themselves beyond narrowly defined self-interests into more controversial and universal issues.Doob, Christopher Bates is the author of 'Open Covenant Social Change in Contemporary Society' with ISBN 9780275925505 and ISBN 0275925501.
