Why Good People Do Bad Things sheds new light on the ethical dilemmas of modern life. It shows how people of good will who are generally thoughtful, caring, and reasonably well-balanced can unwittingly contribute to the evils present in our social systerns.

In exposing these situations, this book also offers the hope that these same "good people" can take a fresh look at the world around them. In doing so, they can then see the potential of our world as well as its defects, and determine to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

This eminently readable work will benefit all interested in achieving a lifestyle of integrated social justice. Discussion questions make this book ideal for college courses on peace and justice issues, as well as for adult study groups.
