Book excerpt: Many of us feel that America has lost its way and suffers from a variety of illnesses, social and economic inequality, failure of our justice system and other institutions, and attacks on our democracy from both home and abroad. Our ability to meet these challenges - once our greatest strength - has eroded. Individually and collectively, we are paralyzed by partisan politics and unable to reach compromises and take any action whatsoever on national and global issues. Both our allies and adversaries see this, the former having lost faith in our ability to lead, and the latter no longer fearing confrontation with us. When we look at our shortcomings, if there is one common root cause that we all see, it is in education. In Mr. Hollander's previous book Step Forward America!, he made a case for a universal national service program that would get everyone involved in meeting our challenges. Now in Bachelors of Citizenship, he addresses and expands upon the importance of education, specifically certain "lessons in living" that he identifies, in enlightening us and leading us down a path to becoming better citizens more able to meet our challenges.
