Title: Who Is My Neighbor?
Description: "In a world which often is labeled a "global village," who exactly is our neighbor? Who is My Neighbor? explores the emergence of what is called "social affinity," a concept bridging classical notions of social cohesion with contemporary social psychology. The ideas underlying social affinity focus on the sentiment of moral obligation which holds society together."--BOOK JACKET.

"In order to understand how a sense of social affinity emerges within individuals, the author breaks down the concept into three dimensions - social consciousness, sentiment, and action - and their constitutive elements. These dimensions are then brought together in a single model demonstrating how social affinity and the meaning our values have for us are shaped by our social location and self-interest which permeates our culture."--BOOK JACKET.
