The citizenship pocket manual

Just outstanding!
Words fail me to describe the quality of such a great report issued by the Brazilian Veja Magazine on its issue # 2137.
Under the title of "Pequeno Manual de Civilidade", the report describes the little advantages of some underestimated virtues, along with analysis from famous sociological cientists.
I would like to recommend its reading to everyone, so all of us can get excellent explanations about important concepts such as honor, integrity, politeness, tolerance, self-control, honesty, among others, all of them so important for the making of a good citizen.
Don't miss it!
