Drivers, students, stay-at-home parents, working people - we all seem to be more stressed at the very least, angrier at best. Shop workers, nurses, bus drivers- they all report getting shouted at, spat at or hit every week. There's a lot of fear in the world today - wars, the growth in dictators, the growth in extremist politics, climate change. And from fear comes anger. Basic respect and 'being civil' to each other is diminished. What's at its root? Audrey Carville is discussing this with Justine McCarthy (journalist and columnist with the Irish Times), Paul Connolly (musician and educator) and Professor Stephen Reicher (who teaches social psychology at the University of St Andrews).
