Before you get too far into your review of the electronic social networking literature, keep these questions in mind:

• Is pervasive interpersonal conflict and invective on the rise or has it long been true that people do not get along with one another? If interpersonal conflict is on the rise, why? [This may prove a very helpful resource.]
• Is protracted interpersonal conflict endemic to vast swaths of the United States or is it more pronounced in certain regions? If more pronounced in certain regions, why?
