Schwartz and political scientist Raymond Tatalovich bring their disciplinary insights to the study of moral issues. Beginning with prohibition, Schwartz and Tatalovich trace the phases of its evolution from emergence, establishment, decline and resurgence, to resolution. Prohibition's life history generates a series of hypotheses about how passage through each of the phases affected subsequent developments and how these were shaped by the political institutions and social character of the United States and Canada. Using the history of prohibition in North America as a point of reference, the authors move on to address the anticipated progression and possible resolution of six contemporary moral issues: abortion, capital punishment, gun control, marijuana, pornography, and same-sex relations. Schwartz and Tatalovich build a new theoretical approach by drawing on scholarship on agenda-setting, mass media, social movements, and social problems. The Rise and Fall of Moral Conflicts provides new insights into how moral conflicts develop and interact with their social and political environment."-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Canada $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Canada $x History $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Canada $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Canada $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Moral conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026043 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Tatalovich, Raymond, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74759040840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
