These include the upsurge of religious fundamentalism, with more political power today than ever before; the failure of public education to create an informed citizenry; and the triumph of video over print culture. Sparing neither the right nor the left, Jacoby asserts that Americans today have embraced a universe of "junk thought" that makes almost no effort to separate fact from opinion. 651 0 $a United States $x Civilization $y 1945- 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1945- 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Reason $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Social values $z United States. 650 0 $a Social psychology $z United States. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American. 650 17 $a Populaire cultuur. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Sociale waarden. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Irrationalisme $2 gtt 650 17 $a Wetenschap. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Hoger onderwijs. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten. $2 gtt 941 $a 41 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621010909.0 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215012936.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119013100.0 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011606.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518012354.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118013204.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722020619.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201202011941.0 952 $l NDPD953 $d 20201013090449.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20201013021423.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528041700.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508014353.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044020.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181129010041.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006042858.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802015900.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720032419.0 952 $l DIPB173 $d 20180707021133.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523013750.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126025125.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609022502.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20170523015338.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202034430.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20150507012544.0 952 $l NGPB343 $d 20150402025027.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619015627.0 952 $l PBPC546 $d 20120906030658.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20111229011046.0 952 $l GIPC251 $d 20110114012519.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20100405095937.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090806113132.0 952 $l CNPC792 $d 20091028135134.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6368DBB42B1111DE9FAE8B08A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b IOEInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
