How Much Have Public Attitudes Really Shifted?

Abstract: A 14 page paper evaluating the mechanisms underlying shifting public attitudes toward sexuality, globalization, drug and alcohol use, and marriage. Too often, we allow our attitudes to be shaped by movies, news items and bored celebrities who have too little of consequence to do with their time and are too shallow to seek out worthy pursuits from which we could all benefit. Hollywood and journalists often exploit marginal aspects of society, making aberrations appear more common than they truly are. The visibility, however, works to diminish the shock value of the real-life occurrences and contributes to their becoming more common. Bibliography lists approximately 10 sources.
