Changes in American Morality

Changes In American Morality: Of The People; By The People; For The Self, Contends That America Has Lost Touch With The Fundamental Ethics Of Its Founding Principles. This, Coupled With The Deleterious Effects Of Individualism; Liberalism; Materialism, And Relegating Religion To The Fringes Of The Public Forum, Has Undermined Americas Achievement Of A Truly Common Good. The Result Is A Serious Deterioration Of Our Former Collectively Conceived Moral Compass In Favor Of A More Personally Composed Moral Code. This Code Often Blurs The Boundaries Between Right And Wrong As The Attainment Of An Unbridled Self-Satisfaction Takes Precedence Above All Else. Therefore, America Has Become A Nation Of Competing Individuals, Each Seeking To Extract Ever-Increasing Levels Of Personal Pleasure And Fulfillment From Every Possible Source, Often At The Expense Of Our Collective Civil And Social Associations; Our Local Communitieseven Our Families. With The Works Of The Founders And Many Of Americas Recent And Modern Social Thinkers As References, Mr. Farello Achieves A Thorough Examination And Explanation Of The Evolution Of Many Of Americas Current Social Ills, And Arrives At A Number Of Solid Solutions To Those Problems. This Book Is Must Reading For Anyone Concerned With American Societys Current Direction.
