Virgin nation : sexual purity and American adolescence / by Moslener, Sara.(CARDINAL)409530;
Machine generated contents note: -- Introduction: Sexual Purity and National Security -- 1) Sexual Purity and Civilization Work in the 19th Century -- 2) From Adolescence to Lost Innocence: Religious Revival and Sexual Deviance in the Cold War Era -- 3) Making Family Values -- 4) New Purity Revolution -- 5) Performing Sexual Purity in the Media Age -- Conclusion: Fear and Accommodation in the Contemporary Purity Culture -- Bibliography -- Notes -- Index."First taking hold of the American cultural imagination in the 1990s, the sexual purity movement of contemporary evangelicalism has since received considerable attention from a wide range of media outlets, religious leaders, and feminist critics. Virgin Nation offers a history of this movement that goes beyond the Religious Right, demonstrating a link between sexual purity rhetoric and fears of national decline that has shaped American ideas about morality since the nineteenth century. Concentrating on two of today's best known purity organizations, True Loves Waits and Silver Ring Thing, Sara Moslener's investigation reveals that purity work over the last two centuries has developed in concert with widespread fears of changing traditional gender roles and sexual norms, national decline, and global apocalypse. Moslener highlights a number of points in U.S. history when evangelical beliefs and values have seemed to provide viable explanations for and solutions to widespread cultural crises, resulting in the growth of their cultural and political influence. By asserting a causal relationship between sexual immorality, national decline, and apocalyptic anticipation, leaders have shaped a purity rhetoric that positions Protestant evangelicalism as the salvation of American civilization. From the purity reformers of the nineteenth century to fundamentalist leaders such as Billy Graham and Carl F.H. Henry, Moslener illuminates the evolution of a strain of purity rhetoric that runs throughout Protestant evangelicalism"--"Sara Moslener sheds light on the contemporary purity movement by examining how earlier movements established the rhetorical and moral frameworks utilized by two of today's leading purity organizations, True Loves Waits and Silver Ring Thing. Her investigation reveals that purity work over the last two centuries has developed in concert with widespread fears of changing traditional gender roles and sexual norms, national decline, and global apocalypse"--

Media consolidation / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,editor.(CARDINAL)415814;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Over the past decade, the number of companies that control American media has shrunken significantly. This has resulted in a number of broadcast news media, television channels, streaming sites, print media, social media sites, and search engines being owned by the same companies in a process known as media cross-ownership. Some argue that this process is an essential aspect of adapting to the changing media landscape and enabling media sources to survive, while others assert that media consolidation has a harmful impact on consumers and poses a threat to democracy. The expert viewpoints in this title will look at opposing perspectives on this issue to help students form their own opinions on the role media consolidation plays in today's society"--Grades 10-12
