Download or read book Why Americans Hate the Media and How It Matters written by Jonathan M. Ladd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently as the early 1970s, the news media was one of the most respected institutions in the United States. Yet by the 1990s, this trust had all but evaporated. Why has confidence in the press declined so dramatically over the past 40 years? And has this change shaped the public's political behavior? This book examines waning public trust in the institutional news media within the context of the American political system and looks at how this lack of confidence has altered the ways people acquire political information and form electoral preferences. Jonathan Ladd argues that in the 1950s, '60s, and early '70s, competition in American party politics and the media industry reached historic lows. When competition later intensified in both of these realms, the public's distrust of the institutional media grew, leading the public to resist the mainstream press's information about policy outcomes and turn toward alternative partisan media outlets. As a result, public beliefs and voting behavior are now increasingly shaped by partisan predispositions. Ladd contends that it is not realistic or desirable to suppress party and media competition to the levels of the mid-twentieth century; rather, in the contemporary media environment, new ways to augment the public's knowledgeability and responsiveness must be explored. Drawing on historical evidence, experiments, and public opinion surveys, this book shows that in a world of endless news sources, citizens' trust in institutional media is more important than ever before.

Download or read book Reading for the Body written by Jay Watson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jay Watson argues that southern literary studies has been overidealized and dominated by intellectual history for too long. In Reading for the Body, he calls for the field to be rematerialized and grounded in an awareness of the human body as the site where ideas, including ideas about the U.S. South itself, ultimately happen. Employing theoretical approaches to the body developed by thinkers such as Karl Marx, Colette Guillaumin, Elaine Scarry, and Friedrich Kittler, Watson also draws on histories of bodily representation to mine a century of southern fiction for its insights into problems that have preoccupied the region and nation alike: slavery, Jim Crow, and white supremacy; the marginalization of women; the impact of modernization; the issue of cultural authority and leadership; and the legacy of the Vietnam War. He focuses on the specific bodily attributes of hand, voice, and blood and the deeply embodied experiences of pain, illness, pregnancy, and war to offer new readings of a distinguished group of literary artists who turned their attention to the South: Mark Twain, Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston, William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Katherine Anne Porter, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Walker Percy. In producing an intensely embodied U.S. literature these writers, Watson argues, were by turns extending and interrogating a centuries-old tradition in U.S. print culture, in which the recalcitrant materiality of the body serves as a trope for the regional alterity of the South. Reading for the Body makes a powerful case for the body as an important methodological resource for a new southern studies.
Download or read book Discipleship Therapy written by Albert H. Epp and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kansan visited the church of his ancestors in Sweden. On Sunday only ten of 800 members came to worship. The churches that gave Christianity to America are now writing our obituary--unless we avoid their pitfalls! Dr. Epp sees one hope: to "disciple" people within the church (Mt. 28:18f); that is, to train followers like Jesus did his Twelve. Chapter 1 details the crippled church. The next chapters clarify foundational aspects: salvation, "following" Christ & calculating cost. Chapters 5 to 11 accent the functional aspects of the church. Sharing the faith, shining our lights via deeds of kindness & tapping into prayer-power are themes that are underscored. The exercise of forgiveness is taught, as well as the need to relate to others in Christ-like compassion. Exciting examples punctuate each lesson. Epp, a Mennonite pastor & discipler, draws on 35 years of church experience & how he discipled 128 men at his own house. Chapter 11, The Healthy Church, asserts that churches dare not drift aimlessly. It cites Search Institute regarding the value of "family religiousness" & church educational skills. It insists that worship & Bible study are best augmented with a network of small groups where caring & accountability are experienced, where peers minister to each other. This calls for a biblical strategy. The final chapter invites all church members to consider adopting 10-year goals in areas like giving, sharing faith, praying, serving, forgiving & relating to others. A Guide for Discussion Leaders is included in the book. To order DISCIPLESHIP THERAPY, contact Stairway Discipleship, Box D, Henderson, NE 68371. 402-723-4851. Price: 12.95.
