What’s the Matter w/ America? Analysis of Social Problems

What’s the Matter w/ America? Analysis of Social Problems

April 10th, 2017


America's social problems include homelessness

What is the matter with America? What social problems plague us? Jason brings a representative of the conservative political perspective to highlight the questions, and potential answers. What are the root causes of the issues and problems America faces? Is it selfishness? Media gone mad? Money in politics? Aggression and attachment to guns? A lack of personal responsibility any more? Racism? Cockiness? Political correctness? Money in politics? Moral dilapidation? Commercialism? Lack of a good relationship with God? Tune in to an interesting discussion on values and ethics!

To keep a bit of balance, Jason, no slouch when it comes to the progressive perspective on social problems and personal growth, invited an individual on the political Right to the interview: Robert Peters, President of the organization Morality in Media. A very engaging discussion for sure! Social problems were certainly looked at head-on. “I think true wisdom is greatly lacking in American society – my personal opinion. It’s definitely lacking in our Supreme Court at this moment in time,” Peters notes. Here is a website that I think is fair to alert you to about Peters’ group, Morality in Media. Note: Morality in Media changed its name to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Their website shows their focus: “Founded in 1962, National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCSE), formerly Morality in Media (MIM), is the leading national organization dedicated to opposing pornography by highlighting the links to sex trafficking, violence against women, child abuse, and addiction.” Jason was able to get Mr. Peters to pull the focus back a bit and talk about the scope of problems America faces from a broad perspective (e.g., also politics and economics).
