American Cultural Shifts

History has shown us that great world powers don't fail because of lack of food, too much debt, a weak military, or absence of trade. What ultimately causes their collapse is the loss of the common identity that binds people together. Not since the Civil War has the absence of a common American identity been more pronounced. American Cultural Shifts is a clear and strident call for patriotic Americans at both ends of the political spectrum to consider the consequences of demonizing their political opponents. Dr. Alan Scarrow takes readers on a deep exploration into the complex social issues facing our country and fueling our divisive culture. Scarrow presents insightful and thoroughly researched discussions about inequality of power; racism; social media; religious beliefs; media bias; and distrust of science, government, and business; ultimately arriving at the conclusion that what is needed at this moment is a political reawakening that draws our attention to the commonalities that bind us together as a nation rather than the polarizing issues that tear us apart. Is a country with a profound diversity of race, religion, language, values and core beliefs capable of such change? Read American Cultural Shifts to stimulate your mind and reach your own conclusion.
