Описание: Is violence on the streets caused by violence in video games? Does cyber-bullying lead to an increase in suicide rates? Are teens promiscuous because of Teen Mom ? As Karen Sternheimer clearly demonstrates, popular culture is an easy scapegoat for many of society`s problems, but it is almost always the wrong answer.Now in its second edition, Connecting Social Problems and Popular Culture goes beyond the news-grabbing headlines claiming that popular culture is public enemy number one to consider what really causes the social problems we are most concerned about. The sobering fact is that a media made them do it explanation fails to illuminate the roots of social problems like poverty, violence, and environmental degradation. Sternheimer`s analysis deftly illustrates how welfare reform, a two-tiered health care system, and other difficult systemic issues have far more to do with our contemporary social problems than Grand Theft Auto or Facebook. The fully-revised new edition features recent moral panics- think sexting and cyberbullying- and an entirely new chapter exploring social media. Expanded discussion of how we understand society`s problems as social constructions without disregarding empirical evidence, as well as the cultural and structural issues underlying those ills, allows students to stretch their sociological imaginations.
