Changes in American Morality of the People, by the People, for the Self

Changes in American Morality: Of the People; By the People; For the Self, contends that America has lost touch with the fundamental ethics of its founding principles. This, coupled with the deleterious effects of individualism; liberalism; materialism, and relegating religion to the fringes of the public forum, has undermined America's achievement of a truly common good. The result is a serious deterioration of our former collectively conceived moral compass in favor of a more personally composed moral code. This code often blurs the boundaries between 'right and wrong' as the attainment of an unbridled self-satisfaction takes precedence above all else. Therefore, America has become a nation of competing individuals, each seeking to extract ever-increasing levels of personal pleasure and fulfillment from every possible source, often at the expense of our collective civil and social associations; our local communities - even our families. With the works of the Founders and many of America's recent and modern social thinkers as references, Mr.Farello achieves a thorough examination and explanation of the evolution of many of America's current social ills, and arrives at a number of solid solutions to those problems. This book is must reading for anyone concerned with American society's current direction.Farello, Frank S. is the author of 'Changes in American Morality of the People, by the People, for the Self' with ISBN 9780595192137 and ISBN 0595192130.
