Media, Marriage, and Moral Dilemmas

This chapter analyzes the media's portrayal of Donald Trump's responses to criticism during a hurricane event, while also introducing a Cornell University study on declining marriage rates linked to economic factors. It discusses the disconnect between low-income men and traditional institutions such as marriage and religion, as well as the complexities surrounding societal attitudes towards personal beliefs and moral choices. The chapter culminates in a thought-provoking dialogue on the value of life and public perceptions through the lens of current social issues.
