The decline in moral standards — which has long-concerned social analysts — has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate, says this ethics professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in America society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that ’I’m in it for me’ has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness. " Ms. Elshtain says.
Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of-Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with-problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.
The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament for some nonexistent "golden age" , Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.
Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to c ounter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought. "
In the 1950s, classroom violence______.
选项
A、was something unheard of
B、was by no means a rare occurrence
C、attracted a lot of public attention
D、began to appear in analysts’ data
答案
A
解析
细节事实题。根据题干关键词In the 1950s定位到原文第五段尾句。题干中的classroom violence与第五段尾句重现,原句中的unheard of(闻所未闻)与选项A重现,原句中的struggling with—problems被选项A替换为something。故答案为A。
