Moral panics are not a new concept to modern society; episodes of panic, anxiety or alarm over numerous forms of perceived threats an element of society. Many studies have been conducted since Stanley Cohen first addressed the concept in 1972 with his book ‘Folk Devils and Moral Panics: The Creation of the Mods and Rockers’ – including that of Erich Goode and Nachman Ben-Yehuda (Moral Panics: The Social Construction of Deviance).

Folk devils are the first stage and the subject of moral panics. The term “folk devil” was coined by Stanley Cohen in his “Folk Devils and Moral Panics”. He used it to describe a person or group of people who were used as scapegoats for the current issues of society. Although the term was coined in the 1970's to describe Mods and Rockers, the concept can be
Who was Leonard Cohen? He was a poet turned singer from the 1960s. At the start of his career, he only wrote poems, but as time went on, he started creating music to put his words to. In the beginning, Cohen’s music was more folk and country based but it transitioned to a more folk rock, spoken, and pop genre during the later years of his career. Throughout Leonard Cohen’s career, he has infamously been called a ladies’ man and he perpetuates this image through his live performances, however, this

genuinely cared about what is more beneficial for the firm and for their coworkers. They do anything that they can do to save the firm. While they care about their coworkers and the firm, other characters are the exact opposite. Seth Bregman, Jared Cohen, Will Emerson, Sam Rogers and John Tuld were the exact opposite of Eric and Peter. They only cared about themselves and what money they can get out of the firm before it crashes. They didn’t even care if their coworkers were struggling, as long as

that say about the fears of society? Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, an expert on monster culture, explains this and more in his article “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)” reprinted in the textbook Monsters in 2012. Cohen’s first thesis of monster culture, The Monster’s Body is a Cultural Body, argues that “The monster’s body quite literally incorporates fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy, giving them life and an uncanny independence” (12). According to Cohen, the outward appearance of the monster reflects the
all the more appealing (Nadel 1). And what is it that heroes always lament about? A fair lady. Cohen’s Suzanne, a muse for dozens of Beat poets, but for none more special than for him, has been immortalized in his poem which bears her name. While Cohen was in Montreal, he came in contact with Suzanne Verdal, a beautiful, young bohemian spirited dancer and wife of a sculptor, Armand Vaillancourt. In an interview with Kate Saunders for the BBC, Suzanne Verdal speaks about the Beat scene: The Beat
The concept of nostalgia was first introduced by the Swiss physician Johannes Hofer in 1688. He created the name by combining the Greek words nostos and algos, which mean “return” and “suffering” respectively (“Why Does Nostalgia”). Although Hofer defined it, the idea of nostalgia was introduced even earlier in the writings of Shakespeare, Caesar, Hippocrates, and Homer (Wildschut, Sedikides, Arndt, and Routledge). He was inspired to coin the term after witnessing countless Swiss soldiers experiencing
“Hallelujah” by Panic at the Disco is a song about searching for retribution for sins and coming to terms with mistakes made throughout a lifetime. “Hallelujah” captures the need for the speaker to come to terms with the mistakes they have made throughout their lifetime and own up to what they have done in order to begin to live as the person they wish to be rather than the person they have allowed their sins to define them as. The song uses an abstract setting and speaker in order to make the
The Poem titled “A Kite is a victim” written by Leonard Cohen contains multiple tropes. Through my own analysis I propose that the author’s central focus concerns life. Cohen discusses the relationships and accomplishes that we make throughout our lifetimes. In my opinion, the kite is a metaphor for the essence of life and living. Each of the four stanzas in the poem begins with a trope. In every case the tenor is the kite. These tropes will be analyzed with regard to the central theme of the poem
‘Molly Mormon’ is the perfect woman. She never raises her voice. Her house is always sparkling clean and she excels in every church calling. She’s understanding and supportive of her husband and children. In essence, ‘Molly Mormon’ is the ideal wife, mother, helpmate, PTA leader, quilter, baker, and casserole maker; she is consistently well-groomed, cheerful and bright (Egan 1). For many Latter Day Saint (LDS) women, the overwhelming pressure to be ‘Molly Mormon’ is unbearable. LDS women are likely

the Blues: The Similarities of hip-hop and the blues Hip-hop is one of the major music genres of today like the blues were in the 1950's. Stanley Crouch views hip-hop as being vulgar and obscene while he sees the blues as being one of the classic music genres. In actuality, these two genres are similar in many ways. A very important part of Stanley Crouch's life is his love for the blues. Many of his essays are related to or have aspects of the blues contained within them. Crouch relates topics

Stanley Kramer’s Inherit the Wind History is consistently used in films as a technique to teach the values and morals of events that occurred. But what’s the point in teaching history through films when they are terribly fictional? In films, the director finds the best scheme to intrigue their audience only by changing the actual event to satisfy their interest. This is true for Stanley Kramer when he made the history of John Scopes and his “monkey trial” into a film called Inherit the Wind. Kramer
I am extremely indebted to both Colin Stanley's The Work of Colin Wilson and Howard F. Dossor's Colin Wilson: The Man and His Mind. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all of Colin Wilson’s major works, although those seeking an impeccably complete reference should consult with Colin Stanley’s book, and its recent supplement. I have also appended a list of his shorter fiction. Wilson has also penned literally hundreds of articles in newspapers and magazines, and he has provided introductions
