Unit 43.2 Primary Research Morale Panics

Within this essay I will be discussing the terms Morale Panics,

Morale Panics- A morale panic is where a story which goes into the paper causes other things to happen and is fuelled by the media for example the Madeline Mcann story where Madeline mcann got snatched whilst on holiday in portugal then other stories that are similar to that started to happen and more children were being taken away from there families. Another example would be the Jimmy saville story where he was accused of raping children and then more stories came out like Kevin webster out of coronation street who was accused of raping children and got found not guilty this is a morale panic because it is being fuelled by the media and they are emphasising the story and making out the story to be something that it isn't. Another morale panic would be Miley Cyrus, Miley Cyrus would be a morale panic because of the way she has changed her image and all her music now that has changed where she wears nothing in them now and all the song lyrics that have changed. This is a morale panic because of all the parents that let there children listen to her songs would find them inappropriate for there children to listen to them.
