Read this excerpt from a speech by televangelist Jerry Falwell, 1980. We must reverse the trend America finds herself in today. Young people between the ages of twenty-five and forty have been born and reared in a different world than Americans of years past. The television set has been their primary baby-sitter. From the television set they have learned situation ethics. . . . [T]hey have learned a loss of respect for human life. They have learned to disrespect the family as God has established it. They have been educated in a public-school system that is permeated with secular humanism. They have been taught that the Bible is just another book of literature. They have been taught that there are no absolutes in our world today. They have been introduced to the drug culture. . . . These same young people have been reared under the influence of a government that has taught them socialism and welfarism. The sentiments described in the excerpt reflect which of the following?
the rise of the Moral Majority
the influence of the silent majority
the effects of the introduction of television
the rise of the New Left
