Download or read book Public Opinion and Popular Government written by A. Lawrence Lowell. This book was released on 2015-06-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Opinion and Popular Government This volume of the American Citizen Series needs no editorial exposition, except to make clear its place in the series, and its relation to the other volumes. The intent of the various writers is to lay hold of those aspects and applications of American life which affect the organization of society and government. Therefore, economics, finance, social organization, guiding principles of government, constitutional forms, the nature of democracy, have been discussed in one or another of the volumes that have already appeared. President Lowell deals with the most difficult and the most momentous question of government, - how to transmit the force of individual opinion and preference into public action. This is the crux of popular institutions. As throughout the series the effort of the author is to throw aside the husk and find the kernel; to penetrate through the current political phrases and show the psychological forces which lead to states of mind which are finally translated into laws and decisions. This process inevitably leads to a study both of representative action and of the various forms of direct legislation.

Book Synopsis Public Opinion by : Vincent Price
Download or read book Public Opinion written by Vincent Price. This book was released on 1992-06-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is perhaps most amazing about this little book is its comprehensiveness. In little more than a 100 pages, Price manages to discuss the relevance of ′public opinion′ to just about every major mass communication theory. . . . The reference list alone would be a valuable resource for anyone studying public opinion. . . . Price does a stellar job of explaining in easy-to-understand language what most of these references have to say about public opinion. . . . The two greatest contributions of the book are Price′s organization of the vast literature on public opinion, coupled with his distillation of major works, including some truly hefty tomes, into a few simple words. Those who have grappled with the thoughts of Habermas and Blumer, for example, will greatly appreciate Price′s succinct and insightful descriptions of the relevance of these difficult works to the study of public opinion. Another strong point is the book′s currency: while you will find references to works published in the 1920s, you also will find books, articles, and reports published in the 1990s. . . . If you are new to the study of public opinion and communication, this book is the most painless, yet valuable introduction I can recommend. If you think you already know a lot about public opinion, the book may be even more valuable: it may dispel you of the notion that anyone knows a lot about public opinion." --Journalism Quarterly Public opinion--is it a simple aggregation of individual views, or instead some kind of collective-level, emergent product of debate and discussion? What is the role of public opinion in popular government? How do the mass media shape public opinion, or link it to governmental decision-making? Price′s Public Opinion explores such questions by tracing the historical development and application of the concept of public opinion. It examines the concept′s origins in Enlightenment thought and follows its evolution as a tool for social-scientific research. Intended as a map of the sprawling research terrain, Public Opinion introduces the conceptual mechanisms underlying public opinion research and shows how these concepts are used in an attempt to resolve enduring theoretical, normative, and practical questions. Because public opinion is one of the most vital and enduring concepts in the social sciences, this book will enjoy wide application in psychology, sociology, political science, journalism, and communication research in both academic and applied settings.
