Moral panics occur when a condition, group, or idea emerges that is seen as threatening societal values or interests. The document discusses how moral panics are often fueled by disproportionate media coverage of issues related to sex, drugs, youth, and new technologies. Moral panics can affect society by threatening stability and established social structures. They reflect societal fears, especially around protecting children, and reveal cultural anxieties about changes introduced by new media or technologies. While moral panics usually have short lifespans, politicians and media can sometimes prolong them by perpetuating the associated fears.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Definition
The concept of moral panics was first
popularized in 1972 when Stanley Cohen
wrote ‘Folk Devils and Moral Panics: The
Creation of the Mods and Rockers’.
Moral panics: a condition, episode, person or
group of persons emerges to become defined
as a threat to societal values and interests.
Its nature is presented in a stylized and
stereotypical fashion by the mass media.
3. Moral panics projection of fears that surround
the introduction of new communications
media – including film, television, information
phone calls and Internet.
These panics are generally fuelled by media
coverage of social issues.
A moral panics is specifically framed in terms
of morality and usually expressed as outrage
rather them unadulterated fear over the
potential misuse of some technology or
practice.
4. In a technological society, it is the new
technologies that figure prominently as the
focus of moral panics.
Internet pornography and its accessibility to
children has been perhaps the longest-
running moral panics of recent times. The
fear is justified: however parents can now
download software to block offending
websites and protect their children
5. Though not always, very often moral panics
revolve around issues of sex and sexuality.
Examples of moral panics:
- Camera phone – fear of people making
photos in pools and gyms
- Hooded tops – sweatshirts with hoods are the
latest clothing of demonized youth in the UK
- Horror comics – caused moral panics in the
1950’s
6. Pedophilia – fear of molesters makes for
sensational news
Poisoned candy – the poisoned Halloween
scare of the early 1980’s
Pornography – reaction to Internet
pornography in the 1990’s and 2000’s
Rock N Rolls musics
Role Playing Games – alleged links to devil
worship and suicide
7. Moral Panics involving new
communication technologies
the unanticipated result of technological
convergence – the amalgamation of different
technologies, such as mobile phones and
digital cameras
8. Stanley Cohen explored moral panics as a
means to explain the societal reaction to that
era’s phenomenon- Mods and Rockers.
A moral panic is a panic over what is seen as
deviant
The subject of the panic is usually not a new
phenomenon, but something which has been
existence for many years and suddenly
comes to society’s and media’s attention.
In this sense, Cohen explains deviancy and
deviant are created by society
9. Throughout the ages, media and society
have been concerned over children, the next
generation, are doing, or what done to them.
Moral panics often occur when desire to
protect them and ourselves is expressed.
People became more worried than ever
about what video were doing to kids and what
the kids would do as a result.
This new technology had become a new
threat
10. Moral panics are an important process the
media and society undergo, process which
makes statements about the nature of that
society and the time period in which it exits
A moral panic is unique to the society, era
and entertainment form it encompasses.
By examining a moral panic and its causes
and effects, a society’s values and fears and
other aspects of cultural identity, are
revealed.
11. How Moral panics affects us?
Threats to the stability of life as society
accommodates the new media. The moral panic
around cyber-porn, for example
Young people were cyber competent while their
parents and teachers were not. Panic reflects the
fear of the powerful faced the powerless others
The emerging media threaten established profits,
existing social structures, job security and
redundancy of respected skills
12. For some people the effect of this negative is
pervasive fear that can result in an avoidance
of the new medium.
New medium carries stories on violent
videos, pornography on the Net
The Internet is feared for its ability to remove
individuals psychologically from their social
setting ( the phone, the television, the book)
13. Those that fear new technology – who panic at the
release of yet more powerful tools into the hands of
individuals, business and government.
There may be people uncomfortable in a world
where services are accessed, goods purchased and
transactions increasingly mediated via keyboard and
screen.
They are people left behind by the technological
revolution of the past 30 years, whether through
poor education, lack of opportunity or through
choice.
14. Others experience moral panic because the
world is changing too fast for them and
because they do not understand the process
of social and economic change
The moral panic about cloning and stem cell
research are two recent examples of how the
potential benefits brought by biological
science can be interpreted as something
fearful.
15. Conclusion
Moral panics normally have a short life,
however opportunistic politicians and some
elements of the media intervene they can be
prolonged.
Some moral panics never truly die out. Crime
and horror comics, music – metal rock, rock
and roll
16. When the child masters a new tool, skill, or
technology, this foreign device can seem
threatening to the older generation.
Using that difference gives substance to the
generational gap while giving cause to
believe the next generation will not be greater
than the preceding one.
