The Cyclical Nature of Moral Entrepreneurship.

<p>The primary focus of this study was to determine how "moral entrepreneurs" were able to convince the American public to support their anti-drug crusades.</p> <p>The methodology section consisted of information gathered from primary and secondary sources, and described why these sources were used.</p> <p>Harry Anslinger and Richard Nixon were used as models to demonstrate how a cycle of moral entrepreneurship existed throughout the twentieth century.</p> <p>By testing for a cycle of moral entrepreneurship through content analysis of various sources, including descriptive statistics, the same pattern was identified as dominating Reagan's and Bush's anti-drug rhetoric.</p> <p>Lastly, possible limitations of the study and any implications that the study may have for the reader were discussed.</p>
