Document Summary

Using examples from the course readings and lectures, discuss this idea as it relates to the concept of self-regulation and moral regulation. Hunt writes, people are mobilized to see the conduct of others as immoral and wrong. In his introduction, hunt looks at moral regulation campaigns as a form of moralization, or people acting by problematizing the conduct of others". The problematizing of conduct acts as the beginnings of a moral regulation process and eventually, if it accomplished its goal, it achieves morality either through self-regulation or through law. Agreeably, hunt claims, that it is in people"s nature to criticize others via movements and try to stop them by enforcing various ways. Society for the reformation of manners active around 1700, to victorian sexual panics, and case studies of us sexual purity movements, all of these instances show how self-regulation can translate into interfering with the conduct of others.
