How Now Shall We Consume: Widening Conception Of Political Consumption And Analysis Of The American Buyer, John Patton Chew
Masters Theses
As consumption of goods has risen, it has increasingly become a space for political activists to brand products and for the everyday consumer to voice their opinion on how businesses should be run. Through the practices of buycotting and boycotting political consumers have increasingly been able to show their support for issues as diverse as gay rights, environmental issues, funding for disease cures, and American based products.
This study attempts to gain an understanding of how prevalent political consumption is and of who are political consumers. The findings show that a large percentage of the population is knowledgeable and active …
Income Inequality And Social Stratification: The Effect Of Market Versus State In Transitional Urban China, Qiong Wu
Masters Theses
The rise of inequality in China is one of the most serious social problems in the reform era in China.

The results of the ordinary least squares regression analysis show no significance in party membership, state ownership, and work experience, …

A Cross-National, Longitudinal Test Of Institutional Anomie Theory, Marc Alan Kittleson

Institutional anomie theory has been tested using a number of different methods and data from county-level to international-level aggregates. This study addresses the research question of whether variations in crime victimization can …

Rape Myth Acceptance And Rape Attitudes In Campus Hook-Up Culture, Karolina Staros
Masters Theses
This study examines the norms of hooking-up and compares these norms to rape culture in order to measure rape myth acceptance or supportive attitudes towards rape as they manifest in hook-up culture on campus. By consulting what is already published in scholarship about rape culture and rape myths, this study builds on the very limited literature on hook-up culture.
This study uses mixed methods to inquire about norms of hook-up culture and measures the rape myth acceptance and rape attitudes by gender of respondents in a Midwest campus environment. By addressing the issues that students face with gender inequality and …
