Equally Bad Is Not Good: Allowing Title Ix “Compliance” By The Elimination Of Men’S Collegiate Sports, Donald E. Shelton
Equally Bad Is Not Good: Allowing Title Ix “Compliance” By The Elimination Of Men’S Collegiate Sports, Donald E. Shelton
Hon. Donald E. Shelton
Athletic participation is an important part of the educational process, instilling important lessons about discipline and teamwork. Title IX was intended to address the historic lack of opportunities for women and girls to participate in school athletics. Unfortunately, the current administrative interpretation of Title IX permits the elimination of male athletic opportunities as a means of complying with the statute's equality standard. This result undermines the purpose of Title IX and the role of athletics in the educational process for all students.
Killing Them Softly: Building The Blind Assassin, Lina Carro, Nancy A. Knowles
Killing Them Softly: Building The Blind Assassin, Lina Carro, Nancy A. Knowles
Lina Carro
Margaret Atwood’s Blind Assassin is an enthralling novel whose sensationalist mysteries could leave some readers feeling manipulated. This paper examines the use of narrative structure as a device to strengthen protagonist characterization and proposes that Atwood self-consciously employs a deftly woven, multi-tiered plot structure to challenge conventional reader responses to sensationalist fiction.

Visual Displays Of Information: A Conceptual Taxonomy, Scott Warren
Visual Displays Of Information: A Conceptual Taxonomy, Scott Warren
Scott Warren
This paper creates a taxonomic model for visual information displays looking at three levels: information design (based on Edward Tufte’s work), information architecture, and information spaces. Special attention is paid to the use of spatial and navigational metaphors in visual systems as they affect the user’s experience. Especially interesting is how a user creates an “information space” – a mental model of what he has seen, how she keeps track of where she is within a system, and how these activities fit together with the data that is being sought. Mathematics is one area that holds promise for better understanding …

Bracketed Flexibility: Standards Of Performance Level The Playing Field, Claire Moore Dickerson
Bracketed Flexibility: Standards Of Performance Level The Playing Field, Claire Moore Dickerson
Claire Moore Dickerson
Experiments in behavioral economics suggest that legal constraints do reduce uncertainty, thus justifying the use of standards of performance and challenging assertions that regulation of this nature is inefficient.
Recurrent Abdominal Pain And Consulting Behaviour Among Children In A Rural Community In Malaysia, Christopher Boey Chiong Meng
Recurrent Abdominal Pain And Consulting Behaviour Among Children In A Rural Community In Malaysia, Christopher Boey Chiong Meng
Christopher Boey Chiong Meng
Aim. To look at predictors of consulting behaviour among children with recurrent abdominal pain in a rural community in Malaysia. Subjects and methods. A sample of 1462 school-children aged between 9 and 15 years were randomly selected from all schools in Kuala Langat, a rural district in Malaysia. Those with recurrent abdominal pain, defined according to Apley's criteria, were recruited and divided into consulters and non-consulters. A consulter was defined as a child who had sought the help of a medical practitioner at least once in the past year for recurrent abdominal pain. A detailed clinical, social and family history …

An Exploratory Investigation Of Jealousy In The Family, Krystyna S. Aune, Jamie Comstock
An Exploratory Investigation Of Jealousy In The Family, Krystyna S. Aune, Jamie Comstock
Jayne Marie Comstock
A self-report instrument assessed an incident in which respondents experienced a threat to their relationship with a family member. The nature of the relationship with the family member was explored along with the experience, the emotional responses and coping behaviors, the degree of expression, perceived appropriateness, and the effects on the relationship. Results show that 52% of respondents experienced a jealousy incident in the family. Almost 50% of the incidents involved the respondent's sibling (approximately 30% sisters, 20% brothers), and more than 20% involved the respondent's mother. The perceived appropriateness of, and degree of jealousy experience were significantly greater than …
Managing Diversity: Establishing An Agenda For Organizational Change, Jamie Comstock
Managing Diversity: Establishing An Agenda For Organizational Change, Jamie Comstock
Jayne Marie Comstock
Managing organizational diversity requires managing change. Contemporary organizational leaders must prepare people to adapt to changes in organizational membership and effectively motivate all members of a diverse workforce. However, diversity initiatives are controversial and often met with employee resistance and a backlash of resentment, dissatisfaction, and group polarization. This paper advances a Dialectical Diversity Audit procedure that results in an effective agenda for diversity-related cultural change. The usefulness of the procedure is demonstrated through a Diversity Audit of a mid-sized public university in the southern United States. Using focus group interview techniques and interpretive ethnography, the Diversity Dialectics Audit “gave …
Alternative Discourses In Southeast Asia, Syed Farid Alatas
Alternative Discourses In Southeast Asia, Syed Farid Alatas
farid alatas
This article brings into focus the question of alternative discourses in the social sciences. Alternative discourses are works that attempt to debunk ideas that have become entrenched in the social sciences, partly as a result of colonialism and the continuing Eurocentrism in the social sciences. In the context of Southeast Asia as well as much of the non-Western world, alternative discourses in the social sciences could also be referred to collectively as counter- Eurocentric social science. This paper discusses the emergence of alternative discourses in Southeast Asia, the defintion of alternative discourse, and the future of these discourses in our …
Rights Of Inequality: Rawlsian Justice, Equal Opportunity, And The Status Of The Family, Justin Schwartz
Rights Of Inequality: Rawlsian Justice, Equal Opportunity, And The Status Of The Family, Justin Schwartz
Justin Schwartz
Is the family subject to principles of justice? In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls includes the (monogamous) family along with the market and the government as among the "basic institutions of society" to which principles of justice apply. Justice, he famously insists, is primary in politics as truth is in science: the only excuse for tolerating injustice is that no lesser injustice is possible. The point of the present paper is that Rawls doesn't actually mean this. When it comes to the family, and in particular its impact on fair equal opportunity (the first part of the the Difference …

Print Media Coverage Of Environmental Causation Of Breast Cancer, Phil Brown, Stephen M. Zavestoski, Sabrina Mccormick, Joshua Mandelbaum, Theo Luebke
Print Media Coverage Of Environmental Causation Of Breast Cancer, Phil Brown, Stephen M. Zavestoski, Sabrina Mccormick, Joshua Mandelbaum, Theo Luebke
Sabrina McCormick
Given the growing concern with breast cancer as a largely unexplained and common illness of our time, we would expect considerable print media coverage. An accurate portrayal of breast cancer would also include a good amount of attention to the potential environmental factors since many women with breast cancer and activists are pointing to such potential causes. Our examination of daily newspapers, newsweeklies, science periodicals, and women's magazines showed that there was little coverage of possible environmental causation. There was also scant attention paid to corporate and governmental responsibility. Articles often focused on individual responsibility for diet, age at birth …

Patterns Of Self-Rated Health In Older Adults Before And After Sentinel Events, Paula Diehr
Paula Diehr
OBJECTIVES: To describe and compare patterns of change in self-rated health for older adults before death and before and after stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiac procedure, hospital admission for cancer, and hip fracture. DESIGN: "Event cohort," measuring time in months before and after the event. SETTING: Four U.S. communities. PARTICIPANTS: 5888 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), sampled from Medicare rolls and followed up to 8 years. Mean age at baseline was 73. MEASUREMENTS: Self-rated health, including a category for death, assessed at 6-month intervals, and ascertainment of events. METHODS: We examined the percentage that was healthy …
Literature Alongside Law As A Contemporary Paradigm, Shulamit Almog
Literature Alongside Law As A Contemporary Paradigm, Shulamit Almog
Shulamit Almog
This article presents and evaluates two paradigms and their relevance within the law and literature discourse. According to the first one, The Global law paradigm, the law appears as a huge web or as a unified and orderly meta-network, which encompasses human experience in all realms, and provides a normative response for every aspect of it. This paradigm may be set against an alternative perception, the paradigm of literature alongside law. Within the framework of this paradigm, vulnerable parts of the law, some of its false pretenses as well as the hidden processes shaping it are exposed. Next, is the …
“Slavery, Racist Violence, American Apartheid: The Case For Reparations.”, Sundiata K. Cha-Jua
“Slavery, Racist Violence, American Apartheid: The Case For Reparations.”, Sundiata K. Cha-Jua
Sundiata K Cha-Jua
LIKE THE PROVERBIAL COMET, over the last year the demand for reparations has blazed across the political skyline. Few current issues burn as brightly among African Americans. The movement's surging growth has predictably provoked renewed opposition. Recently critiques of the escalating reparations movement have come from two very different sources: Adolph L. Reed, Jr., a justly-respected African American radical, and David Horowitz, an unrespected neoconservative ideologue. This paper has three interconnected objectives: (1) to explicate Reed's and Horowitz's arguments; (2) to contextualize their arguments; and (3) to suggest an alternative reading of the reparations movement. The first, explication of their …
"Simply So Different": The Uniquely Expressive Character Of The Openly Gay Individual After Boy Scouts V. Dale, Nancy J. Knauer
"Simply So Different": The Uniquely Expressive Character Of The Openly Gay Individual After Boy Scouts V. Dale, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
Boy Scouts v. Dale was uniformly considered a set back for gay rights. Undeniably, it was not a good result for James Dale or other openly gay individuals who would like to participate in the largest youth organization in the U.S. This Article views Boy Scouts v. Dale in a different light and suggests that the expressive character of the openly gay individual endorsed by the majority may signal an opportunity to argue for greater First Amendment protections. The majority recognized that a single avowal of homosexuality imbues the openly gay individual with a uniquely expressive character. Wherever he goes, …

You're So Pretty You Don't Look Moroccan, Henriette Dahan Kalev
You're So Pretty You Don't Look Moroccan, Henriette Dahan Kalev
henriette dahan kalev
"You are so pretty--you don't look Moroccan." I grew up hearing this sentence from the time my parents brought me from Morocco in 1949 to the immigrant camp Sha'ar Aliyah and to the Ma'abara [transit camp] Pardes Chana. I heard it from the white uniformed nurse, who came to our tent in the immigrant camp to tell my mother how she should raise me, my sister, and my baby brother, who was born in that tent. This nurse spoke of "raising children" as if it was something Zionists invented. The tall silver-haired Yekke [German Jew] kindergarten teacher also used this …

Origin Of Communist Policing In The People's Republic Of China, Kam C. Wong
Origin Of Communist Policing In The People's Republic Of China, Kam C. Wong
Kam C. Wong
This is an investigation into the origin of Communist policing in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Existing literature on the PRC police (baowei, gongan, jingcha) are not in agreement as to the origin of Communist policing. Most sources, particularly western ones, point to the formation of the Ministry of Public Security in November of 1949 as the origination of Communist police. Others, particularly the PRC police historians, have traced the starting date to November of 1931 when the Chinese Soviet government in Shan-Gan-Ning border area established the Political Security Department (zhengzhi baoweiju). Still, a minority have suggested that Communist …

Islam As Intellectual Property: 'My Lord! Increase Me In Knowledge', Ali Khan
Islam As Intellectual Property: 'My Lord! Increase Me In Knowledge', Ali Khan
Ali Khan
The distinction between assets and ideas lies at the core of the misunderstanding between Islam and secularism, the strongest version of which is unfolding in the United States. Muslims view Islam as knowledge-based (intellectual) property, not an idea. Secularists reduce Islam to a mere idea, reserving the notion of intellectual property for literary and artistic works, inventions, patents, films, computer programs, designs, trademarks, and trade secrets. Muslims elevate the knowledge-based assets of Islam to the highest level of protection, more than the intellectual work of any scientist, artist, or corporation. Even in the face of a rising tide of secularism …
The Dignity Of Labor, Ali Khan
The Dignity Of Labor, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
The denigration of manual labor is a long, sad, captivating story of human civilization. No community can survive, let alone prosper, without the manual labor of farmers, industrial employees, construction workers, miners, and innumerable other men and women who toil to make everyone's day-to-day life possible. Yet a deeply entrenched prejudice against manual labor persists. Cultures and communities across the globe and throughout history have interwoven complex social, religious, and legal webs to create, maintain, and perpetuate a manual class that performs menial, difficult, and hazardous work. Weavers of these webs, including intellectual, political, and legal elites, personally benefit from …
“Don’T Waste My Time On Negotiation And Mediation, This Dispute Needs A Judge.” Which Conflicts Need Judges? Which Conflicts Need Filing?, John Wade
John Wade
This article contains two parts. First, there is a framework aimed at encouraging lawyers and other conflict managers to be overtly analytical when deciding which interventions may or may not be helpful in a particular conflict. Second, to illustrate this analytical framework, there are two lists of factors or diagnostic indicators that suggest that certain conflicts probably need the decision of an umpire or judge and that certain other conflicts probably need written claims to be filed in a court or tribunal. This article does not attempt to create lists of factors that indicate the suitability of many other processes, …
