Rights, Individualism, Community: Aristotle And The Communitarian-Liberalism Debate, Jeffery Nicholas

Jeffery Nicholas

I argue that Aristotle could not be a fore-runner to liberalism, because his view of humanity is that human beings are constituted by a community and achieve self-fulfillment only as so constituted. Thus, Aristotle endorses a unique position that defends the freedom and self-development of the individual within the parameters of a social order.

Brotherly Love In Philadelphia: Reports Of Its Demise Are Exaggerated, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

While concentrating on Philadelphia, the paper by inference supports the idea that the study of associationalism, social capital and fraternalism can profitably be done on a city by city basis, and that the view that society affiliations have succumbed to television-induced aloneness may be overstated.

African American Student Athletes' Perceptions Of Career Transition In Sport: A Qualitative And Visual Elicitation, Keith Harrison

Dr. C. Keith Harrison

This study focuses on 26 African American athletes and explores their perceptions of athletic career transition. Participants consisted of student athletes from a United States National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division IIA institution in the Southeastern region. Participants completed the Life After Sports Scale (LASS), a 58-item inventory utilized to qualitatively and quantitatively examine seven different domains which influence perceptions of the career transition process. The scope of this inquiry examines the qualitative domain of the LASS in which participants were visually primed with a narrative description of a student athlete that has made transition out of sport successfully. Five …

Latin American Education's Computing Crisis, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

For a number of years I went around the world beating the drum for the role of computing in education. That has become a too familiar tune and now the focus is on aspects of computing in schools and universities rather than the general need to introduce the topic. However, we are just at the start of a revolution...

Masons And Greeks: A Brief Lodge Address, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

In any large city there are dozens of lodges, and they often are looking for a speaker. i think my popularity has been based more on my brevity than my eloquence, but in any event this tlak on Greeks and Masons always elicits a discussion because there will be individuals in the audience who joined a fraternity in college and subsequently became Freemasons, so they can appreciate the comparison.

Voluntarismo En Estados Unidos Y El Debate De Robert Putnam, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

El debate en tomo a "bolear solo" (Bowling Alone) que inicio Robert Putnam respecto a la salud del voluntarismo estadunidense presen­ ta como muy novedosas algunas caracteristicas del desarrollo de la sociedad civil y la cultura politica que en realidad habian sido sefiala­ das con anterioridad por Seymour Martin Upset y otras. Para comprender Estados Unidos, es necesario entender el signifi­ cado de la sociedad civil y de la fructifera presencia del volunta­ rismo que es su savia vital.' Las asociaciones estadunidenses -inclu­yendo a las Iglesias, organizaciones civiles, los consejos escolares, fraternidades y grupos filantr6picos-- son campos de entrenamiento vitalicios …

The American Academy Of Political And Social Science In The Twenty-First Century, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

One of the fixtures in academic publishing for decades was the familiar and stark orange cover of the Annals of the American Academy, with no mitigating photo or illustration. The first departure from this august tradition was occasioned by a volume that David Merchant and I produced, and was accompanied by some thoughts on the future that not only appeared in the Annals but were featured for a long time on the Academy web site. The shocked reacton among some of the fellows that the new cover produced would make a movie.

The Health Status Of Aboriginal Peoples In Canada: Reflection, Realization, And Response, Sam Grey

Sam Grey

“[A] great many people have little access to health care […] and spend their lives fighting unnecessary morbidity” (Sen, 1999:15). To Nobel-laureate Amartya Sen, this is a fundamental form of ‘unfreedom.’ To many Aboriginal1 people, it is a characteristic of contemporary existence within the boundaries of Canada. Because the health status of Native people has continued to register as inequitably poor, despite the existence of socialized medicine and a proliferation of government health programs, claims that a simple increase in health services or a reorganization of the health care budget will have a positive impact are no longer sensible. And …

State Laws And The Independent Judiciary: An Analysis Of The Effects Of The Seventeenth Amendment On The Number Of Supreme Court Cases Holding State Laws Unconstitutional, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

In recent years, the Seventeenth Amendment has been the subject of legal scholarship, congressional hearings and debate, Supreme Court opinions, popular press articles and commentary, state legislative efforts aimed at repeal, and activist repeal movements. To date, the literature on the effects of the Seventeenth Amendment has focused almost exclusively on the effects on the political production of legislation and competition between legislative bodies. Very little attention has been given to the potential adverse effects of the Seventeenth Amendment on the relationship between state legislatures and the federal courts. This Article seeks to fill part of that literature gap, applying …

Toward A Theory Of Heritage Language Acquisition: Spanish In The United States, Andrew Lynch

Andrew Lynch

The sociolinguistic realities of English and Spanish, at the national and world levels, have evolved in fundamental ways since the 1960s. Traditional theoretical models of language variation, bilingualism, and language shift in the US must be reconceptualized with the post-2000 context, and Spanish language educators must respond to the contemporary demands of their profession. In this essay, I give thought to the theoretical principles of Spanish heritage language acquisition in the US in the twenty-first century.
