Using data from our 2023 Fall Survey of Minnesota Residents, we examine the relationship between partisanship, education, and age on trust in the healthcare system. We also examine the relationship between demographic factors and the likelihood of experiencing discrimination in health care services.

Growing Up With Hunters: An Insider's Perspective, Sudie Hofmann
Growing Up With Hunters: An Insider's Perspective, Sudie Hofmann
Human Relations and Multicultural Education Faculty Publications
Many of us who care about animals go about our lives while immersed in a world that is either not aligned with, or is even openly hostile to, our respect for animals. Sudie Hofmann is one of many people who grew up in a family that didn’t share her respect and compassion for animals. She shares her experience of what it’s like to grow up in a family of hunters.
Comparisons Of Organizations That Organize Around Issues Facing Immigrant Women, Emily Herne
Comparisons Of Organizations That Organize Around Issues Facing Immigrant Women, Emily Herne
Undergraduate Research in Sociology
This paper analyzes organizations that organize immigrant women to address issues in the workplace. Strategizing differences and policy goals will be analyzed in order to assess which strategies have acquired lasting policy changes that benefit immigrant women. Two organizations in California and Minnesota that are representative of the different types of groups that organize women immigrant workers will be examined. These groups were selected because they have a strong media presence, which facilitated the collection of data through content analysis of news articles, organization websites, and social media. The Minnesota organizations include La Asamblea de Derechos Civiles and Mesa Latina. …
What Is The Interracial Black And White Trajectory In America?, Luke S. Tripp
What Is The Interracial Black And White Trajectory In America?, Luke S. Tripp
Ethnic and Women's Studies Working Papers
Martin Luther King envisioned a beloved integrated community of interracial harmony based on racial equality and mutual respect, a society in which race would be irrelevant, and one in which we all would share the resources of the nation based on humanitarian values. Are we moving toward that goal? How can we best measure progress toward it? I will argue that King’s vision of racial equality remains elusive and provide factual evidence that shows that the racial inequality gap, which has persisted over the last fifty years, has widen in key domains of social life. First, we will examine the …

In the Fall Semester 2000, St. Cloud State University implemented mandatory racial issues courses that were designed to help students understand and reflect on race relations in the USA. To what extent are students learning what we attempt to teach them about race relations? This is the central question in this assessment report.

Secular Mode, Sacred Message: How Contemporary Christian Musicians Are Called By God To Perform, Matthew W. Lauritsen
Secular Mode, Sacred Message: How Contemporary Christian Musicians Are Called By God To Perform, Matthew W. Lauritsen
Undergraduate Research in Sociology
Contemporary Christian music occupies nearly every genre of music today. Their styles range from country to heavy metal. Yet screaming into the microphone and making guttural noises doesn’t seem like it could possibly be a form of Christian worship. Or can it? The way in which Christian musicians have reinterpreted the acceptance of secular genres to promote a Christian message has changed dramatically over the course of Christian music history and most significantly within the last decade.
Contemporary Christian worship leaders within the church are consciously challenging, reinterpreting, and renegotiating religion to theologically justify the use of secular modes to …
Surviving With Spirituality: An Analysis Of Scientology In A Neo-Liberal Modern World, Kevin D. Revier
Surviving With Spirituality: An Analysis Of Scientology In A Neo-Liberal Modern World, Kevin D. Revier
Undergraduate Research in Sociology
The neoliberal system has expanded fertile ground for markets to produce and distribute spiritual commodities. This paper examines how the Church of Scientology profits by selling spiritual goods to the modern neoliberal consumer. To accumulate data, I conducted interviews and participated in various rituals at the Church of Scientology in St. Paul, Minnesota. I outline and examine the data in four sections: the initiation process of the latent member, their consumption patterns in the Church, social interactions between members, and how these interactions bridge the Church into the public arena. I conclude that the Church is a market institution that …

Ethical Thinking And Practice For Parent And Family Life Educators, Ethics Committee Of The Minnesota Council On Family Relations, Glen F. Palm
Ethical Thinking And Practice For Parent And Family Life Educators, Ethics Committee Of The Minnesota Council On Family Relations, Glen F. Palm
Child and Family Studies Faculty Publications
Parent and family life educators face difficult ethical issues on a daily basis. These issues may include observing parenting practices that may be harmful to children, responding to parent remarks about their partners, or sharing information about a family with a professional in another agency. Some of these situations may be resolved by reviewing general principles of good practice with a colleague, while others may reveal a true ethical dilemma.
Parent and family life educators are working with complex family systems, diverse belief and value systems, and a variety of social institutions and agencies. Many face these issues in relative …
Racism And Public Education, Luke S. Tripp
Racism And Public Education, Luke S. Tripp
Ethnic and Women's Studies Working Papers
This essay argues that the U.S. public school system is structured along racial and social class lines determined by powerful political and economic forces, and that there is a racial and class tracking system in public education that reproduces the race and class structure of the society. Further, it describes how schools play a principal role in perpetuating ideological racism through a social studies curriculum that is designed to promote white supremacy by distorting American history in such a way that it portrays whites as agents of progress and builders of civilizations and Blacks as insignificant objects or deficient characters.
Race, Merit, And College Admissions, Luke S. Tripp
Race, Merit, And College Admissions, Luke S. Tripp
Ethnic and Women's Studies Working Papers
Is it fair to include race in the criteria for admission to highly selective colleges and universities so that Blacks will be present in greater numbers on college and university campuses? This is a central question in the affirmative-action controversy. To address this key question we will focus on prestigious institutions of higher education because that is where affirmative action policies are most controversial. Therefore, we will consider some of the most compelling arguments of opponents and proponents of affirmative action programs and policies at prestigious colleges and universities.

You Bet They're Having Fun! Older Americans And Casino Gambling, Linda Havir, Janet Hope
Sociology Faculty Publications
This exploratory two-stage study of a small sample of older Minnesotans finds no evidence that casino gambling activities threaten their well being. For most respondents the social benefits were the most salient parts of this activity and they were well aware of the danger signs of problem behaviors. Social exchange theory explains why they visit casinos and how much they spend. The life course perspective explains their decisions based on past behaviors and consistent with how they have lived their lives. We suggest that age norms determine the public's perceptions that casino gambling is problematic for older people. Results are …

Racial Ideological Warfare: Iq As A Weapon, Luke S. Tripp
Racial Ideological Warfare: Iq As A Weapon, Luke S. Tripp
Ethnic and Women's Studies Working Papers
Racial ideological warfare continues in America. This form of warfare is waged primarily against Black people. A major force prosecuting this war is an array of white academics, scholars, intellectuals, and social scientists (Coughlin, 1995; Heller, 1994). Their major premise is that Black people are mentally inferior to all other racial groups, especially the white race. This is the main thrust of The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life by Herrnstein and Murray which was ranked 5th on the New York Times Best Seller List on December 25, 1994. Its widespread popularity and appeal, and the accelerated …
