The Power Of Prime-Time Television, Chris Boyd
The Power Of Prime-Time Television, Chris Boyd
Honors Theses
I intend to illustrate the possibilities of prime-time television's impact on creating positive social change. For this to occur, television would be acting as a leader to the audiences at home. Through the images shown on screen, lessons would be learned and attitudes would be changes. This change can happen through various avenues, but they all lead to the same goal, an improved society.
Indigenous Groups In Latin America : Emergence Of Indentity And Prospects For Self-Determination, Eduardo J. Abreu
Indigenous Groups In Latin America : Emergence Of Indentity And Prospects For Self-Determination, Eduardo J. Abreu
Honors Theses
When discussing the history and emulation of what today is called the Americas (North, Central, and South) it is almost instinctive for one to begin to conceptualize the beginning of its history stemming from the arrival of Western Europeans and their successors. A large part of this is due to the simple fact that history books and education have been written, ironically, by the very minority that established institutions in these eas; thus their very arrival becomes the reference point of their history. Yet, what is so readily forgotten, and sometimes barely acknowledged, is the rich history and civilization that …

A Study Of The Internal Family Systems Model Applied To Remarried Couples Of Stepfamilies In Different Stages Of Adjustment, Susan Marie Carter
A Study Of The Internal Family Systems Model Applied To Remarried Couples Of Stepfamilies In Different Stages Of Adjustment, Susan Marie Carter
Dissertations
Problem. Stepfamilies are becoming the largest family type in the United States. This has significant implications for understanding the complications of remarriage and providing clinical interventions that support the adjustment process of stepfamilies. The Internal Family Systems Model, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, asserts that an individual's personality is multiple naturally, and that there are interactions within the individual that have significant impact on their external systems. In applying the IFS model to the study of stepfamilies, this present study identifies the IFS maps of the partners of remarried couples active in stepfamily interaction and to determine how this IFS …
Quality Of Fathering And Its Relationship With Family Background, Demographics, And Characteristics Of Present Family : A Study Of Seventh-Day Adventist Fathers And Fathers From A National Sample, Ruth Depaiva
Dissertations
Problem . Fathers have been assumed to play an important role in the socialization and education of their children. The need to understand the influence and the role of effective fathers becomes especially important in a generation which views fatherlessness as one of the most harmful demographic trends. The Seventh-day Adventist Church considers fatherhood vital for the normal functioning of the family. The present study investigated how selected variables from family background, demographics, and characteristics of present family are related to fathering as measured by self-report of fathering dimensions, practices, and satisfaction.
Method . Two groups of fathers participated in …

A Longitudinal Study On The Essence Of Success Development As Seen By Caribbean Canadian Women In The Storied Landscape Of Their Lived Experience, Glenda-Mae Greene
Dissertations
Problem. Caribbean Canadians are often susceptible to negative stereotyping because of issues of social class and length of residence in Canada. This study describes how three Caribbean Canadian young women avoided stereotype vulnerability and journeyed to their definition of success. This narrative study focuses on themes which acted as catalysts for success in their lives. The data collection began with interviews conducted during their high school years and concluded with another set of interviews in the post-college years. The study records their stories as they strive to develop and achieve their idea of success in the non-school world.
Method. Through …

Theoretical Orientations To Reading And Reading Instructional Practices Of Selected Home-Education Parents In Southwest Michigan, Pollyanna Prosper Barnes
Dissertations
Problem. This research study sought to determine
(1) home educators' beliefs about reading,
(2) their reading instructional practices, and
(3) the consistency between parents' beliefs and practice.
Method. This study used multiple sources of data. Demographic information was collected from 78 active home educators in southwest Michigan. DeFord's (1985) Theoretical Orientation to Reading Profile (TORP) determined parents' theoretical orientation to reading. Nine parents were interviewed and observed teaching reading. The Moss (1980) Classroom Analysis of Teachers' Theoretical Orientation (CATTOR) was used to record parents' instructional practices in reading. Documents utilized during instruction were analyzed and placed in one or more …
Medicaid Managed Care And Disability Discrimination Issues, Mary Crossley
Medicaid Managed Care And Disability Discrimination Issues, Mary Crossley
Articles
This article examines issues potentially raised under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by states' decisions whether and how to include disabled Medicaid recipients in the massive shift towards Medicaid managed care. Part II briefly examines the special issues that disabled Medicaid recipients pose with respect to managed care enrollment. These include issues of cost, quality, access, and program design and implementation. Part III describes various approaches that state programs have taken or are proposing to take with respect to the enrollment of disabled Medicaid recipients in managed care. These approaches range from simply excluding the SSI population from managed …
Legal-Ware: Contract And Copyright In The Digital Age, Michael J. Madison
Legal-Ware: Contract And Copyright In The Digital Age, Michael J. Madison
Articles
ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, which enforced a shrinkwrap license for computer software, has encouraged the expansion of the shrinkwrap form beyond computer programs, forward, onto the Internet, and backward, toward such traditional works as books and magazines. Authors and publishers are using that case to advance norms of information use that exclude, practically and conceptually, a robust public domain and a meaningful doctrine of fair use. Contesting such efforts by focusing on the contractual nature of traditional shrinkwrap, by relying on market principles, on adhesion theory, on commercial law concepts of usage and custom, or on federal preemption doctrine, feeds …

Turkiye'de Icgoc Ve Icgocun Isci Hareketine Etkisi, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci, I. Aydingun
Ibrahim Sirkeci
Bu incelemede genel olarak yapmak istediğimiz, Türkiye’deki içgöç hareketlerinin işçi sınıfı yapısına etkisini tartışmak ve bu etkinin işçi sınıfı hareketleri için olası anlamlarını irdeleyen bir ön çalışma yapmaktır. Daha özel olarak ise son yıllarda yoğunlaşan ve farklılaşan içgöç olgusunun sürekli ucuz ve örgütsüz bir emek arzı sağlayarak ülkede “parçalanmış bir işçi sınıfı” ortaya çıkarma eğilimi taşıyıp taşımadığını tartışmaya açmaktır. Ancak bir yandan bu konu üzerinde kapsamlı bir çalışmanın daha önce yapılmamış olması, diğer yandan ise bu tür konuları sağlıklı bir şekilde tartışmaya elverişli bilgilerin ve kuramsal yaklaşımların yokluğu elimizdeki bu çalışma için daha işin başından belirgin bir sınırlılığı dayatmaktadır.

Changing Dynamics Of The Migratory Regime Between Turkey And Arab Countries, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Changing Dynamics Of The Migratory Regime Between Turkey And Arab Countries, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Ibrahim Sirkeci
People from Turkey have been major participants in international migration for more than three decades. Hundreds of thousands have gone abroad since the early 1960s, particularly to Western Europe, but also, to a much lesser extent, to Australia, and later, in larger numbers than to Australia, to Arab countries, and more recently to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). This essay discusses trends and patterns in migration from Turkey to Arab countries since the late 1960s. It relates this migratory movement to the wider context of Turkish emigration. By examining the ongoing migration ties between Turkey and the receiving Arab …
“Migrations Of Ethnic Unmixing In The New Europe, Rogers Brubaker
“Migrations Of Ethnic Unmixing In The New Europe, Rogers Brubaker
Rogers Brubaker
To the extent that ethnicity or nationality has been relevant to the study of migrations to, from or within Europe in the last century and a half, the focus has been on migration as a 'heterogenizing' process, one important consequence of which has been to introduce or increase ethnic or national heterogeneity in the receiving countries. This article addresses a different, and neglected, link between migration and ethnicity or nationality in Europe. It explores migrations of "ethnic unmixing" or "ethnic affinity."
Themes That Thread Through Society: Racism And Athletic Manifestation In The African-American Community, Keith Harrison
Themes That Thread Through Society: Racism And Athletic Manifestation In The African-American Community, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
The purpose of this article is to examine and critically analyze the impact of sport in the African-American community. This critique of the social and behavioral outcomes of sport in the African-American community will include philosophical, historical, and sociological inquiry most affecting the plight of the African-American male in academics and athletics. Data on the perceptions of contemporary African-American men participating in sport in higher education will also add more support to the conclusion that race and sport are socially constructed in society.

Ethnic And Nationalist Violence, Rogers Brubaker, David Laitin
Ethnic And Nationalist Violence, Rogers Brubaker, David Laitin
Rogers Brubaker
Work on ethnic and nationalist violence has emerged from two largely nonintersecting literatures: studies of ethnic conflict and studies of political violence. Only recently have the former begun to attend to the dynamics of violence and the latter to the dynamics of ethnicization. Since the emergent literature on ethnic violence is not structured by clearly defined theoretical oppositions, we organize our review by broad similarities of methodological approach: (a) Inductive work at various levels of aggregation seeks to identify the patterns, mechanisms, and recurrent processes implicated in ethnic violence. (b) Theory-driven work employs models of rational action drawn from international …
The Relationship Between Drug Use And Labor Supply For Young Men, Michael T. French, Gary A. Zarkin, Thomas A. Mroz, Jeremy W. Bray
The Relationship Between Drug Use And Labor Supply For Young Men, Michael T. French, Gary A. Zarkin, Thomas A. Mroz, Jeremy W. Bray
Michael T. French
This paper examines the relationship between young men's hours worked and their use of marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, and other drugs using cross-section data from the 1991 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), a nationally representative survey of the U.S. noninstitutionalized population age 12 and over. Our results indicate that substance use has little effect on the number of hours worked by young men in the past month, with the exception that young men who smoked 1 to 3 marijuana joints in the last month worked 42 more hours than nonusers. To assess the robustness of our 1991 results, …
