The Structure Of Party Solidarity In The Ontario Legislative Assembly, James Edward Twiss

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Between reactionaries and radicals a wide gulf exists in terms of political opinions. Within much narrower realms of conflict are the political issues which separate the body politic into contending groups. Within this narrower ideological spectrum a survey of the Twenty-Ninth Parliament of the Ontario Legislative Assembly was undertaken. This survey sought data on the attitudes of legislators towards various beliefs, interest groups, symbols and values. These efforts were made in order to test the existence of ideological differences between the present political parties of Ontario.

The responses to the ideological questions were manipulated to construct attitudinal patterns. The results …

Conflicting Perspectives And Policies: An Analysis Of The Failure Of The United Nations Capital Development Fund, Marjon Vashti Kamara

Masters Theses

The United Nations Capital Development Fund was established by the U. N. General Assembly under Resolution 2168 (XXI) of 13 December 1966. Its expressed purpose was to assist developing countries in the development of their economies by supplementing existing sources of capital assistance by means of grants and loans, particularly long-term loans made free of interest or at low interest rates.

More than its actual or potential role, the Fund has a symbolic meaning for the developing nations. To them, it represents the best hope of overcoming their problem of capital shortage. It symbolizes also the expected role of the …

Children And Political Socialization: Parental Influence On Children's Political Knowledge, Susan Piper

Student Scholarship

This research paper explores the process of political socialization, specifically examining how political orientations, attitudes, and values are transmitted from parents to children. The author argues that political beliefs begin to form much earlier than traditionally assumed, with the period between ten and eighteen months being critical for intellectual development and fifty percent of intelligence being set by age four. Because children are highly dependent on the family for physical and emotional needs, they readily adopt the political identities and value systems of their parents to gain approval and avoid conflict. 

The document includes a study of 235 children in …

The Reported Political Beliefs And Levels Of Political Participation Of Utah Educators, Richard Theisen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this thesis was to explore the political beliefs and extent of political participation of secondary and elementary teachers in the state of Utah. The relationship of sense of political efficacy and political participation for teachers as citizens and teachers as members of the teaching profession was investigated. The correlation of teacher as citizen political participation with teacher as professional political participation was also examined. Indexes measuring the teacher's sense of political efficacy, political participation, and extent to which they felt political behavior was professionally ethical were used. The data was gathered through personal interviews with a systematic …

Mormon Myth Or Monopoly: A Contemporary Study To Determine The Perceived Influence Of The Mormon Church On Utah Politics, Douglas S. Foxley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes, opinions, and beliefs of Utah residents concerning what role, if any, the L.D.S. Church should play in Utah politics; if they believe in the concept of a separation of church and state; whether they feel a separation of church and state exists in Utah; and how much influence they perceive the predominant faith of the state has on its politics.

Thus, the four following hypotheses were designed:

1. Utah residents will perceive that churches should be involved in moral, but not political issues.

2. Utah residents will perceive that there …

Articles written by honors program students. They were originally research projects, class papers or essays written for academic credit, but in each case the student has done further work editing and improving his or her manuscript for this publication. The articles represent a broad range of interests and disciplines, and they indicate a healthy attempt on the part of at least some students to dig for deeper knowledge and understanding than is usually associated with undergraduate study.

A Comparative Analysis Of The Student Movements In The United States And Japan, 1964-1970, Charlotte Jackson Lerch

Master's Theses

The basic question seems to be this: are there, indeed, any experiences similar enough to say that the basic causes of student unrest in the United States and Japan are the same? I would hypothesize that there are. It is my thesis that student unrest and the causes of student unrest in highly advanced countries are similar. While students may be dissatisfied with the same structures within their societies. Therefore, I intend to demonstrate in this paper, my thesis that student unrest and the cause of student unrest in modern countries are similar.

Rhetoric And Reality In American Political Pluralism : Jackson-Calhoun Controversy In Perspective, Margaret Spencer Wise

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The essential problem of politics are ancient general, and persistent. A particular political system, such as that of the United States, can be interpreted as a way of coping with recurring problems. Some of the ways a political system deals with problems may be unique, some commonplace. Because it meets its problems in a particular time and place with a special body of past experiences to go on, each political system is unique; so too the American system is unique. But because some problems have recurred ever since civilized men have tried to live together, every political system has had …

An Analysis Of The Effects Of Background Variables On Attitudes And Policy At The Bonneville Power Administration, Philip George Millam

Dissertations and Theses

The question is asked whether or not background, education, and training of middle and upper level bureaucratic personnel affects policy outcomes. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) serves as the agency examined. A written questionnaire sent to a random sample of BPA executives sought data on background variables with the intent of making comparisons. Most BPA executives are found to share very similar education and training backgrounds – namely, engineering studies at Northwest state universities. Also, attitudes measured are found to be more similar than different on most issues for the agency as a whole. This phenomenon is explained in terms …

An Analysis Of Democratic Voter-Leakage In Douglas County, Nebraska, William B. Huntington

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

In Douglas County, Nebraska the Democratic Party controls a majority according to the registration rolls, and yet the County rarely appears in the Democratic column after all the ballots are counted.It is a majority party on paper only; the raw material for building electoral victory is present, but the finished product is seldomly realized.The natural question which comes to mind is: Where do the Democrats disappear to on election day?

This work is a case study dealing with Democratic voter-leakage; it has two objectives to fulfill: 1) the presentation of original research on Democratic voter-leakage in Douglas County, Nebraska; and …

Lesson For America? England's Development Areas, Thomas G. Current

Dissertations and Theses

The work is a descriptive and comparative study of the British program for economically lagging regions of the country. The author's special interest was local participation in the central Government activity. Secondary sources of information on local aspects were in short supply, and the writer relied upon interviews and unpublished documents obtained on a visit to England to supplement published material. His extensive experience in the American development program also was utilized.

The study offers a classification of elements in the programs of the two countries and identifies comparable trends which have carried further in the British experience. The study …
