Offense Perceived, Appropriate Actions And Possible Solutions: A Research Of Censorship, Sharon K. Van Poolen

Masters Theses

Students at Western Michigan University were asked via a survey to read lyrics and indicate an offensiveness rating. Lyrics containing vulgar or sexual language or derogatory statements about religion received higher offensive ratings. Actions deemed acceptable in response to offensive lyrics include picketing and boycotting. Prevalent themes identified in the lyrics are antagonism toward religion, sexism and unhealthy sexual relations. Groups cited most frequently as potentially harmed by lyrics are children 5-12, adolescents and women. Respondents were questioned about participation in certain activities and what alternatives to direct censorship are acceptable. Most would prefer to be involved indirectly, for example, …

Rule Of Law In Legal And Economic Theory, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

Legal positivism, the leading version of legal theory, has shown that a concentration on the meanings and logical relations of legal concepts, however much supplemented by intuition, common sense and legal experience, is not adequate to make full sense out of the human experience of law, and the traditional understandings of legal obligation and rule of law in particular. However, modern economic science has advanced a radically individualistic theoretical approach which has propelled economics to the fore as the most successful of the social sciences. And its basic theoretical stance is proving both attractive and adaptable to all the other …

Abortion In The American Political Process, Christine Blaisdell

Whittier Scholars Program

The purpose of this paper is to examine the evolution of the abortion issue in the United States, more directly, how the three branches of federal government have used their constitutional powers to effect change in abortion policy. This is a topic of interest for a variety of reasons; abortion is a highly volatile and controversial issue that has sparked the interest of the American people to become politically active. In addition, it is a concern that has demanded the attention of our leaders and simply cannot be laid to rest due to the millions of vocal and politically active …

Older Americans' Attitudes Toward The Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act Of 1988, Christine L. Day

Political Science Faculty Publications

Congress repealed the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988, which expanded Medicare benefits, after vigorous protests by groups of older people nationwide. Surveys show, however, that older Americans were deeply divided in their opinions. This study examines four explanations for divisions among the elderly on this issue: symbolic politics, socioeconomic status, distrust in government, and direct self-interest. The results of probit analysis indicate that high income, younger age (under 75), Republican partisanship, and distrust in government all contributed to older Americans' opposition to government catastrophic health care coverage. Direct self-interest—that is, perceived direct impact on one's own taxes and benefits—was …

Effects Of Defendant Attractiveness On Juror Decision Making, Mary Lewis-Downey

Whittier Scholars Program

In a review of 30 different studies the hypotheses was presented that a defendant’s attractiveness will be a determinant in jury decision making. Attractiveness is known to have positive and rewarding factors attributed to it, so it is natural to believe that people might react more positively towards someone who is attractive than someone who is unattractive. The main technique used in the studies to research this phenomenon was the jury simulation technique. While there were a few studies that had negative results, most of the studies reviewed found that the attractiveness of the defendant was a significant factor in …

Democratic Discussion, Don Herzog, Donald R. Kinder

Book Chapters

"Democracy," remarked H. L. Mencken, "is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." Mencken found American politics a droll spectacle and showered contempt on the dullards he named "the booboisie." Plenty of other intelligent and perceptive observers have concluded that ordinary citizens are flatly incapable of shouldering the burdens of democracy. Uninformed and uninterested, absorbed in the pressing business of private life, unable to trace out the consequences of political action, citizens possess neither the skills nor the resources required for what Walter Bagehot pithily named "government by discussion." …

Resistance And The Possibility Of Freedom: Foucault, Merleau-Ponty And Subjectivity In Tension, Joshua Ziady

Honors Papers

Charles Taylor chose to begin his 1984 critique of Michel Foucault with the phrase "Foucault disconcerts." This seems to be a most appropriate choice of words. Reading Foucault changes the way one looks at things. His work, both in style and content, subtly erodes assurances and certainties, leaving one with the feeling of standing at the edge of a cliff in complete darkness with the knowledge that there is something out there without being able to grasp that something-yet without fear of falling off the cliff. The reader is left with an unexplainable gap in understanding where before there was …
