A Study Of Rock Music To Determine Its Declared Position Relative To Unchastity, The Use Of Drugs And The Departure From Traditional Concepts Of Family And Religion, E. Lynn Balmforth

Theses and Dissertations

One of the social phenomena of our time (1960s) has been the popularization of a kind of music among the youth known as rock 'n' roll. It was the intent of this study to determine if the medium of rock did, in fact, maintain a posture of promulgating unchastity, the use of drugs and departure from traditional concepts of family and religion.

Supported by statements from leading rock musicians it was found that the big beat had a cultural root in the Negroid race. Coupling the big beat gospel rhythms of the south with the white country and western music, …

An Analysis Of Level Of Activity As It Relates To Information Source And Two-Step Flow Of Communication In A Formal Organization, Carma Lois Wadley

Theses and Dissertations

There is a model of political communication which was developed by Elihu Katz and Paul F.

It will be the purpose of this study to look deeper into this problem. The specific formal organization discussed will be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
A study of this nature will have significance …

An Experimental Theatre Approach To A Mormon Theme Using The Work Of The Open Theatre As Prototype, Dionis C. Spitzer

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to discover those experimental theatre techniques which can best express a Mormon theme: that one must become as a child to enter the kingdom of God. This thesis concludes from the resultant production, An Afternoon's Work, that certain theatrical techniques are powerful tools for the expression of any theme; that the work of the Open Theatre can be used for Mormon ends as long as the actor and director know exactly what they want to say and refine the techniques for that purpose.

The ideology behind experimental theatres such as the Open Theatre …

Master's Theses

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of introducing and operating video players in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for religious instruction.

Importance of the Study

The first two waves of the electronic appliance age have left an indelible mark on mankind. In some countries there are more radio receivers than people and more television sets than bathtubs. Now the third wave, the video player, is about to break upon us, and it could transform as dramatically as the first two the cultural habits of the world. Even skeptics are now willing to concede …

The purpose of this project was to establish an instructional materials program and center in the Snake River Seminary District to provide the equipment, materials, and technical skill necessary to enable local production of teacher conceived instructional aids.

The equipment and services to be included in the IMC were determined by a survey of teachers' desires and by recommendations from the District Audiovisual Committee, and then funds were raised by a special district project to procure them.

Master of Divinity Thesis

The purpose of this paper, first of all, is to examine the many problems faced by the people living in town and country communities. By citing various authorities on the rural church, I will demonstrate how these problems also affect the church in town and country.
