Emile Durkheim And The Categories Of The Understanding, Barbara Patricia Hostetler

Sociology ETDs

In The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, Emile Durkheim attempts to demonstrate the social character of the categories of the understanding--concepts such as space, time, causation, etc. The present study is devoted to clarification of this account of the categories. It is proposed that Durkheim's account of the relation between the categories and society may be understood more clearly by interpreting his categorial formulation as one concerned with the origin of the categories, not in an absolute, but in a relative sense of .. origin." To show that this is the case, the proposition "the categories are social in …

The Quality Of Life In A Midwestern Rural Community, James E. Bodensteiner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis is based on the following assumptions: (a) that the kind of community in which people live affects their sense of well-being, (b) that a community should provide certain qualities for its residents in order that they may enjoy an optimum quality of life, (c) that many large urban population centers are failing to provide the environment for this desired quality of life, and (d) that rural communities are and have been on the decline as population and business centers in the United States. In view of these assumptions this study attempted to discover whether the small rural community …

Publications

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Neighborhood Mobilization in Black Omaha: Some Observations," by Kwame Poku Annor.

The decade of the sixties was a period of major economic, political, and social change in large central cities; yet few major institutional innovations were adopted to enable the cities to cope more effectively with the new conditions. The failure of central cities to solve their more pressing problems and rising expectations among the disadvantaged led to agitation for major reform in the institutions of municipal government.

Social Welfare Texts: A Study In The Sociology Of Knowledge, Leslie Leighninger

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Excerpt from the full-text article:

Do existing social work texts contribute to a student's recognition of professional values and issues and of the implicit ideological bases for these? The following study contends that they do not, and that their failures are quite similar to those found by Mills in his examination social pathology texts.

The books examined here are all designed to be used in basic undergraduate and graduate courses on the structure and function of social welfare institutions. The survey includes both widely adopted books and recent texts in the field. The books chosen for this study appear, in …

The Sociology Of Client Alienation In Relation To Societal Structure, William D. Poe, Jerry H. Borup

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

STUDY DESIGN

The purpose of the present study is to explore the relationship between client alienation and efforts by the social work profession to intervene in behalf of the welfare poor. Specifically, this investigation focuses on the ideas, proposals, and studies that have appeared in the social work literature that would indicate efforts by social workers to increase or decrease client alienation. Social work is practiced primarily in agency and organizational settings. Attention will be given to the nature of these structures to determine how they affect client alienation and prevent social workers from relieving alienation. The dimensions of client …

Denominational Differences In Attitude Toward Abortion, Sharon Cropper

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In recent years there has been a break in a long "conspiracy of silence" on the subject of abortion, and attitude toward abortion has come to demand a great deal of public attention. The year 1967 marked the first changes in the abortion-prohibition laws of the United States in three-quarters of a century. And in early 1973, the United States Supreme Court, for all practical purposes, legalized abortion. The gist of the Supreme Court's ruling was that, except in very limited circumstances, government may not deter the right to abortion at will. Reaction to the Court's decision has been forthcoming …

Attitudes Of Foreign Students Toward Missions, Donald R. Roy

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

In 1969 research was conducted by Professor Betty Stirling of the Department of Sociology at Loma Linda University on the attitudes of SDA college students in North America and Australia toward missions. This research was directed primarily to Western students--students who were considered prospective missionaries and on whom the future of missions rested. My research continued this theme, but it was concerned with the attitudes of those individuals to whom the mission program was directed, nationals of all the world mission fields, toward missions.

This population was limited to include foreign students enrolled at Loma Linda University. A random sample …

The objectives of this study were to measure net in- or out-migration to or from the Standard Metropolitan Areas of Utah between 1950-60 and 1960-70, and to study selected socio-economic factors relating to migration and the growth of SMSA's. Specifically, the factors of migration and natural population increase were central in an analysis of population redistribution. Selected demographic characteristics of the migrants such as sex and age were also studied to establish their impact upon the SMSA population structure. The relationship between population change in the SMSA's and economic factors of labor force supply and employment were also reviewed.

Black Family Structures And Functions: An Empirical Examination Of Some Suggestions Made By Billingsley, J. Allen Williams Jr., Robert Stockton

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Andrew Billingsley in Black Families in White America has criticized much of the previous research on the black family, saying that social scientists have ignored the structural variation among families and have focused on a very limited number of family functions. To correct what he believes to be a distorted picture of the black family, he has suggested a typology of family structures and a large number of family functions which should be taken into consideration. This paper, based upon data collected from 321 black households, uses Billingsley’s typology to examine the association between family structures and functions. It is …

The Effects Of Overcrowded Housing On The Academic Performance Of Student Populations, John D. Turner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the spring and summer of every year the housing offices of many colleges and universities seek to prepare for the fall term. In colleges with increasing enrollments often a problem exists in housing all the students who have applied for housing. This problem is further complicated in colleges and universities where residency on campus is considered to be an integral part of the objectives and philosophy surrounding their educational offering.

The Significance Of Treater Competence In Either Behavior Modification Or Transactional Analysis Treatment Of Juvenile Offenders, Paul Mccormick

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Results of the Youth Center Research Project were almost equally favorable for each other's two schools. The parole-violation rates of the wards released from both institutions dropped from 43% to 31%, a considerable improvement when compared with the two control California Youth Authority schools continuing failure rate of 46%. These figures were for twelve-month parole-exposure periods. But the study’s major hypotheses were not verified. The more mature youths did not do better with TA than with B Mod, and the lower-maturity wards did no better with B Mod. In fact, one classification of higher-maturity wards did a little better with …
