Cultural Commentary: Coping With Adolescence, Margery A. Kranyik Jun 1987

Cultural Commentary: Coping With Adolescence, Margery A. Kranyik

Bridgewater Review

Growing up in an adult world is not an easy task for young people today. While experiencing the stress involved in the progression through puberty, teenagers must also seek to develop some sense of who they are, sometimes called personal identity. This complex developmental process is often thwarted by social and economic factors that affect teenage behavior.

The Economic Status Of Older Women In Massachusetts, Elba Caraballo, Nita Goldstein May 1987

The Economic Status Of Older Women In Massachusetts, Elba Caraballo, Nita Goldstein

Gerontology Institute Publications

This report presents a list of current state legislative initiatives which directly or indirectly, affect older women in Massachusetts.

Despite the progress made by the Commonwealth in the area of elder services, a significant portion of this population continues to live in dire need. It is important that State Legislators, State Administrators, policymakers and community leaders understand the needs of this population and work to increase the financial resources and enhance the dignity of older women in the Commonwealth.


Not For Poverty Alone: Foster Care Population Trends In The Twentieth Century, Leroy H. Pelton May 1987

Not For Poverty Alone: Foster Care Population Trends In The Twentieth Century, Leroy H. Pelton

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Trends in the size of the national foster care population from 1910 to 1983 are examined in the context of child welfare policy toward dependent and neglected children. Several major turning points in the child placement rate are identified, and the reasons for them are explored. The relationship between poverty and foster care placement is discussed, and it is concluded that the child placement rate is not related to the poverty rate, but rather, to how our society chooses to intervene with the children of families living in poverty.

The Movement Action Plan: A Strategic Framework Describing The Eight Stages Of Successful Social Movements, Bill Moyer Apr 1987

The Movement Action Plan: A Strategic Framework Describing The Eight Stages Of Successful Social Movements, Bill Moyer

Strategy and Social Movements Collection

Social movements are collective actions in which the populace is alerted, educated, and mobilized, over years and decades, to challenge the powerholders and the whole society to redress social problems or grievances and restore critical social values. By involving the populace directly in the political process, social movements also foster the concept of government of, by, and for the people. The power of movements is directly proportional to the forcefulness with which the grassroots exert their discontent and demand change. The central issue of social movements, therefore, is the struggle between the movement and the powerholders to win the hearts …

The Impact Of Cultural Patterns On Cognition And Intention In Singapore, Chin Tiong Tan, John U. Farley Mar 1987

The Impact Of Cultural Patterns On Cognition And Intention In Singapore, Chin Tiong Tan, John U. Farley

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Ethnicity of models used in advertisements and the advertised product's country of origin are manipulated experimentally to study how attitudes toward advertising and products lead to behavioral intention. A sample of Singaporean students' traditional Eastern values about family and conformity are also examined. Patterns of results for three products are consistent with theoretical predictions of cognitive processes, and attitude-intention links appear stronger than do those in similar tests in the West. Culture has mixed effect.

Sex Role Socialization In Picture Books: An Update, J. Allen Williams Jr., Joetta Vernon, Martha C. Williams, Karen Malecha Mar 1987

Sex Role Socialization In Picture Books: An Update, J. Allen Williams Jr., Joetta Vernon, Martha C. Williams, Karen Malecha

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

In a content analysis of children’s picture books, Weitzman et al, (1972) found females depicted far less often than males, and those females who were included tended to play traditional, stereotypical roles. The present study updates this research. Findings indicate that, while the ratio of females to males is now closer to parity, storybook characters continue to walk the well-worn paths of tradition.


Individual Experience And Critical Consciousness: Sources Of Social Change In Everyday Life, David G. Gil Mar 1987

Individual Experience And Critical Consciousness: Sources Of Social Change In Everyday Life, David G. Gil

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Social scientists tend to interpret social change as the result of collective action. However, all collective action is at some level and time initiated and carried out by individuals, who, of course, are rooted in particular social contexts. A theory of social change needs to derive, therefore, not only from the study of collective action, but also from the study of individual initiation of, and involvement in, social change oriented practice.

The following observations on individual involvement in social change practice are based on personal experience and study over several decades. They are not a theory of social change but …

Job Match: Together For Good Business - Accommodating Individuals With Special Needs In The Workplace, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

The purpose of this module is to explain the systematic process needed to successfully employ people with special needs (individuals with disabilities and older individuals). This process may seem most useful to job developers and job coaches whose primary role is vocational training and job development. However, much of the material, particularly the chapters on job analysis (3), job matching (4), and adaptations (5) will be equally useful to employers. This training kit provides information that allows businesses, industries, and employing agencies to work cooperatively to design training and employment programs that meet the needs of individuals with special needs, …
