Racism And The Canadian State, Daiva K. Stasiulis

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The practices and official discourse of a variety of state institutions in Canada have reflected a new level of "race consciousness" during the past five years. A notable development within the Canadian state has been the emergence at all levels of administrative and parliamentary institutions of new "race relations " and "visible minority" committees, liaison and consultative structures, programs, and commissions. Following a series of racially-motivated attacks within Toronto subways directed principally at South Asians, the Metropolitan Toronto Police and the Toronto Transit Commission jointly established a system designed to intercept attackers and prevent further incidents. A growing number of …

A.K.A. Pablo: Mexican American Images For Television, Norman L. Friedman

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The study of "minority group images in mass media" has been of considerable interest both to humanities and social science writers in the ethnic and media fields. Most investigations have focused upon the descriptive content of the minority portrayals, though a few have also dealt with related aspects of minority group reactions to images. Among the large volume of varied writings have been those which have considered minority group images in films, [1] images of Asian Americans in print and electronic media, [2] dissections of single television shows about minorities, [3] and responses of minority audiences and media critics to …

[Review Of] Charles C. Irby. The Celluloid Black: History Of Blacks In Film (Slide-Tape), Charles L. P. Silet

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Black actors, and more often than not white actors in blackface, appeared in stereotyped roles in American movies from the beginnings of the industry. Such classic directors as D.W. Griffith and John Ford mindlessly exploited blacks to counterpoint white supremacy and to bear the brunt of the focus of social and political change. Blacks, even more than American Indians, were the recipents [recipients] of the darker side of western irrationality. For example, intermarriage, long treated as a subtheme of Indian/white confrontation, met with virulent rejection in films which treated black/white relationships. Because of their growing numbers and because of long-standing …

Critique [Of A.K.A. Pablo: Mexican American Images For Television By Norman L. Friedman], Mary Beth Haralovich

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Norman Friedman's analysis of the short-lived sitcom, a.k.a. Pablo, raises many issues about the role of television in social life and the limited access of minorities to representation on television and to the decision-making processes of television programming. As his content analysis implicitly shows, the "situations" and the comedy of this sitcom were defined, set in motion, and revolved around various positions of Mexican Americans in relation to white culture and society. Pablo's Mexican jokes and flagrant stereotypical traits allowed him access to the world of show business and at the same time disturbed the self-perceptions and cultural pride of …

Cultural Differences In American And Southeast Asian Children's Psychosocial Development, Jacqueline Ulmen Zbaracki

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Observance of Southeast Asian parents and their preschool children during English as a Second Language (ESL) classes suggests that rethinking commonly held developmental phenomena in psychosocial development may produce insight into Southeast Asian culture and childrearing, middle class American culture and childrearing, and child development in general. Because it meets the needs of parents, the Des Moines Area Community College offers child care with ESL classes for refugees in the Ames, Iowa, area.[1] This article is based on observations from nearly five years of experience in the refugee nursery school with parents and young children. Children's ages range from two …

Critique [Of A.K.A. Pablo: Mexican American Images For Television By Norman L. Friedman], Charles L. P. Silet

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

There is no question that the television show a.k.a. Pablo was an important media event for the Mexican American community. All such prime time shows which deal with ethnic groups highlight minority problems and give visibility to peoples otherwise not dealt with in the mass media. Whether or not such shows create as many stereotypes as they dispel is another matter altogether.

[Review Of] Charles V. Willie. Race, Ethnicity, And Socioeconomic Status, Kimberly S. Hee

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The author examines the interrelations of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status through the presentation of a collection of his writings about blacks which have been reprinted from various sources. By reprinting this collection of works, Willie seeks to gain the opportunity to take "theoretical stock" of what he has learned through his involvements as a planner, student, teacher, researcher, administrator, policy maker, consultant, and concerned citizen. His aim is to link his work with others in the field, hoping to benefit from their clarification and correction. Willie's main objective is to articulate his theoretical conceptions about the field of race …

During the 1982-83 school year, the U.S . Department of Education released the report of the President's Commission on Excellence in Education. The report concluded that American education had deteriorated until there was "A Nation at Risk." The writer had also taken note of the fact that on international comparisons, American students were far behind Japanese in the areas of mathematics and in the sciences. He therefore decided to go to Japan and study their educational system. The …

Women In Ministry: 1853-1984, Leah Matthews

Honors Papers

The status and role of women in organized leadership positions in the Protestant church has reflected an American cultural basis for sex-typing the professions. Specifically, the ministry as an occupation has traditionally been thought of as a male occupation. Although the obstacles faced by women are usually justified or explained on doctrinal or theological grounds, it is my thesis that they are better accounted for by reference to secular conditions and status structures. This paper is concerned with the Christian ministry as a profession and the ways in which cultural attitudes and social forces have worked together to prevent women …

Six Problem-Soving Contexts For Intervention Decision Making, Ronald Lippitt

Six different organizational problem-confrontations present the Clinical Sociologist with a variety of intervention challenges. We identify these contexts as: Entropy Prevention, Creative Downsizing, Compliance with Regulations, Choosing Preferred Futures, Creating Conditions for Innovation, Facilitating Dissemination of Successful Practices. Several intervention strategies are presented, and some typical traps to avoid are identified. Some generic interventions that are needed in all six contexts are summarized.

Societal Influences On Sexual Dysfunctions: The Clinical Sociologist As Sex Educator, Abraham D. Lavender

Clinical Sociology Review

The traditional psychoanalytic approach to sexual dysfunctions deemphasizes societal factors as contributing to sexual dysfunctions The new approach to sex therapy, which has developed since 1970, emphasizes a diversity of factors, including societal factors. Sex education—following sex therapy—has now begun to recognize the area of sexual dysfunctions as a valid topic. Knowledge and understanding of the societal factors which directly or indirectly contribute to sexual dysfunctions can help people to change or better react to these factors. The clinical sociologist as a sex educator can and should make a major contribution to the prevention and correction of sexual dysfunctions.
