Who Cares For The Sick Kids? Parents’ Access To Paid Time To Care For A Sick Child, Kristin Smith, Andrew P. Schaefer
Who Cares For The Sick Kids? Parents’ Access To Paid Time To Care For A Sick Child, Kristin Smith, Andrew P. Schaefer
Carsey Publications
This brief analyzes employed parents’ access to five or more paid sick days annually to care for a sick child in 2008. Using data from the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce collected by the Families and Work Institute (the most recent data available in the series), authors Kristin Smith and Andrew Schaefer analyze differences in access between employed mothers and fathers by demographic and work-related characteristics. They report that, in 2008, more than one-half—52 percent—of employed parents lacked access to at least five paid sick days to care for a sick child, and lower-earning parents had the least …
"Literal Translation" And The Materiality Of Language: Lu Xun As A Case, Wenjin Cui
"Literal Translation" And The Materiality Of Language: Lu Xun As A Case, Wenjin Cui
Languages, Literatures & Cultures
With his insistence upon the literal rendering in Chinese of foreign texts, especially regarding syntax, Lu Xun’s understanding of “literal translation” strikes a rather distinct note in the modern Chinese literary scene. The intention behind this method, namely, the aim to “retain the tone of the original,” reveals a generative perception of language that takes language as not just the bearer of the already existent thought, but as the formative element of thought that has meaning in itself. This paper seeks to delineate the structural constitution of the materiality of language as grasped by Lu Xun. By comparing the notion …

Accountability As Cultural Keyword, Melvin J. Dubnick
Accountability As Cultural Keyword, Melvin J. Dubnick
Faculty Publications
This paper examines “accountability” as a cultural phenomenon, and specifically as what Raymond Williams termed a “cultural keyword.” Williams designates as keywords those terms in a community’s vocabulary that not only provide meaningful insights into the priorities and values of that society, but also play a significant role in creating the dynamic cultural milieu that connects and shapes important and problematic social arenas. After positing that accountability has achieved cultural keyword status, I explore the term as a word, concept and speech act. (This is revision dated 5/23/2012.)

Experiencing Bullying Between Genders: A Quantitative Study Done At Unh, Kiley Schlieper
Experiencing Bullying Between Genders: A Quantitative Study Done At Unh, Kiley Schlieper
Perspectives
Many studies have focused on the issue of bullying; however, few have specifically done research on the experience of bullying in a college setting between genders. This study was conducted at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) where 312 undergraduates enrolled in sociology classes were surveyed. There were significant results that supported that almost half of UNH undergraduate females who reported experienced bullying also reported they have experienced being emotionally bullied by other females. UNH undergraduate males also reported a significant incidence of physical bullying perpetrated by others males. Further research, including a more representative sample would improve findings.
Individualism, Environmentalism And Social Change, Alex Chelstowski
Individualism, Environmentalism And Social Change, Alex Chelstowski
Perspectives
Market logic encourages the idea everything can be bought and sold, and in effect creates an individualized society. This individualization affects consumption habits, environmental action, and social change. It argues that many green consumer products are not solutions to our environmental crises, but mask the larger institutional problems that have led to environmental degradation and diminished civic participation. Society needs to reframe what it means to be environmentally sustainable. In order to generate lasting sustainable social change, action needs to come from community awareness and participation to influence social forces and structures that impact the environment.
A Comparative Examination Of Suicide Rates Among Hetero- & Homosexual Adolescents And Young Adults, Arianna Schaaff
A Comparative Examination Of Suicide Rates Among Hetero- & Homosexual Adolescents And Young Adults, Arianna Schaaff
Perspectives
The focus of this literature review will be on the comparison of suicide rates between heterosexual and homosexual adolescents and young adults (ages 14-24), and the possible contributing factors. Age, the degree to which adolescents are open with their sexual identity, and the social support they receive are examined as contributing factors to the cited differences in suicide rates across sexual orientation identities. In this literature review, I will conclude that suicide rates are higher among homosexual adolescents and young adults; however, this significant difference disappears once the individuals enter adulthood. Researchers may pursue this relationship In order to find …
Unh Undergraduate Students’ Attitudes Toward Bisexuality, Alli Puchlopek
Unh Undergraduate Students’ Attitudes Toward Bisexuality, Alli Puchlopek
Perspectives
Although many studies primarily discuss gay men and lesbian women, very few have focused on the bisexual population. The few previous studies conducted about bisexuality show that many people have negative attitudes toward bisexuality. This study examines the effects of gender and sexual orientation on attitudes toward bisexuality. 378 students at the University of New Hampshire took surveys asking whether they believed bisexuality was a legitimate sexual orientation. The data showed no statistically significant differences in attitudes between men, women, or other sexual orientations. However, the majority of students in general believed that bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation. Another …
Race Differences In The Perception Of African American Inclusion On The Unh Campus, Kelby Mackell
Race Differences In The Perception Of African American Inclusion On The Unh Campus, Kelby Mackell
Perspectives
Previous research has shown that people of racial minorities feel that white people don’t understand how they feel in a community setting. This present study investigates whether students of racial minorities feel that black acceptance on the UNH campus is different than the way that white students view the acceptance of black students. A sample of 326 undergraduate students was surveyed to see how they perceived the acceptance of black on the UNH campus. The data was expanded to include how students of all races feel, not just white students and black students, because the N of black students was …
Teen Magazines And Parents: Their Impacts On Adolescent Female Sexual Scripts And Contraception, Audrey Hickey
Teen Magazines And Parents: Their Impacts On Adolescent Female Sexual Scripts And Contraception, Audrey Hickey
Perspectives
This literature review examines how magazines and parents portray cultural ideas about sex, how girls use these ideas to understand their own sexuality, and how these ideas impact their contraceptive use in interpersonal relationships. Simon and Gagnon’s Sexual Script Theory is used as a theoretical framework to explain these three levels of sexual scripts: cultural, interpersonal and personal. American teen magazines and parents are compared with their Western European counterparts to illustrate how cultural presentation of sex impacts contraceptive use. In the United States, where there were 41.5 births per 1,000 to girls aged 15-19 in 2008, sex is portrayed …
The Effects Of Income, Gender, Parental-Involvement On The Education Of Children With Single-Parent And Step-Parent Families, Halie Olszowy
The Effects Of Income, Gender, Parental-Involvement On The Education Of Children With Single-Parent And Step-Parent Families, Halie Olszowy
Perspectives
This literature review examines the findings of various authors on the topics of family structure and educational success. By examining the dynamics of income, gender, and parental involvement within both single-parent and step-parent families, we are able to better understand how those three dynamics vary between both single- and step-parent families and may cause differences academically for children living in those family structures. Reviewing the literature, we are able to determine that there are differences between single- and step-parent families in terms of income, gender, and parental involvement. Unclear though, is whether or not, over time, it is most beneficial …
The Female Perspective Of Hooking-Up On College Campuses, Maura Gallagher
The Female Perspective Of Hooking-Up On College Campuses, Maura Gallagher
Perspectives
Hooking-up is a new trend in the lives of today’s young adults. It has become the most common heterosexual form of a relationship on college campuses. But what exactly is hooking-up? According to social scientist, hooking-up is “a sexual encounter, usually lasting only one night, between two people who are strangers or brief acquaintances.” This literary review will look at the social norms, benefits, and personal factors that have caused many students to make the switch from traditional dating to hooking-up. Some of the serious consequences that can go along with hooking-up for females are depression, unplanned pregnancy, and sexually …
Labeling Theory And The Effects Of Sanctioning On Delinquent Peer Association: A New Approach To Sentencing Juveniles, Nathaniel Ascani
Labeling Theory And The Effects Of Sanctioning On Delinquent Peer Association: A New Approach To Sentencing Juveniles, Nathaniel Ascani
Perspectives
This is a review of contemporary theory and studies published in various scholarly journals regarding the labeling effect of criminal justice system involvement at a young age on offenders. Drawing on studies that have taken place over the past several decades in order to increase the generalizability of the conclusions, this paper discusses the relationship between formal sanctioning and delinquent peer association among offenders. Results from the studies lend support to the tenets of labeling theory. They also suggest that the relative rate of increased recidivism among offenders is positively correlated with an operationalized measure of their “stakes in conformity” …
The Effects Of Working For Pay During The School Year On Academic Achievement, Mackenzie Keene
The Effects Of Working For Pay During The School Year On Academic Achievement, Mackenzie Keene
Perspectives
Are college students who hold paying jobs systematically disadvantaged in terms of academic achievement? This study draws on a sample of 340 undergraduate students at a large public university to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Socioeconomic status was measured by the presence of a paid job during the school year, and achievement was measured using GPA. The findings indicate that students who worked during the school year were less likely to be “A” students than students who did not work during the school year. This relationship was more pronounced for female college students than for male …
The Effects Of Social Integration On Stress And Risk Of Depression In College Students, Cristina Calderan
The Effects Of Social Integration On Stress And Risk Of Depression In College Students, Cristina Calderan
Perspectives
This study looks at how college students’ levels of social integration in the campus community affects their feelings of stress and depression. The sample of undergraduate students (N = 378) completed a survey designed to measure various social aspects of college life. Four questions which demonstrated a relationship between social integration and depression were specifically used to obtain data for this study. However, this study found no significance relating social integration and stress. Further research would benefit from a more focused research question as well as a stratified sampling method.
The Impact Of Multilingualism On Gpa Among College Undergraduates, Alexandra Kovalik
The Impact Of Multilingualism On Gpa Among College Undergraduates, Alexandra Kovalik
Perspectives
Very little research is available regarding the effects that multilingualism has on academic success. This specific study looks at 305 students at a large public university in the northeast who were surveyed about their grade point average and the number of languages that they are fluent in. After administering a survey to various preselected classrooms, data was entered and collated using STATA. The data shows that within our findings, there is no significant relationship between multilingualism and grade point average. Only 12% of our respondents were multilingual. 71% of multilingual students had a grade point average between 2.67 and 3.66, …
Influential Factors Contributing To College Student Spending Habits And Credit Card Debt, Kristi Leclerc
Influential Factors Contributing To College Student Spending Habits And Credit Card Debt, Kristi Leclerc
Perspectives
This paper explores how access to credit, familiarity with debt and financial education, socialization agents and social identities, academic performance, and financial aid and family income influence college student spending habits and credit card debt. Being in credit card debt is common for many college students, but exploring the specific factors that contribute may help prevent future generations of students from participating in unhealthy spending habits and accumulating credit card debt. After a close comparison of eleven studies, I was able to conclude that easy access to credit cards makes students susceptible to accumulating debt. Students who perform poorly academically, …

Child And Youth Victimization Known To Police, School, And Medical Authorities., David Finkelhor, Richard Ormrod, Heather Turner, Sherry L. Hamby
Crimes Against Children Research Center
Presents the survey results from the National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV) regarding authorities' knowledge of victimization incidents involving children and youth, particularly police, school, and medical authorities. Compared with a similar study in the early 1990s, the survey found that authorities were more likely to know about NatSCEV survey participants' exposure to violence, which may reflect efforts by authorities, criminal justice and child protection agencies, and advocates to promote disclosure. This increase in disclosure is also consistent with the decrease in child victimizations during the last two decades. The survey found that 46 percent of children who …
