The United States And China: From Noncommunication To Diplomatic Relations, Mary Jeanne Patrick

Masters Theses

After more than two decades of fundamental differences due to lack of direct diplomatic relations, the People's Republic of China and the United States are developing a harmonious working relationship. Friendly relations between these two major nations began to improve in 1972 during President Richard Nixon's visit to China that had been arranged by Henry Kissinger, Assistant for National Security Affairs.

The purpose of this thesis is to show that nations can overcome their negative stereotyped images with one another when their leaders will enter into effective communication.

Chapter I considers the historical aspects of the Sino-American relationship.

The Soco-Legal History Of Child Abuse And Neglect: An Analysis Of The Policy Of Children's Rights, Diana M. Richett, James R. Hudson

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The focus of this paper is on the two major axes that have influenced the course of child welfare policy. One upholds corporal punishment as the predominant method of child rearing, that is, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." The other defines the status of the child as property of "loving" parents. Because of these two conceptions, the authors maintain that reliance on parental benevolence or the "benevolent intrusion" of the state will not suffice to protect the child's best interests. On the contrary, the examination of the socio-legal history of child abuse and neglect highlights the authors' warning that …

The School Library--The Alpha And Omega Of Your Elementary School Reading Program, Lea-Ruth C. Wilkens

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

No child in your school is ever too young to be introduced to the magic place called the library. Kindergartners in particular need to be surrounded with books, books and more books if we expect them to develop voracious appetites for the printed word. All children need to be saturated daily with stories which will stimulate their imagination and keep their curiosities amply nourished. For instance, an appreciation and sense oflanguage and word power can be cultivated very satisfactorily through the use of Mother Goose rhymes. The musical quality of these rhymes has rarely ever failed to tickle children's ears. …

Scheduling For A Differentiated Reading Program, Anne Polselli Sweet, Robert Lynn Canady

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A renewed impetus toward the improvement of reading instruction has been provided in great measure by the nationwide thrust toward educational accountability. Educators have been prompted to seek diverse means for improving reading instruction because of the realization that large numbers of average to high IQ children exhibit a discrepancy between capacity and performance scores. Supplementary instructional programs have been instituted; teacher in-service programs have been provided; paraprofessionals have been employed; teaching methodologies have been varied; learning centers have been constructed; management systems have been implemented; and new textbooks have been adopted. Altering the delivery of instruction, however, has been …

Work Place Collectives: A Strategy Toward Decentralized Democratic Socialism, David G. Gil

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

I explore in this essay a possible strategy for the transformation of democratic, capitalist states into decentralized, democratic, socialist societies. The strategy suggested here can be pursued now within the United States and similar nation-states whose formal legal frameworks provide for certain civil and political rights including freedom of speech, press, assembly, association and life-style, due process, etc. More specifically, I will examine the notion of voluntary, social, economic, and political collectives, and networks of such collectives, organized in and around existing urban and non-urban places of work -- fresh cells of participatory democracy and socialism within the aging, crises-ridden …
