New Forms Of Heterosexual Marriage And Mating, Robert Lundy

Honors Theses

One third to one half of marriages are destined to end in a divorce court. However, in the de jure system or orders, monogamous marriage is the only accepted form with sexual behavior limited thereto. The nuclear family is the economic and residential unit. The expectation is that the marriage should last for the lifetime of the spouses, although increasingly there are provisions for exceptional cases termed failure. Other popular expectations are that the woman will be the socializing agent and the male will be the economic agent. This thesis explores the changing nature of families and marriage.

An Analysis Of Conceptual Color Matching, James T. Northrop

Masters Theses

The key pecking responses of six pigeons were reinforced in the presence of a bisected response key when both halves were of equal wavelength; responses to non-matching presentations were not reinforced. Subsequent generalization tests involving novel non-matching stimuli were conducted in extinction. The results indicated the acquisition of a conceptual color matching discrimination; however, post-discrimination training peak shifts may interfere with the demonstration of the concept of color matching.

General Education: What Type Of Structure?, Woodburn O. Ross, Lawrence E. Taliana, Harold Schroeder

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 1 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting, which was held at Southern Illinois University, October 21^st through 23^rd, 1971.

General Education And Specialization: Are They Meeting The Needs Of Society?, Midge Smith, Midori Y. Banks

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 2 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting, which was held at Southern Illinois University, October 21^st through 23^rd, 1971.

The needs of society will best be met when the needs of all its members are being met.

Do general education and specialized education meet the needs of contemporary society? It is easier to evaluate specialized education. As to general education, we must first ask ourselves pertinent questions, such as "What are we actually expecting general and liberal education to do?"

General Education And The Quality Of Human Living, Thomas J. Musial

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Because Willis Nutting is now also my good friend and neighbor, I have had the continuing good fortune of watching him implement the precepts of his book. He has never allowed me to forget that a man is a person before he is a civic leader or an expert, and that it is therefore more sensible for educators to give priority of concern to the man himself, so that if possible he may become wise and understanding. He has convinced me that it is by no means certain that the kind of training necessary to make a man a specialist …

Violence And General Education, Alan Downes, Wolf D. Fuhrig, J. Warrren Brinkman, John Noonan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

In this era when technology transforms the world at an accelerating pace, offering us ever-larger magnitudes of potential disaster, it is questionable whether my students can survive the next fifty years if they remain in the grip of the traditional orthodoxies, the folk knowledge, the myths which allow the same elites to retain control. Only if my students are trained to order their priorities and test their predictions free of the covert command and metaphysical traps of ideological language-only then can they see the alternative options open to them. The ambient status quo is, after all, merely one violent option. …

Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the shortcomings in a consideration of the idea of study is the fact that it is defined in various ways in the minds of various teachers. The weakest notion of the word would be demonstrated in a teacher's assignment that said "study the next ten pages for tomorrow" and said nothing else. In all likelihood, students would under stand it to mean read the pages mentioned. An assignment which means "a process involving the acquisition of knowledge" from these pages would have to be accompanied by a guide sheet to point out the expected learnings and the supporting …

The University, The Student And The Wizard Of Oz, Lynwood H. Bartley

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The teacher who demonstrates that choice is inevitable in the human situation and helps each student realize his responsibility to choose what he becomes, is doing an inestimable service for his students. Having become aware of this choice, the student learns that he has more control over what he sees, what he does, and how he interprets.

I do not assume that making someone aware presumes the absence of facts; I do assume the interrelation between facts. I do not want to see teaching or learning as a process move any further in the direction described by Marshall McLuhan, who …

General Education And Violence, Louis J. Andolino, John H. Humphries

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Since the issue of violence is of such paramount concern to the American public, it constitutes a pertinent topic for academic discussion and analysis. Because the topic of violence is an interesting and important issue of the day, germane to many fields, including general education, it was decided that the theme of this year's Association of General and Liberal Studies Conference would be General Education and Violence. This conference will be held on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York on October 26-28, 1972.

Violence And The Arts, Doris Hunter, Robert Golden

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Let us take each level of art, give an illustration or two from utopian literature and then see its relationship to the presence of violence or nonviolence within the social framework.

In addressing myself to this question of whether the arts could flourish in a nonviolent society, I would like, for the purposes of clarity and simplification, to restrict myself to a discussion of the relation of physical violence and the arts. There is, of course, such a thing as psychological or symbolic violence, but it is a kind of violence which is difficult to define with any reasonable degree …
