Teaching Ethics At The Primary Level, Joseph R. Sanok
Teaching Ethics At The Primary Level, Joseph R. Sanok
Honors Theses
Over the last century, the teaching of ethics in primary schools has changed greatly. The greatest influence upon public schools has been the shift in parents' attitudes towards teaching ethics in the school setting. Parents have progressively wanted to have more control over their child's ethical learning, thus becoming more critical of the teaching of ethics within public schools. This has led to greater input from parents. Christian ethics had long been the yardstick for ethical teachings, although in 1962 in the Engel v. Vitale case, school prayer was ruled unconstitutional, removing Christian views from the school setting. As a …

Anger And Reconciliation: Relations Between The United States And India, 1953-1956, Tom Donahue
Anger And Reconciliation: Relations Between The United States And India, 1953-1956, Tom Donahue
Honors Theses
When Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected President of the United States in 1952, America held its breath to see how a Republican administration would handle the Cold War. By 1952, due particularly to the costs of the Korean conflict, enthusiasm for President Harry Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson's policy of "containment" of Communism reached new lows. Eisenhower had been elected with a mandate from the citizenry: to get tough on communism. The candidate and his advisers were determined to prove to the Communists that the United States had rurned over a new leaf. There would be no more …
Reactions To Failure In Gender Non-Traditional Occupations, Wendy S. Kelly
Reactions To Failure In Gender Non-Traditional Occupations, Wendy S. Kelly
Honors Theses
People are often called upon to make decisions about someone with whom they are unfamiliar. While not always the norm, in a business situation, managers frequently base those decisions on information presented to them by a third party. This study was an attempt to ascertain whether participants in the role of manager would punish female stimulus persons who fail at a masculine occupation, and if they would be reluctant to hire another female to the same masculine job. The occupations of nurse and pilot were used as traditionally female and male occupations, respectively. Participants read scenarios and assumed the role …
Effects Of Caffeine And Lateralized Emotional Distractors On Vigilance Performance, Tara L. Worley
Effects Of Caffeine And Lateralized Emotional Distractors On Vigilance Performance, Tara L. Worley
Honors Theses
Caffeine is the most popular psychotropic drug (Smith & Tola, 1998) and is known to be used for its stimulating effects (Benowitz, 1990) as well as its enhancing effects on sustained attention (Smith, 1994, & Rusted, 1994). Effects of caffeine on attention and performance tasks have been studied quite extensively. Results have varied, but caffeine has generally been found to enhance attention and improve performance. An aspect yet to be studied is the effects of caffeine on vigilance performance given emotionally distracting stimuli. The focus of this paper is on the effects of caffeine on vigilance performance as well as …

A divorced family was defined as one in which the parents have divorced and includes those who remain single after the divorce and those where one or both parents have remarried. An intact family was defined as one in which the parents were currently married to each other and had never been divorced from each other. Participants included 102 Southern Illinois University undergraduate students enrolled in a introductory psychology course who participated for course …

Fighting Aids With Holistic Weapons: An Integrated Approach, Tom Goodwin
Fighting Aids With Holistic Weapons: An Integrated Approach, Tom Goodwin
Honors Theses
The current AIDS epidemic has changed the way we view the world as well as our society as a whole. Diseases have ravaged humanity since the dawn of time, so what makes AIDS so much different from every other disease encountered by man? One reason is its transmission method. We know that HIV passes from person to person via blood, semen, and vaginal secretions. Most people that suffer from this disease contract it during sex, during intravenous drug use, or during a blood transfusion. Early accounts of HIV disease occurred in minority groups, namely homosexual men. This may have bee …

American Holocaust Films: A Case Study In Jewish American Identity (1937-1993), Jeff Daniels
American Holocaust Films: A Case Study In Jewish American Identity (1937-1993), Jeff Daniels
Honors Theses
When examining the image of the Jew in American Holocaust films, one is truly determining how American Jews view themselves. These films' presentation of Jews exposes not only how Jewish Americans wished to see themselves but also how much Gentile Americans wanted to see of Jewish culture. An exploration of America's Holocaust films from the late 1930s to the early 1990s reveals an increasing concentration of Jews as the main victims of the event. The degree to which this specificity is emphasized exhibits how much the American public accepted Jews and their plight. At the same time, the prevalence of …
European Integration And The Expansion Of The European Union: Identity Formation In Europe, Aaron P. Boesenecker
European Integration And The Expansion Of The European Union: Identity Formation In Europe, Aaron P. Boesenecker
Honors Theses
The states of Europe and the European Union are facing one of the greatest challenges since the founding of the European Community in the 1950s. The collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War have served to strengthen the position of the European Union as a guarantor of democracy, peace, and fundamental human rights in Europe. However, crises such as the Balkan conflicts of recent years have also exposed inherent weaknesses in the Union's ability to respond to the changing international environment. As the Amsterdam Treaty entered into effect on 1 May 1999, the EU marked a …

A Study Of The Effectiveness Of Sex Education Classes On The Hiv/Aids-Related Attitudes And Behaviors Of Adolescent Women, Imelda Reyes-Phetteplace
Honors Theses
Twenty adolescent women using services at the Kalamazoo County Family Planning Clinic were interviewed using a protocol developed by the student investigator. Their responses were analyzed for themes and patterns. The majority of the adolescents were aware of HIV/AIDS and were using condoms on a consistent basis. Using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as the theoretical framework, suggestions were made to help improve area school programs such as practicing role-play during class and offering more classes in greater detail. Many of the adolescents recommended having more classes offered in school that cover the topics of STDs and health education in …
Racial Identity Attitudes Among African-American Workers, Jennifer Stombaugh
Racial Identity Attitudes Among African-American Workers, Jennifer Stombaugh
Honors Theses
In this paper I compared racial identity attitudes of professional and non-professional African-American workers. Comparisons were made using means for each of the stages of the Racial Identity Attitude Scale. The Racial Identity Attitude Scale was developed by Janet Helms and was based on an identity model developed by Cross. Means for each stage are compared among men and women, professionals and non-professionals, salary, and educational levels. However, responses to the scale proved to be more interesting than the actual results. So, due to the overwhelming opposition to the use of this scale, I also discuss implications of the subjects …

Self-Defeating Personality And Learned Helplessness, Regina T. Kabatay
Self-Defeating Personality And Learned Helplessness, Regina T. Kabatay
Honors Theses
This study attempted to determine whether people who engage in a higher frequency of self-defeating behaviors show a greater degree of those characteristics which define learned helplessness. Such a relationship was expected because chronic self-defeating patterns fail to lead to reinforcements in achievement and interpersonal situations and therefore should be associated with a higher number of characteristics found in learned helplessness (such as attributing causes of uncontrollable events to self, constant factors, and factors present in a variety of situations). Subjects were 43 undergraduate women, majors and non-majors, from an introductory psychology course. The measures used to examine the association …

Social And Environmental Factors Contributing To Stereotypic Behavior In The Spectacled Bear, Dana Marie Varble
Social And Environmental Factors Contributing To Stereotypic Behavior In The Spectacled Bear, Dana Marie Varble
Honors Theses
Stereotypies have many causes and contributing factors. Often overlooked is the importance of social and environmental factors such as weather, pen design, social interaction, feeds and feeding schedule, and early childhood experiences. These factors are overlooked in favor of more concrete and testable factors such as size of the animal, pen size, age, sex, and health. This research revealed the importance of social and environmental factors in interpreting the causes of stereotypy in one captive spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) at the St. Louis Zoo. Observational data collection was employed to attempt to gather data supporting the influence of these factors. …

Human Solidary : A Reconciliation Between Plato And Rorty, Larina M. Orlando
Human Solidary : A Reconciliation Between Plato And Rorty, Larina M. Orlando
Honors Theses
In Contingency, irony and solidarity, Richard Rorty outlines his conception of the ideal liberal utopia, wherein moral change results from the substitution of Freedom for Truth as "the goal of thinking and of social progress" (xiii). Rorty maintains that autonomous self-creation and human solidarity are not to be united in a "single vision" (xiv), but rather, "the closest we will come to joining these two quests is to see the aim of a just and free society as letting its citizens be as privatistic, 'irrationalist', and aestheticist as they please so long as they do it on their own …
Children's Attitudes Toward Television Advertising: A State Of The Art Review, Heidi L. Haskins
Children's Attitudes Toward Television Advertising: A State Of The Art Review, Heidi L. Haskins
Honors Theses
The issue of children and advertising came to light in the 1970s and has continued to be a topic of much discussion ever since. In started in the 1970s when the Action for Children's Television petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to eliminate all commercials from children's TV programs. Then in January 1973, the major networks agreed to reduce commercial time in children's weekend programs from 16 minutes an hour to 12 minutes an hour. In 1991, the Better Business Bureau estimated that children in the U.S. watch an average of 3.5 hours of television every day, and the average …
Stage Directions Uncovered : The Author's Voice In Modern English Drama, Erin Nelson
Stage Directions Uncovered : The Author's Voice In Modern English Drama, Erin Nelson
Honors Theses
The introduction of the modern director at the end of th4e nineteenth century had a major impact on both the role of dramatists in the theatrical process and the way they use stage directions within playscripts. This change will be demonstrated by a study of the way English-speaking dramatists make their intentions known through the scripted stage directions, or didascaliae, in dramatic texts.
Healing As Understood By Three Christian Perspectives: Roman Catholic, Church Of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), And The Church Of Christ, Scientist, Rozmond Collins Johnson
Healing As Understood By Three Christian Perspectives: Roman Catholic, Church Of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), And The Church Of Christ, Scientist, Rozmond Collins Johnson
Honors Theses
In their attempts to exemplify the healing brought about by Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) and the Church of Christ, Scientist, all demonstrate the potential of a healing ministry in modern times. Beginning with the healing done by Jesus in the Gospels, from "its inception, Christianity has included the notion of healing through divine intervention." The principle of divine healing has since become integrated with Christian belief on the traditional, doctrinal, communal, and personal levels.
Shaping Realities: A Study Of The Connection Between White Hegemony In Popular Culture And The Deprecatory Self-Image Of African Americans, Rebecca Thornton
Shaping Realities: A Study Of The Connection Between White Hegemony In Popular Culture And The Deprecatory Self-Image Of African Americans, Rebecca Thornton
Honors Theses
The following paper will examine how the breakdown of politically motivated racism easily translated into popular culture. Defining African Americans only as stereotypes allowed for the hegemony that had kept African Americans inferior, to endure into a new era, one dominated almost wholly by popular culture. Divided into three chapters, this paper will systematically demonstrate how historically, politically, socially, and ideologically the African American race has been castigated and prostrated by those in power.
