Female Genital Mutilation: Marked By Tradition, Isabel Coello Oct 1999

Female Genital Mutilation: Marked By Tradition, Isabel Coello

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the pervasive issue of female genital mutilation (FGM), a practice deeply rooted in cultural and religious traditions, which perpetuates gender-based violence and discrimination. It highlights the failure of many governments to effectively implement international human rights treaties to eradicate FGM, despite its severe physical and psychological consequences. The analysis focuses on legal challenges, recent court cases in Spain and France, and the growing recognition of FGM as grounds for political asylum, emphasizing the need for stronger international and domestic policies to protect women's rights.

Performing Selves/Performing As Self: Autobiographical Films Of Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Jennifer Levi Oct 1999

Performing Selves/Performing As Self: Autobiographical Films Of Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Jennifer Levi

Journal of Religion & Film

For many Holocaust survivors, one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is the simultaneous need to tell one's story and the awareness that language cannot convey the horrors of the experience. This awareness that words fall to communicate across generations, cultures, religions, etc. is the legacy of children of Jewish Holocaust survivors who both can't understand and are formed by their parents' stories/experiences. By engaging Deb Filler's film rendition of her one-woman stage show, Punch Me in the Stomach, and Abraham Ravett's documentary Everything's for You, I explore the ways in which film allows the second generation …

A Defense Of Analogical Reasoning In Law, Emily Sherwin Oct 1999

A Defense Of Analogical Reasoning In Law, Emily Sherwin

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This Article defends the practice of reasoning by analogy on the basis of its epistemic and institutional advantages. The advantages identified for analogical reasoning include that it produces a wealth of data for decisonmaking; it represents the collaborative effort of a number of judges over time; it tends to correct biases that might lead judges to discount the force of prior decisions; and it exerts a conservative force in law, holding the development of law to a gradual pace. Notably, these advantages do not depend on the rational force of analogical reasoning. Rather, the author contends that, as open-ended reasoning …

Effective Use Of Risk Communication Strategies For Health & Safety Educational Materials, Scott Hutcheson Oct 1999

Effective Use Of Risk Communication Strategies For Health & Safety Educational Materials, Scott Hutcheson

Journal of Extension

Risk communication strategies can help increase the effectiveness with which educators, specialist communicate with audiences about human health and safety. This publication outlines specific techniques and strategies to motivate people to take action, calm people down when they are enraged, and to communicate information that may be difficult to understand. Many programming areas, agriculture and natural resources, community development, consumer and family sciences, and 4-H and youth each deal with risk-related subject areas. The application of strategies like those outlined in this publication can help to increase the effectiveness with which health and safety programs are developed and delivered.

Missouri Master Gardener Demographics, Denny S. Schrock, Mary Meyer, Peter Ascher, Mark Snyder Oct 1999

Missouri Master Gardener Demographics, Denny S. Schrock, Mary Meyer, Peter Ascher, Mark Snyder

Journal of Extension

A survey was conducted of Missouri Master Gardeners to identify their demographics and to determine if Master Gardeners fit general volunteer demographic patterns. Females accounted for 65% of respondents and males 35%. Those in their 40's comprised the largest demographic group. The majority were married with children; over 50% had at least a college degree; one-third had household incomes of $60,000 or greater; most were long-term residents of small towns or rural areas. Missouri Master Gardener demographics fit the pattern of volunteers in general, but demographic data proved to be a poor predictor of intent to continue volunteering.

The Effects Of Volunteering On The Volunteer, John Wilson, Marc Musick Oct 1999

The Effects Of Volunteering On The Volunteer, John Wilson, Marc Musick

Law and Contemporary Problems

Wilson and Musick review some of the research on the supposed benefits of volunteering and describe briefly some of the results of their own work in this area. There is little doubt that there are individual benefits to be derived from doing volunteer work that reach far beyond the volunteer act itself and may linger long after the volunteer role is relinquished.

Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis Oct 1999

Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis

Law and Contemporary Problems

During the summers of 1964 and 1965, more than 300 college students fanned out across the state of North Carolina in a bold campaign to defeat poverty and, as they saw it, to uplift the poor. Korstad and Leloudis trace the history of the North Carolina Fund's Volunteers program, provide an analysis of the contribution that those students made to fighting poverty in the state, and evaluate the impact of that experience on the lives of the Volunteers themselves.

The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue Oct 1999

The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article assesses the admissions policies commonly employed by law faculties in common law Canada. These faculties rely heavily on admissions criteria and policies developed in the United States and, like their American counterparts, typically admit students on the basis of "index scores" produced by combining Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) performance with Undergraduate Grade Point Average (UGPA). The appropriateness of this American model to the Canadian context has never been rigorously assessed. This raises serious questions as to whether Canadian law school admissions policies serve either of their stated goals of finding the "best" students or of advancing social …

Pierre Coste And Catherine Labouré: The Conflict Of Historical Criticism And Popular Devotion, Stafford Poole C.M. Oct 1999

Pierre Coste And Catherine Labouré: The Conflict Of Historical Criticism And Popular Devotion, Stafford Poole C.M.

Vincentian Studies

Pierre Coste’s analysis of Catherine Labouré and her visions serves as a case study in “the tension that can exist between the demands of a dispassionate historical criticism and those of popular devotion.” He did not believe in the visions and tried to prevent Catherine’s beatification. Publication of his research would not have been permitted, so he held one view publicly and another privately. Stafford Poole’s study uses two versions of Coste’s treatise, giving the publications and testimonies of the visions in chronological order and following each with Coste’s criticism. Among other things, he was troubled by the fact that …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

As MICHELLE SCALISE SUGIYAMA shows, author Sandra Cisneros uses women's shoes and feet as potent symbols and actual examples of male manipulation of female sexuality and freedom. An Affiliate of the Institute for Cognitive and Decision Sciences at the University of Oregon and of the Center for Evolutionary Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Sugiyama approaches the universal behavior of storytelling from a cognitive and anthropological perspective. Her work can be found in The Hemingway Review, Human Nature, Mosaic, and Skeptic, and she is completing a book-length study developing an alternative to Freudian literary analysis and its derivatives …

Better Settle Than Sorry: The Regret Aversion Theory Of Litigation Behavior, Chris Guthrie Oct 1999

Better Settle Than Sorry: The Regret Aversion Theory Of Litigation Behavior, Chris Guthrie

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Legal scholars have developed two dominant theories of litigation behavior: the Economic Theory of Suit and Settlement,which is based on expected utility theory, and the Framing Theory of Litigation, which is based on prospect theory. While Professor Guthrie acknowledges the explanatory power of these theories, he argues that they are flawed because they portray litigants solely as calculating creatures. These theories disregard any role emotion might play in litigation decision making. Guthrie proposes a mplementary theory-the Regret Aversion Theory of Litigation Behavior-that views litigants as both calculating and emotional creatures. With roots in economics, cognitive psychology, and social psychology, the …

The Unfulfilled Promise Of Promissory Estoppel In The Employment Setting, Robert A. Hillman Oct 1999

The Unfulfilled Promise Of Promissory Estoppel In The Employment Setting, Robert A. Hillman

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Although the theory of promissory estoppel enforces promises that induce reasonable detrimental reliance, this article reveals the theory's colossal failure in the non-union employment setting. This conclusion is based on an examination of all of the reported decisions in the United States that discussed promissory estoppel over a two-year period in the mid 1990's. During this period, employees won only 4.23 percent of employment promissory estoppel cases decided on the merits. At first blush, this is very surprising because employers, through their communications, seek to create the expectation of a stable, secure work environment and employees, because of their lack …

A Comparative Study Of The Morale Levels Of Lower And Upper Elementary Public School Teachers, Marcellina Hummer Anderson Oct 1999

A Comparative Study Of The Morale Levels Of Lower And Upper Elementary Public School Teachers, Marcellina Hummer Anderson

Student Work

This study involved the development of a new instrument, the Teacher Outlook and Perceptions Survey, to explore the nature of teacher morale, what predicts teacher morale, and the influence of the anticipated outlook of the job situation on teacher morale. The instrument consisted of 47 items, including a global item in which teachers assessed their morale levels. The scores of the instrument produced an alpha reliability coefficient of .91. Elementary teachers from a large urban district participated in the study (N = 308). The instrument was based on a morale model developed by the researcher. Morale was defined as a …
