Deconstructing The Framers' Right To Property: Liberty's Daughters And Economic Rights, Barbara Stark

Hofstra Law Review

Deconstruction is a method for exposing hidden assumptions, that which is taken for granted, unquestioned. This Article draws on this method first to explain how the right to property, as understood by the Framers, became the hidden, unquestioned assumption of the Bill of Rights. Second, this Article draws on deconstruction to "unpack" the right to property to reveal the lesser-subsumed economic rights it takes for granted. It argues that the right to property and economic rights are iterations of the same rights, from the perspectives of the "haves" and the "have-nots," respectively. Recent work by women's historians makes it possible …

The Legal Construction Of Adolescence, Elizabeth S. Scott

Hofstra Law Review

Two features of the legal regulation of childhood seem troublesome, but ultimately contribute to sensible policies in most contexts. First, the boundary between childhood and adulthood varies in different policy domains, through a regime of age grading under which elementary school students are deemed adults for some legal purposes, while, for other purposes, college students are children. Second, the transitional stage of adolescence is virtually invisible, because, for most purposes, law makers employ binary categories, classifying adolescents as either children or as adults. This framework - a series of legislative bright line rules, arrayed around a presumptive age of majority …

Case Studies Of Children's Social And Emotional Adjustment At School After The Permanent Separation Of Their Parents, Gillian Kirk

Theses : Honours

The number of children who have experienced the separation of their parents is constantly rising. An increasing amount of children arc entering classrooms contending with their day-to-day stressors as well as the stress originating from then home lives. Many of these children are not prepared with the knowledge or understanding of their stressor, nor are they equipped with strategies that would help them deal with stress. Observations and interviews were conducted with four children who had experienced the separation and divorce of their parents over a period of six months. As the data for this study needed to be rich …

The Changing American Family: A Reevaluation Of The Rights Of Foster Parents When Biological Parental Rights Have Been Terminated, Cassandra S. Haury

Georgia Law Review

During the past twenty years, the American ideal of the traditional nuclear family made up of heterosexual parents and their children has been increasingly replaced by a number of new and unconventional family systems. Although many of these novel family systems have received recognition by the courts, foster families have been consistently denied legal rights to the children that they raise. Due to the reality of changing dynamics in family systems in the United States, and the failure of the present foster care system, the judicial system needs to reevaluate its denial of foster parents' due process rights. This Note …

Telecommunications In The Twenty-First Century: Global Perspectives On Community And Diaspora Among Netcitizens, Madeleine M. Plasencia

Articles

The Internet brings heady communications opportunities to those who have access to the Internet. Yet, mounting evidence has proven that a gap or divide exists on Internet usage and access. The divide exists within the United States and, increasingly, on a global basis. Part I of this Article introduces the term "digital divide" and explores the deployment of advanced telecommunications in the United States. Part II traces patterns of access to the Internet based on race and income and subordinates the statistical evidence to the realities of lack of access, and lends a human face to contextualize the real losses …

Implementing A Virtual Reality Paradigm In Human Anatomy/Physiology College Curricula, Helen St. Aubin

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

Modes of instruction in the college course called Human Anatomy/Physiology are changing. Due to ethical concerns and the ever-increasing source of new physiological data, there is a need for enhancements to assist the instructor and student. The computer science of virtual reality (VR) provides a method to electronically educate, train, prototype, and test and evaluate new enhancements to the college curricula. This study detailed the modeling and simulation of a skeletal human hand with degrees of freedom of movement, which provided the students with a physiological representation of some of the movements of the hand. The primary objectives of the …

Behavioral Contrast: A New Solution To An Old Problem, Sara J. Estle '00

Honors Projects

The effects of component presentation and baseline rates of reinforcement on behavioral contrast were examined in rats. Each rat was exposed to a series of six multiple variable-interval schedules, divided into two three-schedule series. Each series consisted of a standard contrast design (baseline phase, contrast phase, and baseline recovery phase). The presentation of multiple schedule components within these three phases varied as a function of condition. In condition one, rats were presented with the traditional strict alternation of multiple schedule components. In condition two, rats were exposed to randomly alternating multiple schedule components. Each subject was exposed to both high …

Effect Of Structured Work Systems On Task Performance In Children With Autism, Kari Beth Adkins '00

Honors Projects

A single-subject, alternating-treatments with no baseline design was used to study the effectiveness of work systems in three children with autism. Work systems build on the strengths of children with autism, taking advantage of their visuo-spatial strengths by building on the principles of visual cueing and organization. Individual work systems were developed for each child, and the effects of these systems on on-task behavior, dependence, productivity and organization were studied. Results indicate moderate significance for the effectiveness of work systems in increasing on-task behavior and decreasing dependence in children with autism. Results also revealed substantial evidence for the effectiveness of …
