Back To The Future: A Search For Economic Progress Or Roots? A Comparison Of Experiences Between African American Entrepreneurs In South Africa And In The United States, Melinda Dowell Harris Jan 2000

Back To The Future: A Search For Economic Progress Or Roots? A Comparison Of Experiences Between African American Entrepreneurs In South Africa And In The United States, Melinda Dowell Harris

Student Scholarship

This study addresses some of the challenges and opportunities that African Americans encounter in their quest for economic and personal progress. Further, the study implies that minority entrepreneurs are a special breed of entrepreneur, combining personal, professional, and financial success with that of shared-identity peers. African American entrepreneurs' views of success transcend personal financial gain to incorporate economic and civic progress with those with whom they share identity. Twenty African American entrepreneurs in South Africa and in the United States were interviewed. These individuals were identified through various local and government agencies, as well as through individuals who are in …

Investigation Into The Feasibilty Of Providing Intelligent Support For Computer Mediation Decision Making Groups, Andrew Martyn Morley Jan 2000

Investigation Into The Feasibilty Of Providing Intelligent Support For Computer Mediation Decision Making Groups, Andrew Martyn Morley

School of Psychology Theses

This thesis investigated the claim that the adaptation to the keyboard interface of a computer-mediated (CM) decision making group leads to differences in the style of communication when compared to that of a face-to-face (FTF) group. More importantly it examined the possibility that changes in satisfaction with the process and the decision outcome are determined not by the mode of communication, but rather the style of communication the decision makers employed in response to the keyboard interface. The decision processes of CM and FTF groups were examined using a simulated panel of enquiry presented via computer databases and containing inconsistent …

Parental Liability And The Criminal Misconduct Of Children In The Wake Of An Unregulated Internet: Who Should Pay?, Katherine R. Richardson Jan 2000

Parental Liability And The Criminal Misconduct Of Children In The Wake Of An Unregulated Internet: Who Should Pay?, Katherine R. Richardson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the legal and practical challenges of holding parents accountable for their children's criminal acts, particularly when influenced by internet content. It questions the effectiveness of parental liability laws and highlights the tension between child protection, parental rights, and internet regulation. While acknowledging the complexity of these issues, the note suggests that parental liability should only apply when a clear causal link exists between negligence and harm, though proving such a link is legally challenging. Ultimately, the analysis advocates for a nuanced approach to balancing these competing interests.

Liberal Discovery Of Non-Party Records: In Defense Of The Defense, Melissa E. Rosenthal Jan 2000

Liberal Discovery Of Non-Party Records: In Defense Of The Defense, Melissa E. Rosenthal

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note advocates for the liberal discovery of nonparty records, such as IQ test results and medical records, in lead paint poisoning cases in New York. It argues that allowing such discovery aligns with the state's broad discovery policies under CPLR 3101(a) and promotes fairness and efficiency in litigation. The author contends that the current per se ban on discovering these records is inconsistent and unfair, particularly for defendants in the First Department, where such discovery is prohibited. The analysis emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that considers relevance, privacy, and the potential for alternative causation in determining admissibility.

Parenting Young Children: Comparison Of A Psychoeducational Program In Mexico And The United States, Pedro R. Solís-Cámara, Robert A. Fox, Bonnie C. Nicholson Jan 2000

Parenting Young Children: Comparison Of A Psychoeducational Program In Mexico And The United States, Pedro R. Solís-Cámara, Robert A. Fox, Bonnie C. Nicholson

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

The purpose of this study was to compare the cross-cultural effectiveness of a psychoeducational program with 82 Mexican and 63 American mothers with very young children. The 10-hour program was presented by trained facilitators in Mexico and the United States to small groups of mothers. Results showed that the both groups of mothers significantly increased their expectations and use of nurturing strategies and reduced their use of verbal and corporal punishment with their young children following the program. In addition, the reported frequency of child behavior problems decreased significantly at post-test. The similar results obtained across cultures were explained based …

Parenting Among Hispanic And Anglo-American Mothers With Young Children, Pablo G. Cardona, Bonnie C. Nicholson, Robert A. Fox Jan 2000

Parenting Among Hispanic And Anglo-American Mothers With Young Children, Pablo G. Cardona, Bonnie C. Nicholson, Robert A. Fox

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

The authors examined parenting practices and developmental expectations among 38 Hispanic and 38 Anglo-American mothers living in the United States. Mothers of children 3 to 5 years of age completed the Parent Behavior Checklist (R. A. Fox, 1994), a 100-item measure of parents' developmental expectations, discipline, and nurturing practices. In addition, the authors appraised the Hispanic mothers' acculturation and selected them for participation if their scores on an acculturation scale indicated (a) that their lifestyle was predominantly Hispanic and (b) that they had not been assimilated into the dominant culture. The 2 ethnic groups were also divided by socioeconomic status …

Delgado, Hegel And The Rodrigo Chronicles, George A. Martinez Jan 2000

Delgado, Hegel And The Rodrigo Chronicles, George A. Martinez

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Richard Delgado has made path-breaking contributions to the literature on race and American law. His Rodrigo Chronicles are already classics of the Critical Race Theory genre. It is, therefore, wholly appropriate that the Harvard Latino Law Review dedicated a symposium issue to an examination of the Rodrigo Chronicles and Delgado's other work. In this symposium essay, the author attempts to illuminate Delgado's project in the Chronicles through an examination of various aspects of Hegel's philosophy. Hegel's philosophy allows us to better understand Delgado's work in the Chronicles and elsewhere.

Is Hiv Disability Under The Americans With Disabilities Act: Unanswered Questions After Bragdon V. Abbott, Connie Mayer Jan 2000

Is Hiv Disability Under The Americans With Disabilities Act: Unanswered Questions After Bragdon V. Abbott, Connie Mayer

Journal of Law and Health

Prior to the passage of the ADA in 1990, the term "individual with a handicap" had been clearly established under federal disability laws to include all people with HIV. Every reported decision under the Rehabilitation Act and the Fair Housing Amendment Act had determined that asymptomatic HIV was protected as a per se disability. Prior to 1997, only a few Courts had faced the issue of whether a plaintiff with asymptomatic HIV was disabled under the ADA. In 1997, the Fourth and First Circuit Courts of Appeal decided cases in direct conflict with one another, opening the door for the …

Exclusive Or Concurrent Competence To Make Medical Decisions For Adolescents In The United States And United Kingdom , Robert L. Stenger Jan 2000

Exclusive Or Concurrent Competence To Make Medical Decisions For Adolescents In The United States And United Kingdom , Robert L. Stenger

Journal of Law and Health

Medical decision-making is one area where drawing and applying a single defining line between childhood and adulthood has proven difficult. Each society determines how it will allocate decision-making authority with respect to children. This article will address how such allocations have been developed in the United States and the United Kingdom. An analysis of the capacity of an adolescent to make decisions remains incomplete without some consideration of the role of parent(s) and of the government. It is precisely here that recent developments in the United Kingdom may provide helpful guidance in the United States.

The Tobacco Industry And The First Amendment - An Analysis Of The 1998 Master Settlement Agreement, Lori Ann Luka Jan 2000

The Tobacco Industry And The First Amendment - An Analysis Of The 1998 Master Settlement Agreement, Lori Ann Luka

Journal of Law and Health

This Note discusses and assesses the Government's likelihood of passing constitutional scrutiny with the Master Settlement Agreement's restrictions in light of the First Amendment case law. A majority of the restrictions will likely pass constitutional scrutiny because they meet the demanding requirements of Central Hudson and its progeny. The author believes that a few of the restrictions need to be more narrowly tailored in order to pass constitutional scrutiny. Suggestions on how to narrowly tailor the restrictions to comport with Central Hudson are proffered by the author. Section II provides an overview of the history of First Amendment commercial speech …

Calling Dr. Love: The Physician-Patient Sexual Relationship As Grounds For Medical Malpractice - Society Pays While The Doctor And Patient Play, Scott M. Puglise Jan 2000

Calling Dr. Love: The Physician-Patient Sexual Relationship As Grounds For Medical Malpractice - Society Pays While The Doctor And Patient Play, Scott M. Puglise

Journal of Law and Health

This note examines "consensual" sexual relationships between non-mental health physicians and patients. More specifically, it examines whether such relationships ever amount to medical malpractice. Generally, a non-mental health physician would be liable under the rubric of medical malpractice only if the sexual relationship was commenced under the guise of "medical treatment." Recent cases, however, have expanded liability in certain circumstances when the physician-patient relationship has involved "counseling matters." "Counseling matters" describes talking to patients about their feelings, or discussing personal problems not necessarily related to their proposed treatment. Medical treatment supplemented by "counseling" purportedly requires greater scrutiny due to the …

More Hippocrates, Less Hypocrisy: Early Offers As A Means Of Implementing The Institute Of Medicine's Recommendations On Malpractice Law, Jeffrey O'Connell, Patrick B. Bryan

Journal of Law and Health

To remove the fear of personal liability from individual health care workers and eliminate the incentive to hide errors rather than report them, the IOM acknowledges that tort reform of some sort is also needed. Since the IOM calls for shifting attention away from the faults of individual care providers to the defects of the system itself, the current tort system's "blame culture" is itself blamed by the IOM for providing an impediment to improving the safety of patients by deterring physicians from reporting their own errors in the first place. However, the IOM's To Err is Human does not …

A Narrative Epistemology Of Sacred Frame Constructedness And Deconstruction: Exploratory Analyses Of Ways Of Knowing Sacred Interpretation And Understanding Through Context, Symbol/Concept, And Role, Joshua M. Aerie Jan 2000

A Narrative Epistemology Of Sacred Frame Constructedness And Deconstruction: Exploratory Analyses Of Ways Of Knowing Sacred Interpretation And Understanding Through Context, Symbol/Concept, And Role, Joshua M. Aerie

Honors Papers

The purpose of this Anthropology Honors Thesis is to understand sacred construction through narrative epistemology. That is, with the help of an analytical model of framework, frame, and strip, I analyze narratives regarding incidents of disruption and incongruity within the sacred framework as a way of knowing the sacred as a social realm, constructed as dialectically different from the domain of "conventional" social cognition. Specifically, I will examine how the stories embody ideas about how the sacred framework constructs fragile interpretive frames susceptible to incidents which challenge its structural rigidity and inflexibility. These stories expose the constructedness of the sacred.

Metametascience Towards Reconciliation, John P. Kennedy Jan 2000

Metametascience Towards Reconciliation, John P. Kennedy

Honors Papers

The ideal of consilience - the inductive concurrence of seemingly disparate ways of thinking into a single, unified, all-encompassing intellectual system - or more simply put, "unified learning" - has been largely set aside since the rise of the industrial age and the championing of the industrious, better-be it individualized mind of the enlightenment. The Catholic Church was the last western world-dominant institution to actively perpetuate and work according to the rubric of a unified field of knowledge. Our thoughts and everything else were under God and indivisible: our ethics and our physics alike were the immaterial idea-stuff of the …

Gendering Bodies In Preschool: The Importance Of The Interconnectedness Of Race, Class, And Gender, Abigail D. Paine Jan 2000

Gendering Bodies In Preschool: The Importance Of The Interconnectedness Of Race, Class, And Gender, Abigail D. Paine

Honors Papers

The methods through which children learn to identify with a gender and its ascribed roles in United States society have been documented thoroughly in both psychology and sociology. Although there are many researchers who agree that gender roles are limiting, stereotypical expressions of gender, they exist and continued to be learned by children, nevertheless. How are children's gender roles enforced? Why do children continue to grow up knowing what to attribute as "masculine" or "feminine"? One interesting way that stereotypical gender roles are enforced is through processes that gender children's bodies.

The Fables Of Superintendent Don Paolo: Object Lessons On Community Upheaval, Community Efficacy, Heritage Knowledge, And Education, Orlando Villella

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In order to understand the economically, and academically distressed community, we must understand it on its own terms. This study used the narrative form as the source of inquiry using the fabulistic form as methodology. The novelist Calvino has served as a guide to this narrative method. Narrative is employed to gain knowledge of the community and this study examines how the community expresses shared values through fabulistic narratives. The problem examined in this study is discovery of narratives and fables of past and present successes. The research examines how the community views itself, its role in the educational process, …

Legal Rites: Abjection And The Criminal Regulation Of Consensual Sex, Kate Sutherland Jan 2000

Legal Rites: Abjection And The Criminal Regulation Of Consensual Sex, Kate Sutherland

Articles & Book Chapters

The application of criminal law to consensual sex is an arena of conflict and contest between conservative and liberal forces in the United States, with occasional feminist interventions. The same arguments tend to recur on each side of the debate. Conservatives assert the appropriateness and necessity of enforcing a particular Judeo-Christian sexual morality through law. Liberals argue for tolerance of private consensual sexual conduct. When the debate shifts from the private to the public arena, conservatives may argue privacy principles, asserting the right of bystanders to be let alone, whereas liberals may shift to freedom of expression arguments. In this …
