Socialization Of Boys And Girls In Natural Contexts, Carolyn P. Edwards, Lisa Knoche, Asiye Kumru

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Socialization is the general process by which the members of a cultural community or society pass on their language, rules, roles, and customary ways of thinking and behaving to the next generation. Sex role socialization is one important aspect of this general process. The goals of earlier work were to understand how, why, and at what age girls and boys begin to vary behaviorally along such dimensions as "nurturance," "aggression," and "dependency," including determination of how sex-typical dispositions are influenced by cultural factors. This chapter presents a new approach seeking to answer such questions as the following. How are different …

Beyond Rhetoric: State Sovereignty, Common Concern, And The Inapplicability Of The Common Heritage Concept To Plant Genetic Resources, Ikechi Mgbeoji

Articles & Book Chapters

Until the emergence of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992 and the FAO Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources in 2001, opinion had hardened in some quarters that the principle of a common heritage of mankind regulated international transfer of plant genetic resources, By a historical analysis of customary international law in the colonial age and the recent pedigree of the principle of common heritage, this article points out the fallacies in such arguments and contends that plants have always been subject to various national jurisdictions. It has to be conceded, however, that contemporary developments in the field of international …

Value Shift: Why Companies Must Merge Social And Financial Imperatives To Achieve Superior Performance, Carol M. Sanchez

Peer Reviewed Articles

In Value Shift. Lynn Sharp Paine argues that modern corporations are now expected to meet moral, as well as financial, performance standards to be considered superior performing firms. Paine calls this a return to, or a shift in, values that now emphasize ethics, culture, environmental standards, product safety, and community investment—what students of management might call a broad stakeholder model of the firm. The author, who is professor of leadership and values at the Harvard Business School, reflects on the recent crises in corporate America that began in 2001 with the Enron scandal. These disgraceful misdeeds and the public reaction …

Dictionary Of Contemporary Religion In The Western World: Exploring Living Faiths In Postmodern Contexts (Review), James F. Lewis

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Works

When Samuel Clemens heard that a journalist had reported his passing, he quipped: “Rumors of my death, have been greatly exaggerated.” In a similar vein, the Dictionary serves to lay to rest the antiquated but oft-believed claim of secular elites concerning the imminent demise of religion. In 100 articles, written by 61 gifted contributors (18 of whom are from North America) the reader is informed of the staggering breadth, growing profusion and zealous tenacity of religion in modern human culture and its ability to ever morph into new and creative expressions. The authors are committed to the Christian tradition but …

A Failed Experiment? Investigative Detention: Ten Years Later, James Stribopoulos

Articles & Book Chapters

Ten years ago, the Ontario Court of Appeal introduced the investigative detention power to Canada with its decision in R. v. Simpson. After providing some necessary background about the realities of police detention practices, the author offers a critical evaluation of Simpson and the ancillary powers doctrine that it relied upon to create this new police power. The author then proceeds to consider how well the investigative detention experiment has fared over the last decade, examining whether it has lived up to the goal that provided its inspiration, namely, the regulation of police detention practices. The author advances two major …

Reflections On The Myth Of Icarus In The Age Of Information, Allen S. Hammond Iv

Faculty Publications

It is economics, policy, law, and indeed, for some, religion that advanced information technology should be eventually accessible to the masses. To this end, the federal and state governments are establishing goals and guidelines for advanced information technology's equitable deployment. Chief among the governments' intended beneficiaries are our children, Generations X,Y, Z, and beyond. The explicit expectation, however, is that every individual and group in our society would benefit from such deployment.

Efficiencies in the computer augmented generation, embedded in the processing and storing of information are expected to enhance education, commerce, the economy, political discourse, individual self actualization, and …

Privilege, Gender, And The Fourteenth Amendment: Reclaiming Equal Protection Of The Laws, Stephanie M. Wildman

Faculty Publications

The United States Supreme Court's failure to understand the relationship between individuals and groups in its equal protection jurisprudence has resulted in jurisprudence that makes no sense. The Court's inability to recognize the forms of bias associated with group membership has hampered the realization of the equal protection ideal. Analyzing the Court's gender equality decisions, the author proposes another path in equal protection jurisprudence that would analyze systemic privilege, recognizing the structures of subordination and domination. Examining equal protection through a privilege lens would clarify the interrelation of individuals to groups, provide an avenue for addressing biases, and sidestep the …

Exploring The "Myth Of Parity" In State Taxation: State Court Decisions Interpreting Public Law 86-272, Bradley W. Joondeph

Faculty Publications

The general rule of federal question jurisdiction does not extend to cases in which plaintiffs challenge the lawfulness of a state or local tax. In recent years, the Supreme Court has expressed its belief that this lack of a federal forum should not concern taxpayers, as the federal and state judiciaries are equally competent in deciding questions of federal law. Many observers have disputed this parity thesis, labeling it a convenient but dangerous myth. In the field of state and local taxation specifically, lawyers have expressed their distrust of state courts' willingness to protect the federal rights of taxpayers, especially …

An Examination Of Perceived Stress And Coping Patterns Of Pastoral Wives In The Nigerian Union Mission Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Olufunmilayo Janet Ola

Dissertations

Purpose of Study. Most studies examining stress and coping patterns of pastoral wives have been conducted from an advanced country background. Even though all the researchers agreed that these pastoral wives do experience a certain amount of stress, very little is known about pastoral wives in third-world countries who are faced with poverty, illiteracy, diseases and cultural restraints. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine perceived stress and coping patterns of pastoral wives of the Nigerian Union Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

Methodology. A quantitative method of collecting data was used in this study. The two psychological …

Investigation Of The Role Of Self-Efficacy In Postoperative Outcomes In Spinal Fusion Patients, Karen Roberts Burritt

Masters Theses

A descriptive correlational design was utilized to explore the relationship between preoperative self-efficacy and the postoperative outcomes of distance ambulated, brace application, discharge disposition and length of stay in surgical spinal fusion patients. Social cognitive theory and the concept of self-efficacy were used to provide the theoretical framework. A novel self-efficacy questionnaire was developed to measure the independent variable, it was tested for reliability and validity in a 16 patient pilot study. The pilot study was followed by a study of 52 post-operative patients. Preoperative self-efficacy significantly correlated to distance ambulated in the entire sample. Females in this sample demonstrated …

Mothers Who Kill: Cross-Cultural Patterns In And Perspectives On Contemporary Maternal Filicide, Michelle Oberman

Faculty Publications

This article presents a brief cross-cultural review of maternal filicide, focusing specifically on the varying circumstances that surround the mothers who commit this crime. My goal is not to provide a comprehensive map of contemporary maternal filicide, but rather, to illustrate the manner in which a society’s structure of motherhood and women’s status contributes to maternal filicide. Special attention will be paid to the unwritten norms that govern women and motherhood, as well as to the manner in which distinct societies understand, rationalize, and punish maternal filicide. The article begins with a review of the patterned nature of maternal filicide …

Benerd College Faculty Articles

Morocco’s King Hassan II died on 23 July 1999 and was succeeded by his son Muhammad VI.

Was Morocco under Hassan II becoming a more democratic and open society? This paper critically examines King Hassan’s legacy, challenges and opportunities it poses for his heir Muhammad VI. The paper also discusses Morocco’s prospects for democratic deepening under the new leader.

Is The Wada Test Necessary Prior To Epilepsy Surgery?, Bassel W. Abou-Khalil

Neurosciences

The Wada test was initially used to identify the hemisphere of language dominance prior to epilepsy surgery, but was subsequently applied to identify patients at risk of amnesia after temporal resection. The Wada test was later found useful in lateralizing the epileptogenic zone, predicting postoperative memory function, and predicting postoperative seizure control. The Wada test became more widely used, and in many centers became a standard component of the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy. Yet, several problems and disadvantages have surrounded the Wada test, including absence of standardized technique, overestimation of postoperative deficits, and risks and discomforts related to the invasive …

Freedom Of Speech And The Language Of Architecture, Kevin G. Gill

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, in Bear Run, Pennsylvania, is a celebrated architectural masterpiece of groundbreaking vision and design ingenuity. Today unfortunately, in many municipalities, strict design controls prevent architects from designing such visionary work. These controls preclude buildings that do not mimic a certain architectural style, or otherwise conform to the neighborhood. They are promulgated on notions of community harmony; the argument is made that unconventional architectural design is somehow discordant and will adversely affect property values.

Architecture has been called humanity's greatest form of expression. Architecture can be a physical expression of philosophical, religious, political, and aesthetic ideas and …
