Carpe Crisis: Capitalizing On The Breakdown Of Capitalism To Consider The Creation Of Social Businesses, Celia R. Taylor

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The recent meltdown of the world’s financial systems presents a unique opportunity to examine the very nature of the corporate form and to consider whether other models of business operation are needed. This article explains the idea of “social businesses” – profit-making, but not profit-maximizing entities that operate to further social good instead of exclusively generating returns for their shareholders. The article then explores the current legal regime for both profit and non-profit businesses under United States law, and suggests there is no ideal business structure currently available under which to operate a social business.

The Evolution Of Self-Directedness In An Undergraduate Ethics Course: A Comparison Of Three Course Delivery Methods, Shawna Leigh Strickland

Dissertations

Many studies have investigated relationships between self-directedness and various indicators of success in university coursework but few have explored the evolution of self-directedness that may or may not occur in these settings.

The study also examined the relationship between course delivery method and degree of evolution of self-directedness during the studied semester. A traditional section, a blended section, and an online section of the healthcare ethics course were studied. Within three sections …

Estimating The Life Course Dynamics Of Asset Poverty, Mark R. Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl

Center for Social Development Research

Poverty can be conceptualized and measured in several different ways. The most common approach has been to rely on a scarcity of income as the basis for poverty. This paper analyzes poverty using a relatively new and alternative measuring stick—that of asset poverty. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we examine the extent to which individuals have enough assets to allow them to live for three months above the official poverty line. Households that fail to have the necessary amount of assets are considered asset poor. Three different measures of counting assets are used in this paper—net …

Risk And Protective Factors Associated With Academic Achievement Among Ghanaian Youth, Ziblim Abukari

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Young people in Ghana who grow up in poverty and to families with little or no education endure limited early learning opportunities, underfunded educational systems, and more health and mental health problems compared to their peers from more privileged backgrounds. A significant body of literature addressing the relationship among risk, protection, resilience and academic achievement is based on youth populations in North America and Western Europe. Relatively little is known about the applicability of ecological and risk and resilience frameworks in non-Western countries. Consequently, educational outcomes of young people in Ghana are often characterized by similarities in low achievement, lack …
