Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

It is the purpose of this study to determine as accurately as possible the use made of social problems in the themes of short stories written between the years 1936 and 1946 and published in the Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Magazine, and the Saturday Evening Post, and to make a brief classification of these stories by type.

A Study Of The Divorce Theme As Used In The Novels Of Major And Minor Authors During The Period 1920-1945, Ethel Liss Simpson

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The scientific study of divorce is still in its initial stages. Sociologists have studied the problem and have made great progress in understanding it. Fiction writers, in presenting the problem through the more easily accessible method of the novel have reached and have influenced a greater number of people than have the long and difficult treatises of the scientists. As a wife and mother I became interested in this most vital problem which has tragically broken so many homes. My purpose in making this study has been to ascertain the degree to which the authors are reflecting in the novels …

An Ecological Study Of The Negro In Ward Seven, Murphy Cleophas Williams

Student Work

The concept of the term "ecology' as it relates to sociology and social research is well interpreeted in Gist and Halbert's book, Urban Society… From the above explanation and from the interpretations of the term "ecology" in the writings of Park and Eurgess and others, we get the idea that an ecological study involves the spatial, selective and distributive functions and melations of human beings in a given geographical and cultural area, and that these functions and relations characterize the forms and types of social interaction.

A Study Of Intra-Urban Mobility In Omaha, Magdalene Pickens

Student Work

"Mobility" is moving about, from one place to another. The word urban is from the Latin word, "urbanus", meaning "belonging to a city". "Intra" is a prefix meaning "within", taken from the Latin preposition "intra", which has the same meaning. Intra-urban mobility then, is the moving from place to place of the individual or family within the city. This thesis will treat of the intra-urban mobility of Omaha, Nebraska and its suburban areas, for the period of three years, from 1942 to 1945.

A Study Of The Editorial Policy Of The Omaha Bee-News And The Omaha World-Herald With Regard To Social Problems, Ira O. Jones

Student Work

The term “policy” used in the title of this study is authoritatively defined as “ a settled or definite course or method adopted and followed by a government, institution, body, or individual.” The term “editorial policy” is a limitation of the general term to the “definite course or method adopted and followed” by newspapers in their editorials. The editorials of a newspaper attempt to interpret and to explain the news, or to make the news the basis of argument upon issues growing out of questions of the day. The term “editorial policy” has been defined as “the attitude taken by …

Benson: A Residential Suburban Community, Dorothy Ruth Mutz

Student Work

Before making a study of the social life of a particular area it is essential to classify the area as to type and character with reference to the surrounding area. Various interpretations are givens the terms "community" and "neighborhood", the terms often being used synonymously. The term "suburb", a comparatively recent sociological term, is also open to diverse interpretation. Thus in order to systematize the variety of terms only those interpretations will be analyzed which seem to apply most directly to the area studied.

Industrial And Business Life Of Negroes In Omaha, James Harvey Kerns

Student Work

There are in the city of Omaha according to the census report of 1930, 11,123 Negros. They have come to this city from various sections of the country. But in the main from rural and urban centers of the South. They have migrated here, as to other Northern and Western cities, to improve their social and economic conditions and for better opportunities in general. They have secured employment in the various industries of the city and have found positions in domestic employment. Some have engaged in business of their own, while still others have entered the different professions. There have …

The Sociological Aspects Of Mexican Immigration To The United States, Bert Ira Van Gilder

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The question of immigration has always been a part of American thought. It is often said that all Americans are immigrants; that the only real American is the Indian. But this assertion is open to argument as the anthropologist tells us that the Indian is but the descendant of some other race which came to these shores thousands of years ago.

Be that as it may, the fact remains that this country is peopled by representatives of many races and nationalities, many of whom were born in a foreign land.

…

In this study of Mexican immigration, the subject has …

The Mexican Colony In South Lorain, Ohio: An Exploratory Study, Robert W. O'Brien

Honors Papers

The object of this thesis is to show the process of adjustment which the Mexican faces when he leaves his less competitive physical and social environment in Mexico and lives in a typical steel city of the Northern section of the United States. This study is sociological, rather than economic in its approach. It is an attempt to get at the way in which these people live, and the attitudes which they have toward themselves and other groups.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It has been the object of the writer to compile as complete a bibliography, as the time allowed, on the History of the Deep Water Project at Stockton, California.

The Collection Of Criminal Statistics In The United States, Raymond Moley

Michigan Law Review

It is well known to those who have attempted to secure final reliable and significant statistical data concerning crime and the enforcement of the criminal law in the United States that only the barest outline of the American crime problem is shown by the data now obtainable. Such diversity exists among recording agencies that we can not safely compare cities and states in the amount of crime reported to the police; the characteristics of these crimes or of those arrested for their crimes are so inadequately kept that little sociological data are available; we can not from material now published …

History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the one hundred and forty years of Louisville's existence, it has grown from a log cabin settlement with no churches to a city with 269 churches and church property valued at over $30,000,000. It is impossible to measure the moral and religious force that they have exerted on the city. It can best be appreciated when one thinks of what the city would be without them. Few of us would care to live in such a city. In the field of education, Louisville churches have contributed much. Some of the first schools in the city were conducted by ministers, …
