War Tax Free: Institutional Resiliency For War In The United States, Sarah Nelson Bakhtiari Jan 2016

War Tax Free: Institutional Resiliency For War In The United States, Sarah Nelson Bakhtiari

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The obsolescence of war taxes in the United States after 1968 is a product of the state's increased institutional resiliency for war. Historically, war taxes were raised for purposes of revenue generation for contemporaneous war spending or wartime inflation control. The state's development of a robust tax system that provides high and automatically increasing revenues over time, along with monetary mechanisms for price stability, obviate the need for war taxes. In particular, the development of the income tax system and the use of inflation-targeting monetary policy expanded the state's warfighting capacity without reliance on war taxes. These developments suggest a …

Funds Of Knowledge Of Arab Immigrant Families: An Examination Of The Perceptions Of High School Students, Parents, And Teachers, Hiba Kahil Elhajj Jan 2016

Funds Of Knowledge Of Arab Immigrant Families: An Examination Of The Perceptions Of High School Students, Parents, And Teachers, Hiba Kahil Elhajj

Wayne State University Dissertations

With the growing numbers of English learners in American schools, the Federal Government has mandated special services and programs to meet the needs of this population which increased research about the best strategies that would help close the gap between ELs and their peers. Nonetheless, the current education system still views ELs from a deficit lens which focuses on closing the gaps in students’ education instead of focusing on the assets that they have. Therefore, there is a specific need to bridge the home and school environments together so that teachers can build on the skills that students bring from …

“He Asked If I Knew Anything About The Universe. And I Told Him No”: Alien Abductions In American Literature, Stephen James Fleming Jan 2016

“He Asked If I Knew Anything About The Universe. And I Told Him No”: Alien Abductions In American Literature, Stephen James Fleming

Theses & ETDs

Stories about aliens saturate American culture, but few critics explore them as figures that span decades and genres and that reveal a great deal about the people who are drawn to alien imagery. This thesis examines aliens in two ways: as very real extraterrestrial beings sexually assaulting abductees and assimilating into humanity; and as fictional responses to our fears of the racial Other. I speak to cultural studies scholars, since the abduction masterplot takes on the issues of social anxieties, conspiracy, politics, and entertainment history, also found in canonical literature. The first chapter traces the evolution of nonfiction abduction narratives, …


“Foreign In A Domestic Sense”: An Examination Of Changes And Continuities In Factors Shaping Puerto Rican Emigration To The U.S. Mainland, Gerina Gjergji Jan 2016

“Foreign In A Domestic Sense”: An Examination Of Changes And Continuities In Factors Shaping Puerto Rican Emigration To The U.S. Mainland, Gerina Gjergji

Theses & ETDs

This thesis examines emigration from Puerto Rico to the mainland U.S. with the aim of uncovering the factors that account for the large exodus of people from 1898 to present. A review of how major theories of migration have developed over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries suggests several potential explanatory factors. The case analysis is based on the study of Puerto Rican economic and political history, which shapes the socio-economic conditions that drive migration. After a review of earlier waves of migration, the analysis focuses in more depth on the current cycle of migration. An appraisal of migratory movements, government …


“It Looks Like You Who Are Behind A Fence:” Exceptional Landscapes Of American Incarceration From Deer Island To Topaz, Michael Dorney Jan 2016

“It Looks Like You Who Are Behind A Fence:” Exceptional Landscapes Of American Incarceration From Deer Island To Topaz, Michael Dorney

Theses & ETDs

This senior thesis attempts to tell a spatial history of Japanese American Internment (1942-46), a historical episode that saw the United States federal government expropriate, incarcerate, and forcefully migrate 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. My first chapter situates the “Internment Camps” (as they are referred to in the majority of Internment historiography), within a longer history of expropriation, incarceration and forced migration, reaching as far back as British colonial Massachusetts and the Deer Island “Internment Camp” (1675-76). This chapter is designed to give the reader a deeper appreciation for the historical breadth of this distinct chapter in the …

We used the bibliographic technique and deductive methodology to develop the research. The results at the conclusion evidence that the behavior of political and economic agents has a direct impact on the level of environmental protection. In the United …
