The United States Great Britain And The Status Of Thailand (Siam), 1940-1946, Peter Goodwin

History Theses & Dissertations

This paper traces the changes in the attitudes and policies of the United States towards the Southeast Asian country of Thailand during the Second World War. From a position of indifference the United States assumed an active role in the emergence of Thailand as a sovereign nation at the conclusion of the war, encouraging pro-American factions and opposing a traditional power of the area, Great Britain.

The emphasis of the paper is on the different attitudes held by Britain and the United States and the efforts to reconcile them. The British expected recompense by the Thais for allying themselves with …

Some Non-Religious Views Against Proposed 'Mercy-Killing' Legislation Part Ii, Yale Kamisar

Articles

There have been and there will continue to be compelling circumstances when a doctor or relative or friend will violate The Law On The Books and, more often than not, receive protection from The Law In Action. But this is not to deny that there are other occasions when The Law On The Books operates to stay the hand of all concerned, among them situations where the patient is in fact ( 1 ) presently incurable, ( 2) beyond the aid of any respite which may come along in his life expectancy, suffering ( 3 ) intolerable and ( 4) …

Some Non-Religious Views Against Proposed 'Mercy-Killing' Legislation Part I, Yale Kamisar

Articles

In essence, Williams' specific proposal is that death be authorized for a person in the above situation "by giving the medical practitioner a wide discretion and trusting to his good sense." This, I submit, raises too great a risk of abuse and mistake to warrant a change in the existing law. That a proposal entails risk of mistake is hardly a conclusive reason against it. But neither is it irrelevant. Under any euthanasia program the consequences of mistake, of course, are always fatal. As I shall endeavor to show, the incidence of mistake of one kind or another is likely …

The U.S. - U.S.S.R. Nuclear Balance: Present And Future, Bruce Levinson

Honors Papers

The purpose of this paper will be to arrive at some sort of understanding about the real importance of nuclear weapons in the hands of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., something which has not been done heretofore in as skilled a fashion as is possible. There are a number of reasons for this, some of which are worth looking into because of the impact they have had on the actual policies of the United States.

The U.S. Office Of War Information And American Public Opinion During World War Ii, 1939-1945, David Lloyd Jones

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The people who are the power entitled to say what they want, are less qualified to say how, and in what form, they are to obtain it, or in other words, public opinion can determine ends, but is less fit to examine and select means to those ends. (James Bryce, The American Commonwealth Vol. I, p. 361)

This study examines the United States government’s domestic information agencies, the formulation of information policy, and the effects of that information policy upon the nation during the Second World War. In exploring information policy and techniques, the study analyzes the epistemological axiom, “What …

A Reconsideration Of The Commercial Banking Imputation In The Official Us National Accounts, Georg Michael Mehl

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The difficulties encountered in the measurement of Gross Income and Product Originating in the commercial banking industry according to the conventions of the National Income and Product Accounts are a subset of a much larger philosophical question. This query deals with the definition and identification of the output produced by all of the so-called “tertiary” industries, of which banking is just a small part.

Over the past several decades, as the world's industrialized economies have grown and become more complex, economists have noted that an increasing proportion of Gross Product Originating (GPO) has been generated by the tertiary sector, relative …

An Argument For The Unconstitutionality Of De Facto Racial Segregation In Public Education, Craig Stover Cooley

Master's Theses

The intent of this paper is to show an affirmative duty on the part of all governments (national and State) to eliminate racial imbalances, whether they be "de jure" or "de facto", from the public schools. The thesis of this paper is that racial segregation is violative of the Constitution of the United States. No distinction need be made between State imposed or State tolerated racial im- balance. Failure to take affirmative action to eliminate segregation and its detrimental effects on black public school students is a transgression of the rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment and the interstices of …

Occupational And Geographic Mobility In San Francisco, 1870-1890, Jill Siegel Dodd

Honors Papers

This study will focus on social mobility in San Francisco in the late nineteenth century. The question I want to answer is, does the quantitative evidence available support the contention that nineteenth century America was a land in which a man was free to rise as far as his talents could carry him? More specifically, I will closely examine a representative sample of 1009 San Francisco, residents. I gathered this sample from the Federal manuscript census of 1870, and then traced its members through San Francisco's city directories through 1890. In this way, I have sought to uncover meaningful patterns …

The Development Of A Course Of Study In Fda Drug Regulatory Procedures, Robin Adele Wills

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this thesis to develop a course of study for pharmacy schools on drug regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A summarization of the history of the development of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and of pharmacy education reveals a lack of interface between the two. The necessity for the interface of pharmacy education and the agency which has significant control over the products forming the basis of the pharmacy profession will be made apparent. A period of residency through which the course of study on drug regulation by the FDA was to …
