A Comparison Of Incarcerated And Non-Incarcerated Women Based On The M.M.P.I., Rose Marie Carter

Masters Theses

The field for research on women offenders provides an extensive opportunity for scientific investigation. Many writers (Gibbons, 1971; Cunningham, 1964; Sutherland, 1968) have discussed the causes of crime and their resulting social implications. Organized mass presentations of the movement of crime among women is negligible. Today female incarcerates make up approximately 11 per cent (Lerner, 1972) of the total number in state and federal penitentiaries. Previous research (Cunningham, 1964) on female felons found poor self-concept, excessive dependency and pathological emotionality to be a consistent pattern in women criminals. Other research (Apfeldorf, 1971; Guze, 1959) found criminal and non-criminal groups could …

Homosexual Recall Of Parent-Child Relationships: A Sampling Problem?, Tim J. Cain

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to try to determine whether or not the way that a homosexual recalled his parent child relationships might be a function of the population from which he was drawn.

The primary hypothesis of this paper was that attitudes would not differ significantly between homosexual and heterosexual groups. A secondary hypothesis was that attitudes would not differ significantly between groups in each area covered; therapy, social action, and non-social action.

Sixty male homosexuals and 60 male heterosexuals volunteered to participate in this study.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The problem of this thesis is to describe, classify, and analyze the formal responses that the white Christian churches made to Mr. Forman and the Black Manifesto. Such a problem encompasses a consideration of the following questions: What responses did the church give? What patterns developed within the responses? Why did the churches respond in the manner they did?

The Divided Consciousness In Charles Dickens' Hard Times, Earl Paul Seymour

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

What I shall do in this paper is apply Frye’s concept of romance to Hard Times, i.e., Frye's defining romance as a device for using archetypes. The novel, as Frye sees it, is a vehicle whereby “realism” or life-like representation is applied. Hard Times contains “stylized figures” which thematically and formalistically support the dehumanization concept Dickens is portraying. Thus Dickens turned, as it were, toward a potentially revolutionary form within which to accomodate what is in many ways his most original piece of writing.

Gold Dredging In California, Warren Ronald Blomquist

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The principles of placer mining, no matter what the type, are the same. A device such as a pan, sluice, or a dredge is used in combination with water to extract the gold. from the material in which it was deposited. Likewise, the motive for all types of placer mining was the same; to obtain the most gold with a minimum of costs.

Dredging is the most recent method used in California to mine placer deposits. The question of primary concern surrounding this seemingly profitable industry is: Why did gold dredging come to a grinding halt in 1968? Lesser concerns …

The Crucible Of Conversation: A Study Of Jamesean Dialogue, Betsy B. Aswad

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

My own initial bemused reaction to the language of Henry James I can place in a classroom in 1960 where, with a class of fellow English majors—-old hands, all of us, at Faulkner and Joyce–I was, in the first chapters of The Wings of the Dove, as “awfully at sea” as Merton Densher was when he first met Kate Croy. A timid question drew from the professor probably the best advice that can be given to a novice at reading James: “You can't just skim James, you know; you have to read every word.” Later, teaching The Turn of the …

The Dramaturgy Of Sławomir Mrożek, Regina Grol-Prokopczyk

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The focus of this dissertation is the dramaturgy of Sławomir Mrożek. The study was triggered by a striking disproportion in Mrożekian criticism. There is a multitude of minor articles and reviews, but not a single monographic study devoted to the dramatist and his work. Such a state of affairs resulted from some accidental factors. In Poland where Mrożek is very well known and appreciated, the official ban imposed on him during the past five years precluded any book on him from appearing. In the West, the absence of a full-length critical study on Mrożek might be attributed to the fact …

The Imagery Of Time And Season In The German Baroque And Romantic Poetry, Jane Muenzer Mehl

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Historians of German literature generally agree that the decisive turning point in the reappraisal of German Baroque literature was largely due to Heinrich Wölfflin’s seminal study Renaissance und Barock: Eine Untersuchung über Wesen und Entstehung des Barockstils in ltalien (1888). This monograph on the development of architecture in Rome represents the first significant attempt to distinguish Renaissance and Baroque art using purely structural terms. In it Wölfflin rejects an Aristotelian view of art as the imitation of nature and redefines art history as the study of artistic styles of different epochs, nations, and individuals, expressing distinct philosophies of life, aspirations, …

An Examination Of The Sacramental Vision Of Dylan Thomas: Its Sources, Analogues And Its Expression In His Poetry, Margaret A. Hardesty

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Amid the twentieth-century prophets of man’s total and final disintegration, against the age’s portrayers of the incurable malaise and disease gripping society, the voice of Dylan Thomas sounds as a counterpoint, evincing a note of optimism for man and society, expressing a hope that both might achieve reintegration, and, thereby, a new life. This optimistic note, this expression of hope evolved from a vision which gradually possessed Thomas and became the lodestar of all his poetic endeavors. He moved away from an uneasy, pessimistic pantheism in his youth to a firm joyousness in the conviction that all things are holy …

The Russian Judicial Reform Of 1864; Its Origins And Development, 1825-1864, Stephen Wilson Mcintire

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The Russian Judicial Reform of 1864 has been hailed as one of Alexander II's “Great Reforms.” For it, along with the emancipation of the serfs, the creation of the zemstvos and, somewhat later, the military reforms, he inherited the appellation “Tsar-Liberator.” Most historians have regarded him as an enlightened and liberal monarch who intentionally set out to change fundamentally the constitutional foundations of the Russian Empire. In contrast, these same historians have consistently viewed his father and predecessor, Nicholas I, as a reactionary opponent of all change. Once freed from Nicholas’ tyrannical rule, the Russian people were then able to …

Psychic Wholeness In Blake And Jung, Walter B. Gallant

Honors Theses

There is no doubt that for most modern readers the work of William Blake is an enigma. I should like to suggest that the work of the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung offers one way to bring a sense of order and meaning to Blake's work.

The French Influence On Eighteenth - Century English Literature, Linda Jane Grow

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The development of English literature in the eighteenth century was strongly influenced by France and French writers. Lately there has been an attempt to belittle the French influences. It is true that in the past the Gallic influence has been exaggerated, but it really cannot be overlooked.

Historically it is true to treat England and France as one country in respect to their literary activity between the middle of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Roughly, there were about 100 years, between the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the execution of Louis XIV in 1793, during which there was …

Directing Of Mice And Men, James Leavell Edwards

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The work of the playwright is necessarily an interpretation and reflection of his time. The work of the company in a theatrical production is necessarily an interpretation and reflection of the playwright as he is seen through their own time. These works are readily perceived by the audience in the living theatre experiences through the sensory impressions of their eyes and ears.

In contrast to that which the audience perceives, the world of the director is unknown. Despite the fact that he is the premier artistic coordinator, his job is completed when the curtain rises, with the spectators viewing the …

Sir Thomas Wyatt And The Struggle Of The "Weried Mynde", Susan Eichenfeld Ashton

Dissertations

When the poetry of Sir Thomas Wyatt has attracted critical attention at all, it has been both praised and blamed for a variety of reasons, often the wrong reasons. Wyatt's role in the historical development of English verse, as the poet who introduced such forms as the sonnet, the rondeau, and terza-rima into English poetry, has been emphasized, while the originality and innovativeness of his poetry have been largely neglected,

Siegmund Lubin: Moving Picture Pioneer 1851-1923, John Arthur Helley

Theses

Siegmund Lubin came to the United States of America in 1867, and six years later, after various setbacks, established an optical business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Experiments in his leisure time led him to a career in moving pictures. His success and accomplishments in the period of two decades were entangled in legal battles which resulted in his return to the optical business.

Mr. Lubin built several studios across the United States in a westward expansion. His studio in Coronado, California in 1915–16, with eastern controls, proved to have been typical of the western studio during the early motion picture days. …
