The Efficacy Of Disease-Model Treatment For Substance Abusers, Steve J. Conway

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Participatory observation and staff interviews were utilized to identify the goals and treatment modalities used by the Family Recovery Services (FRS) program. FRS employs the disease model to define certain behaviors as addictions. A questionnaire was developed and administered to former patients of the program. A large group of patients were not currently following the prescribed treatment of participation in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which was the paramount element of the remedy imposed by the FRS program. These individuals reported cessation of substance abuse and improvement in major life areas; however, this would not be interpreted as a successful outcome by …

The Stranglehold Of The Serpent: Myths In Comparison, Aaron C. Niderost

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

To accomplish an analysis of the meaning of the snake in two distinctly different cultures, I have chosen to illustrate and compare snake myths and symbolism in Western folklore, literature, religion (The Bible and Christianity) and psychology with those myths and symbols of snakes in what we might call non-Western cultures. In these non-Western cultures (specifically the Yurok culture of Northwestern California), data will be derived from the analysis of mythology, literature, religion and specific anthropological ethnographies. Furthermore, I will elucidate the role that education plays in the respective cultures in proliferating and propagating these myths. An analysis of the …

Perceptions Of A Moment, Irene G. Brozyna

Theses

The works of art in my graduate exhibition reflect historical and personal influences on my life. The show includes 40 oil paintings (predominately oil pastels) and five watercolors. The works presented are divided into several categories: Genre paintings, Impressionistic paintings, the Boston Series, Figure paintings , Series in White, Still Lifes, the Luminist group, and Watercolors.

The inspirations for the paintings are my personal life experiences and, in some cases, the pieces represent my heritage. Renditions are derived from many styles and artists . However, Luminists, Romanticists and Impressionists are the greatest influences. The show will hang in the Hendren …

From Whence These Rumblings?: Toward An Understanding Of The Structural Pre-Conditions Of Anti-Systemic Mobilization, Nathan H. Wolfson

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

This thesis undertakes a comparative, historical examination of the structural preconditions under which two instances of anti-systemic mobilization occurred (the US Woman Suffrage Movement and the Twentieth Century US Environmental Movement). After a comprehensive examination of the relevant literature covering social movements and related aspects of the social scientific literature, a systematic methodology for this kind of study is developed. The methodology is then applied to the examination of the two historical situations. The comparative examination concludes that key aspects of the literature provide accurate expectations with regard to the interactions of macro-social factors with movement genesis. In particular, political …

An Analysis Of Isenberg's Aesthetic Theory And Its Application To The Works Of Monet And Smokey, Tracee Elizabeth Gross

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy, which attempts to define art using a set of purported characteristics that, when applied to particular pieces, will aid in making discriminations between art and non-art. Aesthetics also traditionally examines the creation, appreciation, and criticism of art. Theories of aesthetics are constructed to assist one in making judgments as to whether or not a piece is art or is beautiful. Ideally, theories serve two primary tasks. The first is to provide an explanation, which will aid in separating out those items not covered in the scope of the theory. Also, theories are used as …

The Philosophy And Politics Of The Concept Of Sustainability, Simon J. Dresner

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

This thesis is a review of literature relating to the concept of sustainability. Political and philosophical underpinnings of the current use of the terms ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable development’ are discussed. The Malthusian debate over ‘natural limits’ is identified as the starting point for the development of the modern concepts. The debate is traced from Malthus’ Essay on Population to the present day. The contemporary debate is then explored in greater depth, focusing on economics, environmental ethics and technology, leading to the conclusion that what underlies current problems identified as ‘environmental’ is a culture based on domination. The culture responds to …

Acquaintance Rape: A Baseline Assessment At Humboldt State University, Kristi Segerstrom Krueger

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

One-hundred-eighty-seven Humboldt State University campus community members (115 females, 72 males) participated in a baseline assessment of acquaintance rape. Using a survey questionnaire composed of closed- and open-ended questions, this study polled the campus community’s perception of acquaintance rape at Humboldt State University, including the efficacy of information dissemination and campus services. Sixty-eight percent of the respondents perceived acquaintance rape as a problem on campus. Fifty-nine percent had not heard or seen information on acquaintance rape. Only seventeen percent of the sample indicated that the campus administration was effective in executing policies and procedures on acquaintance rape. This study clearly …

Heroic Rescuers And Their Motivations: A Comparative Study Of Rescuers In The 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest, And Rescuers Of Jews In Nazi Occupied Europe, Linda E. Ellis

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The purpose of this thesis is to compare the motivations of rescuers during the 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest with the heroic rescuers of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe—who were interviewed by the Altruistic Personality and Prosocial Behavior Institute. The in-depth interviews obtained from the Holocaust rescuers and the 1992 Los Angeles rescuers focused primarily on the motivating factors, that is, why did these ordinary people risk their lives to save diverse others. We asked in the open-ended questionnaire such questions as: "Tell me in your own words why did you get involved in this activity (in this rescue)?" In addition …

Taking A Second Look: Beyond The Comfortable Debate, Randy D. Miller

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Much of the current literature defending or attacking the introduction of multicultural education into the curriculum has centered on the debate around competing ideologies. By staying within these ideological parameters the debate has failed to address the more important underpinnings of the debate. This thesis seeks to review in depth the literature addressing the debate on multicultural education and suggest that the central underpinning is the contested power to produce, control, and legitimate knowledge. Furthermore, it will try to show that a second important underpinning of the debate is the connection between legitimate knowledge and the unequal distribution of resources …

The Effects Of Attitudes, Economics, Sex Roles, And Education On Women's Choice Of Nursing As A Career, M. Teresa G. Mandel

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The primary purpose of this study was to test the general hypothesis that there is a difference in attitudes and perceptions between women entering nursing recently and women who entered nursing fifteen or more years ago. In the past the only professions women generally entered without recrimination were teaching, secretarial and nursing. Today ample opportunities throughout the employment market are emerging. In addition, the available jobs now offer more satisfaction, autonomy and higher salaries than ever before. This raises the question of why women still enter the nursing field. Eight hypotheses covering the dimensions of Strength of Role Identification (SI), …

Military Service: Entry, Interaction And Exit. Exposure To The Military Total Institution And Its Influence On Veteran Readjustment Upon Discharge, Michael Luis Samano C/S

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Clinical observations and empirical evidence have traditionally suggested that Adjustment and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders for military veterans are directly linked to specific stress-creating moments. Using a more sociological based perspective, this study sought a connection between exposure to the military total institution and its’ influence on veteran readjustment upon discharge. This study utilized literature with a focus on PTSD, marginality and total institutions. Coupled with the interviewing of 30 military veterans within an interpretive interactionist framework, this study was able to show a link between entry, interaction, and exit of the military total institution, and a sense of marginality …
