Comparative Regional Integration And Development: A Substantive And Methodological Inquiry, Andrew Nelson White
Comparative Regional Integration And Development: A Substantive And Methodological Inquiry, Andrew Nelson White
Honors Papers
The analysis of communities as optimum sub-societal aggregates, and their distribution and organization in terms of regional groupings is the focus of this paper and of the research undertaken. Developing nations have constantly to cope with nature and effective implementation of their development plans as they strive to add a measure of productivity and progress to their names while trying to overcome the chronic internal problems of overpopulation, underutilization of resources, unemployment, hunger and poor health and education. It is argued here that only by considering the most regular and common units of differentiated yet organized living, that communities represent, …
Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart
Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility and appropriateness of employing a multi-disciplinary approach in the study of urban insurrections in an effort to construct a typology which would include all of the elements common to each disorder. The multi-disciplinary method is necessitated by the biases which are inherent in any analysis that is restricted to either a psychological, sociological, or politico-historical treatment of episodes of collective behavior. All of the disciplines make major contributions to any analysis, but it is the contention of this writer that the disciplines must be integrated before the most accurate depiction …

The Transition To Nazism, The History Of The German Town Of Pfungstadt, 1928 To 1935, David E. Arns
The Transition To Nazism, The History Of The German Town Of Pfungstadt, 1928 To 1935, David E. Arns
Dissertations and Theses
Pfungstadt is a small German town which to date has not earned a footnote in the histories of either the Weimar Republic or the Third Reich. Based upon the efforts of men in towns like Pfungstadt (and towns which were not like Pfungstadt) the members of the Nazi party built a political structure which reached to the pinnacle upon which Adolf Hitler stood. Researching the growth of the Nazi party, the intense struggles that occurred with democratic forces, the seizure of power and the installation of a workable system of government is the problem. This thesis in no way purports …

Personal Freedom And The Environment As Determinants Of Interpersonally Trusting Relationships According To The Views Of Martin Buber, Carl Rogers, Frederick Perls, B.F. Skinner, And Eric Berne, Mary Anna Tuma Mcadams
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Small group interaction, as observed and evaluated by five major spokesmen of the past decade, will be the focal point of this investigation. Martin Buber, Eric Berne, Carl Rogers, B. P. Skinner, and Frederick Perls will each be examined, compared, and contrasted in terms of their views concerning human freedom, the essence of man, and man's relationship to his environment. These ideas expressed by the authors will be reviewed in terms of the possibility and potential for interpersonal trust, the manner in which trust between individuals is initiated, and those variables considered most relevant for the emergence of trust. Each …

Graduate Teaching Assistants:A Study Of Exploitation And Conflict In Higher Education, Lynda Hundertmark
Graduate Teaching Assistants:A Study Of Exploitation And Conflict In Higher Education, Lynda Hundertmark
Sociology ETDs
Since the post-war years of the late 1940's and early 50's, graduate teaching assistants have played an increasingly important role in public higher education. They are now an integral and essential part of undergraduate instruction of these institutions; but they are also important to the universities' obligations for research and public service. Where they are not directly responsible for instructional duties, they have relieved faculty members of most of the routine duties associated with teaching, freeing them for responsibilities which are considered more important for today's society.
Yet, even while assistants are performing many duties once reserved for faculty alone, …
An Attitudinal Survey Of Forty-Four Juvenile Court Counselors Regarding Due Process Standards In Juvenile Cases, Jerry Robert Franklin
An Attitudinal Survey Of Forty-Four Juvenile Court Counselors Regarding Due Process Standards In Juvenile Cases, Jerry Robert Franklin
Dissertations and Theses
In late 19th century America, new schools of criminological thinking asserted that crime had its origins in a complex blend of environmental and social factors rather than in the moral deficiencies of the offender. Partly as a result of this new attitude the handling of offenses by juveniles became differentiated from adult cases, first through the construction of separate penal institutions and, beginning in 1899, through the establishment of courts specializing in juvenile cases.
This study was undertaken to examine the attitudes of juvenile probation officers toward the Supreme Court’s Kent, Gault and Winship decisions which made a number …

Nursing: A Profession In Process, Mary Elizabeth Dilling Rambousek
Nursing: A Profession In Process, Mary Elizabeth Dilling Rambousek
Dissertations and Theses
The general concern of this thesis is with the professional status of nurses in the United States. Specifically, the focus is on the progression of nursing along the occupation continuum toward professionalism. The perspective of this study was adopted from Elliot A. Krause's discussion of "A Historical Perspective" in his "The Sociology of Professions." Krause maintains that an analysis of the past key periods of the history of an occupation can provide a basis for predicting what it will become in the future. The acceleration of change in all aspects of society, and particularly in the role of the nurse …
The Lord's Definition Of Woman's Role As He Has Revealed It To His Prophets Of The Latter Day, Mildred Chandler Austin
The Lord's Definition Of Woman's Role As He Has Revealed It To His Prophets Of The Latter Day, Mildred Chandler Austin
Theses and Dissertations
The Lord has not left women to wonder how to perform during mortality. The teachings of the ten presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have given very satisfying answers to most questions, and have invited women to ask God for inspiration of their own for further, personalized direction.
The counsel of the prophets gives women directions concerning whom, when, and where to marry. However, if the proper opportunities for a Church-recommended marriage don't present themselves, women are told to be patient and to spend their time giving one of the several services for which they are …
A Comparative Study Of The Book Of Mormon Secret Combinations And The American Mafia Organization, Ray G. Morley
A Comparative Study Of The Book Of Mormon Secret Combinations And The American Mafia Organization, Ray G. Morley
Theses and Dissertations
The Book of Mormon and the Book of Moses, sacred scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have woven into their pages a brief history of secret combinations on the "American" continent. Secret combinations have caused the destruction of three previous civilizations that have existed on this continent.
The prophet Moroni warned the Latter-day American inhabitants that "This secret combination... shall be among you..." (Ether 8:24).
The evidence summarized in this study leads one to the conclusion that the American Mafia Organization (Cosa Nostra) is the same organization warned against in sacred scripture.
The Monopoly Study Of Authority, Micheale Hall Williams
The Monopoly Study Of Authority, Micheale Hall Williams
Dissertations and Theses
The Monopoly Study of Authority was an institutional grant project designed to test the variables of authority and protection in a laboratory experiment conducted in the Small Groups Laboratory. Subjects (Ss) were recruited and paid a minimum wage to play Monopoly, while the Experimenter (E) manipulated the relevant variables, observed and video-taped the games.
The hypothesis states that the greater the investment, the more likely will the individual make efforts to protect it. The dimensions of investment were ego involvement (desire to win, competitiveness), and resource commitment (Ss were offered rewards of double-time pay for winning the Monopoly game). Efforts …

The Women's Liberation Movement And Identity Change : An Urban Pilot Study, Molly M. Doeneka
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in Women's Liberation results in identity change in the individual participants. As a pilot study, it examines the characteristic experiences of a study group of twenty-six local participants and compares the effects of their participation with a theoretical model of identity change process proposed by Ward H. Goodenough in Cooperation in Change. According to this model the process of identity change is a consequence of specific kinds of realizations fostered by a series of definable stages which are: 1) achieving a desire for identity change, 2) making a commitment to …
