Painting Outside Of The Lines: How Race Assignment Can Be Rethought Through Art, Giovanni Mella-Velazquez
Painting Outside Of The Lines: How Race Assignment Can Be Rethought Through Art, Giovanni Mella-Velazquez
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
For centuries art has been used to make us think about our own human experiences. Unfortunately, works usually reflect the era which they were painted in; this has led to various artists showing, maintaining, and therefore reinforcing racist thoughts in our cultures. Art can be used to create a new narrative for our race assignments and their meanings. The idea of loving one's roots has been prevalent in many cultures, but in art form a disconnect between history and the everyday experience can arise which could miss the mark in helping us redefine our own race. Therefore, artwork which empowers …
Applying Classical Realism, Institutional Liberalism And Normative Theory To The Development And Distribution Of A Covid-19 Vaccine, Timothy Fay
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
The development of a safe and effective Coronavirus vaccine has dominated the concerns of the international community over the course of the last six months. While the global community agrees on the importance of its development, it is not entirely clear how a vaccine will be distributed globally. The implications of which entity, whether a state or private company, develops a trusted vaccine first and how efficiently and equitably that vaccine is distributed are yet to be seen. Using Classical Realism, Institutional Liberalism, and Normative Theory, this paper seeks to discuss and analyze how the development of a vaccine will …

Invisible Labor: Job Satisfaction And Exploitation Among Female Domestic Workers In Pakistan, Ajwa Zulfiqar
Invisible Labor: Job Satisfaction And Exploitation Among Female Domestic Workers In Pakistan, Ajwa Zulfiqar
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
The aim of this research was to look at the levels of job satisfaction among female domestic workers in Lahore and its association with the exploitation they face at work. Paid domestic service is not a part of the formal economy of Pakistan, thus there is no legal or political framework protecting workers. Informal work raises domestic workers’ chances of facing exploitation during employment in various forms. Sociological research conducted in this subject is very minimal, which is why this research was important to assess the working conditions of female domestic workers and how satisfied did they feel with their …
Sanctuary In The City Of Brotherly Love: Probing The Effectiveness And Broader Implications Of Philadelphia’S Sanctuary City Policies, Thomas A. Koenig
Sanctuary In The City Of Brotherly Love: Probing The Effectiveness And Broader Implications Of Philadelphia’S Sanctuary City Policies, Thomas A. Koenig
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
Amidst the already fraught politics of immigration, “sanctuary” policies, whereby state and local law enforcement agencies limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement authorities to varying degrees, have emerged as a particularly contentious issue. This paper sifts past the political vitriol surrounding the issue of “sanctuary” and uses original survey research in Philadelphia to answer a straightforward question: Are these policies working? That is, are the city of Philadelphia’s sanctuary policies actually building trust between its undocumented residents and local law enforcement, thereby laying the groundwork for higher rates of crime reporting and safer communities? My results from a survey …
Attracting Newcomers To Canada’S Prairie West, 1896-1905: The Selling Of The West And The Persuasiveness Within The Government’S Promotional Booklets, Joshua L. Switzer
Attracting Newcomers To Canada’S Prairie West, 1896-1905: The Selling Of The West And The Persuasiveness Within The Government’S Promotional Booklets, Joshua L. Switzer
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
Abstract: The prairie west of Canada was, nearing the turn of the twentieth century, considered to be empty, having not yet reached its assimilatory, and resource, economic, social or cultural potential. Many politicians, especially Clifford Sifton, sought to change this. Sifton eventually made Canada’s population increase a reality. He masterminded the most successful promotional campaign within Canada’s immigration policy to ever stretch the parameters of inclusion for enlarging the Canadian mosaic. The largest phenomenon of human migration to the Canadian prairie west was between 1896 and 1905. Sifton’s intercontinental and overseas promotional campaign became the magnet of attraction for newcomers …
Naturalistic Child Observation, Rachel Bradley
Naturalistic Child Observation, Rachel Bradley
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
Among the many different research methods available naturalistic observation is one of the oldest forms. In this paper advantages and disadvantages of naturalistic observation will be discussed, followed by observations of two preschool children to determine which developmental stage they place in Piaget’s cognitive development theory. The results found that each child fit within Piaget's cognitive development theory with each exhibiting different spheres of the preoperational stage. Further research could look at gender differences or certain behavioral incidences only.
Finding And Explaining Discrepancies In Beliefs And Actions: Understanding Implicit Racism In Christianity, Jaycob S. Applegate, James N. Maples
Finding And Explaining Discrepancies In Beliefs And Actions: Understanding Implicit Racism In Christianity, Jaycob S. Applegate, James N. Maples
Gettysburg Social Sciences Review
Homogeneity in Christian congregations provides a unique opportunity to indirectly examine prejudice and color-blind racism. Although Christianity holds progressive beliefs regarding social injustice, persistent beliefs about individual free will offers a potential contradiction in how a practitioner approaches the idea of racial equality. In this study, the authors examine how religious affiliation might shape one’s perceptions of Black persons by examining colorblind racism. Using 2016 General Social Survey data and difference of means and Pearson correlation analysis, the researchers find a significant correlation in survey respondents identifying as being Christian and believing Black persons have a lack of will power. …
