Paper Abstract:
Discussion of hate speech and free speech. Campus speech codes. Media enforcement of PC on writers; example of Los Angeles Times guidelines. Issue of whether college campus speech codes violate free speech, or if they are the right way to address the problem of hate speech. Philosophy of the PC movement.
Paper Introduction:
One of the important issues today is described under the title "Political Correctness," or "PC." It is defined as efforts by certain political groups, primarily those on the left, to enforce a form of speech code so as to regulate speech to ban any term or phrase that might be considered demeaning to any group in society. One of the problems with these efforts is the vagueness of the terms used to define it--what is "demeaning," and how is it to be decided when a given phrase is demeaning or not? Richard Goldstein writes, "The perception of crisis is why hate speech has become a divisive issue among progressives. The distressing force of the current backlash against hard-won minority rights creates a fundamental conflict between our commitment to free expression and our desire to protect and preserve the victims of abuse. The result is an

Paper Introduction:
Literature Review: Feminization of Poverty
Introduction
The purpose of this review of literature was to examine issues relevant to the feminization of poverty. To that end, a comprehensive computerized search of two databases was undertaken. The databases were PsychLit, a database containing entries on psychology and other social sciences. The second database was ERIC, a database oriented toward education and also includes scholarly articles, theses, dissertations, and monographs among which the feminization of poverty figures.

Analysis of causes of violent behavior in the U.S. Combination of poverty, right wing religious fervor, family structure, television, American past. Rise of teen violence.. Cites demographics as playing a major role in aggression (gulf between the haves and have-nots). Contends that laws have failed to prevent aggressive behavior.
Paper Introduction:
DO DEMOGRAPHICS AFFECT AGGRESSION AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR?
INTRODUCTION
It is easy to speculate that crowded urban conditions foment aggressive behavior. We constantly are reminded of that through the media in racially-motivated riots in Britain, as well as violence in schools, playgrounds, in housing projects and on the streets of decaying urban environments. However, as this overview will show, it is not necessarily the sociological gulf between the have’s and the have-nots, but the psychological distance among juveniles as well as adults which brings aggressive behavior to the fore.
Poverty, minority prejudice, harassment and bullying in school, “ghetto” housing, even the media’s portrayal of “The Ame

Paper Abstract:
Factors that lead to racial profiling. Law enforcement profiling of African Americans. Profiling of Middle Eastern, Muslim and Arab students in U.S. Colleges since 9/11. Security concerns since attack on U.S. Arab-Americans and Muslim students protest of FBI targeting them for questioning and detainment. Potential political and social significance.
Paper Introduction:
Racial Profiling and Muslim Students in the U.S.
The issue to be analyzed herein centers on the process of how a social problem emerges and becomes a part of the social agenda in a country. The specific problem to be considered is the recent profiling and interviewing of Middle Eastern students living and studying in the United States.
Racial profiling had typically been understood in the United States as centered upon law enforcement apprehension of African-Americans in general and African-Americans in particular. Kenneth Meeks (2000), in an analysis of racial profiling that targeted African-Americans, argued that at the heart of racial profiling were the vestiges of institutional racism and deeply entrenched social perceptions of African-American males as more likely than others to be criminal or to

Paper Abstract:
Examines why female victims of domestic abuse don't leave the abusive relationship. Issues of denial of violence, delay of treatment or help. Three phases of domestic violence and abuse. Three-stage cycle of violence. Need for intervention for IVP (Intimate Partner Violence) in emergency departments of hospitals or physician's office. Two types of batterers.
Paper Introduction:
Standing By Their Man: Battered Women Who Don’t Leave
A battered woman is faced with repeated acts of violence by her intimate partner (IP), who is can be a husband, boyfriend, or former spouse (Help for the. . ., 2000). Such abuse may be physical, sexual, and/or psychological, and can lead to serious physical or psychological damage and, in some instance, even to death. Over one-third of all female murder victims are killed by their male partners, a statistic indicative of the degree to which domestic violence has become commonplace in American society (Help for the. . ., 2000).
At issue herein is the important question of when, why and how female victims of domestic abuse elect to leave the abusive relationship. In conducting preliminary research for this topic, a major difficulty was encountered: for the most part, the publis

Paper Abstract:
Examines causes of violence in U.S. society. Focus on theory of Dr. James Gilligan regarding the nature and origins o different forms of violence. Discusses two works dealing with social alientation in light of Gilligan's theory. THE FIRE NEXT TIME by James Baldwin and THE AGE OF MISSING INFORMATION by Bill McKibben.
Paper Introduction:
Dr. James Gilligan, in an insightful study of violence among men, theorizes a cycle of poverty, shame, violence and punishment that is continually perpetuated in modern American society, aided in no small part by our penal system. His book Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and its Causes delves into the nature and origins of violence, hinging the crux of his theory upon the notion that “The different forms of violence, whether toward individuals or entire populations, are motivated (caused) by feelings of shame” (111). Under the umbrella of shame are huddled some devastating psychological companions: humiliation, absence of self-love, and ultimately, numbness. It is precisely this numbness, this death of self, that can lay a foundation for “acting out”(the expression of thought by actions rather than words), from which violence may be unleashed.

Paper Abstract:
Examines the politics of culture and race as an issue in adoptions and foster care placement. Adoption & foster care policy in the U.S. and its effects. Policy of race-matching and adverse effect on placement of minority & at-risk children. Opposition to transracial placement. Congressional actions to end historical bias against interracial adoptions and foster care placement.
Paper Introduction:
Policy Analysis: Culture and Foster Care Placement
Definition of the Problem
The question of culture and race has been integral
to the debate over formal adoption and foster care placement policy in the United States (Banks, 1998). The politics of race and culture as a visible manifestation of racial and/or ethnic
differences has been intertwined with adoption and foster care policy in the United States and has resulted in a number of unintended effects. Banks (1998) has pointed out that in both scholarly and public debate centered on this policy issue, there has been a protracted and intense controversy focused on the practice of race-matching, according to which foster care or adoptive children and foster parents or adoptive parents are matched by social work personnel on the basis of race.

Paper Abstract:
Examines the observations of several writers regarding public school education. Impact of poverty and employment opportunities. Social problem of poor children and inequalities in public schools. Ramificatiions of the decline of funding of inner-city schools. Racial disparities & effect on education. Contends that Jonathan Kozol's analysis, and his views on contemporary racial segragation, is the most accurate.
Paper Introduction:
Certain ideas about the relationship among education, poverty, and employment opportunities are assumed by much of society. It is assumed first that gaining a formal education is a key to achieving advancement and to attaining employment opportunities. Poverty is seen as reducing one's ability to gain an education, just as gaining an education is seen as a way of overcoming poverty. The social importance of education is emphasized again and again in the literature on education and also in the literature on various social problems. The writers under discussion here analyze these questions in various ways.
Jonathan Kozol in Savage Inequalities takes the position that the structure of education in American society is based on a two-tiered system which leaves the poorer children behind in terms of the education they can receive. This is a new form of

Paper Introduction:
Green Card Marriages: Abuses in the System
Introduction and Background of the Problem
Every year, over 160,000 citizens of the United States marry foreign-born persons and petition for them to obtain permanent residence in the U.S. Spouses of American citizens are considered, under the immigration laws, to be “immediate relatives” and are therefore exempt from all numerical immigration quota limitations (Shusterman, p. 1). In essence, marriage to a U.S. citizen is a fast track to the possession of the much-valued “green card,” that represents the preliminary document needed to become an American citizen (Ferreira, p. 1).
When an alien marries a U.S. citizen and applies for a green card, under the law, the couple enters a two-year probation during which the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IN

Paper Introduction:
Poverty & Welfare
Conservative & Liberal Views
Poverty and welfare are generally interdependent, for it is the poor who welfare programs aim to help. The debate among conservatives and liberals over poverty and welfare involves distinct disagreements, ideologies, and views about the roles of government. So, too, the backgrounds of conservatives and liberals are often distinct which posits different values between groups. In 1996 Congress passed and President Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (Welfare 2002). Up until this time liberals had mainly controlled the shape of welfare policies in U.S. government. This Act radically changed the American welfare system and shifted U.S. policy to the conservative view. The main changes in the Act

Paper Abstract:
Correlation between life expectancy and socioeconomic inequality. Higher life expectancy in developed nations than in developing nations. Three key socioeconomic factors: nutrition, clean water supply, access to health services. Different risk factors in affluent countries and developing countries. Effect of socioeconomic inequality among populations in the same country. Inequitable distribution of resources.
Paper Introduction:
With each passing year, the average life expectancy of the global population has increased. However, a meaningful interpretation of the increase in the average life expectancy cannot take place without a detailed analysis of the average life expectancy of individual countries and the regions. In Dan Smith’s book, The State of the World Atlas, all Western industrialized countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, along with the nations of Western Europe have the life expectancy range of 75 and above. In contrast, in other regions, only Japan and Singapore in Asia, Chile in South America, Costa Rica in Central America, as well as United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait in the Middle East have the same life expectancy. Most of the nations in these regions have the next highest life expectancy range of 65 to 74. What is most

Paper Introduction:
On Being a Muslim in America
In 2000, then-President Bill Clinton commented that many Muslims living in the United States faced discrimination and intolerance, leading the U.S. Senate to pass a solemn resolution inveighing against the discrimination and harassment suffered by the American Muslim community (Pipes, 2000). These actions were spurred by complaints and agitation on the part of organizations speaking on behalf of the growing Muslim population in the United States, including the American Muslim Council (AMC) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). For many Muslims, even in the years prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, being a Muslim in the largely Judeo-Christian United States presented real challenges – challenges that were the result of a general lack of knowledge in the country reg

Relation to social-science methodology of Foucault. Its concern with social and psychological norms, customs, practices, attitudes and physical strength; power relationships.

Paper Introduction:
This research examines feminist standpoint theory as a sociological method. The research will set forth the context in which feminist standpoint theory emerged, and then discuss how Patricia Hills Collins extends the theory to include race and gender factors of analysis and critique.
Feminist standpoint theory appears to have much in common with the social-science methodology of Michel Foucault, which locates the analyst in a posture of opposition to, or difference from, long-established intellectual traditions of the social structure in general and the sociological discipline in particular. Two related concepts associated with this posture are archeology and genealogy. Foucault's archeology refers to the overall structure of knowledge, which includes a shared "knowledge" about society, or the social structure itself, and opera

Paper Introduction:
Industrial Capitalism has created an under-class which was far worse off than peasants and farmers, even during the Dark Ages. While Swift captured the pity of his readers at the outset, by concentrating on the poor, starving children in the streets:
I think it is agreed by all parties that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently, their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance (Swift 1729 1).
It seems that Swift, renowned as a satirist, was concerned that if he concentrated on poor adults, he would not gain the attention of readers, or of the

Introduction
Over the last 20 years in the city of Los Angeles at least 10,000 African American and Latino young men have died due to gang activity and gang warfare (Vigil, 2002). As large as that figure is it is still only a portion of the deaths attributable to gang violence in the United States. Although several studies have been done on the nature of gangs and gang warfare, few have been done on the various reasons that teenagers and children join gangs. This paper will review and critique five studies on gangs and gang violence in light of the question: What causes a teenager or child to join a gang.

Discusses issues from perspective of aging and sociological factors. Increase in number of grandparents taking on role of primary caregiver for grandchildren. Reasons for this trend. Physical, emotional, mental and economic affects on grandparents. Need for public policy changes and welfare reform to address this growing family pattern.
Paper Introduction:
Grandparents resuming the role of parents of young children is a growing phenomenon today, with grandparents raising their grandchildren in the absence of the biological parents. Although many grandparents have always informally cared for their grandchildren, the number of grandparents as primary caregivers has increased. Since 1970, the number of grandparents raising their grandchildren has almost doubled. In the 1990s, “the number of grandparent maintained households increased by 19 percent from 2,051,000 in 1990 to 2,444,000 in 1997” (Bryson & Casper 1). The 2000 U.S. Census reported that there are more than 6 million children in the United States who live in grandparent, and other relative, maintained households. About 2.4 million grandparent caregivers are responsible for meeting their grandchildren’s basic needs. The March 2000 Current

It is estimated that there are as many as four million homeless people now living in the United States, a figure that incorporates people of all ages and, most significantly, an increasing number of school-age and preschool-age children (Boxhill, 1990). Families constitute almost 38 percent of the nation's homeless, while 27 percent are children and 14 percent are single women (Hess, 2000). At all levels of American society, policy makers and program managers have worked to develop meaningful responses to the problems of the homeless, seeking prevention and intervention strategies that have the potential for reducing, ameliorating, or eliminating the problem and its negative consequences and effects. Because the homeless

Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
The sex industry in Thailand represents a major social problem in a developing part of the world and contributes to the continued subjugation of women in the region. The trade is fueled by young women migrating from rural to urban regions, often recruited for this very purpose, and also depends on the importation of women from rural regions in nearby countries, notably Burma. The trade has shifted much of the population, as might be expected, and so has also reduced the number of women agricultural workers remaining in rural regions.
CONTEXT
The Vietnam War has direct responsibility for the development of the sex industry in Thailand because during that conflict, U.S. troops used Thailand as a rest and recreation

Paper Introduction:
Adolescent Boys, Family Life & Gangs
Introduction
Youth gangs are usually defined as groups of young people who frequently engage in illegal activity on a group basis (Rogers, 1991, p. 20). Generally, 90 to 95 percent of gang members are males, many of them adolescent males (Curry & Decker, 1998, p. 97). Gangs are usually territorial in nature, identifying with a particular neighborhood and protecting their "turf" from encroachment by other gangs. Better organized gangs often control economically motivated crime such as burglary, extortion or drug-trafficking at the neighborhood level. They may also sell "protection" from criminal activity to legitimate merchants (Rogers, 1991, p. 20). Generally, youth gangs exploded in the 1980s in what one researcher called "an historic American urban social problem" (Rogers, 1991, p. 20).

Paper Abstract:
Discusses spousal & child abuse, elder abuse. Strengths & weaknesses of 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); legal issues.
Paper Introduction:
The problem of family violence, particularly the abuse and neglect of children, has only recently captured public attention. Abuse in such cases includes physical beatings, emotional or psychological abuse, and sexual exploitation directed against women, children and even the elderly (Perrucci & Knudsen, 1990). Neglect involves failure to provide for the physical and social needs of a female partner, elderly dependent, or child through lack of adequate food, shelter, protection, or other care. It is impossible to identify the extent of child abuse and neglect in this country, but estimates of physical abuse of children range from 50,000 to 100,000 cases annually in the United States; one estimate suggests that at least 14 percent of all American children are physically mistreated seriously enough each year to qualify as abused (Perrucci & Knudsen, 1990).

Discusses the possibility of introducing legalized gambling in the state of New York. The economic impact is analyzed & the experience of Indian gaming is examined.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
The issue of the legalization of casino gambling in the state of New York involves a number of concerns on the part of legislators and the public. Such matters as the possible involvement of organized crime, the impact of institutionalized gambling on society, the impact on existing forms of gambling, the impact on state revenues of casino gambling, and questions about employment, as well as the effect on social services, moral issues, and so on. The state can look to nearby states for evidence of what happens when casino gambling is adopted, since both Connecticut and New Jersey provide such evidence and can serve as models for what could happen in New York both positively and negatively. Casino gambling is recommended as a way of raising money for various state programs through the power of

Paper Abstract:
Discusses the socio-economic factors that were the precursors to the 1992 L.A. riots. Focuses on the fact that there were actually two riots, one fueled by black anger & another by recent Central American immigrants.
Paper Introduction:
Problem Formulation
In April 1992 Los Angeles experienced the worst riot in an American city when the first of the juries trying the police officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King acquitted those officers. The resulting riot has been portrayed in the media as largely a black and white affair, with frustrated Blacks rioting against the white power structure that they see as responsible not only for these verdicts but for the underlying racism and racial oppression they have experienced in the past. Yet, statistics show that this is not an accurate picture of the demographics of the city or what happened in the riots.
The Hispanic and Asian-American populations in the city of Los Angeles increased dramatically during the 1980s, while the Anglo and African-American populations decreased. By 1990, 40

Paper Abstract:
Argument against FCC regulation of television violence.
Paper Introduction:
Television violence is seen today as a major social problem contributing to the growing violence in our streets. Because of this, there have been calls for government intervention and for some form government censorship whereby the FCC would find a way to regulate television violence. Such a move would be unconstitutional and unproductive. It would embroil the government in an area where it does not belong. It is based on unclear research in the first place, but even if the research is accepted so that we see televised violence as dangerous, we still have other, non-governmental means of dealing with them.
One such means is the V-chip, which has been sought by parents as a way of making decisions for their children while still allowing adults to watch what they want. Such an approach

Dealing With Stereotypes in Creating Culturally Competent OT
Introduction
Although the United States has always been a nation of immigrants, it is becoming even more diverse. This is reflected in an increasingly diverse work force that is expected to be more than 50% female and minority by the 21st century, and it is reflected in the practices of occupational therapists.
The intent in the following pages is to look briefly at some of the groups that occupational therapists may encounter in their practice, and some of the ways that occupational therapists can become more culturally competent in working with diverse groups.

Paper Abstract:
Examination of the types of services social workers perform in the adoption process.
Paper Introduction:
Adoption is a process that is difficult for those involved, emotionally wrenching, and legally complex. Often a social worker has a role in this process and serves a number of purposes for the benefit of the woman who is giving up a child, for the welfare of the child, and for the support of the adoptive parents. When a woman makes the difficult decision to give up her baby, the social worker can serve a role as counsellor, nurturer, agent, and facilitator. An examination of certain situations can show the types of service a social worker performs in the adoption process.
Adoption research is a procedure followed in child welfare work. Earlier in this century, there were calls for research to assist in moving toward a scientific basis for child placement. However, the reality that has developed has not fulfilled this hope.

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of the political debate concerning cigarette advertising & the FDA efforts to regulate nicotine as a drug. Includes an annotated bibliography.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
Cigarette smoking has been marginalized in American society for some time. The process began with the Surgeon General's Report in the 1960s, followed by laws removing cigarette commercials from television. The program continues to this day with further efforts to eliminate smoking from restaurants, the workplace, and other public sites, and to prevent young people from taking up smoking in the first place. One of the most recent efforts has been an Executive Order signed by President Clinton to limit tobacco advertising in any form aimed at teens and to set other limits on the industry. This proposal has been published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is soliciting public comments before the order is implemented and before Congress takes up legislation either implementing this

Paper Abstract:
Argues that, since teens are going to have sex anyway, we should accept it & provide free birth control.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
Teenage sexuality creates many problems in American society and is seen as contributing to the high rate of illegitimate births, the perpetuation of poverty, the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and various other social problems related to what has come to be called "children having children." The issue has been studied from a variety of perspectives with an eye to ascertaining the nature of the problem, the response of society, and many other issues. The current battle in schools and other institutions is between those who have capitulated and who believe that the best way to reduce pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases is through the distribution of condoms and those who believe that discouraging teenage sex is the answer and who therefore support programs of abstinence. The reality falls

Paper Abstract:
Argues that prostitution should be legalized for various medical, social, & crime reasons.
Paper Introduction:
Prostitution should be legalized for a number of reasons. Some of these include increased control society could exercise over prostitution through taxation, medical inspections, and similar actions that cannot be taken now because so much of prostitution is underground. The fact that prostitution is illegal creates more crime rather than less, preventing necessary controls from being implemented and creating a situation where there is greater danger to the public. The experience in Nevada is instructive, for legal prostitution there has brought revenue to the state, protected women from exploitation by pimps, and reduced the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases through medical inspections and certification.
In 1994, a task force in San Francisco recommended that city
