Paper Abstract:
Compares cultural studies of social history of Iranian carpets & annual cycle of (Japanese) Shinto rituals.
Paper Introduction:
Leonard Helfgott and John K. Nelson have chosen very different vantage points from which to study the cultures of Iran and Japan. Yet Helfgott's study of the manufacture of carpets and Nelson's description of the annual cycle of activities at a Shinto shrine have several important points in common. Both authors deal with traditional practices that have involved and affected every level of their societies. Both of these practices have been modified in ways that reflect broader cultural change. And both practices have unique and very significant roles in their respective societies today. But the two studies necessarily employ very different methodologies and seek different types of information. As a study of a major aspect of the material culture of Iran, Helfgott's Ties That Bind: A Social History of the Iranian Carpet deals with economic aspects of

Paper Abstract:
Socioeconomic inequities & oppression, alienation from feminism, work, marriage & family, education, socialization.
Paper Introduction:
Working class women internalize their own oppression. These women learn the stereotypes that define their lives at an early age. Working class women strive to maintain the traditional feminine ideal while simultaneously struggling with the limitations of class.
To a significant extent, the problems of working class women persist because they have not participated in the financial gains of the women's movement. Middle class women reaped the greatest benefits. They dramatically increased their presence in professional fields such as medicine, law, and banking: "in little more than a decade women increased their representation among the most prestigious and lucrative professions by 300 to 400 percent" (Ehrenreich, 1990, p. 217). Granted, middle class women still encounter the "glass ceiling" in their efforts to

Paper Abstract:
Examines efforts of several North Carolina schools to reduce impact of socioeconomic inequity on success in school.
Paper Introduction:
Society commonly denies the social impact of class on educational achievement. Talent and intelligence supposedly are the chief determinants of success or failure. Several schools in North Carolina, however, not only acknowledge the relevance of class, they have taken positive steps to reduce social inequity.
Much has been written about the gap in spending between low income and upper income school districts on measures like per-pupil funding. School districts in wealthy suburbs often outspend inner city school systems at ratios from 1.5:1 to 2:1 (Slavin, 1998, p. 7). Vast discrepancies are even apparent within school districts. In New York City per-pupil spending was $5,590 compared with $11,370 in wealthier Manhasset (Kozol, 1991, p. 120). Low income schools also have higher needs such as special education classes and security measures. Critics of

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work challenging conventional concept & understanding of nationalism.
Paper Introduction:
The conventional picture of nationalism is that it is an ideology which grew up in Europe in the aftermath of the French Revolution, and became normative there in the course of the 19th century, finding expression on the one hand in the unifications of Germany and Italy, and on the other hand in the internal fissures which grew up within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, leading eventually to its dissolution after the First World War. Subsequently, in this conventional view, nationalism as an idea and ideology was spread to the rest of the world as a consequence of and reaction to European imperialism, leading in turn to the general dismantling of European empires, and the formation of new nations out of their former territories, in the decades after the Second World War.
In his book Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson

INTRODUCTION
The United States is a nation of immigrants. Only the Native Americans are indigenous to this continent, and at some point in their history they may also have come to this region from Asia across the Bering Strait or by some other means. In this century, consecutive waves of immigration from different parts of the world created tensions with Americans already living in this country, for they believed that the immigrants were taking their jobs, gorging the welfare roles, and somehow reducing their overall standard of living. One of the consequences of these tensions is the creation of certain stereotypes identified with the new immigrant group, stereotypes that may continue in some degree even after the ethnic group achieves a more accepted role in society. Asian-Americans are

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on effects of black migration to northern cities, ghetto problems, suggested solutions.
Paper Introduction:
In The Promised Land Nicholas Lemann investigates the effects that the great black migration to the northern cities had on American Society. Lemann's purpose in the book is to identify the roots of current problems in urban ghettos, determine why earlier attempts to solve the problems failed, and suggest alternative approaches to America's largest social problem. He believes that any new policies need to be based on a strong grasp of historic social causes, knowledge of past policies' failures and successes, and an understanding of the experiences of the people who took part in the migration and whose lives were part of the development of both the black ghetto and the black middle class after World War II. Lemann's analysis of social policy and the nature of the problem of the black ghettos leads him to the conclusion that the federal government is the only institution

Paper Abstract:
Examines how coming-of-age books portray racism of 1950s & Vietnam War, falseness of Amer. Dream.
Paper Introduction:
This study will discuss how Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi and Charley Trujillo's Soldados: Chicanos in Viet Nam affect our understanding of the 1950s and the Vietnam War, respectively. Both books are non-fictional coming-of-age narratives and both involve an awakening of the authors to the lies of the American Dream. Moody experiences the reality of racism in the United States in the 1950s, which were seen by whites as the years of the full realization of that Dream. Trujillo's accounts show the racism of the United States military, which was held up as an example of a fully integrated institution representing the equality symbolized by that Dream.
The latter part of Moody's autobiographical work carries her into the 1960s and the flowering of the civil rights movement, but the part of the book which deals with the 1950s highlights

Paper Abstract:
Evaluates author's qualitative ethnographic research methodology & techniques.
Paper Introduction:
Introduction
In compiling data for their book, Women and Crack-Cocaine, Inciardi, Lockwood and Pottieger (1993) stated that data were collected based on a variety of qualitative ethnographic research techniques. In general, these techniques included: non-random sampling methods; the use of interview methods; case study techniques; and field observation methods.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the qualitative research techniques used to collect and interpret data. It can be noted here that analyzing methods used in writing books about psychosocial phenomena are important because, in any study, confidence can be placed in findings only to the extent that the research can be supported as having internal validity. The presented analysis concludes with an overall

Paper Abstract:
Historical, political & socioeconomic contexts, reasons for, public vs. private space, crime, clsss polarization, elitism, communitarianism, individualism.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the phenomenon of the rise in the number of gated communities for the upper middle class of the United States. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical, social, and cultural context for the increase of gated-community living, and then to discuss how such communities manifest and/or respond to such issues as elitism, concern for personal safety, privacy, communitarianism, and isolation.
In the 1990s, an estimated 8-10 million middle-class and upper-middle-class Americans have become residents in so-called gated communities, at their extreme described as "walled medieval enclaves replete with gates and private security forces" (McCormick, 1998, p. 45). Equally, some 8.5 million poverty-class residents live in an estimated 3,000 ghetto or declining urban neigh

Paper Abstract:
Reviews of works on Filipino experience in Manila & Hawaii. Class & generational conflict, assimilation, language.
Paper Introduction:
Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the

Paper Abstract:
Compares subcultures, reasoning processes, volunteerism, gender & family relations, economics & employment, education.
Paper Introduction:
A comparison of Japanese and American culture reveals a wide range of societal differences. Japan is a fairly homogeneous, middle class society. In contrast, the United States is characterized by increasing ethnic diversity and income inequality. Although different, each country has its share of successes and failures.
One of the distinguishing features of American culture is its numerous subcultures which exist within the macroculture. In the United States, the different subcultures are as follows: age, gender/sex, ethnic or national origin, religion, class, geographic region, urban/suburban/rural location, and exceptionality (disabled, special abilities, etc.). Each subculture has certain aspects in common with the macroculture. All American citizens are members of multiple subcultures.

Paper Abstract:
Compares Christian & Jewish groups. Origins, separatism, communalism, leadership, structure, creeds, education, clothing, work, gender relations.
Paper Introduction:
The Amish and Hasidic religious systems have much in common. Both are pietistic spiritual movements. Both eschew secularization and favor separation of their communities from the outside world. And both religions were founded about three hundred years ago. A shortcoming of the way of life of the Amish and Hasidim, however, is their subordination of women and their restrictions on education.
The Amish Church resulted from dissension within the Mennonite religious sect of Europe. The principle point of disagreement that caused the rift was the interpretation of the "Meidung," the practice of shunning or avoiding a member of the church who had broken a rule. The Mennonites interpreted Meidung as merely excluding the banned person from the communion table. Jakob Ammann, insisted that Meidung meant shunning the banned

Paper Abstract:
Sociohistorical overview of men's & women's clothing from 12th Cent. to late 20th Cent. Class issues, practicality, styles, social control, faddism, future.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the history of Western fashion from its beginnings in the twelfth century in Europe to the present day. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical and social context of fashion change in Western tradition and then to discuss reasons and mechanisms of changes in Western dress in the past and present, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of future fashion development.
To say that Western wardrobe fashion, which has cut across multiple cultural styles and eras since the twelfth century, appears to have shown a tremendous resiliency and adaptability as opposed to clothing associated with individual ethnic, national, or tribal cultures, is to make a statement about the West as an encasing culture and an encasing history. Western dress in its most general form has changed in ways that non-Western dress or the d

Paper Abstract:
Overview of hardships of ethnic Amer. & examples of social, economic, political & literary success.
Paper Introduction:
The United States boasts the greatest cultural diversity of any nation in the world. Among these cultures are African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Pacifics, and European immigrants. The common ground these groups share is their belief in the American Dream.
Diversity is found even within ethnic groups. Native-born blacks as well as recent immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa are classified as African-American. The term "Hispanic" refers to a wide range of groups including Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and immigrants from South and Central America. (Mexican-Americans represent the largest group among the Hispanic population.) Native Americans are identified according to their tribal affiliation, which includes Sioux, Cherokee, Chippewa, and Navaho. European immigrants hail from

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of work on bilingual (Spanish-English) families & education in small industrial Pennsylvania town.
Paper Introduction:
Lourdes Diaz Soto's 1997 book, Language, Culture, and Power: Bilingual Families and the Struggle for Quality Education, focuses on the Puerto Rican, Spanish/English bilingual community in Steel Town, a small industrial town in Pennsylvania. In particular, the book explores the language dynamics within and outside of the Spanish-speaking community, and it provides a detailed examination of the dismantling of the town's award-winning, twenty-year-old public school bilingual program and the effect of the program's termination on the Puerto Rican families, particularly the children. Soto's goal in writing the book was "to afford voice to the families regarding their perspectives on bilingual education in their community" (1997, p. xix). This research will review Soto's work, paying particular attention to its contribution to the study of bilingualism and bilingual

THE RELEVANCE OF HOFSTEDE’S MODEL TO THE CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS
Introduction
This research examines the relevance of Geert Hofstede’s model of cultural variability to the contemporary management of intercultural communications. Hofstede was prompted to explore differences in managerial decision-making behavior because of the growing internationalization of business. In the 1990s, the trend is increasingly toward the development of international markets. Accordingly, it is incumbent on multinational corporations to acquire the knowledge, and develop the expertise which will permit them to develop marketing strategies for functioning in a variety of cultural environments. Successful multinational corporations in the 1990s will not be able to

In 1965, Frances Clarke Sayers wrote the following with reference to Walt Disney and the way he treated his film material:
I call him to account for his debasement of the traditional literature of childhood, in films and in the books he publishes: He shows scant respect for the integrity of the original creations of authors, manipulating and vulgarizing everything for his own ends. His treatment of folklore is without regard for its anthropological, spiritual, or psychological truths. Every story is sacrificed to the "gimmick". . . of animation. . . Not content with the films, he fixes these mutilated versions in books which are cut to a fraction of their original forms, illustrates them

Paper Abstract:
Impact of parents' cultural beliefs on child's personal & social development in various cultures. Religion, language, work, education, economics, family relations.
Paper Introduction:
Parents' cultural belief systems have definite consequences for children's development. Parents are the main agents of socialization for their children during the period of their lives when they are most susceptible to influence. Because culture is a pervasive aspect of parental personality, cultural belief systems play a major role in the socialization process.
Culture is the shared meanings that people in a society give to important life events. These events include birth, death, commerce, mating, protection from hunger and bad weather, etc. Thus every aspect of human life and behavior is influenced by culture: "In a sense, to understand culture is to understand learned behavior" (Slonim, 1991, p. 5). Moreover, specific cultural value systems are transmitted from one generation to another.

Paper Introduction:
HEALTH-CULTURE BELIEFS
Introduction
An understanding of health-culture beliefs begins with that of the United States. Within a technological society, health-culture beliefs regarding childbirth are explored. Obstetrical revolutions occur in a cultural environment and are charged with changing values and practices. Practices include prenatal, parturition, and postpartum values, beliefs, and customs and how these customs act as possible barriers to delivery care offered by health professionals such as nurses (Hahn, 1987).
United States Health-Culture Beliefs
To a society like that of the United States, which is technological in nature, the process of childbirth continually questions boundaries between the American culture and nature.

Paper Abstract:
Impact of Cubans on culture, social structure, local politics & U.S. (Clinton) policy toward Castro.
Paper Introduction:
The population of South Florida today contains a large contingent of exiles and refugees from Castro's Cuba, part of a mass exodus of disaffected and politically persecuted Cubans who have left their homeland since the Cuban Revolution. Many of those who came here in the first wave after the revolution believed they would be returning home, perhaps within a few months, but as the years have passed the Cuban population has become more socially and economically integrated into the U.S. culture in Florida even while maintaining ties with Cuba and while trying to keep alive the hope that Castro could be overthrown and democracy restored in Cuba. The presence of this large exile group has had a profound effect on South Florida, especially in terms of politics given the dedication of this group to influencing U.S. policy toward Cuba, but also in the

Paper Abstract:
Evolution of profession & need to balance helping clients & changing society. Theory, impact of social change, casework, accountability, agencies, direct care.
Paper Introduction:
Social work practice involves a dual mission: to assist clients and to change society. These two distinctive branches of social work emerged in the United States from the Charity Organization Societies and from the Settlement House Movement. The services performed by the Charity Organization Societies later became known as casework. The Settlement House Movement activities eventually developed into group work and community organizations. The challenge of modern social work is to balance the dual focus of the profession by providing for the individual's needs within the context of his or her environment.
The social work profession emerged from the complex social needs that developed in Europe and North America as a result of urbanization and industrialization. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, aid to the poverty-stricken was administered either

Paper Abstract:
Examines socioeconomic policies & poverty programs of Democrats Kennedy & Johnson & Republicans Reagan & Bush.
Paper Introduction:
The divergent social policies and programs of the Kennedy/Johnson era and the Reagan/Bush era demonstrate the different attitudes in which these administrations viewed the poor. Kennedy/Johnson policymakers regarded the poor as flawed and inexperienced, in need of government assistance to enter the mainstream and assimilate society's work ethic. Reagan/Bush policymakers regarded the poor as victims of government overindulgence, whose only hope for self-sufficiency was by weaning them from the government dole. Social policies and programs continue to come under severe attack as legislators seek means to control the country's spiraling federal deficit. An examination of the goals and social theories underlying the policies and programs of the Kennedy/Johnson and Reagan/Bush administrations demonstrates why the thorny issue of poverty

Paper Abstract:
Sociological analysis of book on Odessa, Texas, high school football team & town's values, using approaches of functionalism, conflict theory & interactionism.
Paper Introduction:
Shattered Dreams and Friday Night Lights
In Friday night lights: A town, a team, and a dream H. C. Bissinger recounts his observations of living in Odessa, Texas where he sees "high school sports keeping a town together, keeping it alive" (Bissinger, 1990, xi). With passion and sensitivity Bissinger records the triumphs and failings of Odessa's Permian Panthers. As a journalist Bissinger's aim is to explore the town's values about race, education, politics and the economy (Bissinger, 1990, p. xiii). Analysis of the sociological concepts emergent in Friday night lights will be examined against the rubric of functionalism, conflict theory, and interactionism. Since sports pervade contemporary American culture, it has become a preferred target of study for many sociologists. A new field of specialization, the sociology of sports, emerged with

Paper Introduction:
Status Attainment: A Sociological Reassessment
Sociologists have for a long time been anxious to understand why some individual achieve success and others fail. As a sub-classification of questions surrounding social mobility, the specific issue of "status attainment" was first formulated by the pioneer work of Blau and Duncan (1967). They asserted that the best question to ask is not "How are people mobile?" but rather "How do people attain their statuses?" (Stark, 1996, p. 280). Their revised question enabled researchers to ascertain "how people acquire a status with or without being mobile" (Stark, 1996, p. 200). Since Blau and Duncan's landmark study and their presentation of an initial research model into this sociological field of inquiry, additional variables have been included to both broaden and intensify the field. One factor which appears to

Historical overview in 20th Cent. Immigration, Greektowns, occupations, language, religion, family.
Paper Introduction:
Modern Greek-American Culture
Introduction
The increased affluence of Greek-Americans since their first migration to the United States has generally resulted in their mobilization into the middle- and higher-income classes of American society. As with most immigrant ethnic groups, this has led to an assimilation of Greek culture and identity with the greater American culture. Nonetheless, many Greek Americans continue to recognize their cultural roots, even if only in a fused form of Greek and American culture.
Immigration
In 1528 a Greek named Theodorus arrived with the Spaniards at Tarpon Springs, Florida. He was the first greek to land in America. Thereafter, until the 1880s, Greek immigration to the

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of work seeking to find & describe a natural history of humanity in a synthesis of myths & religions.
Paper Introduction:
Joseph Campbell, in Primitive Mythology: The Masks of God, argues that humankind, despite its many differences, has historically shown more similarities overall. Specifically, the author believes, from his analysis of the evidence, that there is a "unity of the race of man, not only in its biology but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony." He further argues that the future holds "the next great movement" in this symphony, with the same "motifs" as in the past. Although his book is positive in its assessment of human advances, he nevertheless notes that there is no assurance that the future of the human race will be bright. This symphony of unity and its motifs "might be put to use by reasonable men to reasonable ends---or by poets to poetic ends---or by madmen to nonsense and disaster" (Campbell, 1991, v).

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes two quotes from books on cultural sensibility of Japanese working on Hawaiian sugar plantations & compares with Japanese & Chinese on mainland.
Paper Introduction:
Milton Murayama, in Five Years On A Rock and All I Asking For Is My Body explores the cultural sensibility of Japanese in Hawaii working on sugar plantations. Two quotes from these books will be used in this report to examine this sensibility in comparison with the Japanese on the mainland and with the Chinese. The information provided by Sucheng Chan, in Asian Americans: An Interpretive History, will be used to support the positions taken in this report.
The first quote, from All I Asking For Is My Body, brings up a point which shows how the Japanese in Hawaii were similar to the Japanese on the mainland. The quote refers to the narrator's mother and her determination to maintain her family's identity and unity. An argument is taking place between the mother and her son Tosh as the son expresses his individualism and his

Paper Abstract:
Examines experience of whites in contrast to blacks. Issues of class, education, employment, psychology, history, racism, culture, entertainment.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is an analysis of the experience of being white in America and the significance this has for white individuals across a broad spectrum of class, education, gender, and employment. This study is based on Andrew Hacker's book, Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal. Hacker contends that, even at the lowest economic level, being white offers advantages not available to black members of American society. He suggests that, despite the wide range of cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds represented within the United States population, the historical relationship between the former owners of slaves and the people they forcibly brought to America remains an insurmountable obstacle. He contends that immigrants from other countries, as well as the native population forced to surrender its land, have been able to assimilate into an white,
