A Mormon Cultural Study Of Musical Preference, Alden L. Weight
A Mormon Cultural Study Of Musical Preference, Alden L. Weight
Theses and Dissertations
Music is an important yet relatively unnoticed part of the everyday world almost all of us take for granted. Whether in the car, watching television, shopping, at work or at home, even waking up in the morning or going to sleep at night, and so forth, music surrounds us, soothes us, disturbs us, and occasionally goes so far as to persuade us. Although music plays a significant role in many areas of life, its relationship to society is especially evident in the religious sphere. Therefore, the religious sphere is an ideal place to examine what music does and what it …

Increasing Husbands' Involvement In Domestic Labor: Issues For Therapists, Kipling S. Rasmussen, Alan J. Hawkins, Kenneth P. Schwab
Increasing Husbands' Involvement In Domestic Labor: Issues For Therapists, Kipling S. Rasmussen, Alan J. Hawkins, Kenneth P. Schwab
Faculty Publications
As a result of the dramatic increase in women's participation in the work force, more relationship therapists are seeing couples who are dissatisfied with how domestic labor is divided in their homes. Although, this issue may seem therapeutically straightforward, there are many aspects which make its renegotiation surprisingly problematic and complex. This article is an effort to delineate some of these issues such as engaging men in therapy, exploring emotional issues connected with housework, and the mechanism of gatekeeping. Also included is a therapeutic framework for addressing client concerns about domestic responsibilities.

Memories From A Danish American Parsonage, Bodil S. Sorensen
Memories From A Danish American Parsonage, Bodil S. Sorensen
The Bridge
Those of us who grew up in the Danish-American
colonies of the 30' s and 40' s experienced a life that has
now disappeared. It was a rich and unique life. It was a
time of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation immigrants adjusting
to the American culture and at the same time cherishing
their particular brand of Danish heritage.
Paradise In Poverty, Visti Favrholt
Paradise In Poverty, Visti Favrholt
The Bridge
Junction City, in the early thirties, was a sleepy, small
town located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. With a
population of only a few hundred, it could hardly be
called a city. But the forefathers had visions of a major rail way
and highway junction at this location, providing prosperity
and a great future for all. As it was, the railway went
straight through town and trains seldom stopped there.

Historical Roots Of Structural Ambiguities In English: A Survey Of Some Selected Grammatical Features, Dallin D. Oaks
Historical Roots Of Structural Ambiguities In English: A Survey Of Some Selected Grammatical Features, Dallin D. Oaks
Faculty Publications
English is a language with many possibilities for wordplay, and word lay has been exploited by entertainers and advertisers. At times it involves simple puns, and at other times complex structural plays on words. Important developments in the history of the English language contribute to the current possibilities for word play. This article will examine some of these developments that have contributed specifically to wordplay involving structural ambiguities.
Journey: Connections To A Pioneer Past, Judy Shell Busk
Journey: Connections To A Pioneer Past, Judy Shell Busk
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a record of a journey into the pioneer past both literally and metaphorically. The physical journey retracing the Oregon and Mormon trails was made in September of 1993, the year I was a National Endowment for the Humanities/Reader's Digest Teacher-Scholar; however, my intellectual and emotional journey into the lives of pioneer women covers several years of study. I compare my life experiences with those of pioneer women whom I studied, using geographical settings on the trail trip as memory triggers. My husband, as my traveling companion, plays an important role in this journey of discovery. Major themes …
Christian Feminist Publications And Structures Of Constraint: A Comparison Of Daughters Of Sarah And Exponent Ii Within The Contexts Of Neo-Evangelicalism And Mormonism, Sasha S. Cluff
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis uses content analysis to compare two conservative Christian feminist publications: Daughters of Sarah, produced by neo-evangelical feminists, and Exponent II, produced by Mormon feminists. Findings are based on insights from three main theories: Debra Minkoff's organization-environment perspective, Nancy Folbre's model of collective action based on structures of constraint, and the church-sect typology from the sociology of religion literature. Although both organizations similarly endeavor to integrate feminist and religious identities, the loose boundaries of evangelicalism allow Daughters of Sarah to explore a more liberal feminist agenda and interact with broader feminist sources while still remaining within the …

Nutritional And Alimentative State Of The Canaviri, Pocohata, Colina Blanca, Puente Arriba And Villa Arriendo, Ingavi Province, Department Of La Paz - 1996, Juana F. Moraima Gonzles Tapia
Theses and Dissertations
The intent of the present work responds to the necessity of the settlers in depressed areas of La Paz's Altiplano in Bolivia of knowing the reality surrounding the unfolding of their lives. The focus takes into account only one part of all that weighs down on them: that part dealing with their nutritional and alimentative state. This study takes in the communities of Canaviri, Pocohata, Colina Blanca, Puente Arriba, and Villa Arriendo of the Ingavi Province in the Department of La Paz. The variable taken into account is the families' nutritional situation; these families possessing the same status in the …
Annotated Bibliography Of Resources For Researching Danish-American Folklife, Gregory Hansen
Annotated Bibliography Of Resources For Researching Danish-American Folklife, Gregory Hansen
The Bridge
Danish-American folklife consists of the expressions of
traditional culture that identify Americans of Danish heritage
as belonging to this small ethnic group.
Encompassing a full range of expressive behavior, ranging
from building and decorating immigrant homes to crafting
intricate patterns with knitting needles, scissors, hammer
and anvil, Danish-American folklife includes any form of
knowledge or skill that is learned by observation or imitation
within a community context (Hansen 1988:23)

The Impact Of Nfs Grundtvig On American Immigrants, Axel C. Kildegaard
The Bridge
They came singly and in small groups in the 1850' s. A
few settled in the cities, others moved on to the lumber
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin while more made their
destination the fertile farmlands of the midwest. A few of
the even more adventurous crossed the country or made
the long sail around the Straits of Magellan to California.

Standing on the deck in the cold of the night, I could
distinguish lights some distance away on both sides of the
ship. It was clear we were in a kind of channel. Another
passenger said it was a Norwegian fjord. How he could
tell, I didn't know, because it was pretty dark out there.
But one thing, was very clear. The captain of our ship, for
all his golden buttons and stripes, must have got lost
because he was supposed to find Denmark. Columbus
could have done better. I stood there in the dark and
thought about the matter …
Religion And Racism: An Examination Of Values And Racial Attitudes, Timothy B. Smith, Richard N. Roberts
Religion And Racism: An Examination Of Values And Racial Attitudes, Timothy B. Smith, Richard N. Roberts
Faculty Publications
Throughout history, both the oppression and emancipation of racial and ethnic groups have often been conducted under the influence of religion. Contemporary research, often marked by contradictions itself, has also made note of this complex issue. To examine further the association of religious variables with racial attitudes and personal values, data were collected from 752 subjects. The results lent support to the hypothesis that when examining racial attitudes, religious affiliation is a less meaningful variable than the importance of spirituality in the lives of individuals; also, two values historically associated with religion, Humanitarianism and the "Protestant work ethic" were moderately …
Diphthongization In Spanish Derivational Morphology: An Empirical Investigation, David Eddington
Diphthongization In Spanish Derivational Morphology: An Empirical Investigation, David Eddington
Faculty Publications
The alternation between the mid-vowels / e/, /o/ and the diphthongs /je/ and /we/ is widespread in Spanish, and several rule-based analyses claim to account for it. However, they are founded on a small body of evidence. These analyses are evaluated against data from a large corpus, and cannot account for the non-discrete nature of diphthongization as evidenced in the corpus. The corpus data suggest that diphthongization has a gradient relationship to the derivational suffixes. · A nonderivational account, based on Bybee's model (1985, 1988, 1991), better embodies the scalar relationship between diphthongization and the suffixes. This relationship was tested …
The Psychological Status Of Phonological Analyses, David Eddington
The Psychological Status Of Phonological Analyses, David Eddington
Faculty Publications
This paper casts doubt on the psychological relevance of many phonological analyses. There are four reasons for this: 1) theoretical adequacy does not necessarily imply psychological significance; 2) most approaches are nonempirical in that they are not subject to potential spatiotemporal falsification; 3) phonological analyses are established with little or no recourse to the speakers of the language via experimental psychology; 4) the limited base of evidence which most analyses are founded on is further cause for skepticism.
Review Of Kimball Young On Transition Of Sociology, 1912-1968: An Oral Account By The 35th President Of The Asa, Carol Ward
Faculty Publications
According to Kimball Young, "My five quarters at Chicago fixed me for life." This account of Kimball YOung's career begins with his experience at the University of Chicago where he obtained an A.M. in 1918. These early experiences with the founders of the Chicago School had a lasting impact on his career in sociology. Young's memoirs focus on his relationships with his mentors, colleagues and students at Chicago and at the subsequent colleges and universities with which he worked. This oral history offers remarkable insights into the lives of scholars who shaped sociology in the first two-thirds of the century.
The Brigham Young University Folklore Of Hugh Winder Nibley: Gifted Scholar, Eccentric Professor And Latter-Day Saint Spiritual Guide, Jane D. Brady
The Brigham Young University Folklore Of Hugh Winder Nibley: Gifted Scholar, Eccentric Professor And Latter-Day Saint Spiritual Guide, Jane D. Brady
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the stories which revolve around folk legend Hugh Winder Nibley and what those stories mean to the people of Brigham Young University. Folklore reveals who we are and what is important to us. But, interestingly, folklore tends to reveal more about the person telling the story than about the subject of the story itself. People can't remember every story they hear. The ones they do remember are important to them. The stories are important because they fulfill basic needs of the teller. Such needs are a desire to look up to a hero, a need to fit …
