Responses To Aging In Great Britain: The Black Experience, Wynetta Devore

Also examined are anti-racist, ethnic-sensitive education and practice models developed by faculty and practitioners.

Ethnic Identity, Intergroup Relations And Welfare Policy In The Canadian Context: A Comparative Discourse Analysis, Adrienne S. Chambon, Donald F. Bellamy
Ethnic Identity, Intergroup Relations And Welfare Policy In The Canadian Context: A Comparative Discourse Analysis, Adrienne S. Chambon, Donald F. Bellamy
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper illuminates the negotiation of group identities and intergroup relations in the Canadian context. It presents an empirical, comparative analysis of group claims around social assistance policy using discourse analysis. Lexical, semantic and narrative analyses of Aboriginal and multicultural documents show a complex organization of intergroup relations, with distinct and at times conflicting claims. In view of the tensions, responsive policy development requires that historical specificity, complexity, and even incompatibilities be taken into account.
Ethnic And Minority Groups In Israel: Challenges For Social Work Theory, Value And Practice, Eliezer D. Jaffe
Ethnic And Minority Groups In Israel: Challenges For Social Work Theory, Value And Practice, Eliezer D. Jaffe
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Israel is a Western, democratic, pluralistic enclave in the Middle East. Multiple ethnic groups, mass immigration, religious diversity, and the current ethnic dilemmas experienced there provide ample opportunity for study. The social work role in addressing the ethnic and cultural challenges in Israel is discussed without minimizing or reducing the complexity of the issues. A closer examination of social work as a vehicle for ethnic sensitivity and understanding of ethnic diversity is required. Knowing how to work with diverse populations and ethnic conflict is imperative in Israel and elsewhere.

Role Of Social Institutions In A Multicultural Society, K. R. Ramakrishnan, Pallassana R. Balgopal
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
With the rapid change in the demographic structure of the American society, the United States is becoming a mosaic of multiculturalism. Such changes have dramatic implications for social institutions. To understand such changes an overview of the evolution of multiculturalism from a historical perspective is provided. The concept of cultural pluralism is discussed for delineating the role of social institutions. Also examined is the issue of affirmative action, and the role of social welfare institution.
Ethnic Sensitive Social Work Practice: The State Of The Art, Elfriede G. Schlesinger, Wynetta Devore
Ethnic Sensitive Social Work Practice: The State Of The Art, Elfriede G. Schlesinger, Wynetta Devore
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The social work literature of the past ten years has paid increasing attention to the ideological, theoretical and practice issues related to ethnic sensitive practice. Major focus has been on the life styles, needs and oppression of people of color, with minimal attention paid to other ethnic groups. A literature focused on adapting prevailing practice modalities to work with diverse groups is beginning to emerge.
Cultural Values And Minority People Of Color, Doman Lum
Cultural Values And Minority People Of Color, Doman Lum
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This article delineates various dimensions of culture, factors influencing acculturation, majority and minority values, and etic and emic dimensions of cultural values. It contributes to the debate about whether there are distinctive minority people of color values or whether these values are a function of migration and social class. It introduces the concepts of transcultural, cross cultural, paracultual, metacultural, and pancultural as well as cultural ethclass.
Is The "Underclass" Really A Class?, E. Walton Zelly Jr
Is The "Underclass" Really A Class?, E. Walton Zelly Jr
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The concept of an "underclass" departs from previous determinations of social class based on criteria of education, occupation, and income in favor of the more subjective and less quantifiable criteria of the degree of social dislocation and the departure of a population from middle class norms and values. A study reviews current definitions of "the underclass"; contrasts this class description with "the poor" in the 60's and before; and suggests that "the underclass" is a pejorative label which has the effect of "blaming the victim", and has negative implications for the formulation of public policy directed toward the population thus …
Native American Agencies For Native American Children: Fulfilling The Promise Of The Indian Child Welfare Act, Anthony Mcmahon, Ernest N. Gullerud
Native American Agencies For Native American Children: Fulfilling The Promise Of The Indian Child Welfare Act, Anthony Mcmahon, Ernest N. Gullerud
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The Indian Child Welfare Act seeks to protect Indian children from family and cultural disruption. The Act mandates minimum standards for the removal of Indian children and for their placement in foster care. However, a recent national survey suggests that requirements for Indian foster homes are not being met in public agency substitute care programs. At the same time, Native American child welfare agencies have developed a range of services for Native American children. The authors show that the intent of the Act will be better served if the case management of Native American children in public agency care is …

Tripartite Cultural Personality And Ethclass Assessment, Ken Huang
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This article assumes of the necessity of a theory of "tripartite personality" and utility of ethclass assessment in cross-cultural therapeutic interventions. It includes, (1) determinants of human behavior; (2) ethnocentrism and effects on groups and individuals, both majority and minority; (3) strategies of conventional intervention and its cultural encapsulation; (4) the proposed tripartite cultural personality, and psychocultural intervention; (5) the ethclass assessment and how it can be incorporated into the DSM-III-R (now, DSM-IV) Multiaxial Diagnostic System.

Promoting Square Feet With Character: The Influence Of Fantasy On Meetings And Conventions At Walt Disney World, Christopher W. Tremblay
Promoting Square Feet With Character: The Influence Of Fantasy On Meetings And Conventions At Walt Disney World, Christopher W. Tremblay
Honors Theses
The Walt Disney World Resort is a unique setting for meetings and conventions because it offers the Disney theme parks, but more importantly, it offers the opportunity to incorporate fantasy components into convention activities. Since Walt Disney World opened, Disney has capitalized on its use of characters by designing theme park attractions based on those characters. The opportunity exists to incorporate Disney fantasy and characters into meetings and conventions, which impacts decisions by businesses and meeting planners to use Walt Disney World as a convention site. The purpose of this study is to look at the influence of the fantasy …

It's The Budget, Stupid: A Policy Analysis Of Clinton's First Budget, James Max Fendrich, Jamie Miller, Tim Nickel
It's The Budget, Stupid: A Policy Analysis Of Clinton's First Budget, James Max Fendrich, Jamie Miller, Tim Nickel
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper analyzes President Clinton's first budget. Clinton's budget is his public policy. The budget is compared to Clinton's three stated objectives of stimulating the economy, investing in the future and reducing the deficit. His proposed budget and subsequent modifications are also compared to the budgets of previous administrations. In contrast to Reagan's first budget, which was a radical modification of public policy, Clinton's budget is only an incremental change from the public policies of the Reagan/Bush years.
