Paper Abstract:
(J.A. Schumpeter).
Paper Introduction:
One of the most fascinating aspects of Schumpeter's book, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, is his definition and perspective on the nature of democracy. Schumpeter sees democracy as primarily a political method, ". . . that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself, irrespective of what decisions it will produce under given historical conditions." What seems to be implied through this definition is the propensity for people to give unqualified allegiance to certain ideals and interests which they cherish, and only qualified allegiance to a political method, such as democracy, which they expect will serve these ends.
Schumpeter goes on to document how the 18th-century ideas of "the common good" and the "will of the people" are primarily

Paper Abstract:
(Lawrence Stone). Critical review of study of background of revolution.
Paper Introduction:
THE CAUSES OF THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION 1529-1642
Lawrence Stone's The Causes of the English Revolution 15291642 is an important book, because its purpose is to examine the dynamic of revolution and apply it to England specifically, touching on every area from king's divine-right to the Parliament's desire for legal rights, instead of favors from the king.
It is Stone's design to produce a straight-forward, factual account of the events of the 16th and 17th century that culminated in British turmoil. He has a wide variety of sources that he refers to, and in the final analysis the conclusions he comes to over the revolution comprise the viewpoint that has been held by historians for a number of decades on the subject.
What Stone adds to historical research is his excellent ex

Paper Abstract:
Critique of book of history of American industrial consumer society. Authors' beliefs; drawbacks of book.
Paper Introduction:
In Channels of Desire Stuart Ewen and Elizabeth Ewen investigate the history of American industrial consumer society of the twentieth century and attempt to explain how society reached a point where images have become more important than reality and the illusion of liberty has become a means of repression. In five essays the Ewens develop their argument that a culture based on consumption depends on the power of illusory images that ensure not only that the individual-as-consumer feel her/himself to be in constant need of more consumer goods, but also be unaware of the contingencies of such a way of life. The illusions generated in the entertainment media and product advertising constantly lure people with the promise of many kinds of fulfillment if they will only continue to consume. But the illusions generated by the political, educational, and

Paper Abstract:
Reviews book on work & play of children of working-class immigrants in Amer. cities, 1900-1920.
Paper Introduction:
David Nasaw's Children of the City is a study of the children of immigrants whose primary playground and place of employment was the streets of American cities. Nasaw covers the period 1900-1920 and the working-class children whose employment was not based on desperate need, but who did not have the complete leisure that middle class children possessed. Nasaw's principal thesis is that the experience of these children was overwhelmingly positive as they set up systems of rivalry and cooperation in their neighborhoods, frequently mixed with children of various ethnic backgrounds, learned numerous skills that would be essential to their futures, and assimilated to the American scene at a great rate. His secondary thesis is that these children had a considerable effect on the future of American entertainment and leisure services--becoming the first

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of work on cultural & political changes & contradictions in China since 1989 uprising in Tiananmen Square.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is an analysis of the book China Pop: How Soap Operas, Tabloids, and Bestsellers Are Transforming a Culture, by Jianying Zha. The daughter of a Communist Party official, Zha was one of the idealists who believed that student opposition, culminating in the uprising in Tiananmen Square in 1989, would overthrow the system and bring about sweeping changes in China. She argues that, despite the West's perception that China remains a despotic Communist system, China has indeed been changing, transformed not by political activism but by cultural forces that have had a more powerful and more liberating effect than any amount of marching in the streets would have been able to accomplish. She suggests that recognizing these effects requires the outsider to understand the unique nature of the Chinese character, which reflects and personifies change in very

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of book on new psychology aimed at improving relationships through conscious & free choices & rejection of external control theory.
Paper Introduction:
Choice Theory by William Glasser describes a method to bring people closer together in relationships. According to the author, the core of most major human problems is the misery caused by unsatisfying relationships. Further, the problems in such relationships are exacerbated by traditional therapeutic methods, labelled by Glasser as external control psychology. Glasser proposes a new psychology called choice theory which emphasizes personal freedom. This book is intended to teach the audience the harmfulness of external control psychology and how to replace it with choice theory. The person who uses choice theory continually asks himself or herself whether their actions will bring them closer to people in relationships or farther apart.
To understand choice theory it is first necessary to

Paper Introduction:
Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action recounts the story of the action taken by attorney Jan Schlichtmann against the W. R. Grace chemical company and Beatrice Foods on behalf of families in Woburn, Massachusetts whose children had contracted leukemia, the suit claimed, from the ingestion of chemicals, dumped illegally by subsidiaries of the two giant corporations, that entered the wells that supplied a portion of the town. The civil litigation was meant to secure damages for the families but, more importantly, it was intended to "send a message" to large corporations that they could not continue to pollute the environment with reckless disregard for the health and well-being of the people, many of them their own employees, who lived in such areas. But what seemed like a fairly clear-cut case dragged on for a decade. The large corporations willingly spent millions

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on effects of Industrial Revolution on class, politics, workers' rights in shoemaking town of Lynn, MA.
Paper Introduction:
Alan Dawley, in Class and Community: The Industrial Revolution in Lynn, explores the effects of that 19th century revolution on the shoemaking community of Lynn, Massachusetts. Essentially, before the Industrial Revolution, Lynn was a community without strong class differences, while afterwards a great class gulf opened up between the few capitalists and the many workers. Before the revolution, those workers were part of a system of masters and apprentices with the household as the center of the community and of work. After the revolution, the apprenticeship system was broken, and workers became dependent on the factory, weakening the household as the center of life and work which held the community and its people together in relative equality.
These differences were all generally negative for the people

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on personal & social heroism of black author's white mother in overcoming racism & poverty.
Paper Introduction:
In James McBride's book, The Color of Water, the leaving of home by both Ruth (the author's mother) and James (the author) is an event full of mixed causes, motivations and effects. Both are leaving unpleasant home and family environments. Both are frightened and hopeful about finding a new and better life. Both ultimately find that their leaving home was, indeed, a positive step toward discovering themselves and living a life separate from the family environment they left behind.
Ruth's family was relying on her, to work in the store among other things, and she was unhappy and feeling trapped. The straw that broke the camel's back with respect to her leaving was her becoming pregnant, having an abortion, and then hearing that Peter, the black man who would have been the father of her baby, was marrying another woman. She confronted him and he told her

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on nature of scientific study, objective truth & alienation of women from scientific fields.
Paper Introduction:
Science is a pervasive influence on human life today, though most people have only a vague image of what science means and may have complete misperceptions about certain scientific concepts. Many people simply have not been exposed to the information they need to judge science. Women, however, have been actively excluded, or at least discouraged, from science for some time, a factor much noted in analyses of academic statistics and in analyses of the job market in science. This is noted in the book Common Science? Women, Science, and Knowledge by Jean Barr and Lynda Birke as part of their primary emphasis on the fact that the scientific community remains largely unaccountable to the public. Part of their approach to this issue is to talk to non-academics to see what they think about science and about the issues surrounding the field.

Paper Abstract:
(Douglas Waller). Critical analysis of the development & impact of movement for freeze.
Paper Introduction:
Congress and the Nuclear Freeze
Author Douglas C. Waller has used his experience as a congressional aide to write Congress and the Nuclear Freeze: An Inside Look at the Politics of a Mass Movement. This paper is concerned with the author's thesis, which is that democracy works when people can take their cause to the streets: that cause can be taken up by sympathetic members of Congress, and legislation can be enacted that is representative of the will of the citizens.
Waller sets the stage for his book, which at times has the dramatic momentum of a novel, in the early 1980s, when the Reagan administration was still polarized with the Soviet Union. Consequently, the idea of a Nuclear Freeze Resolution was not a popular one.

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the book, The Creative Process, by Brewster Ghiselin.
The author's purpose in presenting the various essays in the book, all by noted creative people in the arts, sciences, etc., is, according to him (11) to present insight into the creative process because this insight into the processes of invention can increase the efficiency of almost any developed and active intelligence.
The author feels (11) that not very much material has been compiled up to now (the publication date) about the creative process, except in the way of isolated fragments of information. In selecting many essays and letters by various creative people, in diverse fields of endeavor, the author feels that the reader will acquire a sense of the bearing of the fundamentals aspects

Paper Abstract:
(Jonathan Kwitny). Critical review of work on Nugan Hand Bank scandal & larger issues of corruption & abuses of power in CIA & U.S. govt.
Paper Introduction:
Jonathan Kwitny's The Crimes of Patriots is subtitled "A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, and the CIA," but it offers a much wider indictment of the structure and nature of the very government of the United States itself. Kwitny relates his specific subject to the Iran-Contra scandal at several points, so that the reader becomes increasingly aware that the scandal he explores is not an aberration but rather simply one more exposure of the tip of the iceberg which is the corruption of the government of the country and all it stands for.
-While the CIA is certainly the target of many of the author's accusations of abuse of power, he makes it clear that the Agency does not operate in a vacuum. No arm of the government could engage in such widespread corruption and immorality and abuse of power without much of the rest of the

Hungarian-born George Soros has made his fortune in the financial markets, including reaping a considerable profit by speculating against the British pound in the early 1990s. He has written several books and articles about the global economy and financial markets; his most recent, the Crisis of Global Capitalism, addresses the failure of the capitalist system to meet the needs of the global economy successfully. This research examines the precepts which form the foundation of Soros' arguments, considers his opinions, and discusses the ramifications of the book in light of recent global economic events.

(Eric Goldman). Critical review of political, cultural & ethical changes in U.S. after WWII.
Paper Introduction:
Eric Goldman, author of The Crucial Decade--and After: America, 1945-1960, was a history professor at Johns Hopkins University and at Princeton University. Mr. Goldman has written articles for scholarly journals as well as for popular magazines. He is the author of a number of books, of which the most famous is Rendezvous with Destiny. Goldman's point of view is that of a historian, an intellectual and a scholar. He looks for themes, trends, and cause and effect, not for a mere telling of events. He places the events in the tenor of the times and describes the shifts in popular culture and psychology. This gives his work a hint of the point of view of a sociologist, as well.
In his preface to the book, Goldman states that two questions pressed upon him as he considered the history of the United States between 1945 and 1960. One of the questions

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of Vine Deloria's 1969 book. Authors purpose to destroy myths surrounding Indians as simplistic and incorrect. Impact of over generalizations of white society on modern Native Americans. Failure of the reservation system and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to benefit Indians. Perpetration of harmful myths U.S. government, anthropologists, Hollywood movies, and the Christian Church.
Paper Introduction:
The major purpose of Vine Deloria’s 1969 book Custer Died For Your Sins is to destroy the myths surrounding Indians (as Native Americans were called at that time). Deloria particularly attacks the myth of Indians as “noble savages” as not only incorrect but too simplistic. “If you count on the unpredictability of Indian people, you will never be sorry” (1).
Deloria contends that there is no single Indian culture, but rather many varied tribal cultures. Lumping all Indians together has done more to damage the uniqueness and integrity of Indian culture than any other factor, according to Deloria. The myth of the “noble savage” as interested only in protecting land and family in a war-like fashion has placed the Indian outside the American experience, when in fact, Indians were at the heart of the experience in the first place. The author believes that

Paper Introduction:
Jose E. Limon, in Dancing with the Devil: Society and Cultural Poetics in Mexican-American South Texas, identifies himself as "an anthropological folklorist" (ix). He qualifies himself in personal terms with reference to his lower-working-class background among "the people of Mexican descent of southern Texas." The basic issues of his unique work are
the primacy of the Church; the "superstitious" character of Mexicans; the unquestioned rule of "anglos"; the "natural" submissiveness of women; the monolithic character of Mexican culture itself (x).
This personal background melded with his educational training at the University of Texas at Austin, the UCLA Chicano Studies Center, the Stanford University Humanities Center, and other universities and grant programs which furthered his

Paper Abstract:
(Carl Taylor). Critical review of study of youth gangs in Detroit.
Paper Introduction:
This study will provide a review of Carl S. Taylor's Dangerous Society, an investigation into youth gangs in Detroit. Taylor is eminently qualified to conduct such an investigation, coming from a "disadvantaged background in Detroit" (p. xi) himself, and advancing later to win three degrees from Michigan State University. He achieved success in private business as well.
Taylor paints a dark portrait of gang reality in Detroit specifically, and in the United States in general. Despite the fact that the author offers a number of hopeful breakthroughs in the fight against gangs and their destructive consequences for individuals and society as a whole, the overall picture is not a hopeful one. Perhaps Taylor is aware of this when, in the final chapter, after offering a number of community-oriented methods

Paper Introduction:
Where is the conservative movement in the United States headed? Is there even a "conservative movement?" in this country? Is Ronald Reagan to blame for the country's ills? Can conservatives regain the momentum they had under Reagan and Bush? These are the questions that David Frum considers in Dead Right, and the future of the conservative movement, as a single, cohesive force that shapes American lives, is indeed considered to be in jeopardy. This research considers some of Frum's key arguments and considers his outlook for the future of conservatism.
Frum does indeed blame Reagan and Reagan's policies for a number of ills facing America today. These include the federal deficit, which expanded at an unprecedented rate under Reagan. While the deficit is a combination of too many tax cuts and too many

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes 1878 work's portrait of Confucian society & family system.
Paper Introduction:
The variations on the Chinese family that one comes across in Jonathan Spence's work The Death of Woman Wang is not the simple, patriarchal, Confucian social unit that one so often sees invoked in descriptions of pre-Revolutionary China. There is no litany here of draconian mothers-in-law, dutiful eldest sons and stern, distant fathers. This may result from the fact that Spence is attempting to give us a realistic view of the world of "small corner of northeastern China during the seventeenth century" rather describing unattained cultural ideals (p. xi). But one also senses from his work that there may have been if not precisely alternatives to the ideal Confucian family in pre-Revolutionary China than at least permissible variations on that ideal. This paper examines the way in which the social and biological unit of the family is

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on how Supreme Court justices deliberate & decide cases, with examples.
Paper Introduction:
In his book Decision, Bernard Schwartz, the Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tulsa, writes about how the justices of the United States Supreme Court decide cases making reference to specific cases and the arguments offered in those deliberations, and in so doing he also analyzes the behavior and ideas of several Associate Justices from Felix Frankfurter to Sandra Day O'Connor.
He first examines the decisions in Roe v. Wade and Webster v. Reproductive Health Services and shows the tension between Justice Blackmun and Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist over the issue of abortion. One of the most divisive issues in American politics today is abortion, with strong feelings on both sides and with two unyielding perspectives in direct conflict. The pro-life perspective sees human life as beginning at conception,

Morales's narrative vividly illustrates that the sociocultural system of family structure into which a child is born appears to have an especially strong impact on the shape of Mexican-American childhood experience, attitudes, and behavior. The family background, including the moral and ethical values inculcated into the child, can also be seen to have been decisive in shaping individual life choices as well as the psychosocial continuity of character.

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on causes of crime in Amer. neighborhoods & suggests community policing as solution.
Paper Introduction:
Wesley G. Skogan, in Disorder and Decay: Crime and the Spiral of Decay in American Neighborhoods, examines the causes of crime in inner-city neighborhoods and the suggested solution of community policing. Skogan bases his work on a study by two political scientists and "academic policing experts." James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, who wrote about the sources of neighborhood crime, the physical and social deterioration of urban areas, and the vicious cycle of fear and decay and crime in such neighborhoods. Skogan, a Northwestern University professor of political science and urban affairs, examines a number of studies which were generated by the first article by Wilson and Kelling which was written in 1982. The studies covered forty inner-city areas in six cities overall. After his analysis, Skogan concludes that the process known as community policing

Paper Abstract:
(Alan Riding). Critical review of work aimed at making Mexico more accessible to non-Mexicans.
Paper Introduction:
Alan Riding, in Distant Neighbors: A Portrait of the Mexicans, has set for himself a highly ambitious task: "The purpose of this book is to make Mexico more accessible to non-Mexicans. It is inspired not by a desire to expose the country's vulnerabilities but by the belief that Mexico would also be better served if better understood by its northern neighbor" (p. xii). This is a highly commendable ambition, but Riding makes unwarranted assumptions when he takes for granted that the United States has any desire to understand Mexico. The history of the relationship between the two countries demonstrates that the United States has a low tolerance for understanding and a high tolerance for exploitation. The people of the United States have demonstrated a monumental indifference toward Mexico (except with respect to keeping out "illegal aliens" --- aside from those

Paper Abstract:
Examines work on bushmen of Botswana. Locale, ecology, tools, plants & animals in diet, mobility, society.
Paper Introduction:
The Ju/'hoansi are bushmen of the Kalahari Desert who live in the area of northwestern Botswana near the border of Namibia. This location is important because the Kalahari and its relative isolation provide an environment that nourishes a significant foraging culture and isolates it from heavy penetration and influence by the outside world. This paper will examine how the Ju/'hoansi Bushmen's lives are influenced by their environment and how it affects their subsistence, political organization, mobility, and shelter.
In contrast to the conceptions of a Western industrialized culture as the pinnacle of human success, the Ju/'hoansi present a picture of steady work, steady leisure, and adequate diet (Lee iv). The traditional Ju/'hoansi need to work only a few hours a day to maintain a caloric level that enables them to live

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes work on Arab intellectual life in second half of 20th Cent. & compares it to two other related works.
Paper Introduction:
Fouad Ajami’s The Dream Palace of the Arabs is a tale both of a place and of a generation. It is in many ways a hagiography of the world of the Arab intellectual in the 20th century, a world lived in large measure in exile, sometimes even from within the intellectual’s native land. It is a tale of theocracy and artistic freedom, of longing for belonging, of the passionate desire to find out who one is and why it is that one is different from both peoples in other places and from peoples in other times. This paper looks at some of the themes in this book as they are laid out in Ajami’s prologue and connects these themes to other authors exploring some of the same subjects.
Ajami is writing the story of the world of ideas in which intellectual Arabs have immersed themselves – or tried to immerse themselves – during the years more or less after World War II and the g
