Show moreAbner Doubleday was an unusual and often a controversial person. Born into a family staunchly supporting Andrew Jackson, Doubleday reflected the determined Unionist position of the strong-willed president. Abner's attitude towards the Union was later vividly demonstrated at Fort Sumter. A mediocre career at West Point illustrated Doubleday's lack of desire to excel although he possessed the ability to do so. The controversy over the origin of baseball, although Doubleday was never directly involved in the question, was the first of several controversies with which Abner Doubleday's name is associated., Doubleday never seemed satisfied with his early life. In his papers he continually referred to people, prominent in later years, which he knew. While serving in the Mexican War, Doubleday continually felt the need to relate the dangerous situations in which he was placed. He seemed to want to demonstrate his personal responsibilities, which while actually meager, he viewed as of supreme importance. Doubleday apparently wanted to be a famous, bold cavalier, but realized he failed to accomplish his objective and stressed his "noble" deeds., Doubleday loved large cities and the benefits they offered a person. He liked being in the right social circles and enjoyed the "good life." By 1852, while serving as a commissioner for the Senate, Doubleday had come to despise Mexico and the Mexicans. By 1858, while serving in Florida, he disliked the inconveniences of chasing "savages." With secession in 1860 Doubleday no longer liked Charlestonians; later extending his revulsion to all Confederates., With the crisis at Sumter in 1861 Doubleday was greatly troubled. The affront to the United States government was almost more than he could bear. With the outbreak of the war, Doubleday was more than willing to fight the rebels. A dependable, if unspectacular soldier, Doubleday served well during the Civil War. While no one accused him of original thinking militarily, his men always fought well. Gettysburg was Doubleday's finest hour but became his final hour in the Civil War when he could not countenance serving under a junior officer., It seems strange that Doubleday served in the Freedmen's Bureau since his superior was none other than his old enemy from Gettysburg, O.O. Howard. Doubleday's service in California brought the controversy over the origin of the cable car. Retirement from the army in 1873 brought out several new qualities in Abner Doubleday. He wrote books, read French and Spanish literature, and became interested in the occult and became a believer in theosophy., Doubleday was a colorful figure in nineteenth century America. He was associated with several significant events in the growth of the nation. Doubleday represented, possibly to an extreme, the attitude of many American Unionists and supporters of Manifest Destiny. His commitment to a united nation is similar to Lincoln's attitude. Doubleday not only vocalized this sentiment, but, like Lincoln, was prepared to fight for his belief. Abner Doubleday was an intense American. He desired a strong, powerful United States and opposed those not supporting such a course.

Show moreIn schools across America, school safety and student discipline remain primary concerns for all stakeholders in the education process. Researchers and educators suggest that implementing a school-wide discipline plan tailored to meet the needs of a particular school setting is one solution to the complex behavior management problem. The limited research on the actual impact of using a school-wide discipline program in specific school settings indicates that further investigation regarding these programs is warranted. The primary purpose of this longitudinal study was to gain insights and understandings of the implementation of a comprehensive behavior management program, Discipline with Unity, within a specific primary school setting in Southwest Georgia across a three-year time frame, 2005-2008. The goal was to assess the impact of program implementation on (a) student behavior, (b) teachers' perceptions toward behavior management, and (c) school climate. Revelatory themes emerging from teachers' narrative comments along with consequences, both intended and unintended, of program implementation were also identified and discussed. Furthering research in this area should add information to the existing body of knowledge regarding the process of developing and implementing a positive school-wide discipline initiative oriented toward preventing behavior problems. However, the results of this study may not be generalized to other settings. The descriptive case study utilized a mixed methods non-experimental research design with an emphasis on qualitative approaches to data analysis. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were the primary sources of data collection and allowed the researcher to gain access to more descriptive information while providing insight into teachers' perspectives of program implementation. Qualitative data analysis techniques were used to derive themes and understandings of the behavior initiative. Details of a story emerged throughout the guided inquiry process to describe program implementation as perceived by school staff. Quantitative data were collected through office discipline referral data, school-administered discipline surveys, and district-administered Correlates of Effective Schools Staff Perception Surveys. Descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, independent t tests, and one-way between groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed to help analyze and evaluate the school-wide program's impact. A variety of factors appear to have influenced the implementation of the comprehensive Discipline with Unity behavior management program. Results of the investigation indicated that this school-wide initiative brought about a number of changes in beliefs, teaching approaches, and discipline. Findings also suggested that implementation of the school-wide program had a generally positive impact on student behavior, teachers' perceptions of behavior management, and school climate. However, concerns regarding program implementation were also identified. Several of the prominent themes related to the outcomes of the study were the chronic offender, consistency in program implementation, and resistance to change. Specifically, recommendations were offered for the school-level educational practitioners implementing the program, district-level personnel, and future researchers in the process of school-wide behavior management program implementation.

Show moreOne perspective not often brought to the study of detective fiction is that from the field of information science. Among other topics, information science is concerned with information behavior, or how people behave with respect to information: needing, seeking, accidentally encountering, avoiding, evaluating, storing and so forth. Examining the solving of a mystery as an information behavior has potential for insights into the genre and into our twenty-first century readings of detective fiction. Current audiences are accustomed to modern information technology and the information behaviors afforded by it: amateur sleuths hack computer systems or professional detectives analyze trace evidence for DNA. Highly technologized contemporary information environments leave us to ask: in what ways do the manipulation of information value, and the sophistication of the information behaviors, in novels written by Agatha Christie in the early- to mid-twentieth century, continue to enthrall readers in the twenty-first?

Show moreMuch of the current historiography of American Christian fundamentalism focuses solely on Scottish Common Sense Realism as an intellectual source of fundamentalist epistemology since the early twentieth century. This thesis argues against this historiographical trend by illuminating the central role of Dutch Reformed presuppositionalism in the formation of fundamentalist epistemologies. Articulated within the context of revitalization, confessional, and secessionists movements within the state Dutch Reformed Church, theologians such as Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck developed an epistemological system that stressed the necessity of correct presuppositions as a prerequisite for obtaining truth. Without correct ideas about God, in other words, one was incapable of perceiving any other truth in its fullness. This epistemological tradition was brought to North America by Dutch Reformed immigrants, who primarily settled in the Upper Midwest during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cornelius Van Til, one of these immigrants, served as a professor at J. Gresham Machen's Westminster Theological Seminary immediately following the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy and taught his unswerving presuppositionalism to several generations of non-Dutch, American Presbyterian seminarians, including Francis A. Schaeffer. Schaeffer, though rejecting the strictly Reformed strain of fundamentalism represented by Machen and Van Til's Orthodox Presbyterian Church, adapted presuppositionalism to suit his purposes, combining it with traditional Princetonian Scottish Common Sense Realism. This resulted in an epistemology that proved to be influential during the rise of the Christian Right in the latter half of the twentieth century. By investigating epistemologies that competed with Scottish Common Sense Realism or creatively interacted with it, a clearer picture appears of the diverse nature of Christian fundamentalism. It no longer seems to be monolithic, but rather it contains a plethora of theological and confessional influences that interact in numerous ways that necessitate academic investigation.

A central claim of this essay is that the Revival of 1826 cemented a distinctly religious rhetoric as the operating ideology of West Point. This ideology held that the defense and maintenance of the sovereignty of the United States was to be cadets' primary objective. Cadets were taught that defending American sovereignty constituted a divine mandate incumbent upon them as students of West Point. Finally, a key goal of this essay has been to ground "civil religion" in sources particular to this essay in the hope of reworking the concept for broader use in American religious history.

Show moreThis thesis is primarily focused on my modern edition and translation of "Poema Morale," a late twelfth-century English homiletic poem. Not since Richard Morris' great contribution to the study of early medieval literature has anyone produced a full translation of the poem from any of its seven manuscript variants. Because Morris worked 140 years ago when editorial and translation philosophies and practices were vastly different than twenty-first-century policies, a modern translation and edition are necessary, especially for an introductory student in medieval literature. I begin my thesis with a four-part Introduction that covers the manuscripts in which "Poema Morale" is found; an analysis of Richard Morris' edition and translation for a better understanding of Victorian practices and the poem; an overview of the history of the homiletic tradition that led to the production of this poetic homily; and finally, a discussion of textual variance and how our perception and understanding of "variance" dictates our interpretation and editing of a text. Following the Introduction, I present my Editorial and Translation Policies so that the reader may understand why I made certain choices. My edition and translation follow the explanation of my policies and appear alongside one another. I include endnotes on the text for further explanation of certain editorial or translation decisions that I made. Finally, I include my diplomatic transcription in the Appendix so that the reader may see the manuscript through my eyes. Although first-hand experience with the manuscript can never be replaced, it is my hope that my diplomatic transcription will not only bring the reader closer to the manuscript but will also provide further insight into my editorial decisions. Having never undertaken such a tremendous task, I brought with me the beliefs I formed during my own beginning in the study of medieval literature. I began my medieval studies only two and a half years ago with a total of six courses, and my own frustrations with editions and translations led me to the desire to edit and translate the texts for myself. Through this thesis, I hope to present a modern edition and translation of a pivotal piece of early Middle English literature often forgotten in the medieval literary canon and, thus, the classroom.

Show moreThe recent two decades have witnessed a developing historical debate between China and Japan. Standing in the center of this debate are different historical interpretations presented in textbooks. Both China and Japan seem to blame each other for promoting supposedly politically-biased historical education. This has become a growing problem causing wide concerns even internationally: on the one hand, there is an increasing debate about the supposed existence of "Anti-Japanese" education in China since the last decade of 20th century; on the other, many scholars from China, Japan and the Western world also criticize what they see as a distorted (or omitted) history of the war presented in Japanese textbooks. According to the "framing" theories introduced by scholars such as Foucault, Giltin, Gamson, and Modigliani in the late 20th century, history textbooks, just like media, could "organize the world" both for authors who wrote them and students who rely on them. There are many skills in framing history in textbooks and one of them is the skill of "pointing at one [to] abuse another." Using a specific technique to analyze the interplays between changing politics and educational narratives surrounding World War II (which began in China in 1937) in Chinese and Japanese middle school textbooks during a certain period: 1950-1990, the paper aims to discover the history of changing narratives about World War II in both Chinese and Japanese middle school history textbooks and how they interacted with politics over time.

Show moreThe Ordinance of 1787 provided the method for territories of the Old Northwest to become states. It set out a three-stage process that territories would pass through in order to acquire full rights of statehood. Furthermore, it contained six Articles of Compact between Congress on behalf of the extant states and the states to be created out of the territory. These articles provided guarantees of fundamental rights and liberties for the future states, including religious practice and belief. The first article provided that "no person, demeaning himself in a peaceable and orderly manner shall ever be molested on account of his mode of worship or religious sentiments in the said territory." Article Three stated that, "religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, Schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." This study uncovers how ideas on government, law, and religion led to the drafting of the religion clauses of the Northwest Ordinance. Scholars have spent little time examining the philosophical underpinnings of the statements on religion contained in the Northwest Ordinance. This study demonstrates that these statements were not mere afterthoughts, but were thick and complex statements on how the state and the church should be related. The legislative history of the Northwest Ordinance indicates that the language for the religion clauses appeared just before the document's passage, but it also seems that the drafters drew upon a deep well of theological and philosophical beliefs and applied them to a specific political and economic context. The theological ideas included Puritan and evangelical ideas like millennarianism, free will, true virtue, and covenant. Philosophical views included both Enlightenment philosophy and civic republicanism. Part of the exploration of this question occurs within the context of the debate of church and state relations in Revolutionary Virginia and Massachusetts. This is necessary for a number of reasons. First, it narrows the scope of the study without sacrificing important historical developments. A study of this sort that does not limit itself geographically can quickly become unmanageable. To include the developments in the negotiation over church and state in all thirteen colonies would be to ask for an unwieldy study that would not necessarily reach significantly different conclusions from a more limited one. The struggle over church and state in the Virginia and Massachusetts contexts represented the most important and illustrative developments. The state governments of Virginia and Massachusetts and their representatives played influential roles in the drafting of the Northwest Ordinance. Thus, considering these developments will provide a helpful understanding of the ideological antecedents of the religion clauses of the Northwest Ordinance. Virginia and Massachusetts served as microcosmic representations for the church-state debate in the Revolutionary period. It is both within this indirect and broader microcosmic connection, as well as more direct connections to the Northwest Ordinance itself that the importance of the Massachusetts and Virginia debates are derived. Virginia reached a liberal principle of religious liberty before most of the other states and thus became an example for the other states of how the fusion of Protestant dissension and Christian voluntarism could lead to antiestablishment thought and a liberal expression of religious toleration. Opponents of establishment in many of the other states cited Virginia's thinkers in their own constitutional moves toward disestablishment. Virginia shared a direct connection with the Northwest Ordinance in two ways. First, the Virginia Legislature had to cede all of her land claims to the Northwest Territory before the Continental Congress could create a territorial policy for the Northwest. Virginia gentry also drafted portions of or served on several of the key committees in the legislative history of the Northwest Ordinance. Virginian Thomas Jefferson composed the Ordinance of 1784, the first national expression of territorial policy for the Northwest. His Ordinance provided a basis for the development of the Northwest Ordinance. Virginian James Monroe proposed changes to Jefferson's Ordinance, helping to draft key sections of the Northwest Ordinance. Monroe's ideas included how many states should be created out of the Northwest Territory and under what conditions these states should enter the Union. Monroe embraced a New England style of territorial development, urging that the Northwest Territory should be settled by townships and in an organized fashion. One of the significant reasons Monroe embraced this style of territorialism was because of the Ohio Company and the large number of New England Revolutionary War veterans who made up the Company's membership rolls and wanted to settle the Northwest Territory under principles consonant with their own particular New England beliefs. The importance of the teaching of natural religion was cited by both opponents and supporters of establishment in revolutionary Massachusetts. Supporters of limited establishment, in the guise of Article Three of the proposed 1780 constitution, argued that the governmental support of religion had social utilitarian importance. Supporters of Article Three argued that the teaching of the doctrine of a future state of rewards or punishment inculcated virtue into the Massachusetts citizenry. Opponents of Article Three, like the anonymous New Light writer Philanthropos, opposed the teaching of fundamental Calvinist principles, like the doctrine of future states, because they saw the teaching of these principles by the government as antithetical to notions of the inviolability of individual conscience. Opponents of Article Three supported the right of individual conscience to such an extent that on at least one occasion, opponents practiced civil disobedience in the closing of the courts in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The leader of the civil disobedient group, the Berkshire Consitutionalists, was Thomas Allen. As noted above, Allen practiced a rigid Calvinist orthodoxy. He was a member of the New Divinity movement that believed in the importance of retaining strict theological principles, while still allowing for a socially active form of Christianity. This social activism stemmed from interpretations of the nature of true virtue that originated in the mind of Jonathan Edwards. Consistent Calvinists embraced these Edwardsean notions and extended them to causes like abolition or disestablishment. The Reverend Thomas Allen embraced New Divinity ideas and helped to influence the church-state debate in Massachusetts. The church-state debate in Massachusetts also had a direct link to the drafting of the religion clauses of the Northwest Ordinance in two other ways. Manasseh Cutler, land agent for the Ohio Company, hailed from Massachusetts. He, more than probably anyone else, influenced the text of the Ordinance and the timing of its passage. As described above, Cutler's biography linked several of the key arguments made for the territorial policy articulated in the Northwest Ordinance. Finally, it seems that the authors of the Northwest Ordinance's Articles of Compact culled the Massachusetts Constitution 1780 for the specific language of the Ordinance's religion clauses. Thus, a greater understanding of the Revolutionary Massachusetts church-state narrative, along with the story of church-state relations as they developed in Virginia, yields some of the intentions of the framers of the Northwest Ordinance's religion clauses. The final portion of this study is shorter and much more speculative. The study contemplates the Ordinance's influence upon the drafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights vis-à-vis the religion clauses of each document. Many members of the Continental Congress were also members of the Constitutional Convention. Members of the Confederation Congress corresponded heavily with members of the Constitutional Convention and vice versa. Thus, it is hard to imagine that each body did not know what the other was doing. Furthermore, the First Congress readopted the Northwest Ordinance just days before debating what would become the First Amendment. So, it can be assumed that the Northwest Ordinance is constitutional and that it also served as an example and influence in the drafting of the Bill of Rights. This area of study is much more speculative in nature and ultimately the discussion in this thesis is more suggestive of future directions of study. It raises questions about the constitutional effect of the Northwest Ordinance with respect to the issue of church and state and broader issues of religion and politics in the Revolutionary Period.

Title: "Raising Daughters and Loving Sons": Gender, African-American Maternal Parenting Styles, and Identity Formation.
Creator: McKendrick, Wachell, Mullis, Ann K., Iatarola, Patrice, McWey, Lenore M., Department of Family and Child Sciences, Florida State University
Abstract/Description: This descriptive study investigated whether emerging adults' gender differentially impacted perceptions of mother (figure's) parenting style and subsequently identity formation in African American undergraduates. To assess whether association existed between the categorical variables of gender and mother (figure) parenting style (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) and to determine statistical significance, chi-square difference tests were conducted.

Show moreThis descriptive study investigated whether emerging adults' gender differentially impacted perceptions of mother (figure's) parenting style and subsequently identity formation in African American undergraduates. To assess whether association existed between the categorical variables of gender and mother (figure) parenting style (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) and to determine statistical significance, chi-square difference tests were conducted. To assess whether association existed between the variables of gender, mother parenting style, and identity status and determine statistical significance, frequencies and correlations were compared. Results revealed no significant differences in perceptions of mother (figures') parenting style based on gender; however, there were other specific differences noted. Emerging adults in this sample who perceived of their mother (figures) as Authoritative were more likely Undifferentiated in identity status; females in this status were more likely than males to perceive of their parenting as Authoritarian. The findings of this study appear to have implications for developing parent education in African American families and interventions for young adults who may be experiencing identity confusion.

Show moreThis collection of short stories contains my work about my homeland, Taiwan, as well as my American experience. Back in Taiwan, I often questioned my identity as a woman in a male dominant society. "Women are worthless" is a poison that passes on from mothers to daughters, generation after generation. When I came to America, I was determined to break the cycle. As I gradually grew accustomed to American ways, I found my feelings towards both lands become even more confused. Living in America for all these years has created a gap between my homeland and me that can never be bridged. On the other hand, adopting American ways helps me survive in this country, but doesn't help me fit into the community. I wonder where I actually belong?. As I continued to search for my identity, I began to discover more conflict among human beings. I extended my questioning towards not just my homeland or Chinese culture, but also towards America and its culture. My disappointment towards Taiwanese men was extended towards not just men of any culture, but human beings in general. Looking back, this realization helps me create characters that are more human and stories that are more realistic. The experience has made me become a better writer as well as a better person. I have never regretted the choice I made: coming to America. Neither have I regretted the choice I did not make: born to be a woman.
