To protect and serve? : a conceptual investigation into the extremes of police powerde Soete, Francois 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis articulates a conceptual understanding of police power in North America,
identifying how this power manifests itself on the street, in hopes of illuminating the
power dynamic that enables instances of misconduct to occur. The works of Michel
Foucault, Frantz Fanon, and Louis Althusser are deployed as the theoretical frameworks
through which police power is analyzed. The Foucauldian perspective presents police
power as a function of juridico-scientific disciplinary forces in society. This analysis is
supplemented with an examination of police power as a post-colonial phenomenon,
drawing on Fanon's work as a framework through which discriminatory police practices
are examined. Finally, police power is examined within the context of capitalist
production, and the repressive and ideological state apparatuses, as theorized by
Althusser, to identify the class dimension that influences policing in North America. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

A temporal classification of folklore of the Okanagan IndiansFlynn, Francis Robert John January 1976 (has links)
The Okanagan Indians classify their folklore into three states: (1) animals only in the area (2) animals and humans living harmoniously (3) animals and humans hunt and kill each other. Word counts were done on 55 stories and distance and other coefficients were calculated between pairs of stories. Cluster analyzes on the matrix of distances attempted to determine if the classifications could be arrived at methodologically. Analyzes used were Factor Analysis, Smallest Space Analysis, and Hierarchical Clustering. Results were mixed, and some techniques of Hierarchical Clustering separated the stories into the three categories. / Arts, Faculty of / Anthropology, Department of / Graduate

Elementary students' images and understanding of First Nations peopleKaschel, Werner Friedrich Karl 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine grade six and seven students' images and understanding
of First Nations people. Eighteen students participated in the study out of an intact class of 21. I
hypothesized, based on the students' personal experience through popular culture, family and school,
that they would possess historical images and would lack a broad understanding of contemporary
First Nations people. I determined what their images and understanding were prior to starting a unit
of study on the subject and what, if any, changes occurred in their thinking and knowledge after the
eight week unit was taught. The unit focused on the First Nations cultures of British Columbia with
special attention given to the Northwest Coast cultures. Data were collected using a photo-portrait
questionnaire, pre- and post- unit questionnaires, learning log entries, and pre- and post-unit
interviews with six students.
A photo- portrait questionnaire consisted of 15 images representing contemporary and historical
First Nations people of both genders, all ages and from different professions. The students determined
whether each person in the photo represented a First Nations person, and provided a brief explanation
of their response. Pre- and post- unit questionnaires provided evidence of the effects teaching had on
the students' knowledge. Learning logs gathered information on the students' understanding of
Native peoples as they progressed through the unit of study. Prior to commencing the unit, students'
possessed historical/stereotypical images, and had a good historical understanding of how the First
Nations people lived on the West Coast. However, knowledge of contemporary First Nations people
and issues was limited. By the end of the unit, students displayed empathy towards First Nations and
demonstrated that they had a broadened understanding of contemporary issues as well as stable
misconceptions and inaccurate depictions of First Nations peoples. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate
