An action research inquiry into a bereavement project in GiyaniShivambu, Elizabeth 07 September 2012 (has links)
M.Ed. / The research was done in Sections A, DI, D2 and E, Giyani Township, in the Northern Province. The main participants were mothers who had lost their adult children in fatal traffic accidents. Other members of the community were also interviewed to find out about their attitudes towards traffic fatalities of young people in Giyani. The research methods used were interviews, questionnaires and observations. These three methods were found to be appropriate in the elicitation of the data. The main purpose of the research was to find out what the views of bereaved parents were with regard to an awareness campaign in road safety. After the analysis of data, it was found that people in Giyani do really need a solution to the said problem, but they would most probably prefer a support group whereby people would be offered assistance after traumatic experiences - not necessarily only when confronted with fatal traffic experiences, but all types of trauma. The opinion of a support group was that people believed traffic fatalities are unpredictable and unavoidable.

The impact of federal government welfare expenditures on state government expenditures and philanthropic giving to human service organizations (HSOs) : 2005-2006Kim, Sung-Ju 12 June 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / A sizeable body of research has attempted to examine the interaction between government spending and private giving known as the crowd-out effect. Most researchers reported that increases of government spending cause decreases of philanthropic giving to different types of nonprofits. However, few studies have attempted to indicate the interaction between government welfare expenditures and private giving to human service organizations even though human service organizations are the most sensitive to the changes of government spending. Additionally, the estimated crowd-out effects with a simple crowd-out model have been criticized for potential endogeneity bias. This paper investigates the total effect of federal government welfare spending on state government expenditures and philanthropic giving to human service organizations (known as joint crowd-out). I used the 2005 wave of the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS) to estimate the effect of federal human service grants on state government spending on, and donations to human services. From these reduced-form estimates I infer the levels of simple and joint crowd-out. I found that indicate federal spending on public welfare crowds out private giving to human service organizations while holding control variables constant in the donations equation. However, federal government spending on public welfare crowds in state government spending on public welfare.
