Consumption patterns in developing regions: Their impact on family, community and cultural dynamics Case studies from Cusco, PeruMinot, Severine January 2003 (has links)
Mainstream approaches usually follow standard economic principles which have been developed in order to better understand the behaviour of modern western consumers in a capitalist context. In time, we have come to understand that these same principles are profoundly inadequate in explaining third world consumption and even more inappropriate when attempting to expound its qualitative effects on living standards, family relations, community dynamics and cultural changes in developing regions. To make sense of this problematic, the problem will be outlined in broad terms and the present research's objectives clarified, along with its theoretical inclination, analytical framework and methodology. Then, to better understand the need for such a project, popular discourses on consumption in economics, development, globalization processes and cultural change will be reviewed. Then, a brief explanation as to why Peru was chosen as the site for this project's case studies will be presented, as well as a critique of Peruvian and Andean politico-economics. Finally, research findings and conclusions will be presented and discussed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

A community built on the pond: Social cohesion, sport tourism and the World Pond Hockey ChampionshipsAwde, Cory January 2008 (has links)
Neoliberalism and globalization have contributed to an environment of economic uncertainty in rural Canada, raising concern for the social well-being of its residents. Despite immense challenges, many rural communities possess positive elements of social cohesion that can be used by the community in the pursuit of their communal objectives. This thesis uses social cohesion as a theoretical framework to examine this rural social environment, its relationship with sport tourism and sport's ability to foster social cohesion. Using Plaster Rock, New Brunswick and the World Pond Hockey Championships (WPHC) as a case study, this thesis broadens social cohesion research to include tourists and other visitors to rural regions. In doing so, this thesis demonstrates how the social potential of sport creates a community around the event with its own social cohesion. The residents of the host community participate in the event's activities, which contribute to the achievement the common goals of all stakeholders, local and visiting. This research begins to examine the unique social environment which exists in many rural communities, as well contributes to a better understanding of sport and sport tourism's ability to foster social cohesion in these communities.

Traditional values and capitalism in contemporary South KoreaFletcher, Jennifer January 2008 (has links)
Max Weber argued that traditional values impede the development of capitalism in Confucian societies. Korea is an economic success, yet is also known as the most Confucian of East Asian countries. This thesis seeks to explain the marriage between a thriving consumer-based economy and a traditional Confucian value system.
Broadly, it was found that Koreans are committed to uniquely adapted values that while faithful to their Confucian origins, are also products of contemporary Korean history. What results are core values that appear to be staid in traditional terms, but are in effect driving forces for economic growth and national unity.
Within these findings, it is revealed that (1) Confucian ideals of family relationships, rank and essential virtues are at the forefront of the Korean imaginary; (2) it is possible to harmonize the terms modern and traditional, (3) that capitalism is culturally constructed and therefore not fully subject to Weberian limitations.

Sage and the city: A case study of identity at an urban Aboriginal organizationReno, Dorothy January 2009 (has links)
In the past few decades, Aboriginals in Canada have undergone a steep urban transition. The challenges associated with the city, such as racism, poverty, feelings of dislocation, coping and thriving within the broader Canadian society, and negotiating identity, are all issues which led to the creation of urban cultural centres and organizations. Within the context of these organizations, the communities that are formed are multicultural in the sense of bringing together all Aboriginal peoples from a variety of First Nations, Metis and Inuit backgrounds. On one hand, Aboriginal cultural centres are faced with the challenge of respectfully acknowledging the diverse cultures of Aboriginal peoples, while on the other, identifying, and celebrating the common cultural values shared by all Aboriginals. Cultural centres have also stepped up to offer support for Aboriginal people(s) in the ongoing negotiation with modernity and the healing through the process of cultural reclamation. This study, which is exploratory in nature, examines identity at an urban Aboriginal cultural centre, from both individual, and community perspectives. In true postmodern fashion, this work melts away disciplinary boundaries by taking on theoretical approaches from sociology, anthropology, and political philosophy.

The new French: A focus on the children of Algerian descent in the classroomBoyd, Marisa January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the connection between the institution of the French educational system and its effects on the new French population (predominately children of Algerian immigrants). This thesis makes the connection between the high school or lycee and the social barriers its "minority" students experience within the school system. By focusing on two broad dimensions of the French school system; its structure and values, this thesis argues that the system produces inequalities amongst its students primarily because of its failure to recognise the multiethnic classroom. By contextualising colonial France in Algeria, this thesis shows the connection between France's unique history and its educational institution as it relates to present day French culture. This thesis shows that the French educational system is so well established in its secular traditions that it no longer meets the needs of its students and consequently produces and reproduces exclusion and otherness.

'A restraint of their debauchery': Poverty, power, and social policy in Augustan England, 1688-1723Hitchcock, David January 2009 (has links)
"'A Restraint of Their Debauchery': Poverty, Power, and Social Policy in Augustan England, 1688-1723" examines the connections between ideas and definitions of poverty created by both elites and the poor, and social policy legislation and disbursement of relief. Specifically, Mackworth's failed 1704 omnibus reform bill, and Knatchbull's successful 1723 Workhouse Test Act are considered. Successive chapters are dedicated to historiography and methodology, the contemporary pamphlet debates over poverty, pauper self-definition in petitions to the state, and politics and policy during the early eighteenth century. Often this analysis focuses on individuals. Notable subjects include: John Locke, Matthew Hale, Bernard Mandeville, John Bellers, Daniel Defoe, Richard Cocks, Humphrey Mackworth, and Edward Knatchbull. Several observations about the character of contemporary perceptions of poverty are made, and their connection to the resulting legislative and published efforts is explained.
