Communication climate in a health care setting : a case studyReynolds, Kristy 06 May 1991 (has links)
The climate in which communication occurs is a result of
how employees in an organization perceive and react to such
factors as rewards, support, trust, openness, decision making,
and leadership. The purpose of this case study is to identify
and describe communication climate factors in a health care
organization which are negatively influencing employee
productivity and morale.
A literature review provides information which describes
research in areas of health care communication,
communication climate, and leadership. A multi-method
approach is used to gather information from the twelve
employees and the manager of this organization. / Graduation date: 1992

The group ethos in Japanese preschools and in Japanese societyLeman, Hope 05 May 1997 (has links)
This paper examines the group ethos that is such a critical part of preschool education in
contemporary Japan. The paper discusses the importance to parents and to the government
of suppressing individuality and of inculcating a positive feeling for the group in children in
Japanese early childhood education. The group ethos is a part of Japanese society as a
whole and of its political culture, in particular. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to
discover parallels between values that prevail in early childhood classrooms and in
Japanese politics and culture. The paper also explores the possible costs, both to individual
children and to society, of the overarching priority of socialization for group living in the
preschool setting. / Graduation date: 1998

Military Spending and the Washington Consensus: The Unrecognized Link between Militarization and the Global Political EconomyJackson, Susan Teresa January 2008 (has links)
Military spending briefly dipped in the early 1990s only to rebound by the end of the 20th century, yet policymakers and academics alike predicted a peace dividend if the cold war should end. What happened to this peace dividend? How do some countries actualize a peace dividend in a world that seems not to encourage one? Typically military spending is analyzed through lenses focusing on international politics, bureaucratic process, or domestic political economy. I argue that these three lenses have failed to account for some of the reasons military spending remains high in the post-cold war era. Utilizing sociological institutionalism and world models, I examine how the rules of the Washington consensus via the neo-liberal economic agenda and the national security exception promote high levels of military spending that the three main theories fail to recognize. This study particularly delves into the roles of states and transnational corporations in terms of competitiveness in the global political economy and privileges allotted to the military industry. My tests rely on fuzzy-set comparative qualitative analysis (fsQCA) as an innovative means for looking at necessary conditions as well as sufficient conjunctural causation through which countries can achieve a peace dividend in the post-cold war era.

Salsa and its transnational moves : the commodification of latin dance in MontrealPietrobruno, Sheenagh January 2001 (has links)
In Montreal, salsa dancing is both an expression of Latin identity and a cultural commodity. Many Montrealers of Latin descent adopt salsa dance as part of their cultural heritage only after arriving in Canada, connecting, through salsa, to a transnational Latin identity that crosses the Americas. This situation illustrates how cultural affiliations are not necessarily fixed, but can be acquired in response to changing circumstances. Since salsa is not indigenous to the city, residents of Montreal can only access it through cultural institutions and community media outlets. This commodification influences the manner in which salsa expresses Latin identity in the city. At the same time that salsa dancing proclaims Latin identity for certain individuals in the city, the practice thrives in a multicultural context: the Montreal salsa scene comprises diverse individuals who promote, teach, and dance salsa. This dissertation addresses points of division and cooperation among diverse cultures, ethnicities, races, and both sexes, as they are played out in aspects of salsa dancing in the city. The unfolding of these relationships is influenced by both the commodification of salsa dancing and its link to Latin culture. This analysis seeks to provide a theoretical account of the tension between salsa's expression of identity and its status as a commodified cultural practice. This perspective integrates various approaches to the study of dance and culture stemming from anthropology, sociology and cultural studies. Analyzing the Montreal salsa scene, I draw from in-depth interviews with individuals involved in the promotion of Latin dance and music, as well as participant observations in salsa dance classes, clubs and events. The methodology of this research combines ethnography with various areas of concern: the history of salsa, Latin immigration patterns in Montreal, theories of multiculturalism, transnationalism and diaspora, the Latin influence in ballroom dance, Europe
