Full textAbstract:
The aim of the current study was to conduct a psychobiography of the life of Martin Luther King Junior, who was born in 1929 and died in 1968. He was an American clergyman, husband, father, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. King fought for civil rights for all people. His “I Have a Dream” speech raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established him as one of the greatest orators in the United States of America. His main legacy was to secure access to civil rights for all Americans, thereby empowering people of all racial and religious backgrounds, and promoting equality in the American nation. This is a psychobiographical research study which aimed to explore and describe the life of Martin Luther King junior’s psychological development according to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory. King was selected through purposive sampling on the basis of interest, value, and uniqueness to the researcher. Alexander’s model of identifying salient themes was used to analyse the data which were then compared to Erikson’s theory through a process of analytical generalisation. Limitations of the current study were identified and certain recommendations for future research in this field are offered.

Harris, Tavon Antonio. "BELIEFS ABOUT SOCIAL WORKERS AMONG BLACK MALES." CSUSB ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu/etd/365.
Full textAbstract:
It’s been more than a decade since the National Institute of Mental Health (NAMI) initiated its public campaign, ‘Real Men Real Depression.’ Despite increased awareness, research and relevant studies indicate that African American / Black men continue to underutilize mental health treatment while still having the highest all-cause mortality rates of any racial/ ethnic group in the United States. When reading this statement, one must question what impact that the beliefs about ‘social workers’ through the lens of Black males in the United States, may play. This very simply, yet flammable, question not only seems pertinent but also seems to warrant further exploration due to the research that shows that service access and help-seeking by African-American males across the lifespan is significantly lower than that of their non-Black counterparts. That same research seems to make assumptions about why this is, however it is only responsible and ethical, given the National Association of Social workers’ (NASW) Code of Ethics calling for cultural competence in practice, that we challenge and test the rationales being offered.
This study was exploratory in nature, employed a snowball sampling methodology, and utilized an electronic survey offered through social media and promoted by word of mouth, targeting Black males over the age of 18, to assess their overall knowledge about being a social worker, and their beliefs and perceptions about social workers and how they believe social workers perceive them. The goal of this study was to begin to explore the reasons for overwhelming statistics that speak to the fact that Black males do not access mental health services, especially those provided by social workers. A total of 59 were started, and 43 completed, by the target respondents, which included a 5-item scale, to assess basic knowledge about social workers, a 10-item scale to assess the general beliefs about social workers, and 13-item scale to assess the beliefs about the perceptions of social workers about Black males. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using SPSS, and the results revealed that although there was a moderate level of general knowledge about social workers, the general belief of the respondents were primarily negative, with their beliefs about how social workers see Black males was just slightly more positive. These results seemed to be across the board and were not shown to be correlated with level of education, income, or whether they has received direct services provided by social workers or had no affiliation with such services. What did seem to have some relevance was an overall negative belief about social workers, and a level of suspicion and distrust for how their information would be used, as evidenced by 16 respondents who started the survey but would not completed it.
In keeping with the NASW Code of Ethics, recommendation are provided to helps clinicians and those social workers providing direct service, be informed of the suspicions and apprehensions among this population, while encouraging the importance of continuous learning and increasing of cultural competence, awareness and humility. Lastly, recommendations for future research are also provided for the same purposes.

Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Law, 2004. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/23951.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis critically compares how domestic human rights NGOs (DNGOs) in the United States, Britain and Germany use (or mobilise) law to enforce human rights standards and proposes a method to measure their effectiveness in doing so. To do this it draws upon both case studies and literature from many disciplines. On the basis of the data and the literature it finds that, despite their great diversity, DNGOs in each jurisdiction show general similarities in their ???styles??? of operation and use of the law. It also finds that their effectiveness in enforcing human rights can be ascertained with reasonable accuracy and that a DNGO???s size and access to resources does not necessarily correlate with its effectiveness. The context in which the above questions were investigated was one in which there existed very little literature that examined the work of DNGOs (as opposed to international NGOs) as well as few theoretical approaches that would allow their activities to be critically examined and compared. It was also a context in which there was a great deal of discussion in the literature about the crucial importance of DNGOs in human rights enforcement and a growing suspicion that Globalisation might be making their role even more important than it was in the past. To address these issues the author used case studies to supply the necessary detail and a method using ???ideal types??? to assess the data. He also proposed a method to measure DNGO effectiveness so that the case studies could be more thoroughly compared and their true success in human rights enforcement revealed. Despite the incredible diversity among DNGOs the author was able to draw a few useful conclusions about how successful DNGOs operate. In response to these conclusions the author proposed that one possible route by which DNGOs could improve their effectiveness was to transplant their characteristics between jurisdictions. The author also found some evidence that Globalisation was having an effect on DNGOs and proposed some ways in which individual case studies could take advantage of this.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho consiste em analisar a legalidade da exibição pública da obra audiovisual cinematográfica, sem autorização ou pagamento aos titulares, em razão do direito fundamental de acesso à cultura. Faz-se necessário, para tal, verificar o conteúdo e identificar os efeitos dos direitos culturais, tanto no que se refere às políticas públicas de cultura quanto em face das relações inter-privadas. Preliminarmente, discutem-se os conceitos de culturas e suas aplicações no entendimento da sociedade contemporânea. São igualmente apontadas as fontes normativas dos direitos culturais no plano nacional e internacional. Questionam-se, do mesmo modo, os limites ao exercício patrimonial dos direitos autorais que, ao indicar suas bases constitucionais, aponta para a obrigatória extensividade da interpretação dos limites estabelecidos na legislação ordinária especial, em razão dos próprios direitos fundamentais. No desenvolvimento do trabalho, busca-se integrar os dados e reflexões sociais com o exame jurisprudencial e crítica doutrinária. Utilizam-se, complementariamente, os métodos de abordagem hipotético-dedutivos e indutivos, além do método de procedimento funcionalista. A ponderação entre o direito de acesso à cultura e o exercício dos direitos patrimoniais autorais é necessária para solucionar o aparente conflito entre estes direitos. O direito fundamental de acesso à cultura somente pode sofrer restrições que não se contraponham às suas finalidades. As limitações impostas aos direitos autorais devem ser condizentes com a regra dos três passos. As conclusões, que são resultado da ponderação entre os direitos patrimoniais do autor e de acesso à cultura, apontam para a existência de condições que permitem o equilíbrio destas posições jurídicas, preservando, ao máximo, seus respectivos conteúdos. Desta forma, conclui-se que as obras audiovisuais cinematográficas podem, de acordo com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, ser publicamente exibidas, sem necessidade de autorização prévia ou remuneração, desde que em caráter não-patrimonial e com o objetivo principal de efetivação dos direitos fundamental de acesso à cultura.The present work consists of examining the legality of the public exhibition of a film, without authorization or payment to the right holders, on the basis that its exhibition is a fundamental right of access to culture. Accordingly it is necessary to verify the contents and identify the effects of the cultural rights, both in regard to public cultural policy and in the context of inter-private relationships. Preliminary, the concepts of cultures and its applications to the understanding of contemporary society will be explored. Next, the normative sources of cultural rights at the national and international levels are considered. Thus, the limits of the exercise of authors economic rights are questioned particularly when the constitutional basis of these fundamental rights point to the extensiveness of the interpretation of the limitations of the copyright legislation. In so doing the thesis seeks to integrate social data with the examination of case-law and critical discussions of the doctrine. Complementarily, it uses the hypothetical-deductive and inductive methods of approach, and the functionalist method of procedure. The balance between the right of access to culture and the exercise of authors economic rights is required to resolve the apparent conflict between these rights. The fundamental right of access to culture can only be restricted in situations that do not conflict with its purposes. The limitations to copyright should be consistent with the three steps rule'. The findings, which are the result of the balance between authors patrimonial rights and the cultural right of access, point to the existence of conditions that allow for equilibrium between these legal positions, while at the same time preserving its core content. Thus, it concludes that the feature films, in accordance with Brazilian legal system, may be publicly displayed without prior authorization or remuneration, provided that their public exhibition is on a non-patrimonial basis and for the primary purpose of applying the fundamental right of access to culture.

Resumo: Esta tese investiga a participação da sociedade civil na discussão das políticas de segurança e prevenção da violência em São Paulo. Através da pesquisa de campo em bairros socialmente distintos - Sapopemba, Zona Leste e Campo Belo, Zona Sul -, o trabalho discute as narrativas da violência entre os moradores, suas opiniões sobre os (assim considerados) ?agentes da insegurança? e as possíveis soluções para resolver os problemas. O universo empírico central são os Conselhos Comunitários de Segurança, onde policiais, representantes das prefeituras, ?moradores comuns?, líderes de associações de bairros e entidades de defesa dos direitos reúnem-se para falar sobre seus problemas locais. No conflito multifacetado de narrativas destacam-se mudanças relacionadas à linguagem dos direitos e as bases desiguais do debate - estereótipos feitos pelos critérios de classe, gênero, etnicidade, idade e, às vezes, religião. No intuito de contribuir para uma discussão mais ampla dos obstáculos institucionais e simbólicos na elaboração de políticas, a pesquisa acompanhou favelas que foram objeto de operações policias (Operação Saturação) e os encontros da Comissão Independente e Mista, formada em caráter extraordinário para investigar as mortes que se sucederam aos ataques da facção Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) em maio de 2006.
Abstract: This dissertation investigates civil society participation in debates on public security and violence prevention in São Paulo. Through fieldwork in two socioeconomically distinct neighborhoods - Sapopemba and Campo Belo - I seek to understand citizens' narratives of violence and their opinions about the (so called) ?perpetrators? and the possible solutions to solve the problems. The principal site of fieldwork were the Local Security Councils in which policemen, municipal officials, ordinary people, community leaders and human rights organizations get together to talk about local problems. In this multifaceted conflict of narratives, I highlight changes in the language of rights employed in, and the inequalities that underlie the debate - stereotypes of class, gender, ethnicity, age, and sometimes religion. To contribute to a wider discussion about the institutional and symbolic obstacles to establish a public prevention policy, I also did fieldwork in favelas targeted for police operations (Operação Saturação) and at the meetings of the Joint Independent Commission (Comissão Independente e Mista), an ad-hoc body charged with investigating the murders that followed the May 2006 wave of attacks perpetrated by the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) faction.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the level of involvement of school social workers in the 504-Plan process as it relates to the administrative culture of school administrators, collaboration with school personnel, training on the 504-Plan process, and finally knowledge of Section 504. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder affects over six-million children in the world today that may benefit from the use of a 504-Plan.
A total of 147 school social workers participated in this study. A self-administered survey was used, and data analysis was conducted on two levels: descriptive which employed frequency and percent distributions of respondents and analytical procedures. The Kruskal-Wallis H test utilized for this study which indicated a statistically significant relationship which rejected the null hypotheses of all four research questions. A second test was then performed, Mann Whitney U test, to determine where the significance of the hypotheses lied.
Findings revealed that overall there is a low level of involvement of school social workers in the 504-Plan process of 64.8%. Twenty-nine and a third percent reported a moderate level of involvement. There was a low to moderate level of administrative culture, moderate level of collaboration, training and knowledge among the school social workers.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att söka förstå och identifiera barnombudens specifika kunskaper och erfarenheter för att kunna föra en konstruktiv diskussion kring vad detta kan tillföra andra yrkesgrupper som möter barn och unga. Detta genom att undersöka hur barnombud arbetar för att stärka barns rättigheter samt barnombudens reflektioner kring och erfarenheter av detta arbete. Studien baseras på intervjuer med barnombud i civila organisationer som företräder barn i kontakt med sociala välfärdsinstitutioner. Utifrån begrepp som advocacy (företrädarskap) och empowerment samt Harts (1992) delaktighetsstege har intervjuerna tolkats och analyserats. Barnombuden berättar om myndigheter som har svårt att göra barn delaktiga i beslut som rör dem samt om barn och unga som inte får sina rättigheter tillgodosedda. Barnombudens arbete handlar till stor del om att göra barn delaktiga. Detta sker genom att lyssna och skapa tillitsfulla relationer vilket barnombuden menar är en förutsättning för att kunna företräda. Detta relationsarbete kan ses som en del av en empowermentprocess som bidrar till ett ökat självförtroende hos barnen. Barnombuden upplever att det bidrar till att barn inser att deras upplevelser och åsikter betyder något. Barnombuden stärker barns delaktighet i myndighetsprocesser bland annat genom att vara en bro mellan barn och myndigheter där en viktig del är att göra myndighetsinformationen begriplig för barn och unga. Genom barnombudens arbete får barnen även en ökad kunskap och förståelse för sina rättigheter. En av slutsatserna är att även till synes små insatser, som att lyssna och tro på barn och ungas berättelser kan göra stora skillnader för barn och unga. En annan är att det finns en stor efterfrågan på barnombudens arbete som inte motsvarar de befintliga resurserna. Att barnkonvention blir svensk lag kommer sannolikt ha betydelse för barnombudens framtida arbete. Flera av barnombuden menar dock att det behövs mer än att barnkonventionen blir lag för att barns rättigheter ska kunna tillgodoses.This qualitative study aims to understand and identify the children's right workers - advocates - specific knowledge and experiences in order to be able to contribute a creative discussion about what this can bring to other professional groups working with children and young people. This is done by examining how children advocates work to strengthen children's rights as well as their reflections on and experiences of this work. The study is based on interviews with advocates in non-profit organizations representing children in contact with social welfare institutions. The interviews have been analyzed by applying concepts and theories such as advocacy, empowerment and Roger Hart's Ladder of Participation. The advocates tell about authorities having difficulties making children involved in decisions concerning them, and about children and young people who are denied their rights. A vital part of the work of the advocates is about making children involved in decisions that affect their own lives. This is achieved by listening and creating relationships based on trust, which according to the advocates is a prerequisite for advocacy. The work with relationships can be seen as a part of a process of empowerment that gives children increased self-confidence. It also helps the children realize that their experiences and opinions matter. The advocates strengthen children's participation in authority decisions by being a link between children and the authorities. An important part is to make the information from the authorities understandable. Through the advocacy, the children also increase their knowledge and understanding of their rights. One conclusion is that even seemingly small efforts, such as listening and believing in their stories, can make big differences for the children. Another conclusion is that there is a large gap between existing resources and the need for the advocates’ work. The fact that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child becomes law in Sweden, will probably be of importance for the future work of the advocates. Several of the advocates claim that more must be done to ensure that children's rights are met.

Full textAbstract:
L’entreprise naît en Droit d'un alliage complexe de notions juridiques (le contrat de travail, la personnalité morale, la représentation collective des travailleurs, etc...). L'ordonnancement systématique de celles-ci s'impose pour percevoir la cohérence de l'organisation juridique de celle-là. Des lignes de force se dégagent. Le contrat de travail oppose deux parties aux intérêts antagonistes. Mais la libération de la force de travail du salarié, partie de sa personne, et la pérennisation du lien contractuel les obligent à coopérer. Ce mouvement est renforcé par certains mécanismes étrangers à la nature du contrat de travail. Sont organisés le partage du contrôle de l’entreprise (lequel suppose d’assurer la représentation collective des travailleurs) et celui de ses utilités. Les salariés deviennent alors des quasi-associés. L'organisation juridique de l'entreprise n'est toutefois pas figée par le dogme. Des idéologies concurrentes en façonnent les contours. Certaines s'attachent aux fins. L'entreprise est alternativement mise au service de l'emploi et de l'activité d'entreprendre. D'autres s'intéressent aux moyens. Juristes et économistes prétendent à l'organisation scientifique de l'entrepriseIn Law, the firm is the result of a complex amalgam of legal concepts (employment contract, legal personality, collective representation of workers, etc.). The systematic ordering of these ones is needed to perceive the coherence of the legal organization of that one. Guidelines emerge. Employment contract is the meeting of two parties whose interests are antagonists. But the release of the labor force of the employee, part of his person , and the sustainability of the contract require them to cooperate. This trend is reinforced by some mechanisms non implied by the nature of the employment contract. Are shared the control of the company (which involves the collective representation of workers) and of its benefits. Employees then become nearly considered as the stockholders are. The legal structure of the firm , however, is not fixed by dogma. Competing ideologies are shaping it. Some focus on purposes. The company is alternately used as a means for employment and for the will of the enterpreneur. Others focus on methods. Lawyers and economists try to organize the firm scientifically

Since the system of industrial agriculture first emerged in mid-nineteenth century California, farm workers have been among the lowest-paid and ill treated workers in America’s labor force. Racism, nativism, and the entrenched political power of large-scale growers have combined to ensure that the predominantly non-white, largely foreign-born farm labor force has had little voice in the workplace. The United Farm Worker movement of the 1960s and the 1970s was the largest and most successful effort to alter the dynamics of farm worker power in the United States, giving farm workers greater autonomy in the workplace and resulting in concrete gains in terms of wages and working conditions. The UFW’s efforts culminated in the 1975 passage of California’s Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA), the nation’s first ever law to guarantee farm workers the right to collectively bargain and form unions.
But with the passage of the ALRA, the dynamics of power in farm labor relations changed once again; the future of the union would depend upon its ability to adapt to these new realities.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation looks at how teachers, unionists, and cultural workers used black history to offer new ways of thinking about racial knowledge from a local level. Numerous efforts to promote and teach this history demonstrated how dissident cosmopolitan political currents from previous decades remained relevant to a vibrant and ideologically diffuse African American public sphere despite widespread Cold War dispersions, white supremacist reactions, and anticommunist repressions.
My argument proceeds by demonstrating how these public history projects coalesced around a series of connected pedagogical endeavors. These endeavors included the work of school teachers on Chicago's South side who tried to advance curriculum reforms through World War II and afterwards, the work of packinghouse workers and other union-focused educators who used anti-discrimination campaigns to teach about the history of African Americans and Mexican Americans in the labor movement and to advance innovative models for worker education, and the activities of important cultural workers like Margaret and Charles Burroughs who politicized urban space and fought for greater recognition of black history in the public sphere through the advancement of their vision for a museum.
Collectively, these projects expressed important ideas about race, citizenship, education and intellectual labors that engaged closely with the rapidly shifting terrains of mid-20th Century civil rights and international anti-colonialisms. Ultimately, this dissertation offers a social history about how cosmopolitan cultural work in public history and similar forms of knowledge production were at the intersections of political realities and lived experience in U.S. urban life.

Murray, Laura Rebecca. "Not Fooling Around: The Politics of Sex Worker Activism in Brazil." Thesis, 2015. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8TQ60PZ.
Full textAbstract:
Brazil was once a model country in terms of government support for sex worker rights organizations and its solidarity based approach to HIV prevention. In the early 2010s, however, political setbacks in these areas raised important questions regarding the limits of state sanctioned activism.
Using the extended case method approach, I conducted an ethnography of sex worker activism and the complex bureaucratic field in which this advocacy took place. I explored the following questions: What motivates the state to defend sex workers in some contexts and not in others? Why and how do sex worker organizations attract or deflect the state’s attention? What are the most effective and sustainable forms of activism? What can be learned about state and civil society relationships more broadly through the lens of Brazil’s sex worker movement?
I conducted field work over a thirty-six month period from November 2011 through October 2014 in three Brazilian cities: Corumbá, Belém and Rio de Janeiro. Research included archival research, participant observation, twenty-one life histories with activists at three sex worker rights organizations and forty-four in-depth interviews with members of government, social service agencies, NGOs, and security officials (i.e. police) who regularly interacted with sex workers.
My results suggest that the difficulties sex worker activists faced are related to a broader pattern of how the Brazilian state has historically structured its relationship to prostitution. I argue that state action and inaction in prostitution contexts is purposefully ambiguous and flexible. This allows state actors, through their diverse and non-unified mechanisms, the autonomy to shape the inclusion/exclusion of sex workers into government policies and programs that align with current sexuality politics and neoliberal agendas.
I conclude that sex worker activists produced new meanings of prostitution and activism through what I term “puta politics.” By using the body and cultural forms as sites of resistance, they celebrated and made visible what is commonly perceived of as transgressive and/or immoral. In doing so, sex worker activists challenged gender and sexuality norms and disrupted hierarchies and divisions between institutional structures and the street. Such activism permitted several of the organizations at the center of my research to survive, though not unscathed, the deleterious effects of institutionalization and bureaucratization.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the developmental process and implementation effectiveness of global education teaching program for elementary school senior students – “730 Days in Taiwan – Labor Rights of Social Welfare Foreign Workers.” This is an action research where grade-6 elementary students were selected as the subjects to participate in the 18-course teaching program. The data were collected for analysis using methods such as tests, interviews, literature review, and teaching reflection log. According to the research results, the following three conclusions are proposed: 1.The three design elements of the teaching program “730 Days in Taiwan – Labor Rights of Social Welfare Foreign Workers” (1)The objective of this teaching program was established based on three aspects, knowledge, skills (attitude), and participation of “Global Issues, Problems, and Challenges” established by American Forum for Global Education (AFGE). (2)The framework of this teaching program was developed based on the design model of civic action approach program. In addition, the teaching process was divided into three aspects: “awareness and caring,” “exploration and empowerment,” and “civic action.” (3)The seven important meanings of foreign worker labor right education were summarized based on “the International Covenants on Human Rights,” “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” and “conventions promulgated by international labor organizations,” including “everyone is equal, no one shall be held in slavery or servitude, salary protection, periodic holidays with pay, right to assembly, medical and health protection, and freedom of thought, religion, and speech,” as the meanings of this teaching program. 2.Teaching difficulties faced by the researcher and countermeasures (1)The researcher did not fully understand foreign worker-related policies and human right issues, and thus, participated in civic education seminars and lectures of human rights of foreign workers to increase personal understanding of foreign worker-related policies and human right issues. (2)There was a lack of information on the living status of foreign workers in Taiwan. Therefore, the researcher observed and took photographs of work/off-work status of foreign workers on streets, in order to enable students to understand their living status in Taiwan through actual pictures. (3)Because foreign worker human right organizations could not attend the class to hold a forum, the researcher invited Vietnamese foreign spouse instead to hold a forum and describe the unequal treatment and cultural differences they faced at work in Taiwan. (4)The students did not actively participate in class discussion. Therefore, the researcher encouraged them to participate in discussion by holding competitions and giving verbal compliments. 3.The learning effectiveness of the teaching program “730 Days in Taiwan – Labor Rights of Social Welfare Foreign Workers” This teaching program could increase students’ knowledge, skills (attitude), and participation in actions concerning “Being Friendly and Caring for Human Rights of Foreign Workers in Taiwan.” 4. Growth and reflection of the researcher during the teaching process (1) The researcher experienced professional empowerment on global education and development of instructional project. (2) During the teaching course of labor rights, it is necessary to investigate foreign worker human right issues with empathy. (3) To understand the importance of civic action and to aggressively implement it based on the exchange and sharing of foreign labor right forum. (4) It is necessary to be friendly and caring for foreign workers in Taiwan. Based on the aforementioned research findings, several suggestions were proposed for teaching practice of teachers and future studies.

Full textAbstract:
I began this project with the question of how today's social justice activists might find a useable history in a massively influential text like Eyes on the Prize. Thus, the broad question that motivated this rhetorical inquiry was: what means are available to people interested in social change, but whose access to the resources to influence society is limited? One important resource that oppressed peoples can lay claim to is a shared sense of the past. Through a critical analysis of Eyes on the Prize, this dissertation examines shared memory as a resource for rhetorical production. I am interested not only in how the past is re-presented in the documentary, but also what resources the documentary provides its audience to consider and take action for social change. The films present memories that complicate or run counter to the dominant narrative of the black freedom struggle and thereby make available a reservoir of rhetoric power for a political present. My analysis suggests that Eyes on the Prize does not contradict public memory's dominant values of the black freedom struggle, but it does resist their blind adherence. The documentary does not force viewers to take sides on divisive issues like separation/integration or violence/nonviolence. Instead it allows them to realize that these concepts are dialectical. These are, in my estimation, productive tensions. Eyes on the Prize is an excellent pedagogical tool for producing citizen activists. Although activism gives way to electoralism by the end of the documentary, activism is portrayed positively in the documentary. There are certainly costs to activism, as some activists experienced in the most extreme way. However, the heroes of Eyes on the Prize are certainly the activists. In an analysis of a text's rhetorical potential, it is also necessary to acknowledge how the text limits rhetorical possibility. Significantly, Eyes on the Prize inadequately addresses the importance of class in the black freedom struggle. The lacuna of class in the documentary neglects fundamental changes in the goals and tactics of the black freedom struggle and limits the material and psychological structures that maintain racism.text

The limited success of HIV-testing facilities in South Africa means that many
people are not accessing necessary antiretroviral treatment services. This
study investigates the practical implications of HIV exceptionalism inherent in
Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT). A semi-structured interview
schedule was used to survey participants for their perspectives on barriers to
HIV-testing uptake as well as the effects of exceptionalist practices at VCT
clinics. Responses showed marked perceptions of gender differences in
people's willingness to test and several important barriers including problems
of access to services. Significantly, exceptionalism displayed in certain clinic
procedures was thought to contribute to stigma, and attempts to normalise
HIV practice in order to combat the effects of stigma were being informally
implemented. Participants' views on routine opt-out testing were explored.
The researcher recommended further investigation on how HIV testing and
treatment policies can be normalised so as to reduce stigma and increase
testing uptake.Social Work
