Sun, Jue, and 孙珏. "Falling in and out of the cosmopolitan romance: state, market, and the making of Shanghainese women'sromantic love experiences." Thesis, The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong), 2012. http://hub.hku.hk/bib/B4784937X.
Full textAbstract:
Shanghai is often regarded as China’s best embodiment of cosmopolitanism,
transcending the local through the purchase of global goods that, in turn,
allows its citizens to be part of a post-socialist world. This aspiring outlook of
Shanghai is often the result of larger institutional changes, such as the move to
a market economy and China’s entry into WTO. Crucial to the understanding
of how this state-mediated cosmopolitan culture came to have an impact on
the lives of individuals, the key patterns in romantic experiences of young
Shanghainese women are discussed in elaborate detail in this thesis. In
particular, this study focuses on two specific forces, namely the state and the
market, that have greatly shaped the romantic context of cosmopolitan
Shanghai. As such, this thesis seeks to answer three key questions: 1) Is it
possible that the Chinese state has (re)structured contemporary Shanghainese
women’s romantic experiences and, if so, in what ways? 2) Do current
findings on the role of the consumer market in shaping romantic practices also
apply within the context under study? 3) In what ways have Shanghainese
women played out their love lives in the current context?
Building a theoretical framework from state-role theory which emphasizes the
role of the Chinese state in initiating life-altering social transformations and
theory that relates romantic love to the consumer culture and the social
organization of advanced capitalism, this thesis asserts that the romantic
experiences of young Shanghainese women both mirror and extend the
fundamental arguments framing both theories, thus offering new levels of
complexity for examining the relationship between romantic love and culture.
Through an open-ended interview process following grounded theory
principles, 44 respondents (age 25-39) are asked questions regarding their
romantic experiences to provide key details from the context under study. The
findings of this study suggest that the state and the state-mediated consumer
culture has produced contradictions in the romantic experiences of young
Shanghainese women. While as cosmopolitan individuals young women are
supposed to be desirous and constraint-free in pursuit of their romantic ideals,
persistent class and gender hierarchies, and rising economic and emotional
uncertainties, nevertheless, undercut their freedom and many of the incentives
to realize these ideals. Such freedom is further undercut by mounting pressure
from their parents who are primarily dependent on their only daughters, as a
result of the family-planning policy and other shifting state policies in the past,
for long-term financial and emotional care amidst rising costs and barely
functional social welfare programs. Caught in a tension between self desires
and traditional role obligations, young women become rational actors in their
romantic experiences as they negotiate or even transform the conventionalities
by lurching between different understandings of love and varying moralities of
self and family to justify their motives and behaviors. As such, their romantic
experiences embody the market ethos of consumer capitalism—rational, selfinterested,
strategic, and profit-maximizing––complexly entangled in a
material and moral environment built by the socialist state.published_or_final_version

Numerosas investigaciones han demostrado la existencia en nuestras sociedades de un Discurso Coercitivo Dominante (DCD) que, a través del proceso de socialización, refuerza el vínculo entre atracción y violencia. Impuesto a través de programas de televisión, canciones, medios de comunicación social o interacciones entre iguales, entre otros, este discurso socializa a muchos y muchas jóvenes en el desarrollo de sentimientos de atracción y deseo hacia personas con actitudes y comportamientos violentos. Sin embargo, aunque el placer se identifique como una de las principales motivaciones a la hora de establecer relaciones sexuales, la investigación aún no ha explorado el vínculo que existe entre el DCD y el placer.
A partir de estas evidencias, el objetivo principal de la tesis que aquí se presenta es aportar nuevos conocimientos al estudio del placer en las relaciones afectivo-sexuales desde una perspectiva sociológica. Pretende proporcionar a los y las jóvenes más evidencias científicas que les permitan desenmascarar los mitos de las relaciones coercitivas, para que puedan elegir libremente las relaciones que quieren tener, en línea con la socialización preventiva de la violencia de género. Para ello, se han realizado seis investigaciones diferentes. Dos de ellas incluyen revisiones bibliográficas, mientras que las otras cuatro se basan en investigaciones empíricas.
Entre estas últimas, una de ellas presenta una aportación metodológica. Los resultados obtenidos aportan nuevos conocimientos sobre el impacto del DCD y la socialización preventiva de la violencia de género. Se presentan las características de las relaciones sexuales que mantienen las chicas y mujeres jóvenes, así como la vivencia del placer asociada a cada una de ellas. Finalmente, también se exponen las acciones transformadoras que permiten la superación y el rechazo del DCD en relación con el placer. Todos estos resultados aportan nuevas evidencias para que las relaciones basadas en la libertad sean una posibilidad para todos y todas.

Full textAbstract:
Falling in love, for many individuals, begins with an inescapable, uncontrollable, transformative experience of intense emotions and intrusive thoughts; one phenomenon from the literature is the extreme love experience, limerence. Romantic love researchers have tended to lump extreme love phenomena into the limerence model viewed as pathology. Transpersonal psychology was chosen as the lens to examine an extreme occurrence of falling in love for its positive, transformational, and spiritual potential using a phenomenological approach. There were 25 U.S. born participants, age 30 and older, recruited from the internet who reported experiencing a very intense and very significant romantic love occurrence. Data from semi-structured interviews were thematically analyzed for emergent information, and then the data were compared to potential explanatory models including limerence, spiritual emergency, biopsychosocial, and passionate romantic love. The results revealed a unique experience unlike limerence and with limited correlations to the biopsychosocial model. The new phenomenon is called amigeist, characterized by immediate, intense soul-mate bonding, such as secure attachment with lifepartner potential. The larger themes were dynamic connection, intense emotions, astonishment, new behaviors, and passionate long-term relationships.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBrand love has become an increasingly interesting area of research for academics and marketing practitioners alike, as it has shown to drive consumer behaviours such as brand loyalty, positive word-of-mouth and negative information resistance (Batra et al., 2012). However, the focus has primarily been on brand love as a concept and how it drives consumer behaviour from a company perspective, and to a lesser extent on the antecedent pathways that lead to it from a consumer perspective. Based on extant research concerning brand love and its antecedents, this study tries to shed more light on the pathways that lead to brand love out of a consumer perspective. This study builds on extant research in brand love by connecting a brand love prototype model (ibid.), with anthropomorphism as an additional antecedent (Rauschnabel & Ahuvia, 2014), and attempts to extend earlier findings regarding the antecedents of brand love by describing how the antecedents form a pathway to brand love as seen out of a consumer’s point of view. The research was carried out by the use of a deductive, qualitative approach and thematical analysis. The data collection was done through the use of unstructured interviews. This study finds that the pathways to brand love can vary and be triggered from different angles, but that the key factors to brand love are anthropomorphism of the brand and integration of the brand into the self. This research is limited by the fact that the pathways are described through the use of a thematical analysis and that the respondents were selected as a result of a convenience selection. It would therefore be prudent to test the findings with a quantitative method and also to extend the number of respondents. This study is the first to qualitatively investigate the pathways between the antecedents of brand love out of a consumer perspective and will contribute to brand love literature by providing new insight into the antecedent pathways of brand love.

Willmets, Simon. "Falling out with history : Hollywood and the Central Intelligence Agency, 1945 - 1975." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/47074/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the representation of the Central Intelligence Agency and its predecessor the Office of Strategic Services in Hollywood cinema from 1945-1975. It argues that the development of these cinematic representations over time has articulated a growing scepticism towards "official" narratives of the past that regard the state as the arbiter of historical authenticity. This scepticism towards state-sourced history is a consequence of increasing US government secrecy. In other words, secrecy fundamentally problematizes state-sourced approaches to historical representation, which rely on the state as an authoritative, trustworthy and relatively transparent producer of the documentary record. The epistemological problem of representing secret institutions is referred to here as the "paradox of secrecy" for historical representation. It is argued that Hollywood’s shift away from state-sourced representations of the CIA is a consequence of this paradox. This thesis is influenced by Hayden White's notion that a given form of historical representation is inherently ideological and even specifically political in its ramifications. In this sense, it is argued that the political content of the films examined here are very much a product of their approach to historical representation itself. This thesis identifies four dominant forms of the American spy film during this period. The first, which was dominant from roughly 1945 up until 1959, was the "semi-documentary". This form of spy thriller celebrated the centrality of the state as the arbiter of historical authenticity and relied upon extensive liaison between filmmakers and government. In chapter 1-3, this thesis traces the rise and fall of the semi-documentary and its ultimately frustrated attempts to represent the CIA. Chapter 4 examines the second dominant form of the spy thriller: the romantic fable. This form, epitomized by James Bond, represents an ironic "camp" reaction to state-sourced approaches to historical representation. Chapter 5 provides a detailed analysis of Alfred Hitchcock’s trilogy of Cold War spy films. It argues that Hitchcock moved away from the camp fable towards the third dominant form: realism. This form, epitomized by the novels of John Le Carré, began a move away from the playful irony of the camp spy fables and offered a far more skeptical and politicized critique of the state and Cold War espionage as Machiavellian in nature. This scepticism towards the state paved the way for the fourth dominant form of the spy film: the conspiracy thriller, which is examined in chapter 6. The 1970s conspiracy thriller represents the precise opposite of the semi-documentary in that it regards the state and state secrecy as the primary obstacle to historical veracity and authenticity. By asserting the possibility of recovering "historical truth" from the miasma of state secrecy, however, the conspiracy narrative moves away from the irony of 1960s spy cinema and articulates the possibility of the redemption of the past. This diachronic transformation of the American spy thriller from the semi-documentary to the conspiracy thriller traces the broader cultural process of growing distrust in government narratives.

Full textAbstract:
The realm of aircraft flight dynamics analysis reaches from local static stability to global dynamic behavior. It includes aircraft performance issues as well as structural concerns. In the particular aspect of dynamic motions of an aircraft and how we understand them, an alternate coordinate system will be introduced that will lend insight and simplification into the understanding of these dynamic motions. The main contribution of this coordinate system is that one can easily visualize how the instantaneous velocity vector relates to the instantaneous rotation vector, the angular rate vector of the aircraft. The out-of-control motion known as the Falling Leaf will be considered under the light of this new coordinate system. This motion is not well understood and can lead to loss of the aircraft and crew. Design guidelines will be presented to predict amplitude and frequency of the Falling Leaf.

A dissertação Sobre a Obrigatoriedade do Amor Materno: um estudo com mulheres que optaram por não ter filhos é resultado de questionamentos da autora quanto à formação dos vínculos afetivos na relação da mãe com seu rebento. Nos últimos dois séculos, o amor materno foi atribuído à mulher como uma resposta intrínseca – própria do gênero feminino – e significado com base em comportamentos que toda boa mãe deveria apresentar. Contudo, até o século XVIII, a relação entre mãe e filhos não se assemelhava com a que concebemos hoje, desconstruindo a ideia de um modelo padronizado de amor. Realizar uma pesquisa com mulheres que optaram por não ter filhos teve por objetivo investigar os sentimentos e as razões que fizeram com que tomassem essa decisão. Com base no Método de Explicitação do Discurso Subjacente (MEDS), de natureza qualitativa, foi realizada uma pesquisa com dez mulheres de classe média, sem filhos, na faixa etária de 34 a 56 anos, moradoras da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. De acordo com os resultados, pudemos perceber que a escolha pela não maternidade não foi tão simples para as entrevistadas, sendo permeada por pressões sociais e pela ambivalência, causando dúvidas e, em alguns casos, sofrimento. Ao final, concluímos que os projetos de vida e a busca por realização e satisfação pessoal foram determinantes para que as entrevistadas escolhessem não serem mães.
The dissertation On the Obligation of Maternal Love: a study on women who opted out of having children is the result of the author’s research on the formation of emotional bonds in the mother s relationship with their offspring. For the last two centuries, maternal love has been assigned to women as an intrinsic response - specific to female gender - and has been conceived as behaviors that every good mother should have. However, until the eighteenth century, the relationship between mother and children did not resemble what we now understand it, deconstructing the idea of a standardized model of love. Conducting a survey on women who chose not to have children sought to investigate the feelings and the reasons that made them take that decision. Based on the Underlying Discourse Unveiling Method (UDUM), of qualitative nature, a survey was conducted with ten middle-class women, without children, between the ages of 34 and 56 years old, living in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The results indicated that the choice for nonmaternity was not so simple for the respondents, influenced by social pressures and ambivalence, creating doubts and, in some cases, causing pain. At the end, we concluded that life projects and the search for fulfillment and personal satisfaction were crucial for the respondents to opt not to be mothers.

Redcrow, Thoreau. "Shooting out of Love: A Case Study on Kurdish Guerrillas in the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party)." Thesis, NSUWorks, 2017. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/shss_dcar_etd/100.
Full textAbstract:
What leads a person to become an armed guerrilla? This qualitative case study utilizes select elements of a hermeneutic and existential phenomenology—through a lens of Freirean critical theory and transformative research—to investigate the commonalities in the material, psychological, artistic, and spiritual motivations behind Kurdish guerrillas in the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party). Other key elements are the search for an incipient turning point in their early pre-guerrilla lives that placed them on the road to rebellion, and the grounded theory that there exists an ‘Guevarian Archetype’ (derived from Che Guevara) personified by those who are driven to join the PKK. Through an in-depth dissection of Turkey’s historical oppression of Kurds in occupied Northern Kurdistan (southeastern Turkey), and extensive use of direct quotations by those affected, the author hopes to provide practitioners in the discipline of conflict analysis a new holistic template with which to analyze the metastasizing components behind other armed insurgencies. This prism includes comparison of the testament dataset acquired through in-depth focused interviews with 20 veteran PKK guerrillas, against corresponding testimony of their opposition in the Turkish Army, an anecdotal narrative of episodic vignettes, and a literary exegesis of several metaphysical concepts with their own original definitions. Drawing on the ideas of diverse theorists, philosophers, and past revolutionaries, the author hopes to provide a revelatory milieu for exploring the PKK’s governing ideology of democratic confederalism as espoused by imprisoned Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, and the emancipatory avant-garde impulses that counterintuitively lead compassionate guerrillas to defensively kill out of universal love.

Full textAbstract:
Notions of love and sex are rewritten by every era but this essay concerns itself with the period of 1980s and 90s neoliberalism, as seen through the texts that make up the early oeuvre of Bret Easton Ellis, namely 'Less Than Zero', 'The Rules of Attraction', 'The Informers', 'American Psycho' and their film adaptations. I began my research by examining various notions of love, from Plato all the way to the 90s pop culture classic 'Clueless' (dir. Amy Heckerling, 1995), and eventually narrowed my focus to three distinct and opposing theories, which I will describe as romantic love, love as use of erotic capital and sex as liberation, which I found in Alain Badiou's 'In Praise of Love', Catherine Hakim's 'Honey Money' and Wilhelm Reich's 'The Sexual Revolution'. These frameworks were chosen in accordance with my decision to examine love under the specific conditions of neoliberalism, following the study of such theorists as the already mentioned Slavoj Žižek, as well as David Harvey, Renata Salecl and others. It is from this juncture that I began to write a novel that explores love and sex through a layered approach, where meaning is accumulated through structural and stylistic choices as well as plot and character development. It soon became apparent that a writer who examines love in the throes of disintegration as a result of the assault of neoliberalism and whose emphatic use of style to critique this system I drew on most closely was Bret Easton Ellis.

Full textAbstract:
Metaphor is the most widely recognized and discussed type of trope. It has attracted the attention of analysts from various disciplines, e.g. philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and literature. Research from these fields has shown that metaphors are ubiquitous and indispensable in our lives. It is not only literary discourse that is abundant with metaphors, but metaphors are also common in scientific discourse and even in our everyday language. Moreover, research from cognitive linguistics has shown that our thinking is metaphorical to a certain extent. Thus, if metaphors are so ubiquitous in our lives, how do we recognize them? In this paper selected metaphors from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot have been analyzed. These are metaphors from literary discourse; hence, the analysis was partly influenced by the genre and the specific, poetic context. The focus is on linguistic metaphors that can be identified in this poetic text, not on underlying conceptual metaphors. The aim of this paper has been to see how the metaphors in the poem are constructed and how the metaphorical part of the strings they occur in interacts with a seemingly literal part. According to the results of the analysis, the metaphorical constructions in the poem show a variety of modes of interaction among their constituents. Typically the metaphorical part of the poetic construction evokes a complex and directly perceptible phenomenon which serves as the basis for the understanding of the poetic persona’s feelings. Also the metaphors that describe the setting of the poem seem to be projections of the protagonist’s mood. Thus, the affective aspect of the metaphors is essential in the poem since it connects the metaphors to a network of meanings related to a prominent theme of the poem, namely the speaker’s paralysis and insecurity of himself, adding to the expressive complexity of the poem’s structure.

Full textAbstract:
I denna uppsats undersöks habitus påverkan på vilken slags festival människor väljer att besöka och varför. Med dagens stora utbud av festivaler och det nya festivallandskapet som har växt fram de senaste åren finns det något för alla som är intresserade. Syftet är att med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer försöka definiera vad det är som gör en festival intressant för vissa och helt ointressant för andra och hur detta kan kopplas samman med Bourdieus teori om habitus. För att stärka teorin används även två av Bourdieus andra teorier inom det sociologiska fältet, symboliskt kapital och det sociala fältet. Studien har visat att informanternas intresse för musik och för att besöka festivaler startade när de var unga. Med åren har deras habitus förändrats och vad man vill få ut av en festival i vuxen ålder skiljer sig från vad som ansågs viktigt när man var yngre. Tydliga exempel är att man vill sova gott och att man inte vill ”vara fast” på ett festivalområde. Därför har stadsfestivalerna blivit ett alternativ för många. Dock finns det grundläggande syftet till varför man besöker en festival kvar även i vuxen ålder; man vill höra musik och njuta av stämningen. Detta är något som inte är begränsat till vilken festival man besöker utan styrs av smak och sociala grupper. När det finns både campingfestivaler och stadsfestivaler ges individen möjlighet att välja och det finns något för alla som vill besöka festivaler. Uppsatsen ligger inom det musiksociologiska forskningsområdet och tar upp frågor gällande interaktionen mellan personer, deras habitus och deras festivalupplevelser. Tillsammans bildar de ett forskningsområde som inte har berörts tidigare.

Assessment of parenting stress and child acting-out behavior was measured via pretest and posttest over the length of a seven-session parenting program, the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent program (BLLP). All participants (n=86) were randomly placed in either a seven-session BLLP program group (n=56) or placed on a waitlist (n=30) and offered the BLLP program following the completion of the posttest. The BLLP program is a widely used parenting program with limited data available as to the effectiveness of the program. The data that are available utilizes the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent Before and After Questionnaire. A measurement tool designed specifically to measure the BLLP program. This study utilized two measurement tools widely used to evaluate parenting programs, the Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI/SF) and the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI), in hopes of providing data that can be compared to other parenting programs. Levels of parenting stress were measured with a widely used index, the PSI/SF. The PSI/SF provides a Total Stress (TS) score and scores from three scales measuring different aspects of parenting stress: Parental Distress (PD), Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction (P-CDI), and Difficult Child (DC). Child acting-out behavior was measured with the ECBI. The ECBI measures disruptive child behavior using two scales: Intensity scale and a Problem scale. The intensity scale provides information regarding the frequency of certain acting-out behaviors, and the problem scale provides information as to whether or not parents view that particular behavior as problematic. All participants were parents or caregivers of elementary school students from a large suburban school district near Kansas City, Missouri. The group was homogenous in nature and had higher income and education levels than the average for the district and state, making it difficult to generalize finding from the study. Due to time and space limitations and attrition, the sample size of the study was small (n=86), which likely contributed to the outcome of the study. The six hypotheses were not supported in this study. Though a decrease in parenting stress occurred for both treatment group and control group participants, there was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups on any of the PSI/SF scales. Child acting-out behavior also decreased for both the treatment group and the control group; however, there was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Further study on the effectiveness of the BLLP program is recommended.

This thesis mainly focuses on the topic of “Liquid Love”, a modern love that lacks of steady boundary, and the object is the serial work titled “Falling In and Out of Love” Researcher combines related theories and social observation with the creation material “coffee ground” to connect with the possibilities of productions under consuming society and art works, and also using art works to express the uncertainness of “Liquid Love” and the paradox inside human beings and to construct the expressive form of personal painting. The content has five chapters: Chapter 1, Introduction, this chapter focuses on the research motivation, purpose, research scope, method and explanation of nouns, mainly describes how to start from the work I made; Chapter 2, creation context and theoretical foundation, this chapter discusses how consuming society and individualism constructed the regular phenomenon of love chaos and multiple performance of love that modern art presents, and above-mentioned are the basis of creation connotation; Chapter 3, creation concept, this chapter focuses on three sections: One, social phenomena on coffee addicts. Two, the weirdness of choosing explosion. Three, the contradictory needs of freedom and safety. This chapter also seeks for the comparison from the creation forms and content; Chapter 4, creation practice and work interpretation. This chapter describes how these serial works “Eagerness”, “Affection”, and “Uncertainness” are made. “Eagerness” mainly expresses the desire of creating connection with others, “Affection” expresses that love link seems to be free, however, there are hesitation and tangle inside, and “Uncertainness” expresses that under the endless freedom choosing, relationships among human seem to be free and uncertain; Chapter 5, Conclusion. This chapter focuses on the review and reflections, expects to discuss more about the usages of materials and the multiple performance on creation of art works, and finding starting points from future seeking.

Few studies have focused on psychological factors that result in highly skilled immigrant return migration. This research examines the influence of cultural value congruence between home country and host country or the lack thereof, on host country turnover intentions of Asian Indian immigrants in the U.S., both in the immediate and the distant future. The present study is based on the person-environment fit literature with special focus on national cultural value congruence which is seen as essential to immigrants successfully acculturating and deciding to remain in their host country. It was hypothesized that cultural value congruence experienced by immigrants will be related to their host country turnover intentions such that lower congruence with host country cultural values would result in higher host country turnover intentions. The individualism-collectivism scale developed by Triandis and Gelfand (1998) was utilized to measure the horizontal and vertical aspects of individualism and collectivism represented in the immigrants’ home country and host country cultural values. Congruence between these values was calculated using an absolute difference score. A one-shot cross section survey design was utilized to collect data from 153 highly skilled first generation Asian Indian immigrants located throughout the United States. Results confirmed partial support for cultural value congruence and immigrant host country turnover intentions with lower congruence on vertical individualism values resulting in higher immigrant host country turnover intentions in the distant future. No support was found for cultural value congruence on other cultural value subscales – vertical collectivism, horizontal individualism and horizontal collectivism, and host country turnover intentions in the distant future. No support was found for cultural value congruence and host country turnover intentions in the immediate future. In addition, the experience of immigrants in the workplace, specifically perceived workplace discrimination and leader cultural intelligence, were examined for their moderating role in the relationship between cultural value congruence and host country turnover intentions. No support was found for moderator effects of perceived workplace discrimination and leader cultural intelligence as hypothesized in the study. Instead, significant effects were noted for low levels of perceived workplace discrimination on cultural value congruence and host country turnover intentions in the distant future, and high levels of perceived workplace discrimination on cultural value congruence and host country turnover intentions in the immediate future. Significant effects were also noted for low and high leader cultural intelligence on cultural value congruence and immigrant host country turnover intentions in the distant future. The study limitations and directions for future research have also been addressed.

Falling in Love with One-Night Standers: Experiences and Negotiations with Sex/Love Ideologies Abstract Inseparability of love and sex prevails in today's society, and it regulates people’s sexual behaviors. By contrast, in a one-night stand (ONS) relationship the rule of keeping love separate from sex must be strictly followed. The purpose of this study is to investigate how one-night standers deal with the ideologies of sex/love when they fall in love with other one-night standers. Based on the author's in-depth interviews with eight cases, this research discusses the experiences of those ONS players falling in love with other players and their strategies to address the conflict between the ideology of sex and love. The findings of this research are as follows. First of all, the reason why ONS players fall in love with other players is their infatuation for sexual pleasure and intimacy. Secondly, they develop their intimate relationships through the methods of trust-building, multi-dimensional interactions, and caring. Furthermore, the sex/love ideologies cause them the sense of insecurity, and thus it is hard for them to find accountability for their behavior of falling in love with the ONS players. The major solution is to re-adjust their skills in managing the borderline between sex and love. Last but not the least, from the experiences, due to the fact that males and females receive different sexual regulations and educations, the skills in borderline management between sex and love differ significantly between females and males.

This is a story of self-life narrative. At the beginning of October 2019, my thesis professor T suddenly passed away. Suddenly, I was thrown into an absolute situation that must look directly at "death" and could not escape. Those who deliberately were hidden in the heart for many years, about the memories and feelings of the death of their loved ones were forced to dig up... In this journey of self-exploration, it begins with all kinds of doubts about death. Through incarnation as a "time traveler", I meet the past in "inner time", meet with myself, meet others, meet with things, and stare. The feelings at that time, retelling the experience at that time, after a series of stories, I was shocked to find that through some breaks, fragments of memory, we pieced together the unexpected truth. The two main axes I want to express in this paper are "death" and "authority." The seemingly unrelated concepts are closely linked because of the life story I interweave with my father. I became a traveler in the inner time, exploring the existence of my own from a dynamic perspective of the past, present and future. It is not only a statement of experience and concurrent actions in the past, but a self-placement in the context of society, and finally finds the meaning of life and regains identity with the self. This is a process of self-sadness healing, and it also evokes the meaning of new life of "regeneration" ~ love and freedom. At the end of the paper, I try to throw some questions, expect readers to walk into my life story, and also evoke some reflection on my life experience. Keywords:death、regeneration、authority、freedom、love

Whereas people usually believe that, partner and mate selection is a personal issue, in reality, various social factors influence how people choose their partners and mates. In this current research, I argue that, even personal issues such as falling in love, choosing partners, and so forth, are inevitably affected by their situating communities. While people in Taiwan generally believe that “love conquers all” and “people have the freedom to choose whom to love,” the reality is not consistent with this perception. In this research, I apply Brekhus’s social marking theory to explain the “default” situation of partner selection in Taiwanese society. To put it more specifically, “unmarked” means the default category and “marked” represents the non-default category: In my case, the former indicates Taiwanese women who fall in love with Taiwanese men; and the later implies Taiwanese women who get together with western men. According to the default/non-default and unmarked/marked category, people pay more attention to the marked one. Moreover, I notice that, Taiwanese women who fall in love with men from Western societies all too often encounter unfriendly treatment in general and stigmatization in particular. Additionally, under some extreme condition, some people in Taiwan label them as “xenophilia”: It indicates obsession for foreign objects or people. In terms of method and data, I use text and discourse analysis in this research. I not only collect posts and response from CCR forum on PTT as my main data source, but also newspaper articles and posts on the Internet as supplementary sources. Based on my analysis, the assumption is true that people in Taiwan-to some extent do have “default” in terms of partner selection. Taiwanese women who fall in love with men from Western societies are easily classified as “non-default” (and thus marked). And, once being classified as so, these women are aware of “they are treated differently” by others. As a result, they expressed that they usually felt pressure and they therefore adopted certain ways to respond to these differential treatment. Sharing their stories on CCR forum is one of the ways. Moreover, these “non-dault” (and thus marked) —due to their partner-selecting decision—Taiwanese women also paid efforts to resist the “xenophilia” label through ways. According to my analysis, I argue that, this stigmatized-group strategically create a community called “Cross Cultural Romance” to find people who are more likely to identify with them, release emotion, share stories, exchange information, and go against the stigmatization. Moreover, I claim that distinction between default and non-default is a dynamic classification. Once getting marriage, the negative label on them disappear. That is, marriage acts as “rite of passage” which helps them to get rid of the stigamatization.

Full textAbstract:
The field of art education has long recognized the immense potential for both personal and social transformation that can be realized through the practice, teaching and learning of art. In this qualitative study, the personal lived experience of ten former Photojournalism Project participants is investigated using an interdisciplinary conceptual framework. This study is informed by my personal experience as co-founder and photography teacher of the Leave Out Violence (LOVE) Photojournalism Project started in 1995 at Dawson College in Montreal. This after-school project teaches photojournalism to adolescents, many of whom are labeled as being "at-risk," and whose lives have been affected by violence. Engaging in photography and writing, the participants explore and document the issues surrounding violence in their lives and in their community. Drawing on the fields of art education, critical and social pedagogy, adolescent development and qualitative research, the lives of the teens are examined with the goal of understanding how involvement in a community-based arts project can play a significant role in shaping the fragile lives of teens as well shaping the photographs they produce while actively involved in such a project. In order to gather data the methodology combined case study and image-based research methods. A series of three audio-taped interviews were conducted. The first and third interviews focused on the personal lives of the teens. The themes pursued in these interviews centered on family life, community, peer world and school. Participants were asked to recall their lives up to and including their participation in the Photojournalism Project. As well, the issues surrounding whether or not links could be found between media violence and youth violence were also explored. The second interview relied on photo elicitation. The study participants were asked to review their photographs taken during their participation in the LOVE project and to comment on their participation in the project. The photo elicitation technique produced the visual component of the study. Findings to this study reveal that while there may be no quick solutions to the problem of being an "at-risk" youth affected by violence, a community-based project can offer a brief respite, in a safe and secure learning environment that helps to reduce the long-term negative consequences of experiencing violence allowing them to go on and have meaningful lives.

A new beginning enabled from no way out: to be set free from loneliness out of 3 love stories Abstract This is a love story about the researcher herself. Due to being conscious about incessant failure of her love relationship, she aims to cut off the cycle of being dumped through “self-narrative” way. She consolidated her past and her 3 relationships through “self-narrative” process; she found that she was winded by his primary family, education and social norm, and logics of romance fiction and being trapped in self relation. Through conversations with important stakeholders, I began to introduce “cut, disconnect and leave” action strategies different from the past, and looked at the relationships among self, herself and other females, to be released from the past winding, to continue the relationship, and to determine the existence value of herself (female) from the relationship. It is a new beginning for me to let go the past, accept myself and dependably create future of my own when I’ve learnt how to take responsibility, get away from a role of victim and gradually have a clear look on the original form of my loneliness and wish to be released from loneliness via love. In which I expect not only to enable reach to those readers who have similar difficulties but to fulfill self-transformation of their life.

"Falling in love with lover, things, and self" Research on "Object-Self Relationship" in Chou Fen-ling's Essays Abstract Any kinds of creations are the author's sentiment over the external reality; as for object, it involves with both sign of the object as well as sign of man/thing, which ultimately leads to "object-self" connection. For Chou Fen-ling, with the foundation of her real life experiences as a woman, she has deep and lively exploration on her own personality. In this sense, her unique feminine aesthetic reflection has brewed a breakthrough change--the expansion of artistic view-field, gradual transformation of the affection mode, and the spread of consciousness of life. In this paper, from Chou Fen-ling's unique and feminine image as well as life experiences, we aim to see the changes in the realm of her life, and development of affections. As for sign of the object and sign of thing, they are but a kind of media that will ultimately yearn and miss life of self and treasuring one's own feelings. At this point, Chou Fen-ling has made a step further in essay composition, a path developing towards the inner, secret, and mysterious space for our spirit. Chou Fen-ling's depiction of characters penetrates through the whole article, showing the love relationship and affection map in her heart. Under such circumstances, we can further understand the author's thought and character, and sneak through her internal world. In the meantime, through the specific objects under her pen, we can observe her love for life, examine her inner reality, and further discover her falling in love with lover, things, and self is all but what is derived from her lingering care and treasure for life, which ascertains the essay's internal privacy and profound affection.

The Lil’ Bastard’s Guide to Love is a compilation of poems I have written during two years of study in the creative writing program at the University of Texas. These poems mostly concern themselves with love. They also deal with the inadequacies of naming and language, and coming to terms with the fact that sometimes the best thing you can do is to not ruin everything with words. Words will disappoint you sometimes, but they are necessary, so at least try to be square with people if you absolutely must say something. As George Carlin put it, “You can't be afraid of words that speak the truth. I don't like words that hide the truth. I don't like words that conceal reality. I don't like euphemisms or euphemistic language. And American English is loaded with euphemisms.”text

Many researches on Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thought are used to the conceptual framework of binary opposites and separate his ideas into: individual/social, natural human/social human, and individualism/totalitarianism. They even consider that Rousseau’s thought is paradoxical and contradictory. But in fact, “human nature” is Rousseau’s main idea. He believes that all men are born good and passionate. This natural character allows human beings to have the ability of self-perfectibility (self love) and also sympathy (which limits over self-perfectibility). But in modern society, institutions such as private property and tyrannical politics distort the human nature and make human being victim of the sense of vanity. Human beings become hypocrites. This phenomenon causes all the conflicts, wars and jealousy between humans. So, everyone has to weigh things appropriately, and examine one’s own words and behaviors. Then the good of human nature could be manifested. This is what is said ‘let the passion come out as it is.’ Hence, Rousseau expects human beings to build up new freedom under a certain social developing level, which means to make natural people citizens, instead of going back to the “state of nature.”. In order to construct a social contract, Rousseau believes that each citizen have to devote his freedom and rights to sovereign (general will). This contract makes the citizens to have the complete freedom (moral freedom). However, how could the citizen who devotes his freedom and rights feel free? Rousseau finds this possibility in the innate “passionate love”: If human being follows his nature, then he can have the pure love, which includes the related feelings antecedent to reason: self love, compassion, romantic love. This is a kind of feeling which makes human beings more willing to devote himself to his parents, friends, lover and nation voluntarily. Nevertheless, Rousseau especially focuses on the love of romance. It’s the most ideal and purest one in all kinds of love, and it is also the essential condition for marriage. The marriage is further more the basis/ideal of the social contract. In conclusion, human beings only manifest their innate good and freedom in social situations while they are in passionate love.

Full textAbstract:
Realistic group conflict theory (LeVine & Campbell, 1972) posits that people advocate policies that promote their personal and group interests, whereas they resist policies that advance the relative standing of out-group members. Consequently, diversity policies may elicit threat among some employees regarding their group's status, especially during periods when economic resources are scarce. To test the viability of realistic group conflict in an organizational context, both survey (N = 790) and experimental ( N = 108) methodologies were used to explore the influence of economic threat on subsequent acceptance of, or resistance to, organizational diversity policies. As expected, the cross-sectional survey data indicated that the strongest predictor of attitudes toward a typical affirmative action plan was the extent to which respondents thought that the plan would negatively affect the opportunities for success of people similar to them in terms of race and gender. Likewise, an experimental manipulation of economic threat caused participants to be less supportive both of diversity programs and of diverse organizational employees. Furthermore, this effect was often moderated by zero-sum beliefs and social dominance orientation, such that participants low on each of these dispositional traits supported diversity programs more than participants high in these traits in the absence of an economic threat; however, all participants regardless of their score on these individual difference variables were less supportive of diversity policies after being exposed to an economic threat. This research has broad theoretical and practical implications, including helping organizations to recognize, understand, and ultimately reduce discrimination in organizations, particularly during times of economic difficulty.

It is a fact that death cannot be avoided, but one can pursue a good death when it happens. By having the “Four Principles of Life” gratitude, forgiveness, love and saying goodbye, the patient and their family may feel more peaceful when going through this experience. Patients may die with dignity while family members alleviate the suffering in grief. The purpose of this study was to explore the current context and influence factors of the “Four Principles of Life” among family members in a hospice unit. By using purposive sampling, the questionnaires, and the semi-structured interviews, the research study was conducted in a medical center of Taiwan. The data were analyzed by the SPSS and content analysis methods. A total of 33 questionnaires were collected, and 18 participants completed the interview. It was found that people's “willingness” to the Four Principles of Life from high to low was showing gratitudes, express love, giving apologies, and saying goodbye. The actual frequency to carry out the Four principles of life was showing gratitudes（34.5%）, express love（28.6%）, giving apologies（25.0%）, and then saying goodbye（9.5%）. Also, there were factors that influenced people on the Four Principles of Life, including female（p =0.01), not the medical decision makers（p = 0.03）, and patients were not the main income source in the family（p =0.01）. Two major themes were found from the qualitative data. One was “complete life with no regrets” with five categories of “cherish the present”, “instant expression”, “emotional catalyst”, “relationship fusion”, and “multiple ways of the Four Principles of Life”. The other was "the barriers to express love" with three categories of “the expression of love is nonverbal”, “religious beliefs”, and “the binding of proper socialization”. The families of the terminally-ill patients thought that the Four Principles of Life were important and were willing to embrace the principles. However, they did admit that it was difficult to actually implement the principles. Therefor, it was recommended that the four principles be used to guide the development of courses for healthcare professionals in order to help the patients and their families in the end-of-life care.

Why are so many girls becoming pregnant in Brownsville, Texas? I encountered this question as a result of my field work. Teachers, school administrators, community officials, parents, and even students pose this question as part of a local concern over the high birth rate among Brownsville youth. As a response to this concern, I engage with this overarching research question by exploring the sex lives and romantic experiences of young mothering teens in Brownsville, through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. However, as part of a larger mission of problematizing common misconceptions and misunderstanding regarding Mexican-origin youth and their sex lives, this thesis offers a Chicana feminist/borderlands analysis of what the young women shared concerning their sexual experiences. Through their stories, I situate teen pregnancy as a symptom of a complex web of discourses, practices, social institutions, and ideologies regarding sex, thereby elucidating the socio-cultural factors that make young Mexicanas vulnerable to unprotected sex, and consequently unintended pregnancy in Brownsville, Texas. Throughout this thesis I focus on three social and personal venues that stood out as the most influential sources from which my informants learned and talked about sex: peers, mothers, and boyfriends. Contrary to the culture of silence presumed by the literature, the mothers and peers of the young respondents are quite vocal about sex; in fact, there is strong peer pressure for young women to have sex. However, they are expected to so within the context of a committed, heterosexual relationship in which young women give into male desire. This set of social expectations compels young women to have unprotected sex, but also to engage in unwanted sex. In the final chapter, I suggest how sex education can be improved and tailored to the particular needs of Brownsville youth—that is both women and men.text

Abstract There have been many researches done on the writing of desire for love in Taiwan’s love novels. However, pure love in the women writer’s works was seldom explored. In hence, this thesis is going to discuss the issue of love in Taiwanese native novels written by women writers. This not only includes the pure love but also the passion for hometown and love between man and woman. The research focuses on the three texts: A Thousand Moons on a Thousand Rivers written by Li-hung Hsiao, Children of the Salt Field by Su-fen Tsai, and The Diary of the Time That Flied by Shu-yao Chen. The three texts focus on two big issues: the passion for hometown and love between man and woman. The analysis of the passion for hometown is carried out from people, landscapes and conventions. Through the analysis of positive and negative sides of values and attitudes in hometown, the change of the unshakable social belief could be observed. The idea that man is superior to woman was not rooted anymore. In addition, a glimpse of the leaving of people from the hometown to cities could be taken to see the different patterns of the process “home/away/home” in both man and woman in the hometown. The images of the landscapes in the hometown are almost related to water that could be combined into the symbol of life and death, everything that has changed, guilt purification and cleansing. In the aspect of conventions in the hometown, a lot of conventions play the role in asking female characters to go back home instinctively in A Thousand Moons on a Thousand Rivers. Later on, in Children of the Salt Field, the conventions reduced to festivals and rituals, clearly showing the poverty, prosperity and decline of the salt field. In The Diary of the Time That Flied, the rituals were simplified, and the commemorations of male and female ancestors were paid attention, which was related to the contribution of women to the development of Penghu. The love between man and woman is explored in three aspects: the relationship between woman and love, woman and marriage, and woman and desire for love. The belief women held tends to become liberal from conservative. Matchmaking progressed to free love and entering into marriage and then to free love without the goal of getting married, which gradually showed the self of female characters. The writing of the three texts features in the use of dialects in the hometown, the writing of love, plot and setting. The author’s imagination of the hometown, the use of maxims and folklore songs that shape the identification with the hometown, the intonation of words and the mix of Mandarin Chinese and Min Nan (Taiwanese) reflect that the cultural awareness of the three women writers is increasingly localized and Taiwanized. The writing of pure love and desire for love in the three texts takes the path of romantic realism. They all imply common cultural and time perspectives and have similar orders of plot. Finally, the importance of love writing is established for future studies.

According to Cheng’s study（2004）,the primary characteristic of teenagers suffering from “lack-of-love syndrome” was to seldom communicate with their families, frequently run away from home and drop out of school. The research data was analyzed qualitatively and the researcher adopted hermeneutic-phenomenology and then interviewed 10 drop out junior high school students. The aim of the study is to understand and help those teenagers who might have suffered from lack-of-love syndrome, to help them recall their growing and learning process and to investigate the efficiency and difficulty of counseling. Results show that the discontinue schoolings of teenagers including boys and girls were significantly related to the lack-of-love syndrome. Teenagers with aforesaid characteristics usually chased the love they lacked or desired because they could not get love from family so that they drop out of school. Several factors make them drop out of school such as individual, family, school and society. However, after having different life experiences, part of teenagers who dropped out of school gradually returned their normal life and came back the school. Some turning points included life experiences, daily situations, personal intention, un-official support and anticipation, and parents’ attitudes.
