Introduction [excerpt]
This study examined how onlookers formed an impression of a tattooed person. The attitudes to be examined is [sic] that tattooed people are of low class and credibility, uneducated, deviants, convicts, members of biker gangs, sexually promiscuous, and unattractive (Armstrong, 1991; DeMello, 1995; Sanders, 1988).

Barking in unison : shared stories of volunteer workers at a local SPCA shelter, 2008
Item — Call number MU Thesis Cas
Identifier: b2271260
Introduction [excerpt]
Animal shelter volunteers represent an interesting group to study for several reasons. These volunteers often work in stressful surroundings.

Item — Call number MU Thesis Cab
Identifier: b2271263
Introduction [excerpts]
As a young child I was raised in the Bronx. I can remember my close-knit community like it was yesterday. There were different cultures in my community, but the prominent culture was African-American. The community members had shared common beliefs, culture, and language. This was seen from the eyes of a child. Now as an adult I see things differently. I see how many of my African-American community members were failed: failed by an education system that labeled many of us as uneducated...

Blurring the boundaries between feminism and motherhood : how contemporary "stay-at-home" mothers are reconstructing their social identity, 2000
Item — Call number MU Thesis Car
Identifier: b2271261
Introduction [excerpt]
The popular media has often been criticized for creating and sustaining the cultural battlefield of the so-called "Mommy Wars." However, I argue in this paper that these two opposing social images of "traditional" versus "contemporary" mothers are rooted in the internal conflict over issues of motherhood that have divided the feminist movement and scholarship since its beginning. Many of the online communiities of stay-at-home mothers have called attention to...

College students' perceptions of black and white criminality on local TV news, 2007
Item — Call number MU Thesis Gen
Identifier: b2271184
Introduction [excerpt]
The framing of stereotypical images on television news not only harms the viewers in the short term by having a false understanding of the world they live [sic], but, in the long term, it also has the ability for all races of people to further employ hatred, resentment and violence towards other groups of people, including police officers. Furthermore, it also has the capability to create a more sustainable problem from generation to generation. Thus, this...
