This paper argues against Jurgen Habermas's criticism of Theodor Adorno's ideology critique. It claims that although Adorno's theories are not without their flaws, Adorno did recognize the role of culture as it is applied to exchange principle. Adorno's theories are compared with the rational potential of communicative action theory supported by Habermas. Outlined are Habermas's opinions concerning ideology, particularly his claim that ideology is dead. It is argued that ideology is still thriving, & Habermas's own recent work is, itself, inherently ideological in nature. 22 References. K. A. Larsen

Based on expert interviews & an extensive literature review, Kleres describes the historical development & peculiarities of the gay & lesbian movement under a repressive socialist regime. The roots go back to the 1970s, but it was not until the early 1980s that the movement stabilized. Some parts of the movement were protected by the church, & some secular groups were formally associated with state controlled organizations. Though resources, opportunities, & political agendas of these groups differed, their common goal was to abolish discrimination in socialist society. 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

America's jails currently house over one million nonviolent prisoners. As a result, incarceration costs in the US are staggering. In 1978, just five billion dollars were spent on costs pertaining to prisons & jails. Just under 20 years later, that figure had grown to 31 billion dollars. This paper examines the growth in the nonviolent inmate population & the correlating increase in cost. It also looks at current public safety issues & outlines strategies that local & federal governments should take into consideration when addressing the current situation. 6 Tables, 22 References. K.

Hitotsubashi University and Organization Science cosponsored a conf erence on Asian Research in Organizations, which was held on the Hitotsubashi campus on October 19–22, 1995. Thirty papers were invited for presentation, out of more than 70 that were originally proposed. The conference was run in a format designed to maximize feedback to authors as a way to speed up and intensify the developmental process of each paper. The objective of the conference was to identify and develop papers for a special issue of Organization Science featuring Asian Research in Organizations.

This article describes a pilot study of the friendships of 22 adolescents aged 13–19 with visual impairments. The study found that the female participants and the 13–15-year-old participants had more intimate friendships than did the male participants and the 16–19-year-old participants. The friends engaged in a variety of activities, talked about a wide array of topics, and spent time together in many places. Only a few participants reported that their visual impairments affected what they did with their friends.

We examine the presidential nominees' choice of running mate in each election since 1940, when Franklin Roosevelt established a precedent by naming his own. To analyze the 22 choices made from the pool of 127 serious possibilities, we employ a discrete choice model. We find that the presidential nominee's choice is explained primarily by the size of the prospective vice president's state, by whether the running mate finalist was a rival for the nomination, and by the balance in age for the ticket.

Es wird untersucht, inwiefern sich Schulanfänger, die vor dem Mauerfall in beiden Teilen Berlins in zwei verschiedenen sozio-politischen (Makro-)Systemen aufgewachsen sind, beim Eintritt in das inzwischen vereinheitlichte Schulsystem in ihrem Anpassungsverhalten unterscheiden. Zwei Stichproben von Kindern (48 Ost und 45 West) und ihre Familien wurden über einen Zeitraum von 2 Jahren kurz vor Schuleintritt bis zum Ende der 2. Klasse untersucht. Die Gegenüberstellung der Verhaltensauffälligkeiten in den Settings Familie und Schule erbrachte drei Gruppen: 61% waren weder im schulischen noch im häuslichen Setting auffällig; 22% nahmen die Lehrerinnen als schwierig wahr; bei der dritten Gruppe (17%) zeigten sich aus Sicht der Mütter Anpassungsprobleme im Verlauf der Einschulung. In allen drei Clustern waren Geschlechtsunterschiede deutlicher als Systemunterschiede. Diese kindlichen Auffälligkeitsmuster wurden in Beziehung gesetzt zur repräsentierten Bindungsqualität, den Belastungen der Familie und dem Angstmaß der Erwachsenen (Eltern und Lehrer) bezüglich der Makrosystemveränderungen.

Los jovenes nicaragüenses quieren vivir en un pais mejor. No les interesa mucho la politica y estan muy poco organizados. Conocen sus derechos y menos sus deberes. Y sobre todo, quieren trabajar y aspiran a una buena preparacion profesional. En agosto de 1995, la Universidad Centroamericana realizo una encuesta representativa, para una muestra aleatoria probabilistica, a 1.572 jovenes entre 15 y 24 anos de edad, en 22 municipios de los departamentos de Managua, Masaya, Leon, Matagalpa y Chontales. Se resumen los resultados. (Envio/DÜI)

Examines pregnancy & consent within the abortion debate in the context of good samaritan arguments initiated by Judith Jarvis Thomson (1986). Drawing on legal & medical definitions, the abortion issue is reframed as the right of a woman to consent to what will be done to her body by the fetus. This argument shifts abortion rights from decisional autonomy to bodily integrity affirmed by samaritan case law. Recasting abortion as a response to nonconsensual pregnancy opens new grounds guaranteeing women's reproductive rights. 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

Die philosophische Reflexion psychologischer Erkenntnisse hat in Deutschland eine lange und fruchtbare Tradition. Der Beitrag versucht aufzuzeigen, daß auch in der DDR nach 1945 das Gedankengut der aus Deutschland vertriebenen Psychologen wiederbelebt wurde. Es habe zwar eine zunehmende Ideologisierung der Psychologie und Ausgrenzung "bürgerlicher" Ansätze gegeben. Beim 22. Internationalen Psychologiekongress 1980 in Leipzig sei aber eine durchaus positive Bilanz gezogen worden. Arbeitspsychologie, Sozialpsychologie, Entwicklungspsychologie hätten internationales Niveau erreicht, sagt der Autor. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die in der DDR entstandenen fachphilosophischen Beiträge zur Psychologie und beschreibt in einzelnen Abschnitten die Zeit von 1952-1961 als "Frühling der Philosophie" in der DDR, dann die Zeit 1961-68, in der die Kybernetik Mode wurde, die Zeit 1968-75 als "zweiten Frühling", die Phase 1975-85 als Zeit verschärfter ideologischer Auseinandersetzungen und die Zeit der Perestroika 1985-89.
