The paper integrates the internal colonial model with the dual labor market perspective. Using data from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses, it assesses the impact of Civil Rights legislation on the education, income, and occupation distributions of black males. The findings are that the increase in blacks with college degrees has resulted in black males moving at a disproportionately high rate into upper level occupations such as professional, technical, management, and administrative occupations....
Show moreThe paper integrates the internal colonial model with the dual labor market perspective. Using data from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses, it assesses the impact of Civil Rights legislation on the education, income, and occupation distributions of black males. The findings are that the increase in blacks with college degrees has resulted in black males moving at a disproportionately high rate into upper level occupations such as professional, technical, management, and administrative occupations. This may be contributing to the growing inequality of income among blacks that has been noted in the literature. It also supports the position that the benefits from Civil Rights legislation will be greatest for blacks who were already relatively well off.

- Abstract/Description
-
This study focuses on occupational identity of Cuban exile fishermen in Dade County, Florida, and the strength of this identity when faced with the Bahamian fishing conflict (1973-1975). It was hypothesized that this identity would become stronger because of this conflict. Other hypotheses predicted differences between perceived and actual fishing legislation in the United States, pre-revolutionary and revolutionary Cuba. The same comparison was made with occupational status. Subjective data...
Show moreThis study focuses on occupational identity of Cuban exile fishermen in Dade County, Florida, and the strength of this identity when faced with the Bahamian fishing conflict (1973-1975). It was hypothesized that this identity would become stronger because of this conflict. Other hypotheses predicted differences between perceived and actual fishing legislation in the United States, pre-revolutionary and revolutionary Cuba. The same comparison was made with occupational status. Subjective data was obtained from a questionnaire administered to fifty fishermen. Strength of occupational identity was not as strong as expected. Subjective views on fishing legislation and status did show a discrepancy with objective data. A number of fishermen conformed to all hypotheses, and further analyses attempt to explain the stronger occupational identity of this group.

- AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONFEDERATING FUNCTION OF HUMOR.

- KHOURY, ROBERT MICHAEL., Florida Atlantic University, Villemez, Wayne J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Sociology
- Abstract/Description

This essay develops a conceptual framework accounting for the potential of humor to enhance social cohesion. A typology of humor is advanced and the constructed types are successively related to the respective types of solidarity deriving from the incidence of humor and the cognitive mechanisms responsible for the emergent fellow-feeling . Beyond explicating the confederating influence of humor. this essay explores the effects of three structural attributes of joking relations upon the nature...
Show moreThis essay develops a conceptual framework accounting for the potential of humor to enhance social cohesion. A typology of humor is advanced and the constructed types are successively related to the respective types of solidarity deriving from the incidence of humor and the cognitive mechanisms responsible for the emergent fellow-feeling . Beyond explicating the confederating influence of humor. this essay explores the effects of three structural attributes of joking relations upon the nature of the emergent solidarity; these are, the social status of the wit, the nature of the vocalized humor, and, the orientation of the auditors towards their group. The influence of these structural variables upon the cohering potential of humor is considered. In the process of formulating a conceptual scheme explicating the confederating impact of humor as well as assessing the influence of extraneous elements upon this potential the findings of previous humor research are appraised in the light of the advanced argument.

This represents an analysis of the inter-relationship between political beliefs and two distinct types of political actions. Data were gathered from a random sample of college students and nine hypotheses were tested using tabular and regression analysis. It was found that a direct relationship does exist between conventional political beliefs and conventional political actions, and the presence of an inverse relationship between conventional political beliefs and non-conventional political...
Show moreThis represents an analysis of the inter-relationship between political beliefs and two distinct types of political actions. Data were gathered from a random sample of college students and nine hypotheses were tested using tabular and regression analysis. It was found that a direct relationship does exist between conventional political beliefs and conventional political actions, and the presence of an inverse relationship between conventional political beliefs and non-conventional political actions was also detected. In both cases, an individual's predisposition toward political change was found to have significant effect upon the above stated relationships. It was concluded that attitudes toward political change constitutes an integral part of the relationship that exists between political beliefs and political actions.
