Social support among Korean immigrants in the greater Atlanta area, 1986
Get PDFIn view of the phenomenal increase in the number of Korean-Americans and their enduring problems in the process of adjusting to a new social, economic, political, and cultural system, this descriptive study is to examine the relationship between successful immigration (or life satisfaction) and social support. Based on the data collected from a stratified random sample of 339 Korean immigrants who live in the greater Atlanta area, significant relationships between life satisfaction and the need of a confidant, an advisor, physical help, and the incidence of emotional experience of the immigrants are found. Subsequently, personal characteristics and sources of social support are discussed, and social service programs and implementation strategies are suggested

Get PDFInterest group manipulation & public policy: a case study of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), 2007
Get PDFThroughout United States government history, political interest groups had a profound influence on some very important decisions. One interest group that gained great fame and recognition through media coverage is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). It proposes and supports a constitutional right of animals which causes conflict with research scientists, hunters and farming concerns. The methodology used in this research is the case study; allows a researcher to capture the totality of the subject being studied. The methodology allowed the researcher to look at the organization in a systemic way using pluralism as a theoretical framework. Pluralists see public policy as resulting from competing group interactions. This case study of the PETA organization was an investigation of its techniques, tactics and strategies used to affect public policy. The research questions were: 1. What impact does the interest group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have on legislative process and/or public policy? 2. What tactics and strategies are used by the interest group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to make it a very successful interest group? This research study will provide additional information on the tactics, strategies and techniques which will help interest groups respond to legislative changes which result from changing values, norms and beliefs in society
