Consumer Perceptions of Labels and the Willingness to Pay for “Second Generation” Genetically Modified Products
Get PDFEnvironmental and consumer groups have called for mandatory labeling of genetically modified (GM) food products in the United States, stating that consumers have the “right to know.” But evidence exists suggesting that consumers often cannot correctly interpret the meaning of scientific labels. Herein we use a nonhypothetical field experiment to examine how well consumers interpret GM labels, focusing on the solitary secondgeneration GM product currently on the U.S. market—GM cigarettes. Our results suggest that while consumers pay less for GM cigarettes when they are labeled as GM, these labels seem to be misinforming consumers. This evidence implies that consumers could be better off without mandatory GM labeling
The Grace That Keeps This World
No full textGary and Susan Hazen—high school sweethearts married for many years, born and bred in the Adirondack community of Lost Lake—live a simple and honest life and have instilled values in their two grown sons by example. But despite their efforts, Gary senses that his sons are starting to pull away and can’t help but feel he is at fault. His younger son, Kevin, has ambitions that extend far beyond the snowy edges of their small town. And his elder, Gary David, so fears disappointing his father that he is keeping an important part of his life secret. The Grace That Keeps This World is a story about family, community, and the shared values that underlie and sustain human relationships. And ultimately, it is a tale of profound loss, human fallibility, and the love—romantic, neighborly, or familial—that can sometimes blur our line of vision.https://scholarlycommons.susqu.edu/facultybooks/1060/thumbnail.jp
The Social Relevance of Philosophy: The Debate over the Applicability of Philosophy to Citizenship
No full textCan philosophy be socially relevant? Dating back to Socrates\u27 Apology, and beyond Marx\u27s argument that pure philosophical theory without practical application was unattainable, philosophers have had many diverse views about their work, including that it is indispensable, that it is socially irrelevant, and even that it is harmful. Tracing the controversy through history, this book examines eleven philosophers\u27 arguments concerning the question of the social relevance of philosophy, placing each thinker in the appropriate cultural and historical context. Colleen Flewelling focuses particularly on the Frankfurt School, as their program was aimed at producing a socially relevant theory. She suggests that philosophical theory and practice are, in fact, interconnected and that, if properly understood, some forms of philosophy can be socially relevant. The Social Relevance of Philosophy provides a concise, yet thorough, history of the debate on philosophy\u27s role in society. It is essential reading for students and professional philosophers alike.https://scholarlycommons.susqu.edu/facultybooks/1043/thumbnail.jp

Standing Around the Heart
No full textGary Fincke’s new collection is a poetry grounded in memorable places and characters. He wants readers to remember the voices they hear in the poems, the work the characters do, the families they have, the things they believe in and strive to live up to. There is also a sense of the larger world layered into nearly every poem—history, politics, science, culture. Here too are poems about the mysteries of adolescence, capturing moments of youthful dreaming and wishing. Told in a confiding tone, these are very accessible and inviting poems about the way we redeem ourselves daily, a poetry that, as distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch put it, “memorializes the past and honors the life lived.”https://scholarlycommons.susqu.edu/facultybooks/1022/thumbnail.jp
The Processual Ordering of Mental Health Care: The Dramaturgical Styles of Contending Political Factions
Get PDFThe processual ordering branch of symbolic interaction has long recognized the importance of rhetoric and power to the social constitution of reality. However, little systematic effort has been devoted to probing their intertwined effects in the public policy arena.
The purpose of this paper is to employ the processual ordering perspective to examine the dramaturgical styles used in shaping public policy -- expressed in terms of the “public administration” and “realpolitik” forms of rhetoric -- among contending political factions as they negotiate mental health public policy. A latent content analysis of the minutes of key U.S. Congressional debates, augmented with secondary archival material from the press is employed. It is concluded that both forms of rhetoric play a role in shaping public mental health policy and that both factions modify their rhetorical form as the debate progresses. Those modifications strengthen the position of one faction while weakening that of the other. Theoretical implications are discussed
