Negotiating Social Change: Backstory Behind the Repeal of Don\u27t Ask, Don\u27t Tell
No full textThis Article is about negotiating social change in the largest U.S. institution, the Military and its five Services. Inducing social change in any institution and society is notoriously difficult when change requires overcoming clashing personal values among stakeholders. And, in this negotiation over the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT), clashing values over open service by gays and lesbians were central to the conflict. In response to President Obama’s call to repeal DADT, the Secretary of Defense selected a Working Group to undertake studies, surveys and focus groups to inform the debate. During the nine-month process of gathering a massive amount of information, the Working Group did much more than inform. Its process cultivated buy-in by resistant Service members to the largest shift in social values in the military since racial integration in 1948. This study examines how the Pentagon’s Working Group process contributed to the change and prepared stakeholders for implementation in an Article jointly written by Brigadier General Letendre, Dean of the Faculty at U.S. Air Force Academy, who served as the legal advisor to the Co-Chair of the Working Group, and Professor Hal Abramson, an academic and practitioner in the field of dispute resolution who is an award-winning author. The authors use theoretical negotiation benchmarks to explain and examine choices made by the Working Group while assessing the process against the same benchmarks. While this Article is joint, it is enriched by short commentaries by each author, in which Brigadier General Letendre offers an insider’s view at key points while Professor Abramson offers his observations on key choices. Ultimately this Article is a case study of a complex multiparty process with lessons on negotiating social change

The book under review covers the traditional content of a typical mathematical literacy text. After a brief overview of the book contents, the review then focuses on two specific challenges that QL textbooks have to meet: the timeliness of the contexts used and the subjective author voice that inevitably colors any contextualized discussion. Both issues noticeably arise in the text reviewed. Nonetheless instructors may find it a helpful resource
Helplessness, Illusions, And Depression: Final Comment
No full textResponds to the reply by L. B. Alloy and L. Y. Abramson (see record 1982-07843-001) to the present author\u27s comment (see record 1982-07941-001) on Alloy and Abramson\u27s (see record 1981-02686-001) research on contingency judgment in depressed and nondepressed Ss. Despite a broad agreement, the present author argues that the evidence seems weak for Alloy and Abramson\u27s suggestion that nondepressed people detect noncontingency accurately. Schwartz\u27s view of helplessness as neither necessary nor sufficient for depression is considered inaccurate. (3 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved
College Algebra (OpenStax)
No full text1. Prerequisites2. Equations and Inequalities3. Functions4. Linear Functions5. Polynomial and Rational Functions6. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions7. Systems of Equations and Inequalities8. Analytic Geometry9. Sequences, Probability, and Counting TheoryPublished by OpenStax College, College Algebra provides a comprehensive and multi-layered exploration of algebraic principles. The text is suitable for a typical introductory Algebra course, and was developed to be used flexibly. The modular approach and the richness of content ensures that the book meets the needs of a variety of programs. College Algebra guides and supports students with differing levels of preparation and experience with mathematics. Ideas are presented as clearly as possible, and progress to more complex understandings with considerable reinforcement along the way. A wealth of examples - usually several dozen per chapter offer detailed, conceptual explanations, in order to build in students a strong, cumulative foundation in the material before asking them to apply what they've learned."Jay Abramson, lead author, senior content expert; contributing authors, Valeree Falduto, Rachael Gross, David Lippman, Melonie Rasmussen, Rick Norwood, Nicholas Belliot, Jean-Marie Magnier, Harold Whipple, Christina Fernandez."--Page 5
