Report of Governor Johan Rising, 1655, on New Sweden
No full textGovernor Johan Rising reports to the Swedish government and royalty on the status of New Sweden (present-day New Jersey). He also reports on other Swedish colonies in the area. He asks that single women and skilled tradesmen be sent to the colonies. Rising also reports that attacks from neighboring Indian tribes are increasing. He has found some protection by forming an alliance with English settlers, but the cost is high, and his colony owes the English money and supplies. Rising asks that Sweden send them money so that they can pay off their debts, build ships that would establish a trading dominance with the West Indies, and cultivate land and crops to gain more profit. Reports from New World governors were sent back to their native countries via ships. Rising sent this report in June of 1655, but Sweden did not recieve the report until November of 1655.

Report of Governor Johan Printz, 1647, on New Sweden
No full textGovern Johan Printz, the governor of New Sweden (later to become New Jersey), reports on the status of the colony and the settlers. Many freemen have arrived to settle in New Sweden, but the criminals and military men who were conscripted to the colony want to return to Sweden. Of the freemen, very few are skilled, so Governor Printz asks that blacksmiths, tanners, tailors, carpenters, and butchers be sent to the colony. Additionally, he asks for single women. Printz also reports on two new Swedish colonies that have been established along the Delaware River. However, Dutch settlers have become very aggressive by re-purchasing land from the Indians that the Swedish had already bought. They are also interrupting trade between the Swedes and the Indians, as well as instigating the Indians to attack the Swedes. Printz directed the construction of some storage houses along common trade routes to win back trade from the Indians. However, fighting has erupted between different Native tribes as each tries to establish dominance in trading with the colonies.

Relation of the surrender of New Sweden, by Governor Johan Clason Rising, 1655
No full textGovernor Johan Rising of New Sweden reports to Sweden on the August 1655 Dutch attack on New Sweden's Fort Christina. The Dutch traveled from New Amsterdam (present-day New York) and easily captured a New Sweden outpost. Rising sent men to the outpost to fend of the Dutch, but the Dutch defeated them and took them as prisoners, leaving Fort Christina without fighting men and supplies. The Dutch then put the Fort under seige. A few days later, Rising surrendered the Fort. He and the Swedish colonists were ordered to either return to Sweden, or to remain in the New World in service to the Dutch.

Male on-campus resident students’ social normative behaviour: Influences on lived social climate by same gender beginning-year university students
No full textThis article reports on research on antecedents of first-year male students' experiences of senior male students' aggression in residences at a university in South Africa. Fourteen purposefully selected first-year male student residents (black = 14%; coloured = 7%; white = 79%) voluntarily participated. Their ages ranged between 18 and 21 years. Data were on their perceived precursors to aggression and violence that were collected using photo-narratives (written) and photo-narrative-elicitation-interviews. The data were analysed by means of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three themes emerged which indicate that precursors to aggression and violence included physical and verbal aggression in the form of hitting, shoving around, pushing and shouting, swearing, taunting others, and nasty comments. Social aggression involves acts of bullying, exertion of power, modelling dominant behaviour in which perpetrators defend their status, or signal exclusion of others. The survivors experienced pressure to conform to fellow residents' practices, norms and behaviour in the hope that they would gain acceptance into the in-group

Male teachers' experiences of own aggression
No full textWe describe an exploratory, descriptive, and contextual study on the lived experiences of 17
male teachers’ own aggression in the Gert Sibande district in Mpumalanga province. Individual
phenomenological interviews were used to collect data from these volunteers for this qualitative
research. The data were analysed by means of an open coding systematic process in order to
establish the themes and categories that describe male teachers’ experiences of own aggression.
Results show that the participants in this sample experience their own aggression in a variety
of ways. It appears they primarily experience a loss of power and control that gives rise to
aggression. Significantly, participants are aware that they need guidelines to enable them to
cope with their aggression. Although there are aggression theories that support and provide an
understanding of aggressive behaviour, Transformative Learning Theory seems to offer the best
way of bringing about transformative change in individual behaviour, as it raises consciousness
and an understanding of the self through self-reflectio
