An Analysis of the New Generation of Migrant Workers＇ Education Demand

对新生代农民工来说,教育是提高自身人力资本、实现经济地位和社会地位转变的最主要途径。总体来看,新生代农民工对教育需求强烈,偏好学历教育,学习内容上体现了明显的市场经济导向,在教育机构的选择上存在一定的差异性。因此,技能与学历相结合的教育是最适合于新生代农民工的教育,可以通过深化成人教育和职业教育改革、规范培训机构、加强政府扶持力度和强化企业责任等途径以满足新生代农民工群体的特殊需要。     

新生代农民工的友缘关系分析

在新生代农民工的社会关系中,友缘是一种涵盖范围广并具有特殊性的关系形态。以往的研究大多将“朋友”与“亲戚”放在一起并称为“亲友”,但这一概念在日后的演变中逐渐离析。根据问卷调查的数据,友缘（化）关系可以分为三种类型：“友缘化关系”,“初级友缘关系”,“次级友缘关系”。不管何种类型,在新生代农民工融入城市的过程中都会发生友缘社会资本的变动。一方面．个体借助“友缘链”扩展社会资本,通过偶然机会结识朋友的比例很高。另一方面,不可抗的社会事件是造成友缘社会资本流失的重要原因。     

Policy Choice of Social Benign Movement——With the NewGeneration of Migrant Workers＇ Citisenization for Example

社会阶层的良性流动需要合理的政策做前提条件,因为政策在打破社会阶层固化、抑制盲目流动、协调利益关系、维护社会稳定等方面有着举足轻重的作用。但现行的户籍制度及以此为基础建立的各种不平等政策,对社会阶层良性流动,特别是对新生代农民工市民化造成严重制约。对此,要突破现有城乡二元体制的限制,通过改革户籍政策、就业政策、社保政策和土地政策等,实现新生代农民工在城市里“进得来”、“干得爽”、“留得住”、“活得好”。

A ‘Minority’ on the Move: Boundary Work among Filipina Muslim Migrant Domestic Workers in the Middle East

This article analyses the migration of a religious ‘minority’ that is largely invisible within migration studies, namely Muslim Filipina domestic workers. More specifically, this research shows that the category of ‘minority’ is not fixed and is always negotiated through transnational spaces and boundary work. In doing so, the article highlights how religious belonging, the status of minority and migration intersect and are negotiated during the period prior to these women leaving their country, during their time in the country of destination, and when they return to the Philippines. How boundary work affects the religious belonging of this Muslim ‘minority’ is underlined by presenting the Middle East as an opportunity to perform norms of ‘Muslimness’. The performance of these norms as an opportunity for these women to challenge the status of being a ‘minority’ in the Philippines is also examined. Finally, this article shows how these Muslim ‘minorities’ gain access to a certain symbolic capital by becoming hajji and balikbayan (returnees) when they return home.     

Migrant Workers Home and its practices on shaping the culture and community of ‘New Working Class’: a criticism on cultural-political activism in contemporary China

ABSTRACT

New Workers Home (Beijing, China) has been the most important site of activism and organizing of New Workers culture in Mainland China over the past 15 years. Beyond today’s intellectual atmosphere of liberal and ‘left-phobia’ in China, exploring the formation of a New Working Class can give us a new sense of class discourse and imagination of socialist China in the dimensions of both knowledge and activism. Based on my half-year fieldwork in New Workers Home and participant observation in knowledge and activism of New Workers culture, this paper aims at providing an in-depth analysis of the implications and tensions in the Migrant Workers Home’s imagination of New Workers culture and the organization’s energy and internal turbulence in their imagination of the community of the New Working Class, through reviewing their cultural actions focusing on the ‘cultural battlefield’ and community culture of Pi Cun (an urban fringe village in Beijing), their wider actions in social enterprise, ecological agriculture, organizational works among New Workers and their own organization’s internal situation. The outline of the problematics in this paper can be drawn by putting forward the following questions. How is the New Workers culture shaped by Migrant Workers Home? According to the situation of New Workers in contemporary China, what is its imagination of this forming class? How does it intervene the forming of a New Working Class with its cultural activism? By establishing a museum, college, social enterprises and ecological farms, how do these practices show its imagination of labours’ culture and politics? Located in Beijing and facing special political conditions, how does it arrange the guidelines and strategies of movements? What are the dilemmas of these practices, strategies and real politics?     

Theme and Variations——Based on the Structural Analysis of the Evolution of China＇s Youth Values in 20 Years

社会结构的变迁,必然导致人的文化价值观念结构的变迁。初创于20世纪90年代中国社会主义市场经济,带来中国社会结构的巨大变动,同时也是青年价值观变化最快、最深刻的时段。该文聚焦于“后一代”青年特性融入社会结构变迁这一背景,分析其时代特性以及社会结构的嵌入性。近20年来,青年在接受社会文化和价值观影响的同时,也在不断地挑战主流文化及其价值观,创造其新的文化和价值观。因此,主导价值观被青年所认同与接受的同时,也将更多吸纳青年价值观中具有活性的成分．从而使社会主流意识因为得到青年文化的反哺而走向年轻。     

The Impact of Autism Spectrum Disorders on the Family: A Qualitative Study of Mothers’ Perspectives

An estimated 730,000 Americans younger than age 21 in the United States have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and current trends predict 36,500 new diagnoses each year. Due to this rapid increase in ASD diagnoses, it is critical to understand the impact having a child with ASD has on a family's daily functioning to better coordinate services and design effective interventions. Qualitative semistructured interviews with eight mothers were conducted, and four primary themes emerged identifying primarily negative impacts of having a child with ASD. Implications for practice and future research are addressed to inform the development of best practices for families.

An Analysis on Political Participation Behavior of American Interest Groups—— A Case Study of the National Rifle Association

In American democracy politics, interest groups has been an indivisible part of American political system and the existence and development of them often has been closely associated with social problems. America is a free country which allows people to hold guns. Consequently, the free trading of firearms leads to frequent violent incidents, which has already become the main social chronic illness in the American society. However, the US gun-control movement makes less progress primarily due to the obstruction of the National Rifle Association. Hence, the studying of the NRA's political participation behavior can help readers to get a clear understanding of the interest group's influence on the development of American democratic politics and the nature of American democracy.

“A New Sort of ‘Salvation Army’”: Historical Perspectives on the Confluence of Psychoanalysis and Social Work

No profession in the United States has a broader perspective on human needs than social work. Bold but also functional, social work distinctively places the pursuit of social justice on a par with the clinical treatment of individuals, pairs and families. Yet for much of the twentieth Century, proponents of the “macro” and of the “micro” approaches to practice have challenged each other’s commitment to social progressivism and humanist values. Interestingly, this on-going debate has hardly changed the core “person-in-environment” psychoanalytic paradigm at all. It is time to set aside this hidebound dispute, I argue in this article: social work is not two institutions folded into one but one profession that must be understood dialectically. Drawing on the history of the early psychoanalyst’s intense social activism and their commitment to treating the poor and working classes, I show how psychoanalysis shares in the transformation of civil society and helps restore individuals and communities alike to self-regulation and productivity.

“It All Depends on the Guy and the Girl”: A Qualitative Study of Youth Experiences with Statutory Victimization Relationships

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine youths’ perceptions of statutory victimization relationships and youths’ experience interacting with professionals. In-person qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 youths identified as statutory rape victims by two child advocacy centers. Using grounded theory, interviews were coded thematically using constant comparison analysis. The discussion of the relationship dynamics suggested a great deal of variation. Some youths described the relationships in exploitive terms. However, more typically, the interviewed youth described the relationship as reciprocal, even some time after it had ended. The professional intervention often resulted in feelings of helplessness for the youth. The results suggest creative and flexible protocols are needed for handling these cases that recognize adolescents’ developing autonomy.
