Global urbanization has given cause for a re-assessment of the nature and importance of the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.

Hong Kong is the world's most urbanised political entity, and thus provides an ideal context for the exploration of the role of animals in th…

This study uses data from the Asian Student Drug Survey to examine the extent to which social control and peer cluster theories explain drug and alcohol use among students of various Asian American subgroups.

Pacific Islander and Filipino American youths have the highest rates, whereas Chinese American youths have the lowest rates of use. Among some ethn…
A Theory of Minority Students' Survival in College
This paper sets forth a theory to explain the survival of minority students in college. Minority students are faced with barriers such as cultural and racial isolation, unfamiliarity with college life, and hostility. As colleges place greater emphasis on diversity, campuses are more likely to turn into hostile milieus for minority students. In reaction, minority students will close ranks and seek other minority students on campus to form ethnic s…

In this paper, the results of a sample survey of a large public…
