The Changing Face of Racial Discrimination: Hispanics as the Dominant Minority in the USA - a New Application of Power-Threat Theory
According to Hubert Blalock's 1967 power-threat theory, the larger the minority group's size the greater the threat to the majority group. Most of Blalock's examples, and much of the subsequent empirical investigation into the power-threat thesis, focus on Anglo and African American relations. Changing demographics will likely alter existing majority-minority relations as Hispanics displace African Americans as the largest minority. This will cha…
The Fading Dream of Retirement: Social and Financial Considerations Affecting the Retirement Decision
Considerable attention has been directed at analyzing the lifestyle of retirees and how they adapt to their new stage of the life course. The literature largely treats this stage as a given and suggests Boomers (1946–1965) will retire as the preceding two generations have retired. But retirement in one's early- to mid-sixties is a relatively new stage of the life course and may soon become little more than a fond memory. The social conditions dri…
The Malthusian fallacy: Prophecies of doom and the crisis of Social Security
Thomas Malthus and the neo-Malthusians are concerned about exponential growth of the population and the consequences of this growth on the world.

This is the Malthusian fallacy: forecast of doom predicated on one change that does not take other changes into account. This paper examines the root of this fallacy and…

Songs dealing with illegal drugs have long dotted popular music. It was not until the aftermath of the sixties youth counterculture, however, that drug lyrics became a recurring musical motif. In the decades since, the lyrical treatment of drugs has undergone change. Heroin and cocaine have largely, though not exclusively, been treated antagonistically, with the animosity toward cocaine becoming more pronounced after crack cocaine was introduced …
