A proposed multi-level plan to market sociological competencies
The challenge of training in applied sociology
Power and the rhetoric of social intervention
Relating rhetoric to power, this essay offers a view of power as communication medium, i.e., communication through power. Logically prior, however, is power through communication by which the rules for power are rhetorically derived. Case studies show (1) a conception of rhetoric‐as‐power being complementary to rhetoric‐as‐epistemic; (2) the development of the power medium as a cultural code dependent on hierarchical interdependency; and (3) the …

Attention and the rhetoric of social intervention
Following a lead from Edwin Black and developing further Brown's doctrine of attention‐switching in the maintenance of a community's ideology, this essay amplifies the nature of rhetorical attention‐shifting, relates instances of it to social intervention, and characterizes and partially exemplifies the form of rhetorical gestalt‐switching
Progress in Communication as a Social Science
This essay proposes a strategy for achieving coherence in results of communication research: to seek for “dynamics-in-the-large” in a dialectical confrontation between culturally-dominated and genetically-dominated theories of learning how to learn communicative behavior, particularly language. The issue is raised in relation to recent work by K. E. Boulding and E. O. Wilson and is refined by reference to their complementary views on the nature o…

Ideology as communication process
Defined as any symbolic construction of the world in whose superordinate “name” human beings can comprehensively order their experience and subsume their specific activities, ideologizing is presented as the function of innate intra‐ and interpersonal categorizing of experience. Ideologies are seen to flourish in open systems and to decline in closed ones. Classical conceptions of science illustrate the process, to the end that an autonomous scie…
Measuring and Explaining High School Interracial Climates
Social researchers and school officials “know” that race relations are better in some schools than others but have not been able to measure or explain these variations. In this paper, we propose one method for measuring schools' “interracial climates” and examine the extent to which variations in these climates are related to schools' racial compositions, rates of change in their racial compositions and the social and academic status of black and…

Between 1970–1972 six mass circulation magazines were appropriate media to carry environmental advertising on behalf of corporations desiring to maintain social cohesion and to lessen blame for pollution. Argumentative frameworks targeted for middle America included selective pleas of innocence, claims of ecological pioneering, and guilt‐shifting; at the same time, persuasive archetypes associated with the technological American Prometheus and th…
