Religion and Science in A.D. 1977: Conflict? Accommodation? Mutual Indifference? Or What
Several of the underlying conceptions and the assumptions on which the late nineteenth century world view of science was built-which often underly religious research-are being called into question in the wake of empirical discoveries and theoretical ideas of contemporary science.

Evalutions of Selected Jobs and Occupations by University Students in a Developing Country: Pakistan
Utilizing the North-Hatt method, scores for 52 jobs and occupations were calculated from responses of 129 university students in West Pakistan. Where comparisons were possible, these evaluations were examined alongside those reported by U.S. respondents. Ratings of a smaller number of occupations were also compared for Philippine, Pakistan and U.S. samples. The paper proposes that such inquiry can, under certain conditions, provide a useful measu…
Values, Sociology and the Sociologists
It is possible to “screen out”—or hold in abeyance—ethical or esthetic judgments in sociological methods and in any other branch of science. However, in certain kinds of theory construction, it is virtually impossible to do this. At the level of theory, though not at the level of tested propositions, value differences deter a unified science at this time

Religious Institutions in Complex Societies: Difficulties in the Theoretic Specification of Functions
IMPLICIT in the methodology of structuralfunctional analysis, the prevailing theoretic convention among sociologists and anthropologists for describing institutions in their social context, is the demand for specification in the theory not only of the functional requisites of societies but also of functions which given parts of the whole are expected to perform in, or for, the system. The system ends are generally posited as (1) survival, and, as…

Some Aspects of Institutional Behavior with Reference to Churches
Is it conceivable that production workers do not believe in the chance for promotion, despite the fact that such promotion may in some cases occur as frequently as in department stores? Does the trend of modern industry tend to decrease the chance for workers to rise? Is there adequate literature to document the extent of restriction of output in various types of economic organizations? It has been assumed usually that restriction of output is a …
