  • legitimizing ruptures of development trajectories party press discourse on Rural Society in transitional china 1997 2006
    The International Journal of Press Politics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Yunya Song, Tsankuo Chang
    Abstract:

    Although the Communist Party of China has based its economic claims to legitimacy on its ability to raise individual living standards, the state’s earlier approach to encouraging some people to get rich first was rendered problematic after continual ruptures in the Rural economy. Through both quantitative and qualitative analyses, this study seeks to unravel the interplay between the state and media in China’s march toward modernization by examining coverage of Rural development in People’s Daily (PD). From 1997 to 2006, China’s central party organ reported an enormous increase in the central officials’ efforts to boost the Rural income, but highlighted in a hierarchical way their responsiveness according to the logics of period, region, and the task. In its assessment of Rural anomalies, the responsibility was devolved to local bureaucracies, hence shifting the blame away from the central authority. A discourse analysis showed the PD stuck to a contour of economic developmentalism that upheld information...

  • prosocial behavior leads to happiness in a small scale Rural Society
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2015
    Co-Authors: Lara B Aknin, Tanya Broesch, Kiley J Hamlin, Julia W Van De Vondervoort
    Abstract:

    Humans are extraordinarily prosocial, and research conducted primarily in North America indicates that giving to others is emotionally rewarding. To examine whether the hedonic benefits of giving represent a universal feature of human behavior, we extended upon previous cross-cultural examinations by investigating whether inhabitants of a small-scale, Rural, and isolated village in Vanuatu, where villagers have little influence from urban, Western culture, survive on subsistence farming without electricity, and have minimal formal education, report or display emotional rewards from engaging in prosocial (vs. personally beneficial) behavior. In Study 1, adults were randomly assigned to purchase candy for either themselves or others and then reported their positive affect. Consistent with previous research, adults purchasing goods for others reported greater positive emotion than adults receiving resources for themselves. In Study 2, 2- to 5-year-old children received candy and were subsequently asked to engage in costly giving (sharing their own candy with a puppet) and non-costly giving (sharing the experimenter’s candy with a puppet). Emotional expressions were video-recorded during the experiment and later coded for happiness. Consistent with previous research conducted in Canada, children displayed more happiness when giving treats away than when receiving treats themselves. Moreover, the emotional rewards of giving were largest when children engaged in costly (vs. non-costly) giving. Taken together, these findings indicate that the emotional rewards of giving are detectable in people living in diverse societies and support the possibility that the hedonic benefits of generosity are universal.

  • Parliamentary enclosure, common rights and social change: Evidence from the parts of Lindsey in Lincolnshire
    Journal of Peasant Studies, 2000
    Co-Authors: Rex C. Russell
    Abstract:

    Parliamentary enclosure is considered between the mid-eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries. Three motives for enclosure are identified: to change the structure of Rural Society, to secure profit, and to promote social stability. Enclosure laid the basis for the final destruction of the English peasantry. Those who gained were, essentially, large landlords and large capitalist tenants. Those who lost were all other members of Rural Society who relied on their rights of commons: and especially independent owners of small acreages, cottagers with no holdings in the common fields and squatters on the commons. The article seeks to establish (1) the importance and value of commons and rights of common and (2) what happened at enclosure when rights of common were abolished; with evidence almost entirely from the Parts of Lindsey in North Lincolnshire. From c.1790 onwards (until well after 1870, in fact) there was a prolonged attack on all aspects of Rural popular culture and parliamentary enclosure was one important element in that attack.
