In retrospect, the violent events at Kent State on May 4, 1970 marked the ending of widespread campus protest left over from the turbulent 1960s.
The killings, historian John Fitzgerald O’Hara writes, “became a source of public trauma as the event came to symbolize the fracturing of the social body and the breakdown of democracy.” The tragedy became national news; a dramatic photo of a teenaged girl next to a dying student was plastered over the front pages of newspapers around the country.
The constitutional questions are in the first instance not questions of right but questions of might. The actual constitution of a country has
its existence only in the actual condition of force which exists in the country: hence political constitutions have value and permanence only
when they accurately express those conditions of forces which exist in practice within a society.
Social forces such as large groups of people like this come together to celebrate Kobe’s life. All these strangers banded together for their shared respect of this basketball player, which I found pretty profound.
“Without the concept of belief, a great deal of human behavior, both individually and socially, is rendered incomprehensible. Religious studies needs belief not because religion needs belief, but because human beings have beliefs.”

Dr. Dunn studies the social forces that impact the poor
As an urban sociologist, Dr. Ronnie Dunn researches issues affecting minorities and the urban poor. His particular areas of expertise are race, policing and racial profiling.
“Through my work at Cleveland State University,” Dr. Dunn says, “I hope to highlight the influence of the macro-level social structure as well as the social forces that impinge upon the daily lives of the poor and disenfranchised and often result in different outcomes, depending on one’s social group membership.”
Dr. Dunn is deeply engaged in the local and national dialogue on race and policing in America. He was written extensively on the topic and provided written testimony to President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. He also was appointed by Governor John Kasich to the Ohio Task Force on Community-Police Relations and the Ohio Collaborative on Community-Police Advisory Board, which is establishing statewide policing standards.
“I approach research questions within Urban Studies from a sociological perspective,” Dr. Dunn says. “This enables one to understand and examine the manner in which social forces structure, influence, define and constrict one’s life and the choices and opportunities that are, or are perceived to be, available to them, based on their membership in the various cultural, economic or social groups within society.”
