whether Captain America has this obligation to save the world, even if it means risking the lives of its very own citizens. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VI It’s Not a Cartoon-It’s Anime: Foreign Media Mixing In MacKenzie Clarke, COM 405: Communication and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Joseph Marren, Communication The U.S. pushes out much more media that it takes in from the world, and non-English foreign media is rarely taken in, especially within the last decade. However, anime is doing surprising well within the U.S. My presentation will focus on the popularity of anime in our media today in particular the issues foreign media have breaking into American entertainment. To do so, it will focus on a comparative study of the framing of anime in the U.S. press and on broadcasting stations. It will also analyze the long history of Japanese produced animation in the U.S., and the growth of its fan base over the last two decades. I will analyze the issues facing companies producing anime and the fight between them and English fan subtitling groups that have and are violating international copyright/ intellectual property laws; the ongoing issue of censorship in anime by distribution companies; and how foreign media and anime is perceived in the U.S. I hope the audience will get a “taste” for non- English speaking foreign media, and see that a subtitled movie or television show can be just as worthwhile to watch as an American production. I think the best material would be short, funny clips of subtitled anime.

88 Humanities Making Billions From an Unnecessary (and Potentially Harmful) Product: The Nike Story Robert Zielonka, COM 450: Communications and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication Bill Bowerman and Philip Knight founded Nike Inc. on January 25th, 1964. Since that day, the number of running injuries in the United States has grown. A ‘Runners World’ magazine poll found that 66 percent of runners had suffered a running related injury in 2009 alone. Results from an American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation study of runners found that while wearing running shoes, there was increased torque in the hip, knee and ankles, resulting in more injuries than running barefoot. My work argues that through the judicious muse of media memes, Nike has successfully create a product category where there was no real need (people have been running without “running shoes” since the dawn of mankind), and created a product that might be harmful as many new studies which I cite show. They have helped to popularize running culture and created a hugely popular and profitable brand while at the same time contributing to the increase in running injuries. Presentation Type and Session: Poster IV Mediated Gender Roles: What Boys and Girls Are “Supposed To Be” Edward Mazzu, COM 450: Communications and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication For generations, American children have been subject to countless advertisements that reinforce stereotypes of what boys and girls should act or look like. Most often the messages are very distinct and overt, showing boys as tough and dominant while posing girls as passive and happy. But just how do television and print advertisements affect children and their behavior? To what extent does this influence have a lasting impression? And what role does popular culture play in assigning gender roles to children? After examining several hours of children’s television programming, it is evident that the majority of ads are gender targeted. The typical ad for boys uses strong action verbs to describe behavior. Bold colors and aggressive pop rock music cast the product as a means to being “cool” and in charge. If there are girls in the ad, they are usually in the background merely there to watch with awe and excitement as the boy(s) play with the product. In sharp contrast, ads geared towards girls are often framed in pastel colors such as pink or purple and showcase the importance of beauty and delicateness to being feminine. The use of camera angles to convey messages also significantly increases the effect of assigning gender roles. Directors also commonly use visual devices such as camera angle to assign or deny power to boys and girls. My research discusses the impact of media on children and how gender roles are taught at an early age, and are usually counter to the social aim of gender equality. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Social Sciences Networking From the Grave: Letterheads and Business Cards Designed For Famous Dead People Victoria Palmiotto, COM 495: Project Faculty Mentor: Professor Amy Greenan, Communication When applying for jobs, first impressions are almost always made on paper. That is to say that the first thing a potential employer will be presented with is your business card, letter of interest, or resume. How can design be strategically used to successfully brand yourself and allow you to stand out? I will combine research in personal branding with my knowledge of the elements of design. The work will explore how images, color, and composition on paper can relay information about a person. In regards to branding yourself for employment, these pieces will demonstrate how to express creativity and individuality while maintaining professionalism. Research will be conducted in the form of interviews with professionals who are responsible for making hiring decisions. I will also research current trends in personal branding. I will apply what I learn to a collection of work that will feature collateral design for dead celebrities. Letterheads for late rock stars and business cards from past world leaders will be on display. Will you be able to tell which belongs to whom without looking at the names? Presentation Type and Session: Poster VIII Plea’s Please - Spare Some Change? Joshua DeMont, PHI 401W: Respect Seminar Faculty Mentor: Professor John Draeger, Philosophy Does a destitute man’s plea for spare change morally oblige you to help? What if he asked for booze? What if he were being assaulted and pleaded for help? If your sense of obligation differed between these scenarios, you are acknowledging there may be some instances that don’t necessarily oblige you to someone else’s pursuits, while others seem more compulsory. Stephen Darwall and R. M. Dworkin’s respective accounts of dignified persons might have us act for moral reasons that derive from a sense of moral duty. Thomas Nagel’s work suggests these are subjective reasons that fall short of how we ‘ought’ to act toward others. He claims they lack objective reasons that would have us act with an altruistic moral approach. The aim of this project is to determine whether an egoistic or altruistic approach to moral issues is better suited to answering our pleas.
