constant strive for security and control in a world that tells them they aren’t good enough. My research, examines the question as to why eating disorders are now so prominent in so many cultures where they previously did not exist. I hope my research will be an eye opener for my audience because it will allow them to realize woman in the developing worlds are starting to be influenced by the media as woman in the United States are. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Social Sciences That Makes You Cool? The Engineering of Fads and Trends In Popular Culture Sara Kurpiewski, COM 450: Communication and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication As we live our lives we see trends and fads come and go. What is it that draws our attention to these particular things? Who is it that controls our perceptions of what makes us “cool?” Research studies show that with globalization, cultural memes quickly spread globally. I am referring not only to things we think make us look cool such as clothing, fashion and music, but also nutrition, design, political, medical, and even environmental trends and fads that shape the way a society thinks and acts. My question asks who or what determines what fad is hip at what time? This paper will explore the research done on the topic of the social engineering of fads and trends. The findings will show why we as consumers fall into the trap of going along with that is “in” at that moment, and also who and or what established these standards. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Humanities I Till’ Death Do Us Part... Literally Diamond Brown, PHI 401: Respect Seminar Faculty Mentor: Professor John Draeger, Philosophy In 1988, the case State of Kansas v. Stewart declared Peggy Stewart, a woman who killed her husband Michael Stewart while he was sleeping, not guilty because of persistent domestic abuse. In the eyes of the court, Stewart was a moral monster not deserving the most basic protections or respect. Kant argues that all people, regardless of status or sin, deserve the basic level of respect but should also be held accountable for their actions. On this view, Peggy Stewart’s actions were justified because Michael Stewart as a rational agent was aware of his action and respect for him requires holding him responsible. Utilitarianism, by contrast, argues that individuals can be punished to better society. On this view, the world is better without him. This project argues that it can be justifiable for women to kill their abusers. Presentation Type and Session: Poster IV Humanities Two Short Weeks In the REAL Emerald City: How Does Study Abroad Affect Learning? Maureen Vitali, HON 400: All College Honors Colloquium Faculty Mentor: Professor Andrea Guiati, Director, All College Honors Program Before traveling to Ireland, I had a very set view on what the country was like and what it stood for. I pictured acres upon acres of rolling green hills, roaring pubs, and an abundance of fiddles and Irish dancers. However, when I got to Ireland, I realized there was much more to it. The most shocking aspect about Ireland was the extent to which the Great Potato Famine was represented and remembered. I had studied the famine in middle school and high school, but I never truly understood the degree of the heartache it caused until I experienced it in Ireland. My trip to the Kilmainham Gaol and my study of the art throughout Dublin and Belfast serve as my primary research for this presentation. My main objective was to experience first-hand the value of a study tour, and to explore why it is different than traditional in-class learning. I have also interviewed a number of students and professors who have studied abroad. I have analyzed how their experience enhanced their educational journey and shaped their lives in ways that in-class learning could never accommodate. The results will be incorporated into my presentation. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Social Sciences Why Nike Is Winning Jeremy Mountain, COM 450: Communication and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication With the evolution of team sports, came an evolution in equipment and uniforms. Since the 1960’s companies like Nike have taken the function of sports uniforms and equipment, branded them, and worked to make these brands as staples of different sports. Having the right shoe, socks, ball, sweatband, etc. is now “a part of the game.” Both professional and amateur players have come to represent the sponsoring brand. This is clear in an earnings release from Dec. 20 2011, “Athletes will always be our most important partners, and our brands will always be our strongest asset.” Nike, a branding pioneer, has become the model for success for other companies like Adidas and Under Armor, but remains atop the sports equipment industry as the hottest commodity. Through advertising, they apply an aura to their product, and encourage consumers to believe that a change occurs in anyone who dawns a pair of Nike sneakers. According to the company, “Our brands are a source of authentic emotional connections, and they offer the power and flexibility needed to create and convert growth to value our shareholders. When you put on the Nike brand you are an athlete, you can be an athlete, because you wear what athletes wear. This subconscious feeling of internal confidence when wearing the Nike brand evolves increasingly over time, nurtured by immense amounts of messages that Nike disseminates around the globe. This paper 91
92 Humanities examines how through engineering a mindset in athletes all around the world by connecting Nike with successful athletic achievement, Nike has transformed the athletes, and warped the way sports are played forever. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Humanities I The World Around Us: Advertising and Its Impact On Me Desiree Wiley, COM 450: Communication and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication Family is arguably the most important influence in a child’s life. Although this rings true, from pre-school years on to college years children spend most of their day outside of the home and away from their guardians. They are influenced heavily by the world around them. Their teachers, peers, celebrities, television, music, advertisements and more, all contribute to the culture each individual tries to fit in to. “The world is fast becoming a global marketplace controlled not by individual governments but by transnational conglomerates interested only in profit,” wrote Jean Kilbourne in her book, “Can’t buy my love.” The world we are living in is being controlled by big business. Their marketing strategies and advertisements are designed to target our inner most desires. One greatest desire, especially for women, is to be “beautiful.” I will focus on my experience in the pageantry and modeling world. My journey has been a long one, full of sad and happy moments. Looking into and exploring my life, I am now aware how advertising has had a huge impact on how I view myself, especially physically. I will revisit vivid memories of the past and explore the industry, contextualizing my memories within the framework of contemporary scholarship in the fields of communication and women’s studies. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Humanities I Yes, Master: The Subordination of Women In the Mass Media Victoria Palmiotto, COM 450: Communication and Society Faculty Mentor: Professor Michael Niman, Communication Today’s media is laced with representations of gender roles showing women as subservient to men. For example, my study of ten recent successive issues of Cosmopolitan magazine shows each issues has at least one cover-story headline offering women advice on how to better serve men—sexually and otherwise. Whether it is “50 Sex Moves: Thousands of men rank the hot and not so hot things you can do to their naked bodies,” or “What Men Want Most at 9PM,” the message is clear: a woman should focus on getting the attention of a man (or men) and keeping him (or them) satisfied. This type of message is particularly frightening in a world where countless women are sexually assaulted on a daily basis and deprived of basic human rights that men take for granted. My research documents the ways that various forms of media perpetuate the ethos of male dominance and female oppression and subservience. It also explores how these gender-biased messages are reflected in real life relationships. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Humanities II
