Viewed Through New Lenses : A Comparative Study Of Young Girls Growing Up In Madison, Indiana, And Louisville, Kentucky, During World War Ii., Michella M. Marino 1982-
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents the view of World War II, a watershed event in U.S. history, through the lenses of a group that is not normally called upon, that of young children. The war was viewed by and affected young girls differently than others. Granted, some aspects of the war affected all people in a similar fashion, regardless of age and gender. This study, however, focuses on girls born between the years of 1929 and 1936, with the goal of describing the experience of children in two communities by determining what factors do and do not affect that experience and thereby …
The Rebirth Of Consciousness, Urszula Blaszak
The Rebirth Of Consciousness, Urszula Blaszak
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human beings encounter cascades of a plethora of experiences, one after another, every single microsecond of our lives. There are many things happening around. The world is full of events and occurrences. As they happen, the mind reacts to every individual input. This is a very exhausting and difficult. Thus, people have developed a process of self-defense against this horrible mishmash of information. Their minds have this amazing capacity of sorting them out and making sense out of them. Humankind's survival depends on that. If one does not sort all this information out, one might not be able to make …
The Illusion Of Art: My Amalgamation Of Illustration And Contemporary Art, Victor Davila
The Illusion Of Art: My Amalgamation Of Illustration And Contemporary Art, Victor Davila
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Drawing on archetypical aspects of human characteristics and personalities, I create images that illustrate our connection to memory, media, and culture. My work is informed by pop culture, including television, movies, cartoons and comic books as it relates to characters in our own physical world and society. The grid is used to represent both childhood games and the frames of a comic strip, where each panel equals an exact moment of time.
Differentiated Instruction In The Elementary School: Investigating The Knowledge Elementary Teachers Possess When Implementing Differentiated Instruction In Their Classrooms, Elizabeth Adlam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Changes of the make up of student population from that which is monolingual and mono-cultural to that which is multilingual and multicultural necessitate that teachers be more responsive to the needs of this diverse student population. One way to ensure diverse students' needs are met is to implement differentiated instruction. Using a survey, this study investigated teachers' knowledge about differentiation; how often teachers differentiate in specific subject areas; and factors that help or hinder the implementation of differentiated instruction. Study results that are critical to the way teachers address diversity through differentiated instruction are that the majority of the teachers …
Adaptive Technomythography: The Apotheosis Of Machine And Development Of Legend In A System Of Dynamic Technology, Roger Wolf
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human beings will effectively deify any suitably complex system that cannot be explained through basic haptic interaction. Our culture loves technology. These days it seems we need it to feel whole. In an effort to explore the development of mythology and modular aesthetic in a technological age I have designed and constructed a number of interactive robotic 'organisms' to engage in arbitrary movement in geometric enclosures. Through observation and dialog I seek to assess the extent to which people assign human characteristics to the random and oft times aberrant mechanical behavior. To supplement this endeavor, a fictional astrological system that …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
'egress & hyphen' collects 52 poems, written during 2005-2007, and a poetics essay addressing the collection's themes of isolation, the urban landscape, digital culture, and interpersonal relationships.

The work is characterized by a sense of play and experimentation, and by the shifting landscape of the visual surface of the page.
