Praise And Prejudice: American Attitudes Toward Japan In Uncle Ben, Anna Nielsen, Rachel Baron, Emily Orton
Praise And Prejudice: American Attitudes Toward Japan In Uncle Ben, Anna Nielsen, Rachel Baron, Emily Orton
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Uncle Ben in Japan is a 1933 geographical workbook intended to teach American schoolchildren about Japan. This text highlights both positive and negative American attitudes towards Japan in the 1930s. Although this work expresses certain views progressive for its time, it also contains evident assumptions of American national superiority.
Looking For Truth: Dissecting Tales Of Fijian Cannibals, Brandon Olsen, Sarah Jamarillo, May Harrington
Looking For Truth: Dissecting Tales Of Fijian Cannibals, Brandon Olsen, Sarah Jamarillo, May Harrington
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
After Europeans encountered Fiji in the eighteenth century, the islands quickly gained fame for having cannibal tribes. Captain James Cook, an early explorer of the Pacific islands, describes the Fijian natives as an “addicted people, eating their enemies, whom they kill in the battle”(Banivanua-Mar 26). The people had a culture of war rituals, rivalry, and conflict between tribes that inspired cannibalistic rumors. Those that visited Fiji spread wild tales that the westerners eagerly devoured. Under analysis, these stories lack compelling evidence to claim the Europeans and Americans met Fijian cannibals and instead tell more about the society the tales come …

Depression, Religiosity, And Parenting Styles Among Mormon Adolescents, Courtney Kinneard, Mark Ogletree
Depression, Religiosity, And Parenting Styles Among Mormon Adolescents, Courtney Kinneard, Mark Ogletree
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
We examined how religiosity and the parent-child relationship are associated with depression in 12-14 yr old teenagers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint. A random sample of 493 revealed three correlations: girls who have a strong connection with their mother have a negative correlation with depression; daily spiritual experiences are negatively correlated with depression, and negative religious coping is positively correlated with depression symptoms.
In The World But Not Of It: Responses Of Lds Leaders To The Vietnam War, Luke Miller
In The World But Not Of It: Responses Of Lds Leaders To The Vietnam War, Luke Miller
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
This poster presents a summary of original research based on public addresses given by LDS leaders during the Vietnam War era. It identifies and describes four different ideological perspectives on the Vietnam War that high-ranking LDS leaders publicly advocated during these years. Given the enormous amount of influence that LDS leaders in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve have over Mormons, an analysis of their views is critical to understanding the beliefs and opinions of LDS members. Understanding the main points of agreement and disagreement among LDS leaders serves as a starting point to elucidate the evolution …
Imagining A Controversy: The Taft-Katsura Memorandum In Korean History Comic Books, Joseph Seeley, Kirk Larsen
Imagining A Controversy: The Taft-Katsura Memorandum In Korean History Comic Books, Joseph Seeley, Kirk Larsen
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
For generations of North and South Koreans, the 1905 Taft-Katsura Memorandum or "secret treaty" has been emblematic of the U.S. decision to support the Japanese annexation of Korea around the turn of the twentieth century. Although scholars of early Korean-US relations consistently point out that Taft never called the Memorandum anything more than his "personal opinion," these academic objections have had little impact on how the Memorandum has been remembered by generations of Koreans. By distilling complex historical nuance into concise, visually appealing vignettes, comic book histories of the Taft-Katsura Memorandum in both North and South Korea seem to exert …
English Tourists In The Georgian Period: A Cultural And Leisure Pursuit, Whitney Metcalf, Amanda Jeffs, Karina Jackson, Susan Rugh
English Tourists In The Georgian Period: A Cultural And Leisure Pursuit, Whitney Metcalf, Amanda Jeffs, Karina Jackson, Susan Rugh
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
During the Georgian period (1714-1830), the upper-middle class joined the aristocracy in the world of travel and vacation. The wealthy merchant class began vacationing to new fashionable resort towns such as Bath. The authors of the time popularized the English countryside in their writings for England’s new vacationers as well. Furthermore, the aristocracy began reaching outside of England to the Continent for trips of art, culture, and intellectual stimulation. The Georgian period, in essence, introduced the upper-middle class to leisure vacations, made the English countryside fashionable for tourists, and broadened the reach of the aristocratic vacation to continental Europe’s rich …
Marketing To The Middle Class: Tourism In The 20th Century, Abby Wheatley, Emily Melear, Candace Workman, Brynn Riley
Marketing To The Middle Class: Tourism In The 20th Century, Abby Wheatley, Emily Melear, Candace Workman, Brynn Riley
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Advertisements and promotional material from the 1950s to the present give unique historical insight into American middle class travel patterns. We researched how advertising of Route 66, State Slogans, Colorado Ski towns, and the Walt Disney Company focused on marketing experiences to families as opposed to marketing the site location itself. We aim to discover how advertising portrays a certain image and whether that portrayal is accurate with the experience in reality.

International Travel: Economic Effects Of Government Intervention, Adam Brady, Whitney Thomas, Jenna Wilkin, Patty Eliason
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Because tourism affects many aspects of a countries economy, governments play an important role in promoting and preparing their countries for tourism. Using Haiti and China, as well as the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the epidemic outbreaks of SARS and the Swine Flu, we can see the role each government takes in regards to tourism and the economy of each country. In Haiti, we see the role America plays in rebuilding the country, both physically, after the earthquake in January 2010, and politically, by offering support to the Haitian government and stopping military coups. Tourism would bring money to …

Symbols Of The French Revolution, Bill Cichoski, Angela Rice, Philip Greenan, Elisa Visick
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
During the French Revolution, France as a nation did not exist yet. There were many different ethnic and linguistic groups that had to be united in order to form the France that we know today. To bridge the divide between the different regions of France and the different classes involved in the Revolution, symbols were used to convey certain ideals. The liberty cap, the tricolor flag, Marianne, and other symbols became important in the spread of Revolutionary ideas. Our research aims to show that these symbols served an important role in creating a national identity in France.

Important Travelers In The Civil Rights Movement, Mark D. Lowe, Sharon Jensen, Mark Fitu, Susan Rugh
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
For African Americans, much of the twentieth-century was a long and grueling battle for civil rights. Racial violence and inequality were everywhere, and traveling was no exception. After World War II, and continuing through the following decades, black travelers were often denied service at restaurants, bathrooms, motels, and even amusement parks and beaches. This made it hard for blacks, regardless of status, to travel and to enjoy may forms of recreation. However, these difficult travel experiences allowed many African Americans to make a difference in the fight for equality.

Preservation And Tourism: The Story Of National Parks And Monuments, Amber Montes, Liz Smith, Susan Rugh
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
The Antiquities Act was passed on June 8, 1906. The Act enables the president to restrict the use of public land owned by the federal government for national monuments without getting congressional approval. The Act limits the land to the smallest area that will allow for proper care. This has been broadly interpreted and has caused much controversy. The Act has been enabled more than 100 times. In August of 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill that created the National Parks Service. The act charged the agency to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects . . …

Peasants And The Russian Revolution: The Affects Of The Russian Peasantry On The Revolutionary Outcomes Of The Revolution Of 1917, Katie Stuart, Jessica Godfrey, Zachariah Young, Elsa Nickerson
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
The Russian Revolution was one of the most influential events in the twentieth century. It created a state that was far different than any other in the world at the time. The Bolsheviks that came into power used high-minded rhetoric to garner support for their cause. This project examines the relationships between the communist movers and shakers that fought for the proletarians and the rural peasants of Russia. Our study seeks to understand how peasants that did not fit within the Marxist model were able to influence the revolutionary outcomes of the Russian Revolution. This is a study of the …
The Attraction Of Thanatourism, Kristen Oviatt, Johanna Goodrich, Kristy Tidwell, Susan Rugh
The Attraction Of Thanatourism, Kristen Oviatt, Johanna Goodrich, Kristy Tidwell, Susan Rugh
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
From the emotional messages, the memorials, to the graphic images and memories evoked at the 9/11 Memorial, Holocaust Museum, and display of the Enola Gay, dark tourism exhibits a far reaching impact on the human race. It has the energy and influence to bring people together emotionally and unite them in remembrance of a people, place, and event. Dark tourism is an attraction of its own. In this study we have taken a random sampling of individuals from around the United States centering on their eagerness to visit three places of interest of thanatourism. These places are the 9/11 Memorial, …
