The Role Of Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communication On Enhancing Cultural Awareness, Elizabeth Zeiss, Christina Isabelli
The Role Of Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communication On Enhancing Cultural Awareness, Elizabeth Zeiss, Christina Isabelli
Scholarship
This study investigates the effect of CMC participation on language learners’ willingness to learn more about the target culture through study abroad. Also, it seeks to discern whether CMCactivities improve language learners’ self-perception that they have learned more about the target culture. An experimental group of 23 U.S. university students engaged in CMC with Mexican university students with a control group of 38 students from the U.S. university. We administered a questionnaire grouped thematically around seven topics. The data suggest that CMC may have a more positive effect on the acquisition of cultural awareness of students that engage in CMC …

If: Poems From The Unstandardized Perspective, Douglas Pietrzak '05
If: Poems From The Unstandardized Perspective, Douglas Pietrzak '05
Honors Projects
When I was about six years old, I used to read a new sports book every week. The protagonist was always a five to twelve-year-old boy who was slightly dorky and had a minor quirk. Maybe he counted the number of seams on a baseball every morning, had an imaginary pet goldfish, or only wore blue shoes. He was also imaginative and interested in sports, most often baseball, but sometimes soccer. The boy usually went through a series of trials -raising money by painting a fence, helping his grandparents move to a new house, or teaching his little sister to …
Reforming The Stage And Screen: How Expectations, Audiences, And Economics Shaped The Film And Theatre Censorship Movements In Early-1930s New York, Jenna Simpson '05
Reforming The Stage And Screen: How Expectations, Audiences, And Economics Shaped The Film And Theatre Censorship Movements In Early-1930s New York, Jenna Simpson '05
Honors Projects, History
Nineteen thirty-four: it was a year that changed Hollywood history. After decades of studio production codes, agitation for censorship, and broken promises, in the spring and summer of 1934 prominent reform groups organized and banded together to threaten a boycott strong enough to cripple the massive Hollywood complex itself. Major studios, already in difficult financial straits because of Depression losses and debts left over from theater building and the recent conversion to sound, were cowed at the possibility of a massive consumer boycott. They agreed (not for the first time) to abide by a strict code of"movie morals," and this …
Climbing Down The Ladder: Inwardness And Abstraction In Wittgenstein's Philosophy With Reference To Kierkegaard, Lisa Hoelle '05
Climbing Down The Ladder: Inwardness And Abstraction In Wittgenstein's Philosophy With Reference To Kierkegaard, Lisa Hoelle '05
Honors Projects
Both Soren Kierkegaard and Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that there are some truths, located beyond the boundaries of rational understanding, which cannot be communicated directly to others. Wittgenstein was influenced by his reading of Kierkegaard's texts on these matters, and accordingly he, like Kierkegaard, has a place in his philosophy for the importance of inwardness in knowing paradoxical truths. A move of 'inwardness,' for Kierkegaard, is an action that requires a personal and absolute belief that can't be explained directly to others, while 'paradoxical truths', as Kierkegaard uses the phrase, refers to propositions that we regard as incomprehensible but true (one …
Hume's Objection To The Thomistic Doctrine On Suicide, Emily M. Kelahan '05
Hume's Objection To The Thomistic Doctrine On Suicide, Emily M. Kelahan '05
Honors Projects
In "Of Suicide," David Hume argues against the dominant Thomistic doctrine on suicide. Thomas Aquinas, in Summa Theologica, I-IL Q64, Art 5, argues that suicide is morally impermissible because it violates three kinds of duties: one's duty to God, to others, and to oneself. Arguing from within the Thomistic framework, Hume exposes the inconsistencies of Aquinas's theory and refutes Aquinas's arguments against suicide. In this paper I look at only the arguments concerning the ways in which suicide violates a duty to God. My strategy is as follows. First, I argue that G.R. McLean's interpretation of Hume in his paper …
Through Their Eyes: Buffalo Bill's Wild West As A Drawing Table For American Identity, Katherine White '05
Through Their Eyes: Buffalo Bill's Wild West As A Drawing Table For American Identity, Katherine White '05
Honors Projects, History
For the last quarter of the 19th century, in places such as New York, Chicago, California, London, Georgia, even in smaller towns like Bloomington, Illinois, Wild West shows were the "it" thing. Presented to crowds of 20,000 and more, they were spine-tingling, rip-roaring sensations not to be missed, if nothing else, for the sake of a story to tell a grandchild fifty years later. As the harsh, open expanses of the American West closed in with the heavy footsteps of manifest destiny, the "character building" quality of Western land and Western life found a new home in Wild West shows …
Building A Viable Muslim Community In Central Illinois: The Development And Implementation Of Acculturation Strategies At The Islamic Center Of Bloomington-Normal, Daniel Glade '05
Building A Viable Muslim Community In Central Illinois: The Development And Implementation Of Acculturation Strategies At The Islamic Center Of Bloomington-Normal, Daniel Glade '05
Honors Projects
Developments in the American Muslim community over the last thirty years reveal a notable shift from individualist responses towards the exigencies of survival in a hostile foreign environment to a more community-based attempt to build a viable and lively Islamic environment in the United States. This shift was made possible by three factors including the expansion of Westem Islam through immigration and conversion in recent years, changing American popular attitudes towards Muslims, and developments abroad-particularly in the native countries of immigrant communities. Although responses to changing conditions vary both geographically and situationally, most Muslim communities have responded with some form …
Normative Failure In Blackburn's Ruling Passions, William R. Porter '05
Normative Failure In Blackburn's Ruling Passions, William R. Porter '05
Honors Projects
In Ruling Passions, Simon Blackburn advances an ethical theory that welds his quasi-realism to a Humean-Smithean theory of moral sentiments. This paper concerns the latter Humean side of Blackburn's theory, specifically Blackburn's attempt to provide a normative ethical theory. This attempt largely involves getting over the tallest obstacle to any defender of Hume: the famous sensible knave problem.
