Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: An Analysis Of A Potential Meme, Jo Howarth Noonan Aug 2007

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: An Analysis Of A Potential Meme, Jo Howarth Noonan

Communication Theses

The purpose of this study was to discover whether the phrase "men are from Mars, women are from Venus,” from John Gray’s book, had become a meme and to explore what its usage implied. Analysis of 510 references was guided by grounded theory. Coding over a decade of newspaper usage of the phrase into seven emergent themes allowed examination of usage against the theories of gender research, communication research, media research and meme theory research. This analysis revealed that this phrase meets the requirements to be considered a meme, and as a meme it has successfully assisted the survival, evolution …

Are Television News Programs Becoming Nothing More Than Infotainment?, Nicole Morell May 2007

Are Television News Programs Becoming Nothing More Than Infotainment?, Nicole Morell

Senior Honors Projects

The money driven, have-it-done-by-yesterday world Americans live in takes no prisoners, and television news is certainly no exception. Driven by profits and struggling to keep up with the busy American with a short attention span and even shorter amount of free time, it seems broadcast television news programs have resorted to a man bites dog, blood and guts, celebrity format. What many think of as news seems to be no more than a few attention grabbing headlines already digested and spit back out in a way that the viewer can understand. In order to get down to the real story …

The Portrayal Of Powerful Women In The Media, Kristin Milligan Apr 2007

The Portrayal Of Powerful Women In The Media, Kristin Milligan

Honors Projects in Communication

The purpose of this research is to investigate the portrayal of powerful women in the media and to gain a perspective of different ways the media tend to elaborate and focus on gender issues to a greater extent than the general public may think. I intend to demonstrate that powerful women are often portrayed unfairly in the media and that this could affect the progress they make in their careers. I hypothesize that although women are making strides in the right direction, the often negative portrayal of powerful women in the media can be unwarranted and lead to the unfair …
