- A version of pluralistic ignorance seems to be in effect as well. When people see a lot of trash on the ground and they don’t see anyone else concerned about it, they may think there’s no reason to be concerned, making them more likely to add their own trash to the environment around them. Habituation also has a part in this issue. As people see litter everyday, almost everywhere they go, their responses to it are reduced, and they eventually become used to it. They may forget that littering is even a problem that has to be addressed and fixed. Diffusion of responsibility plays a role as well. If people believe that others will take action and clean up their trash, they may feel like littering is ok because someone else will clean it later. (1)
- ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSE To I AM – URI UNITY IN DIFFERENCE STUDENT EQUITY CONFERENCE 2010 (1)
- Academia and Student Affairs o Currently the academic curriculum is not interdisciplinary, inclusive and/or concerned about educating our future graduates about cultural awareness o Certain courses such as URI 101, COM 100, and several other general education requirements are again not reflective of a university that is “thinking big.” Such courses lack dialogue, diversity, equity and inclusion nor do they reflect the vision and mission of the university which directly impacts the culture of our institution o Currently, URI is lacking in creating conditions necessary for all campus community members to feel welcomed, supported, included, and valued by the university and each other o Currently the Greek systems are not implementing diversity/inclusion in their activities to educate the larger campus community and this again reflects the lack of awareness in their recruitment processes o Diversity is lacking immensely and it is not practical to celebrate it in a week at URI (i.e., Diversity Week) o URI lacks a unifying culture and stories or traditions that can be shared by community members to encourage dialogue and transformative communication among students o Lack of training among student staff, faculty, staff, and administration is a crucial issue, which is a threat to the greater campus community and diversity o Students in certain respective majors and disciplines are currently held to different standards with regards to general education requirements and do not have an opportunity to learn about issues of diversity and inclusion o While the orientation program is sufficient in getting the job done by informing students about the values, mission, academic and social future of this university, it lacks in collectively and accurately depicting how we hold our students accountable and further the sort of students this university values and needs (1)

- As a result they shoulder the burden of the cost of living. Similarly students from households with limited budgets are often unable to afford housing. While payment plans are an option, they are not feasible for most students with significant financial constraints In-hall staff, specifically Residential Assistants whom are often experienced as unsupportive when implementing departmental procedures for room changes. RA serve as “gatekeepers” for room request changes and request tangible proof of or justification for residents’ desire to change room. The expectation that LGBT students, students of color, and students from other marginalized groups quantify their experiences of hostility, bigotry, or general lack of acceptance is unjust Students have felt that the in-hall staff members with whom they most closely interact, namely Residential Assistants are under educated about underrepresented populations and their role in making residence halls affirming for all students There is a general need to revitalize the campus community’s efforts to address issues of multiculturalism, inclusion, and diversity. The office of Housing and Residential Life is in a unique position to facilitate student growth and leadership. (1)

- Campaign aimed at cleaning up the campus environment Phase one of the clean up of the University of Rhode Island campus would begin with an addition of numerous trash cans and recycling bins, spanning all around the campus as a whole. Then a vast amount of flyers supporting throwing away trash and recycling would be posted in numerous classrooms, bathrooms, hallways, walkways, offices, bus stops, and all over the campus grounds. These signs would incorporate positive messages to clean up after yourself, and include alarming statistics to make students more wise to the urgent issue at hand. These signs would help to raise awareness of the problem and get more students to throw away their trash. After phase one is completed phase two would begin. Phase two would incorporate the use of numerous volunteers. Volunteers would come from various places such as environmental groups on campus, and the URI 101 course, which calls for community service hours to be completed. We would also advertise the community service opportunity so anyone willing and wanting to help out could be included. With these volunteers we would hold various fund-raising drives. We would hold a benefit concert, with all profits going to our cause. We would sell raffle tickets and raffle off a sum of money, and use the left over funds for (1)

A Study Of Communication And Hispanic Cultural Values Within The Family, Gabrielle Lafond
A Study Of Communication And Hispanic Cultural Values Within The Family, Gabrielle Lafond
Senior Honors Projects
Every human being has a unique communication style, which has often been carefully and significantly molded by family members during their upbringing. Cultural variations in those communication styles are common because different ethnic groups possess their own standards or values for what constitutes effective and appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication. For my project, I focused on communication patterns and cultural values practiced by young adults within Hispanic families, specifically regarding the concepts of familism, respect, and conflict. Familism is a value often associated with Hispanic families and it revolves around the notion that family is paramount in a person’s life. …

From Eye Sore To Eye Catching: Improving Function And Appeal Of Campus Spaces, Katherine E. Gorham
Senior Honors Projects
An interior space has a lot of power over an individual. It can dictate one’s mood, efficiency, confidence, and more. Most people can recall a time when a room had a negative effect on their mindset and productivity level due to its lack of color, light, or comfort. A functional, well lit, warm space makes for an uplifting and motivating work environment. Throughout my college career, I have encountered several spaces across the University of Rhode Island campus that aren’t the most visually appealing, comfortable, or inspiring, yet they still have plenty of potential. The goal of my project was …

I entered into this project with an interest in exploring this relationship after witnessing the impacts of such violence in the lives of people around me. I hoped to gain a deeper understanding of why sexual violence affects social behaviors in victims. It has been my intent to utilize the platform of my project to bring to light underrepresented facts about such violence. Furthermore, I hope this project provides a …

Cheaper By The Dozen: Communication In Large Families, Hayley R. Hutchins
Senior Honors Projects
Little research has been devoted to the examination of communicative patterns and behaviors within traditional large nuclear families. In fact, large families themselves have become quite rare in industrialized western society. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, total fertility rate in the United States is at 1.93, and the US Census Bureau reports that the average number of children in a family is less than two. Though the rarity of large families has made them difficult to study, large families are by no means extinct as a demographic.
The research herein seeks to expand current understanding of …

Distance Education And Community Learning Networks Linked By A Library Of Culture, Joseph A. Santiago
Distance Education And Community Learning Networks Linked By A Library Of Culture, Joseph A. Santiago
Student Affairs Digital Community Development
Humans are relational beings with their modeled behavior as practical examples of cultural routines that they hear, see, read, and assemble on their own from communal pieces of information to answer the needs of their everyday lives (Bandura, & Jeffrey, 1973). Yet few researchers have looked at the differing synthesis of culture and generally assume that others share similar ideas/values that lead to particular events and worldviews (Lillard, p.5 1998). Informational and cultural contact zones can be created to support CLNs, universities, and individuals in a variety of roles to encourage their interactions so they might design, and challenge the …

Organizing For Community Benefit: Anti-Gentrification Effort In Providence, Ri, Katiuska Pérez
Senior Honors Projects
Throughout my college experience I didn’t really gain any basic foundation on how to organize and work with a group of people in a collective effort. I thought the best way to learn these skills in such a short amount of time would be to work with an organization that has been campaigning for positive social change for many years. I was referred to DARE (Direct Action for Rights and Equality) in Providence. I approached the director of the organization, Sara Mersha, and shared with her what I wanted to gain from a possible internship in her organization. She gave …

The Family Status Of Chinese Women - The Past And The Present, Shao Jirong
The Family Status Of Chinese Women - The Past And The Present, Shao Jirong
Student Affairs Digital Community Development
For centuries, Chinese women enjoyed no freedom in marriage but had to obey the dictates of their parents and heed the words of matchmakers (arranged marriage). Once she got married, she could not divorce her husband, but only be divorced by him. Besides, she was not allowed to remarry if her husband died. Traditionally, a married woman is expected to live with her husband’s family. When the husband has to live away from his family, however, she has to stay with her in-laws and take care of them. Men thus suffer chronic separation from their wives, such as …
