The community members define diversity broadly beyond race, are ambivalent about its presence in their community, and …

Exploring Acculturation Stress On Mexican Americans, Daniel Anthony Lopez
Theses Digitization Project
The focus of this study was how common acculturation stress is among Mexican Americans, what the demographics of this demonstrate, and how this is related to mental health services. Acculturation is the process of adapting to the social norms, customs, and values of another culture.

Even when faced with this prospect, few Mexican Americans seek out mental health services.

Images Of Sub-Saharan Africa And Africans In Western Media, Cherice Joyann Estes
Theses Digitization Project
This study will show that news coverage of Africa is very limited and not proportional to either the continent's population or the number of African countries. Popular culture tends to portray Africa and Africans as primitive and uncivilized. This thesis will show how these representations have severe political consequences in a case study of the Rwandan Genocide. The Western media's portrayal of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide was mischaracterized by the use of old colonial tropes that facilitated western countries' failure to act.
