Ancient Rome And Modern Russia: A Comparative Analysis Of Propaganda And Statecraft During Times Of Conflict, Sydney Lynch

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

The careful study of trends in propaganda can provide dramatic insights into the political climate of a particular nation. Specifically, shifts in either the narrative or dissemination of propaganda during times of great conflict or domestic turmoil illuminate to outside audiences where the government feels there are possible weaknesses that could fracture and eventually destroy the security and legitimacy of their regime. Therefore, this paper investigates the Kremlin’s recent methods of propaganda and disinformation compared to those of Imperial Rome, allowing for a closer examination of these techniques. Overall, the comparative analysis of Imperial Roman and current Russian propaganda and …

Building A Better Security Force Assistance Brigade, William Bittner

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper examines the effectiveness of United States Army Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) in training and advising partner militaries while preserving conventional force readiness. A shortage of volunteers, the manpower demands of embedded security, and lack of a Congressional funding authority have made SFABs and the conventional force less ready for operations. These challenges will be analyzed through the lens of institutional theory to identify systemic threats to the viability of SFABs. This paper posits that an advisor career field should be created in response to an institutional aversion to non-combat roles. Further, the Army should eliminate or shrink …

Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes About Gender, Education, And Mathematical Aptitude: A Quantitative Study, Paige Barnett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Females and mathematics are often not grouped together due to the gender bias surrounding the two. Perhaps attending an all-girls high school has instilled a higher level of confidence in my own mathematical abilities than many women exhibit. The focus of my research is to examine preservice elementary teachers for their confidence levels in mathematics, as well as whether they hold a form of unconscious gender bias. I completed this research by developing a six-question survey instrument. The survey was administered in the spring and fall of 2023 to Math 245 and Math 246 classes, both of which are required …

Targeted Advertising: How Companies And Governments Are Weaponizing User Data Against The Consumer, Joseph Garneau

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

With the recent rise of a new digital age, many people are ditching more traditional methods of performing everyday tasks and replacing them with free and convenient online services. But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that sentiment holds true in terms of online services as well. Consumers pay for these online services with something much more valuable than money—their personal data. This paper explores how companies and governments present consumers with targeted advertisements, shows how targeted advertisements are inherently manipulative, and gives an example of one government and one company using …

The Case Of Santiago De Chile: Pedestrian Deaths, Neo-Liberal Urbanism, And Insufficient Traffic Policy Reform, Olivia Maurer

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Chile’s rate of road fatalities and pedestrian deaths has remained a global outlier, even as comparable states have reduced occurrences. Santiago, Chile’s capital and one of the most urbanized cities in Latin America, serves as a unique product of competing urban design ideologies put forth by democratic and authoritarian governments throughout the 20th century; and the social and economic stratification created has continued to present challenges for solving urban planning issues in modern Santiago. Recent adjustments in traffic laws have begun a reduction in road fatalities, but they still do not account for the discrepancy between Chile and other states. …

Link’S Sword Is Mightier Than The Pen: Composing And Performing In The Super Mario And Legend Of Zelda Series, William Nelson

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Player interaction has largely defined video games and their concomitant music. Since Pong (1972), players have exercised agency over both in-game events and, by extension, the sounds that accompany them. In this paper, I explore ways in which the “authorial agency” of the player is reflected musically in Nintendo’s Super Mario (1985–) and The Legend of Zelda (1986–) series. Through earcons and other interactive audio, players are able to influence the musical architecture of video games. I begin by considering the indeterminacy of video games as a medium and their consequently indeterminate musical elements. I then examine earcons and the …

Cultural Imperialism In The Roman Empire: A Give And Take Relationship Between Imperial Rome And Provincial/External Cultures, Hailey Smith

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

The Roman Empire is often credited with being highly culturally influential both in its time and in later cultural contexts. However, the cultural aspects of art, politics, militarism, etc. for which the Roman Empire is known are the result of interactions between the imperial regime and external entities. The history of the Roman Empire is well documented, but few historians have analyzed the role of conquered cultures and foreign parties on the cultural evolution of Rome. To address these overlooked dynamics between existing cultural groups and their influences on each other, I explore the concepts of ethnicity and framework provided …
