Many Faiths, One Beginning: Universality In Norse, Maya, Greek And Celtic Faiths

Symposium of Student Scholars

Numerous religious faiths have pervaded the world for much of known human history, but these belief systems often have significant variation in their core tenets, especially with those that have no contact. Religions which are in close proximity to one another tend to have some degree of syncretism, such as having comparable deities, due to having some transmission of their cultures. One group of similar base beliefs is the Indo-Europeans, with its members having been studied for parallels before. To contend with these previous studies, this project will look at the beliefs of the Norse, Greek, and Celtic cultures, all …

Kent State And Berkeley: Revolt And Re-Appropriation Of The Multiversity In The Spring Of 1970, Spencer Schwerdtfeger

Voces Novae

During the sixties and seventies, the American university underwent a radical transformation, forever altering the relationship between the students and the administration. This paper seeks to examine the relationship between students and the university at two large state universities, Berkeley and Kent State, and to examine how students at both institutions sought to reaffirm their power and re-appropriate the university in an increasingly depersonalized educational setting. The paper, which focuses on the spring of 1970 and the nation-wide student uprisings, looks at how student activists had both schools, utilized protests, writings, and other means to try and wrest power from …

An Analysis Of The Effects Of Cultural Expectations And Family Obligations On Latina Women Attending College, Valeria Bielma

M.A. in Leadership Studies: Capstone Project Papers

2018 Claremont Colleges Library Undergraduate Research Award

Situating the 1980s Cultural Fever in a global westernization context and as one of the three major waves of the Chinese intellectual movement in the last two centuries, this paper attempts to analyze the complexities and nuances of the cultural reckoning process in the mid-1980s by examining how such process is manifested in academia, a magazine called Reading, a TV-series documentary titled River Elegy (Heshang), and movie Red Sorghum (Honggaoliang).

It argues that the shift in Thailand’s economic policy portrayed the different ways in which the Thai state envisaged its geographical territory in relations to capital and human mobility. In the border SEZ project, the Thai borderland …

Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)

This article examines the journey of Central American and Mexican undocumented immigrants and the realities they had to face through written poetry. By examining this phenomenon, I explain the historical context of what caused the wave of Central American and Mexican immigration to the United States from the 1980s to 2000s. In addition, I focus on the experience of the undocumented immigrant through poetry that was made by both migrants and poets. By focusing on this theme we can understand the root of this migration and its social and economic consequences such as Femicide (violence against women), poverty, and an …

Married Love And Responsible Parenthood: Changing The Discussion On The Ethics Of Birth Control, Hannah Renner

Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)

The current framework in which The Catholic Church discusses birth control originates within a sexual ethic based on rules Christians are obligated to follow. After a careful, internal critique of the encyclical, there needs to be a change in this framework so that Christian sexual ethics is less focused on the rules and more focused on the values which Humanae Vitae embodies. These values are presently described as the unitive and procreative ends of marriage. However, with a transition from a rule-based sex ethic to a value-based sex ethic, these ends of marriage can be redefined in terms of married …
