- Title
- Causes of Terrorism.
- Creator
- Hamad, Issa, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description
-
With the growing trends in terrorist organizations and threats of attack, one must wonder why the people involved became terrorists in the first place. After researching the topic, the research paper will delve into why capitalism, political power, and religion are all involved in why terrorist organizations are formed and why people may join them. The capitalism argument involves the correlation between its rise and terrorism’s ride, and how the battle for resources may cause some to resort...
Show moreWith the growing trends in terrorist organizations and threats of attack, one must wonder why the people involved became terrorists in the first place. After researching the topic, the research paper will delve into why capitalism, political power, and religion are all involved in why terrorist organizations are formed and why people may join them. The capitalism argument involves the correlation between its rise and terrorism’s ride, and how the battle for resources may cause some to resort to terrorism. Political power’s argument will involve how protesters and debaters of how someone may lead their country, may lead them to resort to terrorism. Religion’s argument involves belief that they are being discriminated against because of their religion, and they want to be heard. Then, I will introduce a study where I will identify people who publicly identify as Muslim, or Arabic.

- Meagher, Jesse, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description
-
This literature review will analyze the relationship between media usage and alcohol and tobacco consumption. Elementary school students, high school students, college students, and groups of different races will be analyzed. It is evident that as media influence increases in the life of the participant, alcohol and tobacco use also tends to increase. Youth should be taught to analyze the societal influences that affect them so they are not deceived about societal norms. Further research...

It is evident that as media influence increases in the life of the participant, alcohol and tobacco use also tends to increase. Youth should be taught to analyze the societal influences that affect them so they are not deceived about societal norms. Further research should be conducted to identify whether social media use affects men and woman differently in order to get a better view on how men and women perceive societal messages sent to them.

- Potential Influences of Rape Myth Acceptance in Police Judgement.
- Creator
- Branscum, Caralin, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description
-
I explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed. A conclusion that can be drawn is that, police officers endorse few rape myths that affect their judgement in recommending...
Show moreI explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed. A conclusion that can be drawn is that, police officers endorse few rape myths that affect their judgement in recommending cases. However, another study demonstrates that cases that do not go to court also correlate with negative experiences between the victim and officer. I explore a possible explanation that would suggest rape myth acceptance plays a more influential role in policing than previous studies suggest. Lastly, I conclude with general weaknesses in existing literature as well as potential areas of further study.

- Abstract/Description

This paper will use various sociological publications based on research to investigate and analyze the relationship between medical practitioners and patients deemed terminal. Some topics the paper will include how prepared practitioners feel they are in terms of interacting with terminal patients, as well as the personal methods of coping with grief that practitioners implement into their private lives and their effects on the professional lives of practitioners. There will also be questions...
Show moreThis paper will use various sociological publications based on research to investigate and analyze the relationship between medical practitioners and patients deemed terminal. Some topics the paper will include how prepared practitioners feel they are in terms of interacting with terminal patients, as well as the personal methods of coping with grief that practitioners implement into their private lives and their effects on the professional lives of practitioners. There will also be questions raised regarding how the preparation of practitioners both in and out of medical school can be improved or built on to ensure patient satisfaction and enhanced interactions between the practitioner and their patient.

- The American Family…As Seen on TV?.
- Creator
- Weisler, Joseph, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description
-
The public sphere has been long- saturated with the spectacle. Among the most prominent form of the spectacle on television is noted through infamous family sitcoms that work to explain the dynamics of family life. Sociologists have long questioned the role of the family, working to define it as an evolving institution. This qualitative deductive research study seeks to examine American family life and how it is sociologically interpreted on the screen. Using the sitcoms “Full House” to...
Show moreThe public sphere has been long- saturated with the spectacle. Among the most prominent form of the spectacle on television is noted through infamous family sitcoms that work to explain the dynamics of family life. Sociologists have long questioned the role of the family, working to define it as an evolving institution. This qualitative deductive research study seeks to examine American family life and how it is sociologically interpreted on the screen. Using the sitcoms “Full House” to examine the role of fathers in the family; “Step By Step” to evaluate the dynamic of step-family life; “George Lopez” and “One Day at a Time” to observe Latino-American life; “Black-ish” to understand the realities of Black-American life, and “Boy Meets World” to determine the ways in which education is responsible for shaping identity; this study works to embed and question the depictions of sitcoms into an analysis of American family life.
