Show moreThis research examines historic preservation, sustainability, and environmental hazards in the face of climate change in reference to World Heritage Sites; particularly focusing on the question: Can UNESCO World Heritage Sites be conserved and protected in the face of climate change and environmental hazards? There are 1,121 World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO and are categorized as cultural, natural, or a mix of both. The majority of these sites are at risk from different environmental hazards that could threaten their existence or long-term survival; however, policy initiatives can mitigate some of these impacts. It was discovered that every continental region, with the exception of Oceania, had a site considered to be the most vulnerable. There were 27 sites deemed most vulnerable, only 2.4% of the World Heritage Sites. Most of these sites were located along the Pacific Coasts of Asia, and both North and South America.

- THE WORLD UNBALANCED: THE THEME OF DISORDER IN THE SHORT STORIES OF FLANNERY O'CONNOR.
- Creator
- WERSHOVEN, CAROL JEAN., Florida Atlantic University, Pearce, Howard D.
- Abstract/Description
-
Flannery O'Connor's short stories often involve a moment of recognition/reversal in which an offering of grace is accompanied by a toppling of the protagonist's sense of social order. The protagonist, who considers himself in some way superior, may be "leveled" into a chaotic equality with all sinners, or he may find the tables turned on him: one who was "first" may become "last." Or both these things may happen to the same protagonist. Such protagonists may be Strong Women, who need to...
Show moreFlannery O'Connor's short stories often involve a moment of recognition/reversal in which an offering of grace is accompanied by a toppling of the protagonist's sense of social order. The protagonist, who considers himself in some way superior, may be "leveled" into a chaotic equality with all sinners, or he may find the tables turned on him: one who was "first" may become "last." Or both these things may happen to the same protagonist. Such protagonists may be Strong Women, who need to believe in an ordered world to maintain their security and status, or Intellectuals, who isolate themselves from the real world, or Displaced Persons, who experience disorder through displacement, or Dwellers in the Past or the Future, who attempt to escape disorder through a retreat into different time periods. Various devices in the stories, such as the double, irony, and symbols, heighten the sense of disorder.

- Worth the price: Sarah as hero in John Updike's "S.".
- Creator
- Hilton, Bonita Clarice., Florida Atlantic University, Coyle, William
- Abstract/Description

Sarah Price Worth is a hero in mythical and psychological terms. Her growth can be traced through her name changes within the novel: Sarah Price Worth/Kundalini/Rare Sarah. She leaves the Judeo-Christian belief system and enters an Eastern system in an ashram where yoga is practiced. Sarah's progress can be seen in terms of the stages of the heroic quest and archetypal imagery--in particular, the snake.

Show moreSarah Price Worth is a hero in mythical and psychological terms. Her growth can be traced through her name changes within the novel: Sarah Price Worth/Kundalini/Rare Sarah. She leaves the Judeo-Christian belief system and enters an Eastern system in an ashram where yoga is practiced. Sarah's progress can be seen in terms of the stages of the heroic quest and archetypal imagery--in particular, the snake. The novel's action suggests a parallel between chakra ascension and psychological growth in Jungian terms. Updike's "yes, but" tendency is at work in this novel: Yes, Sarah Price Worth is a bitch. But she is, nonetheless, a hero. As Sarah Price Worth and Kundalini, she has allowed men to be her gods, but Rare Sarah finds her own way. Through her earnest seeking, she succeeds in her quest.

- Would Lord Running Clam wear Wubfur slippers? The ethical imperative of empathy in the alternate ecologies of Philip K. Dick.
- Creator
- Aaronson, Russell S., Florida Atlantic University, Collins, Robert A., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
- Abstract/Description
-
Although critics have observed Philip K. Dick's references to empathy throughout his novels, short stories, and essays, no analysis has attempted to examine the role of empathy in his writings. In contrast to the element of ratiocination (or logical extrapolation) widely considered to be the hallmark of science fiction, Dick's fictions are held together by the value they primarily place not on reason, but on an empathic understanding of our actions and their effects upon the lives of other...
Show moreAlthough critics have observed Philip K. Dick's references to empathy throughout his novels, short stories, and essays, no analysis has attempted to examine the role of empathy in his writings. In contrast to the element of ratiocination (or logical extrapolation) widely considered to be the hallmark of science fiction, Dick's fictions are held together by the value they primarily place not on reason, but on an empathic understanding of our actions and their effects upon the lives of other entities. Using two early short stories ("Beyond Lies the Wub" and "Roog"), two non-Earth ecologies (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Dr. Bloodmoney). I will demonstrate that Dick's works are united by an ethical imperative to understand the thoughts and emotions of others, human and nonhuman alike.

- Writing across the curriculum: Implications for preservice teacher education.
- Creator
- Kamman, Carol, Florida Atlantic University, Childrey, John, Arnov, Boris
- Abstract/Description

Potentially, the most important response to widespread criticism about the quality of writing and writing instruction is Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC). WAC can mean a total immersion in writing, horizontally in all departments and vertically at all grade levels. It can encompass current writing theory, but only if teachers understand such theory and can apply it. WAC theory must be incorporated into the entire process of professional preparation. WAC philosophy believes that (a) writing...
Show morePotentially, the most important response to widespread criticism about the quality of writing and writing instruction is Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC). WAC can mean a total immersion in writing, horizontally in all departments and vertically at all grade levels. It can encompass current writing theory, but only if teachers understand such theory and can apply it. WAC theory must be incorporated into the entire process of professional preparation. WAC philosophy believes that (a) writing can be learned and should be taught, (b) writing is a way to clarify thought, (c) writing is a way to learn, and (d) writing is a complex, individualized process. This understanding is required to teach in a successful WAC program. The literature offers little evidence that schools of education feel a responsibility to emphasize writing and writing instruction at the preservice level. Therefore, a study was initiated to survey the eight Florida schools of education that are members of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) for the purpose of determining practices and perceptions regarding WAC. This descriptive research called for two survey questionnaires, which invited responses from 8 administrators and 250 secondary education students and tested 11 hypotheses. These hypotheses related to required courses for writing and writing instruction, student understanding of WAC theory, student perception of WAC status, level of student confidence to write and use writing, student willingness to become writing teachers, and student perception of the importance of writing. The remainder of the study recommends a required preservice course in WAC for all future teachers and suggests some components that course should contain.

- Writing in Borges's "Garden": The lively performances of John Barth and Maxine Hong Kingston.
- Creator
- Scala, Virginia M. D., Florida Atlantic University, Faraci, Mary
- Abstract/Description
-
This thesis is a comparative study of John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse and Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, based on the imagery and theme of Borges's "forking paths." Both authors are indebted to Borges's work for providing the experimental narrative devices that made it possible for them to challenge their "ghosts." In Barth's case, he loses himself in the Funhouse, haunted by the "same old stories" (102); Kingston finds her voice in the Chinese stories and shocking images of the...
Show moreThis thesis is a comparative study of John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse and Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, based on the imagery and theme of Borges's "forking paths." Both authors are indebted to Borges's work for providing the experimental narrative devices that made it possible for them to challenge their "ghosts." In Barth's case, he loses himself in the Funhouse, haunted by the "same old stories" (102); Kingston finds her voice in the Chinese stories and shocking images of the past. The thesis will work toward a presentation of the dramatic performances and brilliant images in Barth's Lost in the Funhouse and in Kingston's The Woman Warrior. Readers become players who surrender their conventional notions about narrative in Borges's "Garden of the Forking Paths." Fortunately, the writing of Barth and Kingston continues to keep storytelling a lively art where time and memory are the main characters.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to describe the ways in which secondary English, mathematics, science and social studies teachers utilize writing as an instructional methodology. Conclusions: 1. Although they consider writing important to success in their disciplines, high school teachers in the four major content areas do not frequently assign writing as an instructional activity. 2. Assigned writing is brief and consists primarily of exposition and reporting given fer the purpose of extending and/or expanding in-class activities. 3. Writing instruction is done through in-class supervision of the writing process, but outlining, revision/rewriting, and correcting errors are seldom used as teaching techniques. 4. Teachers are concerned with content more than form in commenting on student writing and in evaluating that writing. 5. The teaching of writing is seen primarily as the responsibility of the English teacher by both teachers and students. 6. Note-taking is the most widespread non-assigned writing task in the high school content areas as reported by both teachers and students. 7. High school students want to learn to write and associate their need for writing instruction with specific forms and improved communication.
