  • Immigration, Citizenship, and Well-Being: The Uneven Trajectories of Undocumented Young Adults

    Description:
    Living on the margins of citizenship can be very detrimental to a person’s well being. There are some undocumented young adults that appear to be moving in an upward trajectory in their lives due to access to educational opportunities, activist work and the ability to work legally. Most would think that because of these achievements the well being of these undocumented individuals would improve but we see that because of pre and post migration traumas, some vulnerabilities resurface that affect the well being of these individuals. We interviewed 23 undocumented people where asked about migration experiences, family life, schooling, work, health, an adapted CES-D measure of demoralization, and their social network. From our respondents we were able to see those who seemed to be rebuilding capital through new relationships, opportunities and activism, but despite this they were still in a state of incomplete liminality where their vulnerabilities could resurface. We believe these struggles to be long-term outcome of stressors associated with being undocumented. Access to mental health services for undocumented people can be a complex situation, which further exacerbates their plight. Even though some undocumented young adults appear to be improving in their situation, liminality still persists. This is important to consider at a time when many may falsely feeling that progress has been made.

  • Manderley: a House of Mirrors; the Reflections of Daphne du Maurier’s Life in Rebecca

    Description:
    Daphne du Maurier lived an unconventional life in which she rebelled against the standards society had set in place for a woman of her time. Du Maurier’s inferiority complex, along with her incestuous feelings and bisexuality, set the stage for the characters and events in her most famous novel, Rebecca. Throughout this paper, I will conduct character studies of the unnamed narrator and Rebecca de Winter, in order to emphasize the inspiration du Maurier drew from her own life to create the characters and events of this novel.

  • TITUS ANDRONICUS: THE STAGING OF SHAKESPEARE’S GORIEST PLAY

    Description:
    For years, Shakespeare’s most debated tragedy, Titus Andronicus has been bashed or dismissed by critics. “No detail of physical horror is spared; from beginning to end the stage reeks with blood, and the characters vie with one another in barbarity.” However, the questions arise: Can such a violent play be performed today? And how has it been staged in the past? There is no doubt that staging the play has its difficulties. The theatricality of Titus can pose a number of problems. Although the play is very theatrical, the violence has been interpreted several ways throughout the years. Today it seems that, to an extent, we as an audience expect deeds of violence from a tragedy. The word “tragedy” ignites images of violence and despair. Jonathan Bate’s assertion that, Titus Andronicus is “in fact complicated and sophisticated – and that it ought to be widely read and more frequently performed” may be correct.

  • Possible Components That Might Affect the Academic Performance of Immigrant College Students

    Description:
    The study of interpersonal communication is gaining importance in this current climate of globalization. Students need to develop interpersonal communication skills because they are very important through all aspects of living. Because of this increasingly multicultural environment, cross cultural communication and interpersonal communication skills are very important and must be developed while studying in a foreign country. Over the years, the number of immigrant students attending schools in the United States has increased dramatically. Interpersonal communication is at the centre of human central relationships and psychoanalysis (Amaraju, 2012). Therefore, the number of challenges in school for foreign students increases as a result of the lack of interpersonal communication skills. The importance of interpersonal communication skills and the development of satisfactory relationships with other students is necessary to understand such behaviors in college students and their effect on academic performance. The proposed study will discuss the possible components that might affect the academic performance of immigrant college students and the interpersonal communication skills that might affect a college education experience as a result. The study will also cover the scope of grammar and speaking limitations among members of the immigrant student community, as well as the effect of their seclusion from the mainstream on their academic performance. This proposal includes my methods for gathering information, and the possible challenges to immigrant students in the classroom including bullying and discrimination.

  • Impact of the Natural Phenomena of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem on the Mythology of Shoshone Indians

    Description:
    will demonstrate the impact of the unique natural phenomena of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem on the belief systems and mythology of the Sheep Eater people, a subgroup of the Shoshone Indians who inhabited the area. Central to my methodology is the comparison of Sheep Eater stories and myths to the mythology of their relatives, the Panamint Valley /Saline Valley Shoshone. The two groups share a common ancestor through the Paiute people, who split up to become the Shoshone and migrated eastward into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. By comparing the mythology, folklore, and stories of the two groups who are located in two distinct ecological regions, I will prove that mythology is directly influenced by the surrounding environment and ecosystem. In order for readers to fully understand the magnitude of the impact the natural landscape can have on a group of people, we must first examine how the area came into existence including how natural landforms and features were made. We must also explore how humans migrated to North America and how the Paiute people of Southern California evolved into the Shoshone. By reviewing archaeological evidence and sites across the Southwestern United States, readers will be able to follow the path the ancient Shoshoni took from the Southwest to Wyoming; eventually residing in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem at what would become Yellowstone National Park. A brief time must be spent evaluating Shoshone culture and daily life. Finally, the myths of both Shoshone groups, the Saline/Panamint Valley Shoshone and the Shoshone Sheep Eaters, will be presented, compared and contrasted, and evidence from the surrounding ecosystem will be drawn to show a direct correlation between the landscape and mythology, proving that the landscape and surrounding environment does impact myth.
