SummaryI think this is a question that most adults over the age of 25 ask themselves if they did not attend and complete college right after high school. I sit back nearly one year after finally finishing my degree and remember the multitude of times I asked myself that question. I can laugh now at the times I said yes, I do need a degree but could never put together the effort to do something about it. I can also laugh at those people who thought I would never finish. It is my belief that, no matter the sacrifice, no matter how much time you must invest, and no matter how long it might take you, it is ultimately beneficial and rewarding to attain your bachelor’s degree.

SummaryFor many, a morning cup of coffee may be a daily ritual. In today’s fast-paced world, many may not even have the time to brew it at home, preferring instead to stop at a coffee shop on the way to work or school. There are plenty of chains in many areas to frequent, especially Starbucks. Some may grumble about the money that they have to pay for a single cup of coffee at one of these stores. But how many think about the actual cost of that cup of coffee, or where the profits are really going, or where the profits really should be going?
Table of Contents- In this paper, I will examine the standardized and homogenized practices of Starbucks, the manner in which the company has branded itself, and two hot-button controversies the company has become embroiled in over the last few years
- Describing the apparent opposite of the Starbucks model
- Many patrons of these smaller shops respond to Starbucks with thinly masked hostility
- One thing to note is that the smaller coffee joints embraced by those with anti-Starbucks sentiments
- The company was also conscious to keep the atmosphere of its stores different from that of a smaller, less corporate coffeehouse
- However, according to Starbucks employees the company is staunchly anti-union, often firing those who attend protests or help to organize campaigns
- Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that Starbucks used its considerable influence through the National Coffee Association to block Ethiopia's application for trademark in the US Patent and Trademark Office
- To be fair, Starbucks does give back to the communities of coffee growers
- My anonymous consumer study subject, who I will be referring to as 'Antonio' for the remainder of the paper, is a 21-year-old single college student from Massachusetts
- The information presented over the course of this paper shows that, while Starbucks has tried to create a specific image for itself, it is a McDonaldized institution that many consumers avoid on principle

SummarySexual discrimination is problem that many athletes deal with regardless of their sex. Women more often deal with sexual discrimination, but even guys deal with this problem. Although sexual discrimination is still a problem today, it is not the same issue it used to be thanks to Title IX. Women are now given a lot more athletic opportunities and have most of the rights men have. Even with the improvements made to eliminate this problem, sexual discrimination is still an ongoing issue. The remainder of this paper is going to cover topics of what sexual discrimination, why it happens and cases of athletes being sexually discriminated against.
Table of Contents- According to the dictionary, sexual discrimination is 'discrimination (usually in employment) that excludes one sex (usually women) to the benefit of the other sex?.
- Another reason may be that society doesn't view women the same way as men.
- To help see that women would no longer be discriminated against in sports, the Title IX amendment was started.
- Some colleges have violated title IX, which ended up going to court.
- In 2000, some Louisiana State University female athletes sued the University because they refused to offer them the same opportunities as the male athletes had.
- The very latest case is a current case that is yet to be settled.

SummaryThroughout the course of his career as a historian, author, philosopher, and artist, Michel Foucault often shifted directions in his work, reinventing himself in the process and offering little explanation for his decisions to do so. Shortly after the publication of Madness and Civilization in 1961, he commanded, “Do not ask me who I am, and do no tell me to remain the same.” Foucault’s approach to his life and work, which he often referred to as an art form and an abstraction, consequently made any endeavor to provide a conclusive analysis of his life and career inherently antithetical to both his methodology and to the breadth of his subject matter. With that contradiction in mind, scholars have nevertheless remained devoted to investigating patterns, variations, and trends in both his work and approach. Thus, a slightly fragmented and openly speculative analysis of Foucault’s work has since become the most appropriate and effective way to study the multifaceted and inherently paradoxical nature of Michel Foucault’s work.
Table of Contents- Foucault conceived of himself in a perpetual state of eternal evolution.
- Paul Rabinow, a scholar and former colleague of Foucault, provided a model for viewing the shift in Foucault's work.
- Foucault was further influenced by Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals.
- Foucault moved through Discipline and Punish chronologically.
- In continuing with his assessment of punishment, Foucault turned toward the creation of precise disciplines.
- Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon perhaps best illustrated Foucault's point regarding the creation of docile bodies.
- He questioned the increasingly humane treatment that most scholars praised.

SummaryThe controversy surrounding self-fulfilling prophecies, while originally centered on proving their existence, has recently settled on the probability of such phenomenon occurring in a natural environment. While not directly cited in this resource guide, the original “Pygmalion Effect” experiment by Robert Rosenthal and Leonore Jacobson, while a success in its own self-absorbed goals, failed to make any connections outside of its own hypothesis. The Harvard professor and elementary school principal proved that teacher expectation can directly influence student achievement, but the experiment, conducted in a fixed environment, did not initially translate to the naturalistic world. The original teachers, the independent variables of the test, were told what to expect from their students, and although those students, a heterogeneous mixture of academic potentials, did in fact respond with positive correlation to the subsequent behaviors of their teachers, there was no guarantee that such cause and effect would occur in a literal classroom. In a series of experiments that followed in the decade after Rosenthal and Jacobson’s revolutionary yet flawed research, the naturalistic implications of the Pygmalion Effect were established, answering the question of whether or not teachers do make such drastic predictions, basing their expectations on first impressions and superficial observations and inadvertently fulfilling their own prophecies concerning their students.
Table of Contents- Most of the peer-reviewed journal articles concerning self-fulfilling prophecies acknowledge their existence, especially in the classroom.
- The other journal articles have taken the conclusions of Lee Jussim further.
- Teacher expectations and observations, as stated before, occur naturally.
- Popular media, for the most part, has focused on why such negative perceptions of adolescents exist in contemporary society.
- This image, as stated by Veronica Lacey in an issue of the Toronto Star, is 'that of a lost generation.
- The birth of MTV has definitely added a modern twist to the self-fulfilling prophecy.
- And not much can be expected from a 'lost generation.?

SummaryA young boy is standing in a dark, subway tunnel with a can of spray paint in his hand. His intentions are clear. Instead of being traditional and painting at home, he is using the world as his canvas. Vandal or not, he is still an artist. Even though he may just paint his name on the wall, it is still art to some degree.
Graffiti has been classified as a form of vandalism and not as an art for several decades. Rebellion against authority and public exposure of their works are reasons why teenagers and adolescents are attracted to the art, from gawking at it to taking up the art themselves. However, the reputation given to this “street art” has never been a positive one. When graffiti does not deface public property, could it not be just as fine as any other art? Graffiti artists use all the elements of art that painting, sculpture, and other art mediums do and the different styles and techniques associated with graffiti would easily classify it as a form of art.
