...When I enter college in a couple of years, I will likely have the resemblance of an adolescent's morality. In contrast, to the pre-collegiate world, graduation from a successful college experience will mark my moral reform by exhibiting the moral consciousness of an adult. The moral principles of human beings exist in continual development with the person; therefore, my maturity level signifies how my moral values critically influence my standpoint on personal success. According to the Writing Program Administrators Council's “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing,” responsibility and engagement are two of eight habits of mind that are essential to be “critical for college success” (2011). I definitely agree with the Writing Program Administrators Council, especially with improvement in the responsibility aspect of a human being. The final partition of college success, to me, consists of nurturing main moral principles, like responsibility, in order to be compared to the outside world where scholars constantly prepare to arrive at one day. “Top 10 Secrets of College Success,” by Lynn F. Jacobs and Jeremy S. Hyman, tip seven clearly supports my point on responsibility and involvement by claiming that the reader should “take each test three times” (2010). Although it may not seem viable or reasonable...

...States, a nation founded on the ideals of freedom and equality, continue to battle for equal rights. A key moment in this fight for equality occurred in 1972 with the passage of the Title IX Amendment to the Equal Opportunity in the Education Act. Title IX states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance" (Sadker par. 2). This piece of legislation has had a profound impact upon college athletics. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has interpreted Title IX as requiring an equal opportunity for male and female athletes at our nation's universities. More specifically, the NCAA has ruled that in order to uphold Title IX, the money spent on male and female sports must be equal, as does the proportion of male to female athletes at an institution. Though on the surface Title IX would seem to guarantee equality between the genders in collegiate athletics, the practical applications of the law have led to the elimination of...

Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation" | The Civil Rights Act of 1964 This act aimed at ending the segregation and banning the discrimination for employment in public places based on race, color, religion, sex or the national originality of a person. This legislation is taken to be an achievement of the civil right movement. After the civil war slavery was abolished and an equal voting right was given to all persons which lead to this act. Since its establishment it has been expanded to include the disabled, women in collegiate athletics and the elderly within its definitions. (History.com, 2010) Various views examined: Timothy Minchin During the 1960s and 1970s the textile industry moved through a major change out of which the visible change was seen in the increased number of black Americans in the workforce. According to the Timothy Minchin this all happened due to the occurrence of civil act 1964. Before the presence of that act the number of black Americans working in the workforce was as low as 3.3% but after the act was launched the percentage increased to the 25%. (Minchin, 1999) Although the discrimination reduced to a little extent and due to the inserted pressures by the government at textile industry black men were hired at jobs but they were...

Scholars suggested intercollegiate athletics provided three distinct attributes to higher education; 1) personal development, 2) a vehicle for increased intellectual attainment and social upward mobility, and 3) help increase student enrollment and revenue (Miller, 2003; Zimmerman and Wickersham, 2013). The decisions made in NCAA Division II athletic reform with regard to helping student athletes earn their degrees remain an integral component of the mission of intercollegiate athletics (NCAA, n.d.).

...Professional Academic Identity Development in Doctoral Students: A Comparative Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Tracy M. Balduzzi Grand Canyon University Academic and Identity Development of Doctoral Students: A Comparative Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Education has evolved in recent decades, renewing interest for research examining identity development, critical thinking, and socialization in doctoral study. Delivery methods, diverse student populations, and varied academic programs present academia with more challenges and opportunities for creating and developing scholars. This paper will describe three articles on identity development while discussing critical thinking skills in doctoral students. The articles analyzed in this paper are (Article 1)“Socialization of Doctoral Students to Academic Norms” by Weidman and Stein (2003), (Article 2)“Developmental Networks and Learning: Toward an interdisciplinary Perspective on Identity Development during Doctoral Study” by Baker and Lattuca (2010), and (Article 3) “Critical Thinking Distance Education and Traditional Education” by Visser, Visser, and Schlosser (2003). This paper compares research questions, literature review, sample populations, limitations, and conclusions. The author will conclude with discussions on the relationship between articles and opportunities for future research. Comparison of Purpose and Research Questions Article 1 and Article 2 are similar in research questions and overall...

...Ronald C Edwards, Jr. Mrs. Thomas English 1010 December 22, 2010 College Athlete, Looking For A Paycheck? NCAA Said, “NO”. For almost, a decade now the controversial question is, “Should College Athletic, be paid pay for their performances that generated profit for the colleges”. Each year college teams across the board have large annual profits. Many feel the player should receive a portion of the profits for living expenses or placed into a trust fund for their life after college. Teetering with the thoughts it seems as if they should get something for their efforts but, most of the athletic are in under scholarships that cover tuitions, board, and books. The National Collegiate Athletic Association also known as, “NCAA” provides allowance for expenses pertaining to travel and equipment. Therefore, further compensation seems irrelevant or let’s say redundant,” Is it”? Or maybe a five hundred to one thousand dollar a month cut to each player is the answer; they are generating large amounts of income for someone. This sounds like a job to me. For decades the following conference: Southeastern Conference, Pac 10, Big Ten, Atlantic coast, Big East, and Big 12, have been big TV deals for ESPN, CBS, NBC, and Fox sports networks. These networks provide millions of dollar in revenue to the schools each year, to broadcast there game. On top of the TV networks, many of the conferences have their own TV networks.

I cannot even imagine how cool it would be to live in a different country for six weeks and start learning about how people from England live their everyday lives. Why are you applying to this program? In what specific ways will this program contribute to your overall academic and professional objectives? I have a number of reasons why I am applying to the London School of Economics program. As I mentioned earlier, it will give me the once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about a whole different country and their societal norms. Personally, I also find studying on the other side of the world to be more intriguing than just taking two foreign language classes here at Indiana University. The classes I plan on taking at the London School of Economics will even benefit me greater, as they pertain to my intended major of accounting more closely than say a Spanish class at IU. Finally, having studied abroad could potentially give me the upper hand on a fellow classmate I am competing with for a job opportunity. Having completed this program will continue to build my knowledge and gain a well-rounded understanding of the business occurring throughout the...
