After winning the primary and the general election with 95 percent of the African-American vote (At the same time, Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland, Ohio), Richard G. Hatcher became the first African-American mayor of Gary, Indiana, and the first in the state of Indiana. He was elected in November 1967 and inaugurated in January 1968. Hatcher served an unprecedented five terms and as one of the beneficiaries of the Civil Rights Movement, he set the tone and was used as the standard by which many African-American mayors, that came after him, throughout the nation, were evaluated or criticized. Hatcher broke the racial glass ceiling for a host of African-American mayors who followed him.

Purpose and Significance Thanks to the globalization, the demand for the bilingual workers is on the rise. As English majors, we believe that what we can do to be more competitive in this increasingly globalized world is to have a solid command of this language. The certificates such as TEM-8(Test for English Majors Band Eight) is a must but what really matters is what ability the students really have possessed and could be employed at ease. Upon reflecting on the TEM-4 (Test for English Majors Band Four) /TEM-8 scores the seniors have acquired, we clearly learn that there is still quite a room for improvement, especially when it comes to writing. Some students still find it tough to put pen into the paper and work out a satisfactory essay; some are hard-pressed to express themselves smoothly in the writing; still some tend to produce Chin-glish works. Actually, all these are standing in the way of global communication and cultural interaction, which may be a major part in our future work. Therefore, English majors should place high value on honing this skill, not only for juggling exams but also for the sake of our future career. This paper tries to analyze the writing ability of...

THE INTRODUCTION (the explanation of media influences and basic notions of women representations in Disney Production) A good deal of feminist writing in the field of culture has been concerned with the representations of gender and of women in particular, and it is claimed that these representations of females reflected male attitudes and constituted misrepresentations of “real women”. Meehan (1983) analyzed the stereotypes into which women are commonly cast on television and the analysis showed that “good women” are, or are expected to be submissive, domesticated and home-centered while “bad women” are rebellious and independent. She concludes that “American viewers have spent more than three decades watching male heroes and their adventures, muddied visions of boyhood adolescence repete with illusions of women as witches, bitches, mothers and imps “. All researches about the media influence give the same conclusion that the mass media is a powerful resource through which viewers develop their...

...reform of the Chinese University Entrance Examination necessary? In 1978, the Chinese University Entrance examination was resumed. After which, flaws in the system has become increasingly unbearable and the desire for a better system has been prevalent in the current society. The term ‘Chinese University Entrance Examination’ refers to a system of selecting students from high school by university through a national examination in China. The examination is also known as “Gaokao”. In this presentation, the argument of the reform of Gaokao is necessary is supported. The reasons behind this include firstly, the examination does not judge the students comprehensively, secondly, different provinces and ethnic groups create unfairness and lastly, students are given too much pressure under the examination. First of all, the national examination is a very limited way of judging the calibre of students. There are three basic subjects which are compulsory, Chinese, Mathematics and English. In high school, students are divided into two main streams, the liberal arts stream which include students who study politics, geography and history and the science stream, those who study physics, chemistry and biology. For most of the Chinese students, the only way to go to the university is to perform well in these subjects. Teachers would suggest students to try to memorise everything. According to Michael Pettis, a Professor of Finance at the prestigious Peking University, the way to do well...

...Linguistics Yihan Zhou Seton Hall University Abstract According to kinesics and linguistic theories, this project investigates what parts are involved in making gestures and how gestures carry meanings. A wide range of body parts are involved in making a gesture. According to David Mcneill, the physical movements acquire meaning by iconics, metaphorics, deictics, and beats. The project also discovers an etymological way to connect gestures to Chinese vocabulary. Based on the findings, the project further develops some guidelines to design gestures for teaching Chinese. They are making easy movements, identifying teaching content, making gestures understandable to your students, and applying gestures into teaching. In the end, the project applies the guidelines in designing activities for teaching Chinese pronunciation, vocabulary, character, and culture. Keywords: guidelines, gestures, teaching Chinese, kinesics, linguistics 1. Introduction 2.1 Background Gestures are common body movements: teachers instruct with gestures, referees in soccer game use gestures, people greet each other with gestures. Then what are gestures?

...Membership in a Fraternity or Sorority, Student Engagement, and Educational Outcomes at AAU Public Research Universities Gary R. Pike Research involving 6,782 undergraduates (50% first-year students, 50% seniors, 16% fraternity/sorority members, and 58% females) at 15 AAU public research universities revealed that Greek affiliation had a weak positive relationship with engagement and gains in learning. The effects for Greek affiliation were stronger for seniors than first-year students. During the past 4 decades, the role of fraternities and sororities on college campuses has come under increasing scrutiny (see Clark, 1962; Jakobsen, 1986; Kuh, Pascarella, & Wechsler, 1996; Maisel, 1990; Winston & Saunders, 1987). Critics of the Greek system have pointed to research showing that membership in a fraternity or sorority is associated with higher levels of alcohol use (Wechsler, Kuh, & Davenport, 1996), lower levels of personal development (Wilder, Hoyt, Doren, Hauck, & Zettle, 1978; Wilder, Hoyt, Surbeck, Wilder, & Carney, 1986), and lower levels of academic achievement (Blimling, 1993; Pike & Askew, 1990). Recently, criticisms of the Greek system have intensified and focused on research results showing that Greek affiliation can have negative effects on students’ learning and intellectual development (Pascarella et al., 1996). Based on results of the National Study of Student Learning (NSSL), Kuh et al. (1996, p. A68) concluded: “Fraternities are indifferent to academic values...

...Running head: Educational Psychology Inez Beverly Prosser: Educational Psychology Cheyenne Williams Edward Waters College Abstract This paper will attempt to explore the background of Inez Beverly Prosser, her contributions and theoretical perspective in the field of modern psychology. Inez Beverly Prosser was arguably the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in psychology. She completed her dissertation in 1933, which examined personality differences in black children attending either voluntarily segregated or integrated schools. Inez Beverly Prosser: Educational psychology Inez Beverly Prosser, PhD, was born into a family of 11 children in the 19th century. Her year of birth is unknown, their father Samuel Andrew Beverly, worked as a waiter and her mother, Veola Hamilton, worked as a homemaker. The family moved throughout cities in Texas. Prosser grew up in south central Texas where she attended “colored schools” and developed a passion for education and the value it holds for changing lives. The family planned to send her older brother Leon to college, however they could only afford to send one of their children. Leon convinced his parents to pay for Prosser instead of him because he believed her passion for education was greater and later it proved to be a good investment. She contributed advice and money to help five of her sibling’s graduate college. Inez Prosser attended college at Prairie View A&M, a historically black college near...

...Bryant-45099 Part I.qxd 10/18/2006 7:42 PM Page 36 5 FEMINIST METHODOLOGIES AND EPISTEMOLOGY ANDREA DOUCET Carleton University, Canada NATASHA S. MAUTHNER University of Aberdeen, Scotland O ver the past 10 years of teaching courses on research methods and feminist approaches to methodologies and epistemologies, a recurring question from our students concerns the distinctiveness of feminist approaches to methods, methodologies, and epistemologies. This key question is posed in different ways: Is there a specifically feminist method? Are there feminist methodologies and epistemologies, or simply feminist approaches to these? Given diversity and debates in feminist theory, how can there be a consensus on what constitutes “feminist” methodologies and epistemologies? Answers to these questions are far from straightforward given the continually evolving nature of feminist reflections on the methodological and epistemological dimensions and dilemmas of research. This chapter on feminist methodologies and epistemologies attempts to address these questions by tracing historical developments in this area, by considering what may be unique about feminist epistemologies and feminist methodologies, by reviewing some of sociology’s key contributions to this area of scholarship and by highlighting some key emergent trends. The chapter begins with a brief overview of the theoretical and historical development of feminist epistemologies, followed by a similar overview...

... Research of meta-analysis conducted by Tim Judge and colleagues of Journal of Vocational Behavior included 150,000 participants of ages 25 to 45 from different countries. This research was done in summer of 2013. The result indicated that the association between salary and job satisfaction is very weak. The reported connection indicated that there is less than 24 percent overlap between pay and job satisfaction levels. Furthermore, the connection between pay and pay satisfaction was only marginally higher, indicated that people satisfaction with their salary is mostly independent of the actual salary. A cross-cultural companion revealed that the relationship of pay with both job and pay satisfaction is pretty much the same everywhere for example, there is no significant difference between the US, India, Australia, Britain, and Taiwan. A similar pattern of result emerged when these researchers carried out group-level or between-sample comparison. The result showed that employees earning salaries in the top half of data range reported similar levels of job satisfaction to those employees earning salaries in the bottom half of the data range. According to the researchers, this result was consisted with Gallup’s engagement research, which reported no significant difference in employee engagement by past level. Gallup’s finding were based on employees from 12 organization across 49 industries and 34 nation, conducted in summer of 2013. In research article...

...Signs appear in everyday contemporary societies. Signs are saturated with a lot of meanings and they relate to any language and are there to make us understand things through relating words with concepts like the word ‘silence’ which is a sign of communication that is indicative of meaning and it is ideological, it is also power to talk. Sign theory is an eccentric war of communication. It focuses on the discourse analysis where it focuses on language, power and ideology. Intelligence services are a key component of every state and their mandate is to ensure the security of states and they make use of the sign theory to supply the policy makers with information or intelligence which is fundamental in the policy making process. Evaluation and analysis’ role is to cast information into its proper intelligence framework and in the process minimising being biased. If evaluation and analysis is quality the intelligence given to policy makers will help policy makers to come up with quality policies and if the evaluation and analysis is poor obviously the policy makers will come up with ineffective policies. There are repercussions if intelligence services fail to analyse. Sign theory help in deductive, inductive and abductive types of reasoning. In this discourse I will define the sign theory, evaluation, analysis, four tools of analysis and the implications of sign theory to evaluation and analysis as a process which is scientific, logical, methodological and verifiable.
