internal validity, it may prove differently had we used the oft highly opinionated moms and grandmothers on Facebook, or conversely with high school and middle school aged children. Another limitation we faced was the ability to control for the face-to-face conversation. Subjects were given the listed topics to guide discussion but it is difficult to control for subject matter and keeping the confederates character or aura the same throughout each discussion. There certainly could have been some…
ranted as he hurdled over tables and chairs and charged through the patrons. The guards began to bark orders at each other. "Shoot him now!" "Negative firearms are not authorized, the possibility for collateral damage is too high." The infiltrators face was blood red from his ranting, his mouth ejecting his poisonous drool for his passionate zealotries filled words. As the guards began to close in on him, he began reiterating, "Excultus orta iterum!" The Magister boomed his voice through the…
The laboratory door creaks open, with just enough time for the man to heave himself up off the floor. The face of his favorite student materializes before him. "Professor Rob!," she exclaims at the sight of his tattered and burnt lab coat. Rob remains silent. He walks toward his machine with a somber expression, and stares at the hunk of melted metal sitting…

choose to believe him. I do think I can be pretty, but I don’t know how to look sexy for a photo. It is so unnatural to try and be someone you generally are not. It may be easy for some people, but my definition of a ‘natural sexy’ look is the “duck” face and let me tell you, it is not my attractive facial expression to say the least. So I get to the shoot already feeling self-conscious, when I realize all of my lingerie is mismatched.…
Interpersonal Conflicts: The Importance of Maintaining Face During Adolescence Why is it important to maintain one’s public image or face? Why is it that we as a society form these images? Is it to hide who we are or is it a strategy used to fit in with a given culture? Face theory “helps us understand why and how people construct their public images and the strategies used to maintain or restore these images” (Baxter, pg. 203-204). Symbolic representations or images reflect our knowledge about…
Prior to the UNI Career Fair, I did some research on the University website to try to figure out which booths I was interested in visiting. The Lutheran Services in Iowa booth wasn’t one that was particularly on my list. This company is a non-profit organization that helps people who are struggling to parent children with behavioral or mental health issues. I wasn’t exactly sure what Lutheran Services In Iowa was all about until I walked past their station, and saw words on a poster saying “help…
The roaring of the loud crowd surrounds me like an ambush of tigers sucking out my inner anxiousness to paint an impeccable picture of itself on my face. I feel the adrenaline rushing in my blood and crawling creepily at the speed of light to the blood vessels in my face. My temperature rises as if my cheeks were slowly absorbing the heat from a hot stove. I support the weight of high expectations on my shoulder from myself and my family. I get onto my starting block and after every second…
irregular patterns of gold onto my face, and the face of the person lying beside me. I roll over to see a man, who I have known all my life, sleeping soundly despite the hard rocks beneath us. I inhale deeply as I stare up into intermingling patterns of branches and leaves. The air smells like rain and freshly cut grass, my favorite smell in the…
On the other hand, it can be argued by the data above, that making a global community faculty was not necessarily the goal for the participants interviewed, and this is adding up to the intrinsic value Cooper and Mitsunaga found. Global Faculty Community is sensed as another important tool to achieve a deeper and greater goal, namely, the building up of knowledge and sharing for the sake of education. Either directly or indirectly, each professor participant of this small study made such…
