important points are less about the Venus figures themselves, and more about the role of gender. Even within academia, she observes a trend involving the recirculation of imposing gender norms onto artifacts without any real evidence for it (Nelson 12). Nelson exposes the “hidden assumptions” of the field surrounding these figures, which include the idea that women’s bodies exist for one very specific purpose: “Underlying the description of the female figurines as erotic or reproductive is a…

Today’s leaders are faced with many challenges. In an ever-increasing global and interconnected society, it is important for modern leaders to be able to connect with and lead a variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Leaders must be savvy in the way they interact with employees and stakeholders, but must also consider ways to build a multi-cultural workforce. Spiritual leaders seek to engage the human spirit-mind, body and soul (Benefiel, as cited in Redden, 2010). It is then…

Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela all share the same principles, methods and goals? Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela all were influenced by each other and believed in the same non-violence principle. Each leader had different methods they used which were similar and had some success towards their movement. They also had goals that were different but similar because they were all successful and cost them their freedom. Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela…

Azar Nafisi and Maggie Nelson both address the issue of the ideology of art in their respective works, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and “Great to Watch.” Nafisi’s work focuses on whether or not one can use art as an escape to an imaginary world of their own ideologies. Nelson tries to show how art can let everyone have their own thoughts and ideas, without the presence of bias from the media. Ideology is best defined as an interconnected system of ideas, and both Nafisi and Nelson’s works…

with him. Coyne, Rasmussen, Linder, Nelson, and Birkbeck (2016) have claimed that the Disney Princess narratives send numerous strong messages regarding gender, that girls should be submissive and fearful. Maity (2014) claimed that several girls who like Disney Princess narratives often dream about having a “happily ever after”. Fairy tales and Disney Princess narratives are an epitome of women’s lives being produced by male authority. Coyne, Rasmussen, Linder, Nelson, and Birkbeck (2016) have…

treatment techniques that Speech-Language Pathologists used in therapy. The following speakers, I chose to listen to, were panelists at ASHA Conventions through the years 1996-2011: Kristin Chemela, Barry Guitar, Lawerence Molt, William Murphy, Lois Nelson, and David Shapiro. Listening to these panelists greatly changed my outlook on stuttering, specifically in the areas of recovery, understanding experiences of PWS, and paths toward recovering from stuttering. While listening to the…

rights when they fired Betty Nelson over social media postings (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). A recent Idaho Supreme Court decision supports First Alert’s actions. By comparing and contrasting these two cases, the issues of technology and job protection in the contemporary workplace can be prudently considered and a legal case made for reasonable workplace social media policies. First Alert Medical Response Case Study From a manager’s perspective, the moment that Nelson posted comments on…

Whether you are a railroad worker in the tunnels, or a young folk in New York, music and popular culture shaped the work experience in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Scott Nelson, the author of “Steel Drivin’ Man”, and Kathy Peiss, the author of “Cheap Amusements”, found ways to show the effects of the new called popular culture harmoniously, while dealing with completely different worlds in America. The stories of young women and their choice in leisure, and the legend of John…

“Jesslyn Sue Nelson”. My mother told me that she named me Jesslyn simply because she liked the name. She said that when her sister was pregnant with my cousin she left a baby name book laying around and my mom found my name in the book and fell in love with it because of the uniqueness of it (Nelson). Perhaps it was too cold and too early in the day to argue with my mother, who had been dead set on naming her first girl “Jesslyn” since she was merely 17-years-old…

Insufficient sleep is often to blame for these issues. The University of Pennsylvania conducted a study in which subjects sleep for four and a half hours per night for a week. They reported being angier, stressed, sad, and mentally exhausted (Nelson, n.d., para. 2). Sleep not only improves one’s mental being, but also histheir physical being. If an athlete is looking to improve histheir physical strength or speed, then, sleep is an outlet. Stanford University conducted a study on college…
