Scientia Et Humanitas: a Journal of Student Research Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research Volume 3 2013 In this 101st year of MTSU, the publications of the University Honors College are made possible, in part, by a generous gift by Paul W. Martin Jr. in honor of President Sidney A. McPhee for his continuing dedication to the University Honors College and for his unwavering commitment to academic excellence. Submission guidelines Original unpublished undergraduate and graduate research from the natural and social sciences and from the humanities is now being accepted for the 2013 issue of Scientia et Humanitas from MTSU students and recent graduates either by themselves or in conjunction with a faculty mentor. Articles should have approximately 10 to 30 typed, double-spaced pages and may include revisions of papers presented for classes, conferences, Scholars Week, the Social Science Symposium, or Honors theses.

Phillips Marsha L. Powers John R. Vile email: [email protected] capone.mtsu.edu/scientia Preface In the third volume of Scientia et Humanitas, I am excited to report a boom in author submissions. As we receive more and more papers from a more diverse group of students, the journal is increasingly able to represent the university and its contributions to various areas of research more faithfully. This edition of Scientia et Humanitas offers a diverse array of topics and several award-winning articles as well. Four award winning essays open this volume. Clint Bryan, a PhD candidate in English and winner of the 2012-13 William R. Wolfe Graduate Writing Award, and recipient of the Deans’ Distinguished Essay Award, applies elements of social literacy theory to Tobias Smollett’s Humphry Clinker to examine Smollett’s commentary on eighteenth-century society. Following Bryan’s piece, Katie Stringer, also receives the Dean’s Distinguished Essay Award for her examination of the history of the relationship between museums, sideshows, and people with disabilities and will graduate with a PhD in public history in this year’s Spring commencement. Representing the natural sciences, Anna Love, who earned her B.A. in English (2010) and is now seeking a B.S. in science (chemistry/ pre-medical), in collaboration with Dr. Ngee Sing Chong of the chemistry department is awarded the Dean’s Distinguished Essay Award for her analysis of the products of the gas phase reaction between chlorine dioxide and malodorous compounds produced during putrefaction. Kayla McNabb’s essay examining the relationship between Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition” and Process Theory won second place among the college of liberal arts graduate students at this year’s Scholars’ Week poster session. McNabb is currently pursuing an M.A. in English. The Humanities are represented more strongly in this year’s issue than in any previous with seven articles. In addition to Bryan’s, Stringer’s and McNabb’s projects, Jonathan Bradley, a late stage English PhD candidate, offers an existential reading of Southern women’s writing. Sarah Gray-Panesi, another English PhD candidate, examines Anne Rice’s Southern Gothic to illustrate the writer’s connections with the Southern literary tradition. Two more English PhD candidates, Margaret Johnson and Fadia Mereani, round out the Humanities. Johnson examines the possibilities of Milton’s Satan as allegory in Paradise Lost while Mereani considers Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry as an influence on that of Wallace Stevens. The Social Sciences are represented by six projects in this issue. Jamie Sutton, a graduate in philosophy (2012), offers a brief explanation of Islamic limitations on violence and how extremists sometimes circumvent them. Philip Routon, a PhD candidate in economics, examines “fly-by-night” firms and the methods they use to decide whether to follow or ignore certain governmental regulations. In one of two collaborative efforts in this year’s issue, Rachael Smith, an undergraduate in anthropology and art history, and Crystal VanDalsem, an undergraduate in anthropology and philosophy analyze the accumulation of tobacco waste around Peck Hall following MTSU’s smoking ban. Pursuing a Master’s in social work, Hyeryon Kim evaluates Asian American parents’ perceptions of their children’s educational experience. Rita Jones, an undergraduate in communication studies, evaluates the communication experiences of international students on American college campuses, while Michael DeHoff, an undergraduate in organizational communication, provides an examination of the interpersonal relations in the People’s Republic of China. In my first year with the journal, I have been repeatedly impressed not only with the level of scholarship presented by students at MTSU for publication but also with the amount of work my editorial team has put into making sure the journal continues to be a worthy vessel for MTSU students’ work. Many thanks are due to my fellow editors, reviewers, proofreaders, and advisors, and especially to the Honors College for sponsoring this publication. To the students of MTSU, thank you for your contributions, and I hope you enjoy the third issue of Scientia et Humanitas.

RENÉ GIRARD: THE SCAPEGOAT STUDY GUIDE, 2003 Steven Alan Samson CHAPTER ONE: GUILLAUME DE MACHAUT AND THE JEWS Study Questions 1. What are some of the catastrophic events Machaut describes? What led to the massacre of the Jews? How is the process of scapegoating described in a fable by Jean La Fontaine? [The tendency to euphemize an evil is similarly depicted in the Harry Potter stories, as, for example, with "He who must not be named"]. (1-3) 2. [SKIP] How does Machaut's account of the arrival of the plague illustrate the phenomenon of scapegoating? What makes Machaut's use of epydimie [epidemic] a "linguistic scapegoat" and how is its essential structure the same as a human sacrifice? Does he ever connect these events into a single entity? ["The Thirty Years War" and "The Hundred Years War" were, of course, not perceived as such at the time].

  • The Witching Hour by Francie Mcgowan
    The Witching Hour By Francie McGowan Next week’s Halloween night, under a waxing crescent moon, is when, according to legend, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, and houls, goblins, witches and ghosts are on the prowl. In western tradition, the “witching hour” is between 3 and 4 am. This is when the evil demons of the night are at their most powerful. One of the most infamous of these evil spirits is the witch. The witch, as portrayed in lore and in literature, has been maligned by superstition and by writers - the most famous, of course, is Shakespeare. In “Macbeth,” Shakespeare’s witches (he calls them the weird sisters) make a potion for their evil deeds: Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. They go on to add all sorts of ghastly ingredients, including, “root of hemlock, digg’d i’ the dark,” and “Gall of goat, and slips of yew silver’d in the moon’s eclipse.” Shakespeare’s witches have beards and cackle, and pretty much resemble what has come down to us as the quintessential Halloween witch. Women in medieval times who were herbalists and healers, often were thought to be witches and up to no good. Their knowledge of chemistry and botany was threatening to the superstitious populace of the 12th and 13th centuries.

  • Download Enchantment Is All About Us for FREE
    In Enchantment is All About Us Beatrice Walditchreveals that much of the what we often think of a real in the modern world is an enchantment woven by profit-driven businesses and nefarious politicians. Drawing upon a wide range of traditional worldviews, she sets out ways of mentally ‘banishing’ such pervasive enchantments and empowering the reader to create their own enchantments. Many of the suggestions develop and weave together ideas discussed in her previous books. Enchantment is All About Us is the fifth book in the Living in a Magical World series. These books will challenge you to recognisethe traditional magic still alive in modern society, and empower you with a variety of skills and insights.

  • Triple Witching Hour" on Stock Market Volatility
    September 1988 The Effect of the "Triple Witching Hour" on Stock Market Volatility Steven P. Feinstein and William N. Goetzmann This paper investigates the "Triple Witching Hour"-the four times during the year when stock options, stock index options, and stock index futures simultaneously expire—to determine whether these periods are characterized by excessive volatility in the stock market. The term "triple witching hour" can conjure tively taking place at the open of trading on the up images of broomsticks and brew, perhaps expiration day instead of at the close. The the scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth in which impact of triple witching hours and expiration a trio of witches recite incantations around a days in general, though, extends far beyond the boiling cauldron. For stock traders, though, the matter of whether the pattern of stock trading is term represents something far more frighten- atypical on certain days of the year. Of interest ing.

  • Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
    GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing.
