  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

  • The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women's Alcohol
    The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women’s Alcohol Use in Emerging Adulthood by Julia Belenzon Hussman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Julia Belenzon Hussman 2018 The Pinking of Drinking: Understanding Women’s Alcohol Use in Emerging Adulthood Julia Belenzon Hussman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The current study applies a sociocultural lens to understanding emerging adult women’s alcohol use and related problems in light of the recent gender convergence in rates of alcohol use. Grounded in the developmental framework of emerging adulthood, which typically characterizes those between the ages of 18-25 years old, this research aimed to establish a more comprehensive model of young women’s drinking through addressing several gaps in the current literature and focusing on both risk and protective factors. A sample of predominantly White, heterosexual emerging adult women (N = 230) participated in an online study that assessed drinking behaviours and motives, domains of socialized conventional femininity and resistance of such scripts, and efforts to mitigate risky drinking behaviours. Greater endorsement of conformity to ideal constructions of femininity dictating appearance preoccupation (striving to attain a thin body, augmenting one’s appearance, and relating negatively to one’s body through objectification) was associated with coping motives, and in turn, risky drinking (binge drinking, alcohol problems), whereas body objectification was associated with conformity motives, and in turn, alcohol problems.

  • History of the Gay Rights Movement in America
    History of the Gay Rights Movement in America Pre-Stonewall Beginning in colonial times there were prohibitions of sodomy derived from the English criminal laws passed in the first instance by the Reformation Parliament of 1533. The English prohibition was understood to include relations between men and women as well as relations between men and men. As Europeans settled in North America, they encountered Native American cultures which had different ideas about sexuality and gender. The accounts of French, Spanish and British travelers about Native American customs are full of references to such cultural differences, such as the acceptance among some groups of same-sex sexual activity and cross-dressing. Reactions to these differences ranged from amused to violent, as Europeans confronted cultures that did not follow what Europeans had always considered to be "natural" laws. European colonial governments sought to control the sexual behavior of the people within their settlements. The British, French, and Spanish all passed laws regarding sex outside of marriage and "sodomy" - a range of same-sex sexual activities. In early British colonies, as under English law, sodomy was a capital crime (punishable by death). One of the earliest recorded convictions for sodomy in the colonies was that of Richard Cornish, a sea captain executed in 1624 in Virginia for alleged homosexual acts with a servant. Despite the severity of the laws, however, we know of only a few instances of executions in sodomy cases during the colonial period. People were more likely to be tried for the lesser offense of "lewd behavior," which did not incur the death penalty.
