  • Benefits of a Strong Parks and Recreation System
    A STRONG PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR A THRIVING COMMUNITY Four out of five North Americans use their local recreation and park system. 70% have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home. Our parks are such a stable influence on our lives that we tend not to give them much thought. But our effective parks and recreation facilities do not just happen on their own. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve. HEALTH BENEFITS: Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. Strong evidence shows that when people have access to parks, they exercise more. Every time sedentary people walk a mile, they add 21 minutes to their life. On average, every hour you spend exercising increases your life expectancy by two hours. Exercise increases the brain’s capacity for learning. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: Parks, open spaces and trails play a key role in preserving water and air quality, reducing congestion and protecting wildlife. Through the provision of parks, open spaces and protected natural environment, recreation can contribute to the environmental health of our communities. Trail and pathway systems save energy and protect air quality by encouraging non-motorized transportation. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Parks and Recreation sources give communities a vital identity. Well- maintained, accessible parks and recreation facilities are key elements of strong, safe, family-friendly communities. When citizens get involved with their parks and recreation systems, their quality of life improves. Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities – as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students.

  • Thesis from Parks to Presidents: Political
    THESIS FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION Submitted by Seth J. Willden Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee Advisor: Nick Marx Karrin Vasby Anderson Doug Cloud Copyright by Seth J. Willden 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION This thesis examines the ways televised narrative political fiction can portray political sensibilities. Using the NBC program, Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and the Netflix streaming service program, House of Cards (2013-2016), I explore how narrative television presents political philosophies to audiences, equipping them to discuss political discourse. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before we begin discussing the political implications of narrative television, I must first provide a narrative of acknowledgement. The MA program in Communication Studies is only a two-year program, and this document marks the end of that two-year journey. But I have been at Colorado State for five years. In a way, the last chapter of this thesis will be the last literal chapter of my five-year career as a CSU student. I wish to first thank the professors that transformed my understanding of the world: Dr. Thomas Dunn, Dr. Scott Diffrient, and Dr. Eric Aoki. You were my first communication studies professors. Each in turn provided excellent education, guidance and support throughout my time as a scholar. I will never forget your pedagogical styles and hunger for understanding the communicative processes of our world. Next I want to thank my thesis committee: Dr.

  • Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises.

  • Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Abstract I. Introduction
    82 — Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 11, No. 1 • Spring 2020 Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Christina Mastrocola Cinema and Television Arts Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Historically, television has been dominated by male leads, but feminism and the challenges faced by working women are becoming more prominent in recent programming.This study analyzed two comedy television shows with female lead characters, Broad City and Veep, to examine if their main characters break traditional gender roles. In addition, this research studied if Broad City portrayed more feminist values than Veep, using feminist theory, which examines obvious and subtle gender inequalities. Three episodes from each show were chosen, selected by a ranking website. The coder analyzed three subcategories: behavior, interpersonal relationships, and occupation. This study concluded that both Broad City and Veep depicted strong female lead characters who broke gender roles continuously through their behavior, relationships, and occupation. Broad City depicted more feminist values through their main characters’ friendship, empowerment of female sexuality, as well as their beliefs against traditional gender roles. This conclusion sheds light on the fact that women in television, especially female lead characters, do not have to be portrayed in a traditionally feminine way. I. Introduction Society has placed gender roles upon men and women, expecting everyone to conform. These roles derive from “traditional societal roles and power inequalities between men and women” (Prentice & Carranza, 2002, p.1). These stereotypes are often learned through observation, including portrayals in television, film, and other forms of media.

Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.
