  • K. Lee Graham Miss Teen Usa 2014
    K. LEE GRAHAM MISS TEEN USA 2014 K. Lee Graham of Chapin, South Carolina became Miss Teen USA on August 2nd at Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. Hours after being crowned, the 18-year-old honors student arrived in New York City still in disbelief that the new title as Miss Teen USA was really hers. The small town of Chapin is home to one of South Carolina’s most academically competitive high schools (Chapin High) where K. Lee currently holds a 5.024 GPA and is ranked number one in her class. She believes that education is the foundation for anything you wish to accomplish in life which K. Lee has promoted in classrooms across the country throughout her reign. Born Katherine Lee, the abbreviation for K. Lee (“Kaylee”) stuck after her youngest sister couldn’t quite pronounce her full name and therefore took the liberty to shorten it to include only the first letter “K.” Passionate about theater, the teen who describes herself as quirky and a “drama nerd” has studied drama at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ intensive summer program as well as participated in several local productions. K. Lee is the second oldest of five children and has been raised to be penny-wise to save for the college of her choice. As a member of the SAT Team which preps students for the test, K. Lee will attend the University of South Carolina Honors College where she plans to study international business and marketing this fall with several scholarships.

ABSTRACT In the last five years, news of various scandals in the pageant industry has inundated media outlets. These recent incidents are by no means outliers in the history of pageantry. This article ex- plores the significance of one of these controversies - the Rebekah Revels litigation, which stemmed from the disputed 2002 Miss North Carolina pageant. For context, this article first outlines allegations of wrongdoing in early pageants. It proceeds with an analysis of how the Revels liti- gation serves as an exemplar of the types of contract lawsuits that may continue to entangle pageant organizations in the future. Finally, the article provides an examination of the specific legal, economic, and sociocultural effects that the Revels litigation has had, and likely will continue to have, upon the business model of the pageant industry.

  • Chapter III Chapter III Research Methodology Research Methodology
    Chapter III: Research Methodology Chapter III Research Methodology 3.0 Introductory Remarks This chapter presents the research methodology of the study. It provides general framework, data sources, data collection, and data analysis of the present study. 3.1 Aims of The Research As explained in Chapter I, the study aims to discover two problems; (1) kinds of speech act that performed in the final round of Miss Universe and (2) the self images showed by Miss Universe’s finalists. Thus, the data are examined and analyzed to answer both problems. In general, the present study is devoted to answer the statement of problems as follow: 1. What kinds of speech act did the finalists perform in the final round of Miss Universe? 2. What self images did they bring forward through their utterances? 3.2 General Framework The present study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Creswell (1998:15) defines qualitative research as an inquiry process of understanding based on distinct methodological traditions of inquiry that explore a social or 49 Chapter III: Research Methodology human problem. Qualitative research focuses on specific situation or people and emphasizes on words rather than numbers (Maxwell, 1996 in Nurhasanah, 2008). Moreover, Denzin and Lincoln (1987) state that it uses natural settings to interpret phenomena by involving any methods. In this case, the methods which usually applied are interview, observation, and documents (Moleong, 2008:5). From those explanations, Moleong (2008:6) synthesizes into: Qualitative research is a research which aimed to comprehend any phenomena happened towards the research subject such as behavior, perception, motivation, actions, and etc holistically in a descriptive way in forms of words and language, in a natural specific context and using any natural method.
