2015 BEAP Conference Proceedings Conference Proceedings 2015 “Bald Eagle & Panda” U.S.-China Culture Exchange Virtual Conference November, 2015 Iowa State University of Science and Technology Ames, Iowa, USA Editors Linda Hagedorn, Ph.D. Liang (Rebecca) Tang, Ph.D. Arne Hallam, Ph.D. Editorial Notes What is the Bald Eagle and Panda Conference? The Bald Eagle and Panda Virtual Conference is an annual event, first began in 2014, funded by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. The conference evolved through the collaboration between Iowa State University (ISU) in the U.S. and Henan Normal University (HNNU) in China. Since 2012, HNNU and ISU have worked together to establish an American Cultural Center on the HNNU campus that can enhance English language training, understanding American culture from a comparative perspective, and enriching curriculum across both universities for the creation of global citizens with wide perspectives and open minds. We seek to enhance critical thinking and open dialogue across the globe. The Bald Eagle and Panda (BEAP) Conference is preceded by a call for proposals asking students to submit a short essay (250-300 words) describing their intentions for a longer and more complete presentation and/or paper. All proposals were evaluated on the following: importance of the topic within American and Chinese cultural exchange, quality of writing, potential for effective display, and suitability/readiness for presentation. All students were given informative feedback on their proposals. Proposals were either accepted for presentation, accepted but not presented, or declined. Proposers in the first two categories were invited to submit a full paper that would be included in these proceedings and will enter them into the competition for prizes. All BEAP presentations are pre-recorded and presented on the day of the conference. Presentations are archived and can be viewed at any time after the conference by visiting the Bald Eagle and Panda website: https://baldeaglepanda.wordpress.com/. After each presentation, the authors are available for live questions and answers. The conference proceedings include all of the submitted papers to the conference. It is important to note that the papers have not been edited. These papers are published as originally submitted (minor stylistic changes for uniformity) by the students. With few exceptions, these papers were written by undergraduate students in China for whom English was not native. The reader will note great variability in the depth, style, grammatical correctness, and topic across the collection of papers. We reserved the original papers as evidence of the thinking and ability of these student presenters. We invite the readers to enjoy the originality, the diversity, as well as the perspectives. What is the Bald Eagle and Panda Series? The BEAP conference is a part of the Bald Eagle and Panda Series that includes guest 2 lectures at various universities in China, a quarterly newsletter for undergraduate students in China, and recorded professional lectures by world renowned faculty on topics of importance to both China and the U.S. We are proud of the accomplishments of the students and others who participate in the BEAP series. Our plans are to continue to enhance our offerings and to work together to enhance international understanding and ultimately peace.

In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences The Role of Engagement with Characters in Framing and Persuasion through News Narratives Barbara Maleckar Doctor of Philosophy Jaunary 2013 This Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research degree of the University of Winchester 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS The Role of Engagement with Characters in Framing and Persuasion through News Narratives Barbara Maleckar Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 While the field of narrative persuasion has widely stressed the persuasive power of (fictional) stories, the framing research tradition has overlooked the role of narrative properties in framing. Neither field has examined news as narrative and the influence that it might have on audiences through mechanisms of narrative persuasion. Because character is an integral component of the very definition of narrative, it is investigated in this project both as textual cue and reception process that can account for the persuasive power of news frames on audiences. The first stage of the research involved a qualitative study of character at the textual level. Narrative devices used to portray individuals involved in a newsworthy event and to present their point of view were analysed in two framing analyses. Excerpts from crime news coverage clearly linked narrative devices pertaining to the treatment of character with the available frames about the crime. These devices were used in the news stories to invite readers’ engagement with certain characters instead of others and to transmit the frame accordingly. The effect of character-based frames on reader engagement was then tested in two experimental studies that manipulated the perspective from which the crime events were presented by selecting appropriate excerpts from authentic news media materials.
