Narcissism correlated with vanity at 0.72 (P < 0.001), and was associated pos- itively with extraversion (E), ME and the subscales of vanity; narcissism was associated negatively with neu- roticism (N) and agreeableness (A). Vanity correlated positively with E, conscientiousness, both subscales of narcissism, and ME, and negatively with N and A. A composite narcissism–vanity score was produced using principal components analysis, and used along with scores from the NEO-FFI-R to predict mating effort. The narcissism–vanity composite, low A and E significantly and independently predicted mating effort (adjusted R2 = 0.28, F(9.96) = 7.74, P < 0.001). These results show that mating effort is additionally predicted by narcissism as well as self-reported personality. Ó 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    I. Introduction A. When Kent Keller and I Wrote Our Modesty Book, We

    I. Introduction A. When Kent Keller and I wrote our modesty book, we originally entitled it A Gold Ring in a Pig’s Snout. I still like that title but the publisher had major objections, so we changed it. But what we were thinking was based on Proverbs 11:22 “As a ring of gold in a Swine’s snout so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion (moral perception).” B. For this session, I want to: 1) Define biblical modesty and immodesty. 2) What the Bible teaches about modesty. 3) Practical tips on how not to look like a beautiful gold ring all dressed up outwardly to go to a party but in your heart you look to God like you are an ugly pig. II. Definition of modesty and immodesty A. Modesty: An inner attitude of the heart motivated by a love for God that seeks His glory through purity and humility; it often reveals itself in words, actions, expressions, and clothes. B. Immodesty: An attitude of the heart that expresses itself with inappropriate words, actions, expressions and/or clothes that are flirtatious, manipulative, revealing, or suggestive of sensuality or pride. III. What the Bible Teaches About Modesty A. God created men and women to be different. Genesis 2:18, 21-25 B. Along came sin and everything became tainted by sin, not only for Adam and Eve but for all of their children including us. Genesis 3:7 C. When sin entered the picture so did sexual lust, vanity, sensuality, immorality, and all kinds of associated sins.

When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. 4 Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how contemporary women artists have recon- 5 ceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald shows how, over 6 the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle 7 the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they 8 have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, 9 sexuality and disability as well as gender. 20111 McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including 1 Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Pat 2 Brassington and Sally Smart. She traces the shift in feminist art practices from 3 the early challenge to patriarchal representations of the female nude to contem- 4 porary, ‘postfeminist’ practices, influenced by theories of performativity, queer 5 theory and postcoloniality. McDonald argues that feminist efforts to develop 6 a more positive representation of the female body need to be reconsidered, 7 in the face of the resistant ambiguities and hybrid complexities of visual art in 8 the late 1990s. 9 30111 Helen McDonald is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Fine Arts, Classical 1 Studies and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 i RUNNING HEAD 1111 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 ii RUNNING HEAD

    Decision, and This Appeal Followed

    REPORTED IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 713 SEPTEMBER TERM, 2014 JOHN T. MITCHELL v. MARYLAND MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION Eyler, Deborah, S., Arthur, Kenney, James. A., III (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. Opinion by Eyler, Deborah, S., J. Filed: November 25, 2015 John T. Mitchell applied to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (“MVA”) for vanity plates bearing the letters MIERDA. The application was granted. Two years later, the MVA received a complaint from a member of the public about Mitchell’s vanity plates. It investigated and determined that “mierda” is the Spanish word for “shit.” Pursuant to a State regulation giving the MVA discretion to deny or rescind vanity plates that contain profanities, epithets, or obscenities, the MVA rescinded Mitchell’s vanity plates. Mitchell challenged the MVA’s action in a contested case hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”). The ALJ decided that the MVA properly exercised its discretion to rescind Mitchell’s vanity plates and that its action did not violate Mitchell’s First Amendment right to free speech. The Circuit Court for Prince George’s County upheld the decision, and this appeal followed. The novel issues before this Court are whether messages on vanity plates are government speech or private speech on government property; and if they are the latter, what degree of government restriction may be imposed on that private speech under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.1 We hold that Mitchell’s vanity plate message is private speech on government property, not government speech. Under prevailing United States Supreme Court jurisprudence, Maryland vanity plates are a “nonpublic forum,” in which government restrictions on private speech will pass muster 1 The First Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment.
  • The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin

    The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin

    19 The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin The establishment of the nude as an independent and vital subject in post-antique western art occurred during the Renaissance and is, along with the use of perspective, one of the most important markers differentiating Renaissance art from medieval art. One factor driving these innovations was the desire to portray a world that conforms to visual reality, where objects decrease in size as they move away from the picture plane, and where human anatomy is rigorously understood. Just as Renaissance artists employed perspective to portray naturalistic spaces, so they also populated those spaces with proportional, anatomically accurate figures and, during the course of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the occasions when those figures were depicted nude occurred more and more frequently. Naturalism, however, was but one motive for the increased use of the nude, and by the first half of the 1500s, the naked body had achieved a wider and more varied presence in art than had been the case in the Middle Ages or even in antiquity where, with few exceptions, its use was confined to male athletes, heroes, and divinities. This essay will focus on two issues: where is the nude used – i.e., what are its locations – and what are the meanings of its uses? As it is today, the body in the Renaissance was multivalent. European Christian society believed that as a cause of lust and sin, the body was fearful and needed to be covered up. Yet at the same time it was the form the Savior, Jesus Christ, took during his lifetime, and the Catholic Church taught that it is in our very own earthly bodies that, after the last trumpet, we will spend eternity either in bliss in Heaven or in despair in Hell.

    Selling the Abercrombie and Fitch Image

    Driessen UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research VIII (2005) Message Communication in Advertising: Selling the Abercrombie and Fitch Image Claire E. Driessen Faculty Sponsor: Scott Dickmeyer, Department of Communication Studies ABSTRACT Advertising is a frequently used influential and persuasive means of communication, especially on teens and young adults. Abercrombie and Fitch is a corporation whose advertising methods have been controversial because of the profound effect its message has on the target audience of teens and young adults. Research found Abercrombie and Fitch used its new campaign to communicate four prevalent messages: The look of an Abercrombie & Fitch Person, The one and only Abercrombie & Fitch, The Abercrombie & Fitch life of luxury, and Not making the Abercrombie & Fitch cut. These messages were communicated through numerous venues, and persuaded consumers to purchase the products through identification with the Abercrombie & Fitch image. Keywords: content analysis, message communication, Abercrombie & Fitch, identification INTRODUCTION Less than one year ago Abercrombie & Fitch decided to remove its main form of advertising, the magalog A&F Quarterly, from the market. The controversy created around this company’s advertising is intriguing. The way a company communicates its image to consumers is an interesting method of message communication. Image by itself is “multidimensional constructs containing cognitive and emotional elements” (p. 86). Corporate image also includes “the extent to which each marketing instrument contributes to the brand image and the extent to which that image enhances desired economic behavior of markets” (p.83). Additionally it encompasses “the quality of management, corporate leadership, and employee orientation” (Haedrich, 1993, p.83). This research study will examine the messages communicated to sell the Abercrombie and Fitch image, this will be done by analyzing the messages sent through Abercrombie & Fitch’s advertising and how these messages are packaged.

    “If the Savior Stood Beside Me, Would I Wear the Things I Wear?” Carol F. McConkie ______________________________________________________________________ This address was given Thursday, May 2, 2013 at the BYU Women’s Conference © 2013 by Brigham Young University Women’s Conference.

Why would a hemline, a neckline, or a T-shirt matter to the Lord? I am the mother of five daughters and two sons, and as you can imagine, the topic of modesty has come up in our home once in a while! But, over the years, I have learned that modesty is taught best by teaching the doctrine and setting a positive example. The doctrine will help our children understand why modesty is so important. Our example will demonstrate the blessings of modesty in happy ways. What is modesty? Modesty is a God-given principle to help us learn to use our bodies appropriately here in mortality. The definition of modesty I will use today comes from True to the Faith: “An attitude of humility and decency in dress, grooming, language, and behavior.”1 Modesty is the opposite of boastfulness or vanity. Modest people do not use their bodies or their behavior to seek approval from the world or draw attention to their own real or supposed accomplishments or desirable attributes. As we talk about modesty today, please remember that these principles apply to both men and women, and that even as we teach and exemplify modesty for our young women, we never condemn those that choose short skirts or “rainbow hair and the many splendored rings.”2 Always, we exemplify compassion and Christlike love for the individual while we remain loyal to the standards the Lord has set.
