  • A Rhetorical Analysis of the Representation of Student-Athletes in Visual Media
    Running head: STUDENT-ATHLETES IN VISUAL MEDIA 1 A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE REPRESENTATION OF STUDENT-ATHLETES IN VISUAL MEDIA by Katie Mathewson Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Communication and the Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science April 2017 Approved by: Dr. Valerie Wieskamp, Ph.D., Thesis Director Dr. Theresa Redmond, Ph.D., Second Reader Dr. Jennifer Gray, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Ted Zerucha, Ph.D., Interim Director, The Honors College STUDENT-ATHLETES IN VISUAL MEDIA 2 Abstract As the media impacts our lives on a daily basis, it shapes our perceptions of the world and people around us. According to the thoughts of Marshall McLuhan, George Gerbner, and Neil Postman, media create meanings for society to apply to their cultural norms and stereotypes. Whether we cultivate meaning from media metaphors or the media forms themselves, we reflect the mediated messages in our perceptions of identities, including those of student-athletes. After rhetorically analyzing films, television shows, advertisements, and online media, it can be said that visual media portray student-athletes in ways that present tensions for how society should view them: heroic, inspirational, egocentric, and rebellious. In addition, there are certain tensions among the identities of student-athletes according to media rhetoric. STUDENT-ATHLETES IN VISUAL MEDIA 3 A Rhetorical Analysis of the Representation of Student-Athletes in Visual Media The expansion of knowledge and information available to humans has broadened with our constant use of media. As a result, mass media have impacted the lives of everyone in some shape or form.

Faced with budgetary restrictions and no official soccer team to call their own, the U.S. set out to recruit players in the soccer hotbed of St. Louis, Missouri, where they found a group of young friends with no professional or international playing experience, only an unabashed love of the game. Leaving behind their wives, girlfriends and families for New York, Frank Borghi, Harry Keough, Gino Pariani, Frank ‘Pee Wee’ Wallace and Charles “Gloves” Colombo joined Philadelphian Walter Bahr, Haitian-born New Yorker Joe Gatjeans and additional East Coasters for a short 10-day training period in which these young men from different races, religions and backgrounds were forced to see past one another’s differences and become a full-fledged team.

Gregory. "Real Teaching and Real Learning vs Narrative Myths About Education" Arts and Humanities in Higher Education 6.1 (2007): 7-27. Real Teaching and Real Learning vs Narrative Myths about Education Marshall Gregory Butler University, USA Abstract All real classrooms are saturated in the fictional narratives about education from TV and movies that swirl about thickly and persistently in western culture, yet the influence that these fictions exert on real teachers and real students is seldom examined. This article argues that since these fictional narratives nearly always deal in recycled stereotypes of both students and teachers, and that since they seldom receive critical attention, the influence they exert on real teachers and real students is to mislead, confuse, and impoverish their evaluations of and expectations about the nature of genuine education.
