Numerous articles and coverage are dedicated to its background and purposes; yet this interview targeted at the CEO as the interviewee. By conducting the interview, the researchers obtained more information from face-to-face conversations and analyzed the results of this case study with secondary data. About Wei-Hsuan Chang “You shouldn’t be afraid of being the light just because the world is full of darkness. You know that you are transforming into a better self.” -Wei-Hsuan Chang, Co-Founder & CEO of Womany Wei-Hsuang is Womany’s Founder and CEO, and she strives to promote the development in gender awareness and freedom in Chinese language.

  • The Effects of Self-Compassion on Body Image in Pageant Contestants
    THE EFFECTS OF SELF-COMPASSION ON BODY IMAGE IN PAGEANT CONTESTANTS by Amanda Dolce Powers Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education School of Behavioral Sciences Liberty University 2021 1 THE EFFECTS OF SELF COMPASSION ON PERSONALITY AND BODY IMAGE IN PAGEANT CONTESTANTS By, Amanda Dolce Powers A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education School of Behavioral Sciences Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2021 APPROVED BY: Dr. Mary Hollingsworth, Committee Chair Dr. Kelly Gorbett, Committee Reader 2 ABSTRACT Self-compassion has been found to provide individuals with important tools for facing personal adversity and struggles. These strengths are increasingly beneficial to individuals faced with both internal and external criticism. Studies exploring these benefits for those in highly public and critiqued fields are limited. Pageantry has the ability to amplify such criticism, but research for the population is limited. A group of twenty female previous and current pageant contestants were recruited to explore the effects of self-compassion. This study will explore, in detail, the effects of self-compassion on personality and body image in this population. This study will utilize creative therapeutic interventions, proven to increase self- compassion, to determine if an increase provides improvement in those areas. Further research may explore how this information can generalized to those in other highly critiqued, public fields such as politics, entertainment, and athletics. Keywords: self-compassion, pageantry, therapeutic writing, body-image, journaling 3 Dedication To my mother, who wanted nothing more than to see me succeed in this endeavor.

  • 11. the Possibilities and Perils of Heritage Management
    11. The Possibilities and Perils of Heritage Management Michael F. Brown After two decades of spirited debate about the fate of cultural heritage in a shrinking, commodifying world, a few things seem settled. One is that the unsanctioned appropriation of cultural assets by outsiders is unjust and unethical, especially when undertaken by a more powerful group. It perpetrates an economic injustice because the stewards of an ancient song, art form, or useful element of traditional knowledge are denied whatever profits those cultural resources may accrue in the marketplace. Worse still, the act of tearing cultural elements from their original context may change their meaning, even to those who created them. When the source community is an embattled minority, the resulting distortion is especially damaging. Many critics of cultural appropriation hoped that the framework of intellectual property (IP) law could be modified to curb such injustices. IP law’s attraction was that it was already in place as a global system with well-established precedents. The prospect of co-opting international copyright and patent laws, often portrayed as engines of cultural theft, had a transgressive appeal to those who campaign for robust heritage- protection policies. Yet aside from a few modest improvements here and there, IP has proven to be a fickle ally. Patents and copyrights are time- limited forms of protection. Eventually their term expires, and they revert to the public domain, where they are available to anyone. This time-limited quality is objectionable to source communities that wish to shield their intellectual and cultural property forever. IP’s transformation of sacred © Michael F.
