Major League Soccer Case Study An Examination into the Future of the League Honors Advisor: . Honors Reader: . Matt Samost SPM 499 Honors Capstone Fall 2012 Abstract Major League Soccer has grown tremendously since its inception in 1996. The league, however, still is a work in progress. The overarching question of this case study deals with an examination into the future of the league. Will it continue to be a niche sport on the American sports landscape or will it challenge the big four leagues in the years to come? Broken into five subtopics, the case study looks to address this question by examining the league through multiple lenses in order to be able to take both an in-depth and wide look at the current condition of the league.

  • One Region, Four Movements: Constructing Cascadia Through Rhetoric
    One Region, Four Movements: Constructing Cascadia through Rhetoric Thatcher Montgomery English Department Senior Honors Thesis Dietrich College, Carnegie Mellon University 29 April 2016 Thesis Adviser: Andreea Deciu Ritivoi Montgomery 2 Abstract Through traditional rhetorical analysis, this thesis examines arguments made for a ―Cascadia‖ regional identity (roughly located around Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia) made by four strands of Cascadian thought: Cascadia as a bioregion, as a nation, as a culture, and as an economic region. From each concept, two texts are analyzed to find the audience being targeted and the arguments being made. Examining how each Cascadia attempts to define itself and draw members—often by contrasting or coordinating with the other versions—shows some similarities, like pride in the natural environment, as well as clear distinctions, like differing opinions as to the boundaries of the region itself. The separate notions of Cascadia come with their own sets of values, and by looking at an overview of the arguments being made, this thesis provides insights into Cascadia specifically as well as regional identities in general. Montgomery 3 Introduction Where are you from? You might say Georgia, but maybe the South provides a richer description. Or maybe you‘re from Maine, but like the way New England sounds. I‘m from Washington State, but call the Pacific Northwest my home. Others would prefer to call it Cascadia. Larger than states but smaller than countries, regions are playing an ever-more-important role in today‘s globalizing world. How regions define themselves and argue for those definitions can help us see why they‘re playing larger parts, in areas from environmental protection to politics to economics.
