Why Bushnell?: An Analysis of Student Consumer Choice

I will present research conducted by myself and my classmates on the reasons why students decide to attend Bushnell University. Our research includes in-depth interviews with current students about the factors and reasons that motivated their university decision. The information from these interviews will provide insight into the consumer behaviors of Bushnell undergraduate students and what made them choose to attend Bushnell University as opposed to others. I will also analyze the primary factors that influenced these decisions and determine if there are any common themes among them.

Employee Right to Privacy vs. Employer’s Need to Know (Private Business)

In Desilets v. Walmart (1999), the district court decided that Walmart had violated its employees’ privacy rights by using hidden taping devices to record private conversations. While most privacy laws are loose when it comes to on-site camera recordings, this case decision redefines employee privacy rights in the workplace.

The Story of a Colonel and How the Artillery He Commanded Forever Changed American Military History

Of all the new military technologies used during the American Civil War, the one that had the most influence on American military history was light artillery as its lighter structure enabled more maneuverability, the accuracy of new rifled guns made artillery units more crucial in battle, and the resulting victory of the Union lead to the creation of other mobile artillery technologies, including the modern tank.

The French Revolution: social, political, or economic revolution?

The French Revolution was more of a social revolution than a political or economic revolution, as we see in the social constructs before the revolution (Three Estates), the peasantry revolts and the “Great Fear”, and the new social reforms enacted by the Directory and Napoleon after the revolution.

Mercedes Deiz and Civil Rights in Oregon

While most people think of Civil Rights activists as street protestors and passionate speakers, Mercedes Deiz shows us that effective Civil Rights workers were also enacting change directly in the justice system, which we see through how she broke barriers in the Oregon BAR, defended the rights of African Americans and women as Oregon’s first woman of color circuit court judge, and opened up new opportunities for minority law students and lawyers.

Martin Luther: The Political Reformer

Most people know Martin Luther as the instigator of the Reformation whose ideas forever changed Christian theology and practice. However, few people realize the magnitude of influence that Luther’s ideas had on contemporary Western European politics, specifically, Luther’s doctrine of “Two Kingdoms”. In fact, Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” was the most politically revolutionary doctrine during the Reformation for a few reasons. First, Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” directly challenged the authority of the papacy, the leading governmental and religious body in all of Western Europe at the time. Second, Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” also challenged many sacramental laws instituted by the Roman Catholic Church. Lastly, Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” doctrine was one of the first to advocate for the distancing between religion and politics that eventually led to the political practice of separation between church and state.

The Greek Historian and the Persian King

Herodotus was one of the first and most famous historians in all of human history. His nine-book series, “The Histories” goes over a vast span of Near Eastern history. Specifically, Herodotus’s accounts detail the history of Ancient Greece and the Persian Empire, as well as the subsequent Greco-Persian Wars. Herodotus also discusses influential figures and leaders during these times. One figure, in particular, is Persian King Xerxes I. However, The Histories’ veracity is questionable considering that Herodotus drew most of his historical accounts from interviewing witnesses or descendants of witnesses, all of whom have their own opinions about history. In actuality, Herodotus’ portrayal of King Xerxes in “The Histories” is inaccurate and unreliable for many reasons. First, Herodotus’ account of Xerxes is heavily biased as Herodotus was Greek and despised the Persians who invaded his homeland on multiple occasions. Second, contemporary accounts such as Thucydides’ historical accounts and the Book of Esther disprove Herodotus’ claims about Xerxes and question his methods of research. Lastly, historical and archaeological evidence further contradicts Herodotus’ claims about Xerxes.
