A Lesson Learned

Kyle Martin delivered his valedictorian address, titled “The 16th Second,” during the King’s Academy Graduation on May 30th, 2019. His statement was brutally honest and had such a powerful impact on the audience that it went viral across multiple social media platforms. Using Herbert A. Wicheln’s Neo-Aristotelian criticism to examine Kyle Martin’s speech, it was revealed that the speech was effective because of how canons were presented in his speech, as well as his audience, who place great importance on their accomplishments rather than their relationships.

Exploring Christian Couples’ Marriages

A great deal of research has been conducted regarding the effect of religion on marriages and satisfaction in marriages. However, little research has been done to analyze the effect that reading the Bible has on a marriage. Based on previous research on religion and marriage satisfaction, I hypothesized that participants who read the Bible more times a week will be more satisfied with their marriage. The study’s findings revealed that there was a weak correlation between reading the Bible more times a week and marriage satisfaction.

Thrift Shop Environment Project

In this project we decided to compare and contrast two different thrift stores. A well known thrift store and a local Eugene thrift store. We decided to look at Goodwill and Thrift King. We looked at the different nonverbals each store conveys through the building structure, environment, and the things inside of each thrift store to see what nonverbal messages are sent.

Comparing University Persuasive Appeals

North Carolina Central University and Prairie View A&M University both entered into the 2020-21 academic year with the hope of persuading their students to do their part in limiting the spread of COVID-19. Through analyzing and comparing, it became evident that the two universities had different approaches on how to persuade their students. However, North Carolina Central was more successful at limiting the spread on their campus. North Carolina Central placed a large emphasis on community responsibility and used persuasive strategies that focused on others, while Prairie View A&M focused on shifting the attitudes of their students by reframing the pandemic and altering campus norms. This project seeks to explore how these different strategies may have contributed to the impact of COVID-19 on each campus.
