Death of a Salesman: A Theatrical Examination of the “American Dream” on the Human Psyche and the Effects on Aging on the Mind.
Get PDFWilly Loman is a salesman who is nearing the end of his life. As his mind begins to deteriorate, the viewer experiences several memories, dreams, arguments, and conversations that Willy has had. The Loman family in the play is in a perpetual cycle of denial, confrontation, and contradictions. Willy is most notably difficulty on his eldest son, Biff, who does not seem to live up to Willy’s expectations. The play tragically ends with Willy’s suicide and funeral. This theatrical version of the play will focus on the problematic issues that arise from chasing the notion of the “American Dream.” It will examine the stigma around the decline of Willy’s mental health and explain how chasing the “American Dream” can make us blind to our own health

High Performance Liquid Chromatography Monitoring Reaction Kinetics
Get PDFTo develop a chromatographic method to characterize enantioselective kinetics, the reaction between aromatic aldehydes and ephedrine will be monitored with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). First, develop kinetics analysis procedure with the HPLC, the decomposition of aspartame was observed with citrate and phosphate buffers. The procedure produced an activation energy in the presence of phosphate buffer of 71.9 kJ/mol with a -0.126 % error. The aromatic aldehyde, benzaldehyde, and ephedrine were run through a stereospecific column to separate peaks with various mobile phases. A more nonpolar mobile phase is required for better peak and retention time separation

Wartime and Womanpower: The Organization of the Women’s Committee of the Council of National Defense
Get PDFWhen the United States declared war on Germany in 1917 and entered World War I, the federal government understood that civilian mobilization and a strong homefront would be essential for American success in the conflict. The Committee of Women’s Defense Work of the Council of National Defense, commonly known as the Women’s Committee, was created to organize American women for the war effort. This paper argues how the executive Women’s Committee used pre-existing connections to women’s voluntary associations and the fundamental concept of federalism to organize, mobilize, and inform American women for the war effort. The women at the federal level worked to balance their personal beliefs, shaped by Victorian attitudes regarding gender roles, with wartime needs in their policies and actions. The federalist organization and the policies of the Women\u27s Committee would expand the role of women in the United States during the war despite the wishes of some members of the executive board
Response to a Shooting: Supporting a Community’s Steps Forward
Get PDFOn February 1, 2022, two security officers were killed by a gunman on the Bridgewater College campus. Our peaceful community was rocked by heartbreak. The fear, trauma, and grief of that day and the days—and months—to follow were uncharted and challenging in as many different ways as there were individuals impacted.
When the Strategic Public Relations (COMM 347) met for the first time when classes resumed a week later, after processing together their feelings and reactions to the day, they determined that they wanted to do something to help in the healing. They identified two needs: encouraging self-care and promoting active shooter training. While many such resources were being made available online and in person through the generous outpouring of support from the community, the PR students wanted to leverage having shared the same experience and speak peer-to-peer.
The 17-member class self-selected into which of the two teams they wanted to work on; however, the full class critiqued all draft products before final production. Thus, together they authored problem statements (one for each area), interviewed students to shape key concepts, and developed goals, objectives, strategies and tactics. The final products reflected their creativity and desire to honor the officers and support the community through social media posts, stickers, posters, emails, and videos
