#PrettyLittleLiars: How Hashtags Drive The Social TV Phenomenon
Get PDFTwitter is used by many TV shows to promote discussion and encourage viewer loyalty. Most successfully, ABC Family uses Twitter to promote the teen drama Pretty Little Liars through the use of hashtags and celebrity interactions.

Belief in an age of technology: C. S. Lewis and Joseph Campbell on myth and its application to the Christian faith in a technological society
No full textThis dissertation examines the meaning and significance of myth as understood by Joseph Campbell and C. S. Lewis and its place in the Christian faith in a technological society. The thesis of this study is that, in spite of the many similarities in their life experiences, the high regard each man had for myth, and their agreement that myth has an important place in Christianity, they differed considerably on myth\u27s role in the faith. Joseph Campbell understood Christianity as comprised of mythical themes similar to those in other myths, religious and secular. Admitting that certain portions of the biblical record are historical, he taught the theological and miraculous aspects as symbolic, stories in which the reader can find life-lessons for today. Campbell believed that these life-lessons are the heart of Christianity and that taking the theological or miraculous elements literally not only undermines Christianity\u27s credibility, but results in sectarianism and a misunderstanding of the universal themes held in common by all humanity. C. S. Lewis defined Christianity as a relationship between the personal Creator and his creation mediated through faith in His son, Jesus Christ. As such, Lewis was a supernaturalist who took the theological and miraculous literally. Although Lewis understood how one could see symbolism and life-lessons in miraculous events, he believed miraculous events took place in human history. Joseph Campbell understood critical doctrines of Christianity as myth and maintained that understanding myth was a key to making sense of key doctrines of Christianity in any society, including a highly-technological one. C. S. Lewis understood myth as one means among many used by God to point people to his son, Jesus Christ

The Presence of Coups d\u27État within Revolutions: Effects on Population Health
Get PDFThe present study is a comparative approach to revolutions and their effect on population health during the post-conflict period. Specifically, it attempts to determine whether revolutions that are accompanied by a coup d\u27état have a significant negative impact on post-revolution population health. Degree of revolutionary violence, governmental structures, and pre-revolution health systems is of particular interest as relevant variables. The study focuses on the Latin American countries of Nicaragua and Chile due to their similar region and timeframe. The revolutions and accompanying coup d\u27état in both of these countries do not demonstrate different patterns on public health in the post-conflict period; rather, governmental structure and regime type were found to be more influential on a nation s post-revolution health status than the occurrence of a coup d\u27état. It has also been found that the implementation of effective programs, community participation, and population expectation are the primary factors that influence post-revolution health status
