Transitional Periods in Japanese Honorific Language
No full textEntering the workforce and going through business etiquette training is a significant part of gaining cultural capital and receiving recognition as a participant within Japanese society. This can be represented through the linguistic forms son-keigo and kenjougo, which signify humility and restraint in respect to the speaker’s relationship with the listener. However, young adults have reported distress around their usage of advanced keigo. This study aims to better understand the transitional period into adulthood by observing the attitudes and experiences of young adults entering the workforce, concluding that honorific speech is a compulsory performance of Japanese business culture that youth are beginning to opt out of by choosing opportunities presented by international relations and new technology

Degrees Conferred in 2023
No full textIt is increasingly important in our society that people receive a post-secondary education. The number of degrees that are conferred within a nation translates to higher income, more labor force mobility, and overall better standards of living (Kazakis and Fagian, 2017) . Using basic economic and education data, an accurate projection of the number of degrees conferred in 2023 can be made for the United States of America. Using personal consumption expenditures for college, the number of students currently enrolled in post-secondary institutions, the wage ratio between those with bachelor’s degrees and without, and a recession variable; an accurate depiction of conferral rates can be predicted. The basic theory behind this analysis is based on the wage premium earned by a bachelor’s degree, and the relative costs to earn that degree. An accurate projection must contain wage variables that determine the opportunity cost of earning a degree. As it takes skill and ability to earn a bachelor’s degree, we must add in a variable that predicts how well students will perform throughout college. In this case, SAT results will be used to predict academic ability. We have researched previous studies to get an accurate grasp around factors that impact the cost of college, wages of graduates, and impacts of dual enrollment on college enrollment

Mother Goddess as Mother Nature
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the connection between the Ancient Mother Goddess and the modern EcoFeminist movement by illustrating similar traits and symbolic images that they share. I first examine how far back the mother figure was praised in human history, and how images of the feminine body connect to the nurturing aspect of our Earth in Paleolithic times. I then analyze the Mother Goddess figure through three ancient religious Goddesses; the Hindu Goddess Devi and all of her embodiments, the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Isis, and the mother goddess Gaia in Greek mythology
