All Alone: The Impacts of Lack of Communication on Identity in Solitary Confinement: A Graduate School Research Proposal
No full textThere are currently over 2 million people in the United States incarceration system. At any given time there are approximately 80,000 individuals in solitary confinement. Previous academic studies have investigated the relationship between mental health and solitary confinement. This work seeks to understand communication and identity in relation to those who experience solitary confinement from a communications perspective. Theoretical frameworks from Marx, Foucault, Social Construct Theory, and Face theory are drawn to produce a baseline for concepts in addressing these issues. This work proposes using an indigenous mixed methodology to conduct work. This graduate research proposal presents a research project that examines the effects of lack of communication on identity to those who experience solitary confinement in the incarceration system in the U.S
Tennis Is Big Yet Still Small
Get PDFTennis is the main study in this paper, and Rolex\u27s campaign “It Doesn’t Just Tell Time, It Tells History” is used as a vehicle in the investigation of the traditions and values in the sport of tennis.

In order to discover the traditions and values in tennis, an ideological criticism method will be implied to guide the study in a direction that is formally structured and credible to the marketing, communication, and tennis audience. The work in this paper is also heavily based on communication and marketing techniques that consist of both scientistic and indigenous knowledge. This means that the research done on tennis and Rolex is not limited to Western scholarly knowledge but also includes the traditional knowledge that comes from continents like Africa
