The Anchor, Volume 132.19: March 6, 2019
Get PDFThe Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor\u27s history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular

Evidence for Equality?: Guatemalan Adolescents\u27 Views on Gender
Get PDFGuatemala is known for its beautiful landscapes, delicious food, and vibrant traditional textiles. Despite the country’s many treasures, Guatemalans face many challenges including gender inequality and wealth disparity. Issues pertaining to youth are of particular importance, as approximately 56% of the population is under 25 years old (Central Intelligence Agency, 2018). Gender inequality in Guatemala may be perpetuated by traditional values of machismo and marianismo (Gibbons & Luna, 2015). Machismo refers to the expectation that men be dominant, respected, and strong providers for their family (Arciniega, Anderson, Tover-Blank, & Travey, 2008). Conversely, marianismo is the expectation that women be pure and gentle, like the Virgin Mary (Castillo, Perez, Castillo, & Ghosheh, 2010; Stevens, 1973). The Gender Intensification Hypothesis suggests gender roles become more rigid during adolescence, as young people prepare for adulthood (Hill & Lynch, 1983). Previous studies on Guatemalan adolescents’ views on the ideal man and ideal woman have revealed a series of gender differences as well. Although machismo and marianismo still characterize society’s views on gender for many Guatemalans, there is evidence that some young people’s views on gender might be changing due to globalization and adaptation of more individualistic attitudes (Ashdown & Gibbons, 2012; Flores et al., 2016). The purpose of the current study was to evaluate age and gender differences among 297 Guatemalan adolescents on the following measures: Attitudes About Women Scale-Adolescent version (Galambos, Petersen, Richards, & Gitelson, 1985), the Ideal Man and Ideal Woman questionnaire (Gibbons & Stiles, 2004), the Revised Body Image Esteem Scale (Mendelson & White, 1993/1994), and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (Liebenberg, Ungar, & LeBlanc, 2013). Findings from this study will contribute to culturally-sensitive efforts to empower Guatemalan youth and educate adolescents about gender equality. By shifting gender ideologies of youth in the region, macro-level improvements through policy change and overarching attitudes towards women are possible
The Art of Moving Across Borders: A Look into Translanguage Literature
Get PDF“They might be talking in perfect latin tongue and without warning begin to talk in perfect anglo tongue and keep it up like that, alternating between a thing that believes itself to be perfect and a thing that believes itself to be perfect, morphing back and forth between two beasts until out of carelessness or clear intent they suddenly stop switching tongues and start speaking that other one. In it brims nostalgia for the land they left or never knew when they use the words with which they name objects; while actions are alluded to with an anglo verb conjugated latin-style, pinning on a sonorous tail from back there.” (Herrera, Yuri. Signs Preceding The End Of The World). Translanguaging is an emerging field of study that explores the ways Latinx people utilize English and Spanish to create a new language— a third language that also showcases their transcultural lived experience. While translanguaging has applications in language pedagogy, my research looks at the deployment of translanguaging in literature. Specifically, I examine the works of Sandra Cisneros, Junot Díaz, Yuri Herrera, and Erika L. Sanchez for the artful ways they incorporate translanguaging and thus the way they explore culture and identity via language use. While recent scholarship in this emerging field has been largely devoted to classroom use, my study treats literary works— both fiction and poetry— for evidence of translanguaging and its necessary use by Latinx people in the exploration of their identity
Influences of Corruption on Political Participation
Get PDFThis project examines how political scandals and corruption in the government affect public opinion and political participation. I expect to find that while political scandals might have a negative impact on both public opinion and political participation it does not have a big impact because political scandals have become a natural element in the politics today
The Effects of Ambient Temperature and Lighting Intensity on Wheel-running Behavior in a Diurnal Rodent, the Nile Grass Rat (Arvicanthis niloticus)
Get PDFEnvironmental conditions, such as the light-dark cycle and temperature, affect the display of circadian rhythmicity and locomotor activity patterns in mammals. Here, we tested the hypothesis that manipulating these environmental conditions would affect wheel-running activity patterns in a diurnal rodent, the Nile grass rat (Arvicanthis niloticus). Grass rats are diurnal in the field, however, a subset switch from a day-active pattern to a night-active pattern of activity after the introduction of a running wheel. The mechanism of this chronotype switch remains largely unknown. In the present study, grass rats were presented with running wheels in 12:12 light-dark conditions. First, subjects were exposed to 25 °C during the day and 21 °C at night, which resulted in 100% of grass rats expressing diurnal behavior. Subjects were then exposed to manipulations of elevated ambient temperature, which resulted in a significant reduction in wheel-running activity. Reducing ambient temperature below 21 °C, however, did not disrupt the expression of diurnality or overall activity. Next, lighting intensity was reduced, which resulted in a switch from a diurnal to a nocturnal chronotype in a subset of animals and reduced overall wheel-running activity. Upon return to baseline lighting intensity, patterns of diurnal activity were restored. Altogether, increases in ambient temperature and decreases in lighting intensity significantly reduced overall wheel-running activity. Importantly, dim light resulted in a temporal niche switch in a subset of grass rats, suggesting a critical role for lighting intensity on the expression of wheel-running activity patterns
