Hannah Webster Foster and Benjamin Franklin: Addressing the Coquette through the Male and Female Voice
No full textThroughout history, women have carried the weight of social expectations that have been thrust upon them by a patriarchal society, within which men are not held to nearly the same moral standard and scrutiny. This is reflected in both Benjamin Franklin’s and Hannah Webster Foster’s tales of a “coquette” damned by society for becoming pregnant outside of marriage. However, each of these narratives presents readers with a unique picture of a “coquette.” Both “The Speech of Miss Polly Baker” and The Coquette provide criticisms about the archetype of the coquette. However, while The Coquette presents a cautionary tale dissuading young people from falling victim to the system, “The Speech of Miss Polly Baker” provides a critique of the system itself. Both authors show sympathy towards the coquette, offer commentary on religion and constricting social structures, and confront gender and class inequities. However, Foster’s approach is more understated due to standards imposed upon her by her gender, while Franklin’s position of power allows him to use the voice of a woman to openly challenge the system without facing intense public criticism. Putting these two texts into context with one another, acknowledging the circumstances of their authors that influenced their individual approaches, leaves readers with the following question: is a woman of this time period realistically afforded the power to defend her autonomy against patriarchal threat, and if not, how can a woman operate within strictures imposed upon her to still rebel against the oppressive patriarchy
Cybersecurity in Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential Election Campaign
No full textCybersecurity is of growing importance in America today, yet discussion about cybersecurity in Trump’s 2024 election campaign was limited. This paper discusses how the role of cybersecurity in Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign was limited by cybersecurity issues from his first term which continue to damage public support for his campaign, the unpopularity of cybersecurity among voters, and an effort to encourage collaboration with technology companies. Focus is on a timeframe from November 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025 (the date Donald Trump announced his candidacy to his 100th day in office). Ultimately, cybersecurity issues see more policy outcomes when the definition of cybersecurity is broadened

Relationships Among Personal, Institutional, Engagement, and Outcome Factors: Comparison of American College Seniors With and Without Reported Disabilities
No full textExtant literature reveals that students with reported disabilities perform relatively lower than those without reported disabilities in several higher education outcome metrics. While there is research pointing to performance challenges among students with reported disabilities during higher education and after, there are limited studies examining relationships among personal, institutional, engagement, and outcome factors in a predictive-mediating-moderating model to derive information about what can improve performance and foster parity. This quantitative study used generalized structural equation modeling and analyzed the entire population of American four-year college seniors with reported disabilities and an equally matched random sample of 20% students without reported disabilities who participated in the National Survey of Student Engagement administered in 2022. The analysis of predictive relationships among personal, institutional, engagement, and outcome variables revealed group differences in the prediction of the highest expected education by student-faculty interaction. Although institutional variables were statistically significant predictors of student engagement and outcome factors, they were stronger predictors of engagement. The indirect effects of institutional variables in the mediating models did not improve the prediction of student outcomes compared to the direct prediction by personal factors. The findings have implications for higher education policies, programs, and research
