<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This paper is an examination of how higher administration at Jesuit schools use hegemony to create an ideological definition of the ‘ideal’ student. I use rhetorical criticism as a means of explaining how students are characterized and defined based on Creighton University sanctioned webpages. The results provided two major ideological principles that influence Creighton’s discussion of the overall student population, the privileging of numbers and the construction of a preferred student model. These ideological themes in combination with hegemonic principles promote the creation of an ‘ideal’ student that no individual is fully capable of attaining.  </span></p></div></div></div>

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This analysis uses metaphor criticism to decipher how metaphors function in Emma Watson’s address to the UN. Metaphor criticism proves useful in this critique because it can be used to determine the rhetor’s motive, to evaluate the effectiveness of the message, and to decipher the rhetor’s perspective on a particular subject. This critique uncovers two types of metaphors: those that describe “gender stereotypes” and those that describe “feminism.” The first subgroup of metaphors describes gender stereotypes as evil, oppressing entities that can be overcome or defeated. The second, more complex subgroup of metaphors for feminism suggests the term “feminism” has a negative connotation; one that conflicts with the true definition of the term. In addition, Watson’s inconsistent use of the “fight” metaphor suggests she is hesitant to use “feminism” to describe gender equality. In attempt to make the feminist movement more inclusive of men, Watson resists using the term and instead replaces it with phrases such as “he for she.” Watson’s metaphors suggest she is an advocate for gender equality but that she recognizes the stigma behind the term “feminism” and thus she uses metaphors for “feminism” instead of using the term directly. Since her speech aims to galvanize men and boys for change, she may ultimately be trying to create a new label for gender equality that is inclusive of men. </span></p></div></div></div>

In business development of the principal company many face problems in activities related to the management of its business so that it requires a business network in marketing its products. The creation of multi-level marketing distribution network regulated in Indonesian trade ministerial regulation No.66 of 2019. In the distribution of the principal's property until it reaches the hands of the consumer there is a tiered agreement that is the standard agreement that causes imbalance in the agreement triggered by the absence of clear regulations governing the provision and only based on the principle of freedom of contract Article 1320 KUHPer. The creation of this unnamed agreement (Inomminat) underlies the creation of a standard or standard agreement, with the reason of facilitating the principal in its distribution practices. Because this imbalance can cause legal problems, such as unilateral business termination experienced in the network of distribution of Gas ELPIJI agents to sub agents or others. The legal vacuum is far from the ideal of the law which essentially provides equality in the definition of fairness in the eyes of the law. The research uses Normative Juridical Method that emphasizes the theory of Legal Protection and Legal Certainty approach legislation (Statute Approach) and Case Approach ( Case Approach).

Nearly 40 years after the creation of NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising and at least as many years after academic advising was recognized as a unique role in higher education, the term academic advising as applied to individuals who work in higher education has been only colloquially defined. Using the analytic induction research method, we arrived at a definition of academic advising created from the words of academic advisors. In this paper, we address the way each word or phrase has been used to create the definition and present implications for policy, research, and practice.

The student’s social ordinary attitudes concerning positive images are investigated. In 2018 there were interviewed 404 undergraduate students from one of the Moscow universities. Social attitudes were studied via the vignettes method – short stories, where the university students (girls and boys) acted as the characters in certain situations. Most respondents (more than 59.0%) approve of the student’s actions aimed primarily at successful higher education, mandatory higher education. A successful boy during the student period manages to combine study with work (part-time) and take responsibility for creating a family, while cohabitation is not approved. Students support the behavior of a girl who is ready not only to study, but also to work, if necessary – to become a breadwinner in the student family, whereas cohabitation for a girl is allowed. Depending on the circumstances, the ideal student is often associated with a rational, career-oriented person ready to delay the childbirth, even if it requires abortion. Abortion is also considered as a way out of a difficult situation: for example, when it poses a threat to your career (continuing your education and keeping your job), if you do not have the support of your family, or if you are likely to lose a loved one (including not saving your marriage). 30% approve of the actions described in the vignettes related to the refusal of studying. In general, for most students the basic values of the Russian society – creating a family and working – are a priority.

This article proposes a model of individual violent radicalisation leading to acts of terrorism. After reviewing the role of group regression and the creation of group psychic apparatus, the article will examine how violent radicalisation, by the reversal of the importance of the superego and the ideal ego, serves to compensate the narcissistic identity suffering by “lone wolf” terrorists.

Though treated marginally in histories of philosophy and criticism, Byron was deeply involved in Romantic-Period controversies. In that post-Enlightenment, science-orientated age, the Platonic-Romantic concept of inspiration as divine afflatus linking the prophet-priest-poet with the ideal world beyond was no longer tenable without an admixture of doubt that turned religion into myth. As a seriously-minded Romantic sceptic in the Pyrrhonian tradition and commuter between the genres of sensibility and satire, Byron often refers to the prophet-poet concept, acting it out in pre-Decadent poses of inspiration, yet undercutting it with his typical Romantic Irony. In contrast to Goethe, who insisted on an inspired poet's sanity, he saw inspiration both as a social distinction and as a pathological norm deviation. The more imaginative and poetical the creation, the more insane is the poet's mind; the more realistic and prosaic, the more compos it is, though an active poet is never quite sane in the sense of Coleridge's ‘depression’, meaning his non-visitation by his ‘shaping spirit of imagination’.

As one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful and sustainable world. The integration of the frameworks of analysis and action provided by gender perspective into the design, development and assessment of any program related to university education, research and management is essential to the fulfillment of both quality higher education and an effective transfer of knowledge and values to society. Starting from a standpoint of commitment to this progressive outlook, this essay focuses on the specific case of the University of Alicante, Spain, and on its Architecture studies. It seeks to underline the achievements of this institution in the fostering of a critical spirit and the empathy of its students by way of the implementation of gender perspective as a tool for the conception of complex, diverse and integrating projects, aligned to the objective of mutual care between people and the environment. This is crucial for the co-education of future generations of architects, who will play a central role in the definition of new practices and policies related to space and materials, which favor a more sustainable, inclusive and caring scenario for both humans and non-humans.
