Rear Window thrusts us into the role of a voyeuristic neighbor, a role that we find ourselves quite comfortable filling. The point of voyeurism though, is that it is always a one-way street; we find comfort in knowing that we are able to watch others while we ourselves remain unseen. Together with our wheelchair ridden protagonist, LB “Jeff” Jeffries, we watch through a series of open windows as Jeff’s various neighbors go about their day to day lives. Though all of these people are placed there

intelligence. Going through my dyslexic experience, I first got diagnosed with this disorder. I thought that my ability to read or speak would never get better or I would never become one of the normal kids. I have learned that having dyslexia isn't a disorder to be ashamed of. In most cases the person with dyslexia does not understand the things they are reading and that is exactly how I am. For me, this disorder mixes up the littlest things. At random moments when I am speaking, reading, and comprehending

Anxiety Disorder By: Brandi Jester Thesis: Have you ever been excited about going out and canceled at the last minute? Had to tell someone that you were not feeling good or that you could not go because you had a last-minute emergency?

worth living anymore!" "What 's the point in living?"

If one were to imagine a world without judgment, what would it look like? Maybe not too many people will try to be perfect and change who they really are just to impress others. Many people would not have to face the daily struggle of an eating disorder go through a hard time just to have a perfect body. This seems impossible to imagine. The more one tries to find solutions for a world with so much judgment and criticism, the more it becomes difficult. It is obvious, or maybe not yet, that our world

Something that I’ve learned from this course was the term “intersectionality” and how that plays into equity. While isolating an issue does help in understanding its roots, the next step we should be taking is to understand the interconnecting nature of social identities. This many help us to become a more equitable society. For example, when Chelsea facilitated the workshop where we touched upon intersectionality in the pay gap, we learned how both gender and racial identity can affect an individual’s

--very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

The character could of thought by killing the old man he would of had a sense of freedom from the survalliance he felt from the old mans "vulture eye". This is when the

Salvage the Bones, by Samantha Grey, could have prevented getting pregnant, but she could not prevent the hurricane. I could have prevented eating edibles of marijuana, but I could not prevent developing an anxiety disorder. I’ve associated my events with edibles to my anxiety disorder because I had not developed it until after my experience. After my first semester had ended at Xavier, it was now winter break. I was very excited to be back home and see all my friends that had gone off to college

may be different for others but for me, whenever I have tried to envision my future self, the reality has seldom met my expectations. Although, there remains one exception, the subject of eating. With a pile of heaped years belonging to an eating disorder stuck to my resume, I was convinced, whatever happens, whoever I become, nothing would change my connection to food. My relationship to eating would always be tainted, plagued and troublesome. At best, I could aspire to be an obsessive healthy eater

sophomore year, I visited with the objective of discovering how human relationships influence animal behavior, particularly the mistreated. This was the day I met Hope. Her fragile body stood there scrutinizing me. Regardless of her feebleness, I still thought she was beautiful. The young pit-bull mix exhibited her distinctive brindle coat. I had the honor of not only interviewing the SPCA director and an animal behaviorist, but Lisa, who rescued Hope from a shelter planning on euthanizing her. With the

After watching Killing Us Softly 4: Advertising’s Image of Women by Jean Kilbourne, I began to notice how much women really are sexualized in advertising. I see a lot of this on my Twitter and Tumblr feed but I honestly have never given it much thought. After seeing all of the different ads presented in the movie and during the lecture in class, it is mind blowing to see how many ads are based purely off of selling the female body and sex. The Carl’s Junior ads shown was really eye opening. They

Mind and Matter; each substance has a defining attribute. For Mind it is thought and for Matter it is spatial extension, both interacting within the brain - the question is how do these two domains interact with each other? Psychobiology comprehends this space between the psychical aspects of the mind that we can see and touch and the just as real immaterial realm where our thoughts and feeling are held. The philosopher Wundt’s importance lays with his separation of psychology from philosophy by
