Latin America in Phoenix: Presence through Cuisine and the Culture

In Arizona, many expect all and any Latin influence to come from Mexican immigrants but, in actuality, there are a variety of countries that have immigrants established themselves in the state. One of the best ways to learn a new culture and to become more empathetic is through their food. Knowing this, I went to several Latin American restaurants in the Phoenix valley to conduct ethnographic interviews with owners in order to analyze their cultural influence on the community and the overall impacts of culture, community, and Latinidad.

Women have made great progress in the fight for equality over the years; however, there is still a disparity in wages among men and women under capitalism. Women make an average of approximately 76 cents to the 1 dollar of a man. This is a problem that is caused by the lack of value society puts on women’s work. This thesis explores this issue by analyzing and utilizing some of the ideas found in texts such as The Marx-Engels Reader by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Marx, Women, and Capitalist Social Reproduction: Marxist Feminist Essays by Martha E. Gimenez, and Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith and Juno Mac. Through analyzing the texts, subject matter such as domestic labor, sexual labor, and ideas revolving around capitalism are revealed and discussed to further understand the way that women can be freed from the exploitation they experience under the capitalist system.

Queer Representations of Female Beauty in Music

I will argue that Fletcher as a queer female musician is less focused on physical beauty, but instead is more focused on inner beauty and the character of women instead. I will begin with defining beauty in its many forms

I will argue that Fletcher as a queer female musician is less focused on physical beauty, but instead is more focused on inner beauty and the character of women instead. I will begin with defining beauty in its many forms and how this industry and market has grown in recent years through a review of the current literature in the applicable fields of study. The other side of this endeavor will be a review of selected song lyrics and an analysis of how they describe feminine beauty. This will demonstrate that queer women view and describe women differently- and in a more positive and humanizing manner.

Appearance-Based Shame In Medicine: How It Alters Patient Perception and Future Care

Health service quality is understood to be a crucial determinant in successful patient-physician encounters and patient health. One common feeling that patients have reported experiencing during appointments is shame. We hypothesized that patients who experience appearance-based shame during an appointment are not likely to return to the same physician and that patients who do not experience appearance-based shame are likely to return to the same physician. This was assessed by conducting an anonymous online survey of 13 questions that served to establish a general foundation for understanding the participants' physical characteristics such as race, age, weight, and gender identity as well as their overall patient-physician relationship and experiences of shame, if applicable. 119 participants were recruited from Arizona State University and a case study was performed individually for five participants of interest. The data analyzed from this study suggests that while appearance-based shame does exist in healthcare spaces, it is not a significant determining factor in patients returning to their physicians. In addition, there was no significant evidence to suggest that patients who do not experience appearance-based shame are either likely or more likely to return to their physician. We hypothesize this could be due to confounding variables such as convenience, accessibility, or insurance limitations which patients may prioritize over feeling ashamed during an appointment. However, more research needs to be conducted to confirm these hypotheses.

The Kardashian’s Business in Beauty

In this project, we will argue that the Kardashian women influence beauty standards by portraying themselves as beauty moguls to control the interests of their audience and promoting themselves as the modern day standard of beauty. This affects their audience by creating unattainable and unrealistic standards of beauty that negatively impacts their sense of self and mental health. We will explore the influence they have created and why their influence remains preferred by their audience over time, explaining how they maintain control of the industry.
