The relationship between the news media and its audience via the now of information requires a critical examination, for the impact of the media on peacekeeping missions presents far-reaching ramifications. Perpetuated by the news media, globalized political discourses have become a mechanism that both constrains and directs peacekeeping. Certainly, radio and television broadcasts, as well as newspaper stories, have created a collection or voices that have shaped public views; however, despite the debate that has occurred concerning the media as a manipulator of public perceptions, much remains to be explored. Contemporary scholarship (e.g., the manufacturing consent model; the political consent model) focuses primarily on the interactions between government, media, and the public over the control and now or information between those bodies. The goal of my research is neither to prove nor disprove these arguments, but rather to examine the ideologies and potential patterns of discourse among news sources. This paper intends to identify meaningful grounded theories by comparing different levels or media and their portrayals, perceptions, and discourses of current United Nations peacekeeping operations and peacekeepers in two former French colonies: Haiti and Cote d'Ivoire

How Males and Females Feel About Body Image

We wanted to see if the participants have a low or high body image. The participants were asked questions determining how they feel about their body image and others around them. Our hypothesis is that the younger participants will have a lower body image then those older, males will have a higher body image than females and seniors will have a higher body image than freshmen. The subjects were from the Human Subjects Pool at Lindenwood University consisting of general psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology classes. Our findings were significant with our hypothesis

Triangular Negotiations of Island Sovereignty: Indigenous and Customary Authorities Metropolitan States Local Metropolitan Authorities

The benefits of subnational island jurisdiction (SNIJ) status are well detailed, but less attention has been given to the diffusion of economic, social and political benefits associated with these islands’ Islandian sovereignty among diverse island populations. The 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples indicated the international community’s formal recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights to political self-determination and govern their own affairs through their own decision-making institutions, and requires states to consult with these organisations to obtain free, prior and informed consent. Yet, few SNIJs with Indigenous peoples have established or restored Indigenous bodies of authority distinct from local governments. In the context of Islandian sovereignty and the unique power relationships organised between metropoles and islands, we consider how Indigenous authorities negotiate independence and dependence, statehood and non-sovereignty, autonomy and control. This article offers a foundational typology for thinking about these multilateral relations between metropoles, SNIJs, and customary or Indigenous authorities

Terrorism, Drugs, International Law and the Protection of Human Liberty

Linking related concerns that are often treated in disparate areas of international law and practice, this book reveals the interconnectedness in today’s world of drug trafficking and political violence. Suggesting a new approach to our political and moral values and the laws in which they are reflected, it offers a coherent legal definition of and reaction to terrorism based on a conceptual model derived from substantive criminal law, the law of war, and public international law.https://scholars.law.unlv.edu/books/1031/thumbnail.jp

A central goal of The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success.
