Honors Theses

Photography and perceptions of beauty.

Clayton Gibb , Eastern Kentucky University Follow

This thesis explores what “beauty” means and how to explore it through photography. Beauty is a broad idea that needs to be deconstructed and put back together so that we can functionally understand it for our daily lives. While it is subjective, the concept of beauty isn’t so hard to reach. While it takes effort to understand, it can help understand our own selves on a deeper level and how we interact with the world. Photography can be used as a tool that we use to both explore what beauty means to us and communicate those ideas to others. This manuscript examines dimensions that contribute to this understanding and provides examples.

The Process of Writing a Bachelor’s Thesis: Step by Step Guide

The writing process of a bachelor’s thesis is a challenge for many students. In this section, we give an overview of the most important steps and tips to successfully master the process.

• Determine the topic of the bachelor’s thesis and discuss it with the supervisor.
• Conduct comprehensive research and collect relevant sources.
• Create an outline and divide the topic into individual sections.
• Write the main part of the paper by processing and summarizing the insights gained from the research.
• Compose the concluding part, summarizing the main findings of the work and outlining possible further steps or implications.
• Proofread the work and check for formal requirements.
• Submit and defend the bachelor’s thesis.

Choosing a Topic: How to Find the Perfect Topic for Your Bachelor’s Thesis

The first step in creating a bachelor’s thesis is selecting the topic. It’s important that your topic is specific and answers a clear research question. If your topic is too general, it will be harder to achieve meaningful results.

Why is the topic important?

An interesting and relevant topic not only captivates your readers but also gives you the motivation to successfully complete the work.

The topic of your bachelor’s thesis is crucial for the success of your work.

A difficult or boring topic, on the other hand, can lead to you finding the writing process frustrating and ultimately not successfully completing the work. Therefore, it’s important to think carefully about which topic you choose for your bachelor’s thesis.

If you have difficulty finding a topic, you can turn to your supervisors and present your ideas to them.

Research & Study: The Right Way to the Perfect Bachelor’s Thesis

Once the topic is set, it’s time to collect the necessary information. This can be done by searching through libraries and databases, reading specialist literature, and interviewing experts. It’s important to carefully organize and document the collected information so that it’s easily accessible when writing the work.

It’s also important that your sources are current, as research and opinions in your subject area are constantly changing.

Possible Sources

• Academic Publications
• Professional Journals
• Reputable Websites (you should consult your supervisor beforehand)

Structure: Setup and Organization of the Bachelor Thesis

It is important to have a clear structure for your bachelor thesis. This should include an introduction, a main part, and a conclusion. Within the main part, you can divide your arguments into different sections. This helps you to structure your thought process and ensure a smooth and logical flow.

Introduction

• Summary of the research thesis
• Definition of the main terms
• Explanation of the research question and area of interest
• Conduct literature research
• Develop arguments and hypotheses
• Draw conclusions and results
• Cite sources
• Summary of the results
• Comparison of hypotheses and results
• Explanation of the implications of the results
• Recommendations for further research

Writing: Tips and Tricks for the Writing Process

After you have completed your research and established your structure, it is time to write.

It is important that you write your work in simple, academic German/English.

Avoid using too many technical terms and ensure that each sentence conveys a clear thought.

Compose a clear introduction that explains your topic and presents your argumentation. In the main part of your work, you should provide your arguments and examples to prove your thesis. Make sure that your arguments are logical and understandable.

• Write a simple and clear introduction
• Compose the main part of your work
• Ensure that each sentence conveys a clear thought
• Provide your arguments and examples to prove your thesis
• Ensure logical and understandable argumentation
• Avoid too many technical terms
• Avoid vague formulations
• Avoid subjective opinions

Tip: Let Mimir formulate your bullet point ( Example input : Running is great ➔ Result (1/3) : Running is a healthy and effective form of physical activity that can contribute to improving cardiovascular fitness, mobility, and mental health.)

Formatting: How to Properly Format Your Bachelor Thesis

It is important that you adhere to your university’s guidelines when formatting your bachelor thesis. Check the requirements for margins, line spacing, font size, and font type prescribed by your university.

It is also important to format your work consistently to achieve a professional look.

• Adhere to your university’s guidelines
• Check margins, line spacing, font size, and font type
• Consistently format your work
• Create a professional layout

Citing and Referencing: Rules for Citing and Referencing in the Bachelor Thesis

When referring to the ideas of other authors in your work, it is important to cite and reference them correctly. There are various citation styles you can use, but most universities use the Harvard or APA style.

Make sure to properly cite and reference all sources you refer to, to avoid plagiarism.

• Use the Harvard or APA style
• Cite and reference all sources you refer to
• Avoid plagiarism

Proofreading: Error Sources and Tips for a Flawless Bachelor Thesis

After you have written your bachelor thesis, it is important to thoroughly review it. Check the content for correct grammar, spelling, and structure. Also ensure that your arguments are clear and logical and that your statements are supported by your research.

It is important to proofread and edit your work several times. Make sure to correct all spelling and grammar errors so that your work looks professional.

• Read your work aloud to detect errors in grammar, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
• Use a dictionary or an online proofreading program to find errors in spelling and punctuation.
• Have someone else read your work and ask for feedback to gain additional perspectives and suggestions for improvement.
• Carefully review and revise your work to improve its quality and content. This can be done by adding examples, removing unnecessary information, or refining arguments.

Tip: Have your text checked by Mimir (Unscientific words, gender conformity, and more…)

Submission: How to Safely Submit and Defend Your Bachelor Thesis

Writing a bachelor thesis can be a challenging task, but if you follow the steps mentioned above, you will complete your work in a professional manner.

Don’t forget to adhere to the guidelines of your university.

Once you have reviewed and revised your bachelor’s thesis, it’s time to submit it. Make sure your work meets the requirements of your examiner and contains the correct information. If possible, have a friend or family member review it before you submit it.

Earning a bachelor’s degree is a great achievement, and creating a successful bachelor’s thesis is an essential part of this process. Remember, choosing a topic, conducting research, and writing a bachelor’s thesis can be a laborious process. However, if you have a clear schedule and follow the steps mentioned above, you can create a well-researched, informed, and organized bachelor’s thesis.

And last but not least: Congratulations!

Two Practical Examples of the Process

To better understand the steps and tips mentioned above, here are two examples from different academic areas:

• A psychology student writes a bachelor’s thesis on the effects of social media on the mental health of adolescents. She chooses this topic because it combines her personal interest and her expertise in psychology. She gathers information by reading textbooks and conducting interviews with adolescents and experts. She creates an outline consisting of an introduction, three main chapters, and a conclusion, and writes her paper accordingly. She makes sure to use quotes and references and to adhere to the APA formatting requirements. Finally, she carefully corrects her work and has it read by her teacher and a fellow student for improvement suggestions.
• A computer science student writes a bachelor’s thesis on the development of a new algorithm for machine learning. He chooses this topic because it reflects his expertise in computer science and his curiosity about new technologies. He gathers information by reading academic articles and communicating with other experts in his field. He creates an outline consisting of an introduction, three main chapters, a section on results, and a conclusion, and writes his paper accordingly. He makes sure to use citations and references and to adhere to the IEEE formatting requirements. Finally, he carefully corrects his work and has it read by his supervisor and a reviewer from a professional journal for improvement suggestions.

Bachelor Thesis bluest eye

Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, is a distinguished contemporary African-American novelist. She has penned six novels. Her very first novel The Bluest Eye is included in the Norton Anthology of Women's Literature. Her novels predict the oppression and pain of Black community living in America and attempt to promote Black culture. The present paper while building on existing criticism tries to explore the role of popular culture in establishing certain physical features as ideal beauty features and their psychological response on the individual. These commercial products, for instance items like cups, dolls, candies and movies, play a pivotal role in establishing beauty aesthetics. Regular exposure to these commercialized ideals results in their idealization and a longing in people to have these defining physical features of beauty. It creates an environment of superiority and inferiority. People who possess the defining features are considered superior to those who do not have these physical features. This adversely affects their psyche and becomes a reason for their downfall. The present paper foregrounds how simple things like cup images or candy wrappers can be a strong factor in influencing an individual's psychological response to beauty and his/her own self-importance.

This paper has been written to present the ideologies of black community regarding the standards of American beauty in Toni Morison's The Bluest Eye. How the captivating ideas of ethereal beauty in the form of whiteness devoured their sense of actual beauty. While they were tend to grab the spurious whiteness, they made themselves far from their ancestral beauty which is blackness. Eventually they have met with the predicament situation and the precious existences became perished. The ugliness of racism came forward throughout the novel and their sense of inherited beauty was sold by the hands of whiteness. Cite This Article As: Haque F (2016).

Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye is about the life of black people, more specifically about the black women in the United States. Being black, female and African American, the women in The Bluest Eye suffer a triple oppression. Historically, before the Civil War in America blacks (both male and female) were treated as animals or non-humans, having been stripped of all their human rights. But black women were (still are) more oppressed than their male counterparts, both in their family as well as in the society These women are ill-treated first by their family men like fathers or brothers and then by the white people. In consequence, they have lost their self-dignity and the feeling of being a human being. These women have been marginalized and forced to live on the boundary of social structures. The present research report aims to interpret Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye from the perspective of black feminism with emphasis on black women's oppression, their marginalized life, their struggle for survival. It also addresses the question black feminism with regards to racism, sexism and class conflict. My research report will focus on the problem of growing up of a black girl in American society and how they are marginalized by economic, sexual, racial and class discriminations which are the major issues in black feminism. It also points out the protest of black women.

IJAR Indexing

The Bluest Eye, a novel by Toni Morrison, uncovers the deplorability of excellence in the public arena. Living in Lorain, Ohio in 1939, a 11 year old African American young lady Pecola Breedlove longs for the \'bluest eye\', which she connects with a superior life where grown-ups wouldn\'t take a gander at her with a withdrew look and youngsters wouldn\'t taunt her. Drinking milk from a Shirley Temple container and picking \'Mary Jane\' confections for the traditionally wonderful young lady enriching the wrapper, Pecola demonstrates her yearning to one day have her family turn into the encapsulation of the \"Dick and Jane\" family. A long way from her optimal, Pecola\'s family battles to have any feeling of affection live in their home. Both Mr. what\'s more, Mrs. Breedlove physically mishandle each other, and later on, Pecola is sexually manhandled by her dad, the peak of the story. At the point when her dad is in prison for an alternate wrongdoing, her family is part up. She then goes to the MacTeers\' more steady home where Pecola turns out to be practically similar to a sister to the MacTeer young ladies, Frieda and Claudia. In the long run, Pecola\'s implausible wish gets the best of her, and she goes crazy, trusting she has the bluest eyes. Since she doesn\'t have blue eyes (she was deceived by malevolence Elihue, or Soaphead Church), individuals are not ready to see them, so she closes they are quite recently jealous.

To a great extent this beautiful quote will help the readers to understand the real approach of this paper. Since a long time beauty has been a demanding subject for writing. Every person/society/culture has its own views on the concept of beauty. Sometimes it becomes the subject of debate for both; As Men are to football as women are to their looks; Men mostly attempt to have a desire to be in shape for athletics, while women do it for everyday life. On the other hand beauty is considered to be in the eyes of beholder but society and environment can change the standards of what is viewed as beauty. In Afro-American culture this racialised beauty has very devastating effects in the lives and relations of the people. Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye is a very famous book which has this sort of beauty as its theme. Toni Morrison, one of the major literary figures in contemporary Afro-American fiction, was awarded the Nobel Prize for her outstanding contribution to English literature. Living in a completely racialised society, the lives of the people are determined and influenced, in one way or other, by the whiteness. No black novelist, even one tries to establish the black identity, is free of what would be called the power of whiteness. No black writer not even Toni Morrison, can escape this reality.

Sima Farshid

Toni Morrison’s first novel The Bluest Eye (1970) depicts the hideous effects of Euro-American discourse presented by various media on the life of African Americans. In her agonizing narrative, she dramatizes the operation of white-dominated media especially Hollywood movies in reinforcing the discourse of the blue-eyed, and confirming their racial superiority by spreading the “sequences of signs” that signify their “modalities of existence”. It is argued here that this process indicates the operation of a panoptic mechanism that controls blacks’ mindset and behavior almost in the same way that the supervisor of Behtham’s Panopticon’s central tower does, according to Foucault, with the difference that the controlling agent of this system is set in the wide-spread American media. Morrison portrays in a touching way how that system molds blacks’ state of mind, affects their feelings and induces a bitter sense of inferiority among them. Her novel relates the story of a poor black girl who suffers from the sense of ugliness and inferiority because of being black and finally goes mad, for the reason that American media permanently presents an image of beauty whose components are white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair – the very signs she lacks.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
