Item Artifacts : a journal of undergraduate writing, Issue 4, 2010 January : contents page(Campus Writing Program, 2010) University of Missouri-Columbia. College of Arts and Sciences. Department of English. Artifacts.Contents pageItem The Gate to marriage : benefits and detriments of arranged marriage(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Ji, YuThe processes of choosing a lifetime partner dramatically differ between Western and Eastern cultures. In Western cultures, mates select one another directly based on interpersonal attraction. Since marriage is not the primary task of starting a relationship, family members are not likely to get involved when a person is starting a relationship. In the Eastern cultures, however, marriage is regarded as the primary pre-requisite for a relationship and it is often arranged by family members.Item Gastrointestinal disease and diet(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Short, PatrickDespite the large number of people affected by digestive diseases, gastroenterologists maintain a less than optimal course of treatment. The medical community has largely ignored the role that diet plays in treating and often curing gastrointestinal diseases. In this paper, I will explain, through my own experiences and through the work of those who have promoted a specific diet for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, how the medical community is oblivious to an important treatment for patients struggling with digestive disease.Item Feminism in Austen's Northanger Abbey(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Whitecotton, SaraIn the excerpt from Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," she responds to Dr. John Gregory's "A Father's Legacy to His Daughters," where he discusses his view of proper womanly behavior. Wollstonecraft echoes Austen's view that women are individuals with intellectual and creative capacities equal to that of men's. In both Northanger Abbey and "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," the two female authors question common social customs and assert that women should act rationally for themselves instead of simply attempting to impress the opposite sex.Item The Anti-ana(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Horan, MichelleAccording to the National Eating Disorders Association, NEDA, about 35 million people suffer from Anorexia or Bulimia, and millions more suffer from disordered eating.
