Title: Psychopaths and Religion: The Amalgamation and Sanitation Through Cultural Media.
Abstract/Description: The focus of this academic research paper will be on the representation of cannibal murderers and psychopaths through different forms of cultural media and cinematic media. It will focus on how through cinema and media, the narrative of crime has dehumanized the psychopath's human actions and the reasoning, or logic, behind their actions; how it has created a modern day mythological monster that has no “real” human connections so we can move on as a society without looking at our own basic human nature. It will include the religious undertones from the beginning of time until now, how through literature and society we've criminalized the psychiatric disorder in order to control, purify, and discipline “criminal human conditions” through asylums and understand them through philosophy, and how the media as well as cinema has sanitized us of our connections to them. It will also cover how we as a society have isolated “them” from us and created a modern day “boogeyman.” The paper will also touch a bit on how as a society this form of media consumption has dehumanized and desensitized our own reasoning when confronted with the modern day “Boogeyman.”

Title: Standardized Testing in Education.
Abstract/Description: This paper offers insight pertaining to the effects, both the positives and negatives, of standardized testing in education. Following the recent reform in education, through programs such as America’s Choice and Common Core, the emphasis on standardized testing has shown a devaluation in the higher level students and an emphasis on both lower and mid-level students. This paper also presents information that shows why standardized testing is negatively impacting public education, instead of elevating it. As the deflation in performance increases, the moral amongst teachers and students sharply decreases, so does their mental health. Along with the national perspective in education, this paper compares how many foreign nations have approached, and succeeded in their education systems. This paper is comprised of information, statistics and professional insight on the effects of standardized testing; gathered from a wide variety of peer-reviewed and government sources.

Title: The Fundamental description of energy.
Abstract/Description: Energy is seen everywhere, and is described scientifically as “the ability to do work”. This definition works well for most, if not all, cases concerning energy and its interaction with everyday lives. Energy is commonly measured as Joules or the Newton Meter, although simple and reasonable I think there is a misconception to the fundamental idea and measurement of energy. One may ask “If Joules is not energy, then what is a Joule and what really is energy?” I describe energy the same as before, the ability to do work, however the measurement of energy is different, and the Joules measurement is similar if not the same, in most if not all cases, where a Joule is taking a bit longer path to arrive to the same destination, while Momentum is the direct path to the same destination. One may wonder, how did I come this conclusion, while in Physics class one day, I was learning about energy and how it is measured, I also learned that when an object’s velocity is doubled its overall energy is quadrupled, this puzzled me as to how this could be, if something doubles and more than double is returned, where did the excess come from, and how could this be proven or even corrected to my view?

Title: The Remains and Artifacts of Ancient Floridians Found at the Bottom of Windover Pond in Brevard County.
Abstract/Description: This abstract examines the remains and artifacts of ancient Floridians found at the bottom of Windover Pond located in Brevard County, close to Titusville, Florida. In 1984, well preserved human remains were found that dated back 7,000 years ago. The lack of oxygen and neutral PH are two of the main factors that allowed the remains to stay in such exceptional shape for so long. This find is incredible because it shows a glimpse into how the first Floridians lived their life through hunting and gathering. Examining the artifacts that were found with them will show how they had the means to medicate themselves using various plants that extended their lives sometimes to fifty years old. My research will be examining the many ways in which these ancient people were able to sustain their lives, as well as how they died; whether it was by some trauma that occurred during hand to hand combat, by old age, or due to a life threatening medical situation.

Title: The Renewed Search for an Ancient Fort.
Abstract/Description: Eric Mongar posits that culturally, historically, and environmentally Florida is more Latin than American, and explores an argument that Fort Caroline - generally believed to have been located in Jacksonville along the St. Johns River - may have actually been in Georgia as a lens to examine the influence the Spanish had on the state. Starting with the Fort's original founding by the French, Mongar follows the evidence of its development through the work of Senator Charles Bennett in the 20th century to preserve the area.
