¶ … Arts Degree Contributes to My Career Goals

The purpose of the NCO as established throughout its history from the very beginning was focus on leadership roles. As the history of the NCEO, the educational component of the NCO shows, academic instruction was a requirement of the program – the NCEO was indeed established with that in mind, and it has been only recently that hands-n components have been added in order to bring the NCEO into line with the 21st century and as response to the 2001 terrorist scare. Nonetheless, the focus on leadership with sub categories of trust, self-confidence and technology in order to fulfill this requirement, has been the modus vivendi of the program. Recently, the NCEO has become more involved in assessing and regulating Soldiers physical fitness and weight control standards. The argument of this essay is that doing so deviates from their mission who is to accentuate the soldier's leadership component and to help him develop towards that end.

Interdisciplinary Studies – Academic Disciplines – Communications and Women's Studies Communications Studies and Women's Studies are wide-ranging globally important disciplines with applications in fields as diverse as education, law, business and nonprofit administration, for a few examples. Arizona State University has excellent programs in both Disciplines. The ASU Hugh Downs School of Human Communication takes a comprehensive approach to the area of "Communications," encompassing both Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. By studying and critiquing human communications, ASU's program seeks to create "knowledge, creativity and understanding" vital to families, workplaces and communities. Stressing foundational knowledge of communication theories, research methods, conceptual knowledge and practical communications skills, the program is focused on creating globally effective professionals in communications-related fields such as law, business, sales, human resources, public relations and management of nonprofit organizations. By preparing undergraduates and graduates for communications-related fields that are relevant worldwide, ASU is addressing the needs of an increasingly complex, shrinking globe. Equally globally relevant is Arizona State's Women's Studies program. ASU offers Women's Studies within the broader context of "Social Transformation," a field that also probes African and African American Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies, Culture, Society and Education, Justice and Social Inquiry. Clearly, ASU's Women's Studies program is not a narrow topic that is merely focused inward; rather, it is an interdisciplinary, diverse, multiple-perspective program seeking to engage students in various majors, minors and other fields of study. The obvious object of such a program is its students' readiness for local and global relevance by tackling such subfields as gender, health, sexuality, science and technology, work, globalization, ecology, social policy, violence prevention, media, film, performance and the arts through specifically named subfields such as: Culture; Economics; Film; History; Literature; Politics; and Science. In sum, though Communications Studies and Women's Studies are treated as distinct Disciplines, their ultimate purpose is the preparation of individuals for worldwide multidisciplinary relevance.

America provides us with huge opportunities. It promises immigrants the possibility of starting life anew in a (whether true or not) an endlessly opportunity-filled country. Children of immigrants can break out of their poverty and classlessness and become paragons of this new society, landing positions in academic and business. Opportunities are endless, but, t the same time, these opportunities can only be achieved at massive loss. Many of the immigrants find out too late that opportunity causes loneliness and rootedness as wells loss of their mother-culture. Melting pot though it no longer is – we believe that each culture is afforded their own space – the quoted authors demonstrate nonetheless that America, still to this present day, imposes a certain pressure to succeed. Success is synonymous with Americanization. It is this that results in the dichotomy of America talking about family values, on the one hand, but preaching and pushing a life of self-sufficiency on the other.
