What is People?

The study of people sits at the center of nearly every academic discipline, from sociology and psychology to literature, public health, and political science. Essays grouped under this broad topic examine human behavior, identity, social roles, and the systems that shape individual lives. Because the subject touches so many fields, students encounter it in introductory composition courses, upper-division humanities seminars, and professional programs alike. Works like Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Langston Hughes' "Night Funeral in Harlem" appear alongside nursing research and immigration policy, reflecting how questions about what it means to be human cross disciplinary boundaries and resist simple answers.

The papers archived here take a wide range of approaches. Literary analysis appears in close readings of Hughes and Sophocles, while social and policy perspectives drive essays on immigration, reintegration after incarceration, and technology dependence. Applied professional angles emerge in work on nursing evidence-based practice, physical education teacher burnout, and strategic staffing. Personal narrative and descriptive writing feature in essays about historical figures and memorable life events, while research-oriented pieces examine extracurricular activity, premarital factors, and quality improvement initiatives. This variety shows that writing about people can mean analyzing a character, evaluating a workplace policy, or reflecting on lived experience.

A strong essay on any aspect of this topic needs a focused, arguable thesis rather than a general statement about humanity. Evidence that carries weight includes specific examples, credible research, or close textual detail depending on the assignment type. The most common pitfall is scope creep — trying to address all of society when the essay should examine one clear issue, case, or idea in meaningful depth.

Johnny Carson's construction of an understated persona on the Tonight Show

The paper examines Johnny Carson's thirty year stint as host of NBC's Tonight Show (1962-1992), and inquires what gave Carson his immense popularity and staying power. Carson's status as a "representative adult" is explored, and it is noted that to a certain extent he set the limits for what was and was not permissible in American humor. The politics of the Carson show is discussed, and emphasis is placed on the great difference between broadcasting during the era of the three major networks, which were "the only game in town", and broadcasting today, twenty years after Carson's retirement, when the proliferation of cable and internet content makes it impossible to achieve the kind of cultural centrality that Carson had.

Building social intelligence through high school dance planning and participation

The students, in conjunction with school staff, parents, and other adult members of the community should organize and participate in a social event, such as dance or party.
