JUNIUS BASSUS SARCOPHAGUS Another pagan convert to Christianity was the city prefect of Rome, Junius Bassus, who, according to the inscription on his sarcophagus (FIG. 8-7), was baptized just before he died in 359. The sarcophagus is of eclectic format—decorated only on three sides in the western Roman manner (see Chapter 7), but divided into two registers of five compartments, each framed by columns in the tradition of Asiatic sarcophagi (FIG. 7-61). In contrast to the Santa Maria Antiqua sarcophagus (FIG. 8-6), the deceased does not appear on the body of the coffin. Instead, stories from the Old and New Testaments fill the niches. Christ has pride of place and appears in the central compartment of each register: as a teacher enthroned between his chief apostles, Saints Peter and Paul (above), and triumphantly entering Jerusalem on a donkey (below). Appropriately, the sculptor placed the scene of Christ’s heavenly triumph above that of his earthly triumph. Both compositions owe a great deal to official Roman art. In the center of the upper zone, Christ, like an enthroned Roman emperor, sits above a personification of the sky god holding a billowing mantle over his head, indicating that Christ is ruler of the universe. The scene below derives from portrayals of Roman emperors entering cities on horseback, but Christ’s steed and the absence of imperial attributes contrast sharply with the imperial models the sculptor used as compositional sources. All of the Old Testament scenes on the Junius Bassus sarcophagus are precursors of New Testament events (see “Jewish Subjects in Christian Art,” page 213). Adam and Eve, for example, are in the second niche from the left on the lower level. Their Original Sin of eating the apple in the Garden of Eden ultimately necessitated Christ’s sacrifice for the salvation of humankind. To the right of the entry into Jerusalem is Daniel, unscathed by flanking lions, saved by his faith. At the upper left, Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac. Christians believe this Old Testament story was a prefiguration of God’s sacrifice of his own son, Jesus. The Crucifixion itself, however, does not appear on the Junius Bassus sarcophagus.

INTERACTIONS AMONG POVERTY, ACCESS TO MODERN ENERGY SOURCES, AND GENDER IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT
This study examines the interactions among poverty, access to modern energy sources and gender in Nigeria. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression technique are used. The 2010 Nigeria Living Standard Survey data set obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics is used. The findings of the study show, among other things, that contrary to what happens in many countries of the world, both incidences of poverty and lack of access to modern energy sources are more pronounced among male-headed households than among female-headed households. The logistic regression estimates show, among other things, that poverty reduces the odds in favor of having access to modern energy sources and while female headship of household reduces the odds in favor of being in poverty, it increases the odds in favor of having access to modern energy sources. The forgoing should serve as invaluable guide to the Nigerian government and policy makers.

INTRODUCTION
A major socio-economic problem plaguing Nigeria is poverty. In recent times poverty has become pervasive in Nigeria. Associated with the poverty problem in Nigeria is the gross inadequacy in access to modern energy sources. Most Nigerian households use inferior/environmentally harmful sources of energy for cooking and lighting (National Bureau of Statistics, 2005). The use of such inferior sources of energy - like firewood, charcoal, crop residue, animal waste and sawdust - causes environmental pollution which ultimately leads to reduction in health status and productivity.
Both poverty and access to energy sources have gender dimension. Women are said to be more vulnerable to poverty than men. Despite the great role women play in nation-building, they do not receive commensurate economic reward. It is noteworthy that the great role women play in the development process is clearly ref.

LION GATE, HATTUSA The Babylonian Empire toppled in the face of an onslaught by the Hittites, an Anatolian people who conquered and sacked Babylon around 1595 BCE. They then retired to their homeland, leaving Babylon in the hands of the Kassites. Remains of the strongly fortified capital city of the Hittites still may be seen at Hattusa near modern Boghazköy, Turkey. Constructed of large blocks of heavy stone—a striking contrast to the brick architecture of Mesopotamia—the walls and towers of the Hittites effectively protected them from attack. Symbolically guarding the gateway (FIG. 2-18) to the Hattusa citadel are two huge (seven-foothigh) lions. Their simply carved forequarters project from massive stone blocks on either side of the entrance. These Hittite guardian beasts are early examples of a theme that was to be echoed on many Near Eastern gates. Notable are those of Assyria (FIG. 2-21), one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and of the reborn Babylon (FIG. 2-24) in the first millennium BCE. But the idea of protecting a city, palace, temple, or tomb from evil by placing wild beasts or fantastic monsters before an entranceway was not unique to the Near Eastern world. Examples abound in Egypt, Greece, Italy, and elsewhere.

Can someone please help me out I had posted this paper over a week .docx
Can someone please help me out? I had posted this paper over a week ago to have done by tonight. an individual had responded, I paid a $15 down payment and they never completed it and I can not seem to find them online any more. I am in desperate need of some help. Please help me. I can not pay anything until Thursday.
For your third Individual Project, you will be writing
an essay of 1,000 words or more about two additional poems from the assigned reading list
. Please select two works from the list of fifteen—excluding the one you already reflected on in Part A of the Phase 3 DB assignment—and answer the questions below. Again, be sure to begin your paper with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement, develop each point in the body of your paper using examples and quotes from the poems, and conclude your paper with a restatement of your thesis and closing remarks. Also, make sure you maintain your credibility by including in-text citations and a reference list correctly formatted in APA style.
Imagery: What visual images can you identify in both poems? Comment on the details you notice about objects, places, people, colors, textures and so forth. Which of your other senses are stimulated by the poets’ descriptions?
Figures of Speech: List the specific metaphors, similes, puns and other figures of speech each poet uses and how they contribute to the poem’s overall meaning. (Remember, figurative language is not literal but rather suggestive of something else. For example, the metaphor, “Jack is a pig,” is not a reference to an actual animal with hooves but rather someone named Jack who has pig-like qualities or mannerisms.)
Symbolism: Identify the symbols you notice in each poem. What abstract concepts (e.g., love, death, truth) might the concrete objects (e.g., persons, places, things) suggest?
Language and Word Choice: Every word in a poem has been included (or left out) after much deliberation, as poets choose their words very carefully.

Creative Teaching: Designing Culturally Relevant Instruction
For the Final Project, you will assume the role of a classroom teacher applying for a $10,000 Teacher Creativity Fellowship Grant. This award provides financial resources to teachers, which allows the recipient to spend time during the summer months developing an instructional experience that will be implemented and evaluated during the upcoming fall semester. This year’s grant recipients are awarded funding on the condition they develop instructional experiences and programs to support the learning of 21st century skills, specifically, creative and innovative skills.
To further prepare for your Final Project, imagine you teach in a culturally diverse school, and you recognize a need to develop more culturally relevant instructional experiences that promote creative and innovative thinking. After carefully examining the information in the request for proposal for the grant described above, you realize the funding awards are based on the clarity and details of a ten-part form submitted for evaluation. After careful deliberation, you decide to apply for the grant to finance your time and help you obtain the resources needed to develop the proposed instructional experiences. A primary component of your plan requires consideration of the culture and specific needs of each child enrolled in your class (or one of your classes) for the upcoming semester.
Writing the Final Project
Create your Final Project to meet the content and written communication expectations below. The content expectations include the ten parts of the request for proposal. If you have questions about the expectations for this assignment, use the Ask Your Instructor discussion section in the left-navigation pane of your course.
Content Expectations:
Part I: Audience and Rationale (1 point): Write an overview of the class and target population, including the age range, grade and/or subject area, and other relevant attributes of the culture in which school is situated.
Part II: Outcomes (1 point): List the instructional outcomes (i.e., learning objectives) of the instructional experience including (a) Content Outcomes, (b) 21st century skills with an emphasis on creativity and innovation and the International Society for Technology in Education technology skills, and (c) cultural competencies explicitly facilitated within the planned learning experience.
Part III: Assessment (1 point): Describe how you will measure the degree to which the learners have acquired your targeted outcomes. You do not need to develop the assessments, just describe what they would be in some detail.
Part IV. Context Description (2 points): Describe the nature of the overall instructional context established by addressing (a) creativity (i.e., learners involved in making or creating something), (b) problem solving (i.e., overall activity focuses on solving a specific or ill-defin.

Project Reviews
Subbu Murthy
T
HE PURPOSE OF PROJECT reviews depends on the project life cycle (see
Figure 19.1). Understanding the purpose of a review is as important as the
review itself. In the early stages of the project, reviews are typically held to
assess the project impact across the portfolio of other projects, evaluate alternatives,
and make decisions to continue the project or abandon them.
In the planning stages, reviews are held to assess the project costs, schedule, and
risks. They are also held to establish the high-level scope and interfaces with other
projects and to evaluate resource allocations. The reviews in the early stage and the
planning phase play a key role in prioritizing and sequencing the project.
In the execution stage, reviews are focused on understanding the project specifica-
tions (requirements, design, etc.), assessing the progress of the project, and assessing
project quality.
Postimplementation reviews are also crucial as they serve to assess overall
performance and review the key lessons learned. They also help understand the true
causes of variance. In a majority of IT projects, poor specifications and scope creep are
the two strong determinants of cost and schedule variances.
Project reviews share four characteristics: (1) They are measurable, (2) they have
specific goals, (3) they deliver direct or indirect benefits to customers or stakeholders,
and (4) they are triggered by a specific milestone or a preestablished schedule.

CONCEPTS
Every review must have a purpose, and the purpose must be aligned to the specific
project needs. In addition to identifying the purpose of the review, some of the
fundamental aspects of a project review to consider are the frequency of the review
(weekly versus monthly or quarterly), granularity (detailed versus high level), and
whether reviews are scheduled (weekly, monthly, quarterly) or event driven (such as
completion of a project milestone). The audience for the project review depends on the
purpose of the review. Management, technical architects, developers, quality assurance
personnel, users, finance, and other functions may have to be involved, depending on
the type of review.
While the frequency of review and granularity of reviews depends on .

You are the assistant director of human resources. Janice Marshall has asked you to review the Code of Ethics to determine if John has violated its provisions. You are to prepare a paper that addresses the following:
1. Evaluate International Widgets' Code of Ethics at the conclusion of the You Decide scenario. Do any provisions prohibit John's behavior? Please explain.
2. In addition to a possible ethics violation, could International Widgets pursue other legal avenues against John and/or its competitor? Review your textbook and library references to assist you in answering these questions.
3. Is John in a fiduciary relationship with International Widgets? Why or why not? Is he an agent of International Widgets? Identify the duties and responsibilities of an agent and whether or not John is fulfilling those obligations. Review your textbook and library references to assist you in answering these questions.
4. What action should Gloria take involving John?
00:00
In this scenario, you will evaluate the Code of Ethics to determine if John Anderson has violated International Widgets' Code of Ethics by engaging in business with a competitor.
00:00
The human resources department worked with management to carefully craft a Code of Ethics. All employees received a copy of the code and were required to sign off stating that they had read the code and agreed to abide by its conditions. If an issue concerning an employee occurs, the human resources department investigates. As the assistant director of human resources, you are asked to evaluate an employee's behavior. You meet with Gloria Smithson to obtain all information needed to begin your investigation.
00:00
Gloria has now been in business for 2 years. Her business is called International Widgets, and she employs more than 300 people in the business headquarters. In the early stages of the business, she created a Code of Ethics to govern employees' behavior. Recently, one of her salespeople, John Anderson, seems to be underperforming. Historically, he has been a stellar employee and salesperson, bringing in new clients every month. However, over the last 6 months, not only has he not brought in any new business, but 30% of his accounts have gone to a competitor. Even with this downturn, John was on the road 5 days a week and continued to submit expense reports. Is this ethical?
00:00
Janice is the director of human resources at International Widgets. Recently, Janice met with Gloria to let her know of a rumor in the company that John was actually steering some of his accounts to a competitor because the competitor gave him a kickback.
00:00
John has been employed by International Widgets for 14 months. He likes his job but was recently approached by a competitor with an offer he could not refuse. The competitor wanted to expand his domestic market and asked John to work with him.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ANALYSISBefore you begin this assignment, b.docx
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the “UMUC Haircuts Case Study” and be sure to take a look at the “Walmart Example.”
Overview of Business Environment Analysis for UMUC Haircuts
UMUC Haircuts has been in business since 1995 and has
seen an increase in competition from a variety of competitors, as described in the Case Study.
With the news that a Hair Cuttery is likely to open only five miles away, Myra, the owner of UMUC Haircuts,
is concerned and has begun analyzing her situation and what could be done to remain competitive in this changing environment.
She has recognized that scheduling her employees and her customers is causing her problems, and she thinks she should focus on that first, as it is fundamental to her business.
Myra also believes that there must be a technology solution that could help her run her salon, but she has no idea where to start.
You are a Systems Analyst, and Myra has asked you to help her with determining how she can improve her business.
Myra has requested, specifically, that youverify and provide added support to her own analysis that has resulted in the identification of a Strategy for Competitive Advantage and a Business Process for Improvement.
This will be the basis for defining business and systems requirements for an IT solution.This Strategy and IT
Solution
will help to bring UMUC Haircuts into the 21
st
century and taking advantage of current technology
. You will analyze her business environment using Porter's Five Forces Analysis.
Then, you will use the results of that analysis to explain how it supports Myra’sStrategy for Competitive Advantage, and the business process that she selected for improvement through the use of technology.
It is important to note that a business owner has many areas where improvements can be made, such as:
staff, building facility, supplier agreements, advertising, etc.
There are also many possible solutions that could improve the business strategy and processes.
Since time and costs are involved, the owner should address basic problems first in choosing the Strategy and which processes to improve. (Consider a lemonade stand; while it would be nice to have a table to sit behind and serve the lemonade to customers, that is not crucial;however,having lemonade and cups are crucial to the business.)
A second important concept for this class is that, among all the ways that competitive advantage and processes can be improved, the focus is on information technology solutions.
In your role as a Systems Analyst, you will be supporting Myra's selected strategy and process for improvement, and proposing an appropriate IT solution.
This work begins with an analysis of UMUC Haircuts using the Five Forces Model.
Five Forces Analysis:
You know that Michael Porter’s Five Forces Model is a useful tool for analyzing a business.
The Model is used to help understand the importance of the five competitive forc.

Imagery: What visual images can you identify in both poems? Comment on the details you notice about objects, places, people, colors, textures and so forth. Which of your other senses are stimulated by the poets’ descriptions?
Figures of Speech: List the specific metaphors, similes, puns and other figures of speech each poet uses and how they contribute to the poem’s overall meaning. (Remember, figurative language is not literal but rather suggestive of something else. For example, the metaphor, “Jack is a pig,” is not a reference to an actual animal with hooves but rather someone named Jack who has pig-like qualities or mannerisms.)
Symbolism: Identify the symbols you notice in each poem. What abstract concepts (e.g., love, death, truth) might the concrete objects (e.g., persons, places, things) suggest?
Language and Word Choice: Every word in a poem has been included (or left out) after much deliberation, as poets choose their words very carefully. Remark on the following in each poem: Does the poet use informal or formal language? Does he or she write in an older dialect or contemporary English? Provide examples.
Tone: What tone does each poet take (e.g., sad, humorous, sarcastic, loving, etc.) toward his or her subject matter?
Themes: What are the main messages of both poems? Give reasons for your answers.
Sound: Read both poems aloud. What do you notice about their rhythms, rhyme schemes and musicality? How does listening to the sound of a poem differ from merely reading it as words on a page?
Final Thoughts: Poetry can enlighten and/or evoke deep emotion in readers. Express the impact each of the two poems you have analyzed for this assignment had on you. What insights did you gain about life or human nature, and what feelings did each piece stir in you? Has your view of poetry changed in any way since reading and analyzing the Phase 3 poems? Explain your answer

Creative Teaching: Designing Culturally Relevant Instruction
For the Final Project, you will assume the role of a classroom teacher applying for a $10,000 Teacher Creativity Fellowship Grant. This award provides financial resources to teachers, which allows the recipient to spend time during the summer months developing an instructional experience that will be implemented and evaluated during the upcoming fall semester. This year’s grant recipients are awarded funding on the condition they develop instructional experiences and programs to support the learning of 21st century skills, specifically, creative and innovative skills.
To further prepare for your Final Project, imagine you teach in a culturally diverse school, and you recognize a need to develop more culturally relevant instructional experiences that promote creative and innovative thinking. After carefully examining the information in the request for proposal for the grant described above, you realize the funding awards are based on the clarity and details of a ten-part form submitted for evaluation. After careful deliberation, you decide to apply for the grant to finance your time and help you obtain the resources needed to develop the proposed instructional experiences. A primary component of your plan requires consideration of the culture and specific needs of each child enrolled in your class (or one of your classes) for the upcoming semester.
Writing the Final Project
Create your Final Project to meet the content and written communication expectations below. The content expectations include the ten parts of the request for proposal. If you have questions about the expectations for this assignment, use the Ask Your Instructor discussion section in the left-navigation pane of your course.
Content Expectations:
Part I: Audience and Rationale (1 point): Write an overview of the class and target population, including the age range, grade and/or subject area, and other relevant attributes of the culture in which school is situated.
Part II: Outcomes (1 point): List the instructional outcomes (i.e., learning objectives) of the instructional experience including (a) Content Outcomes, (b) 21st century skills with an emphasis on creativity and innovation and the International Society for Technology in Education technology skills, and (c) cultural competencies explicitly facilitated within the planned learning experience.
Part III: Assessment (1 point): Describe how you will measure the degree to which the learners have acquired your targeted outcomes. You do not need to develop the assessments, just describe what they would be in some detail.
Part IV. Context Description (2 points): Describe the nature of the overall instructional context established by addressing (a) creativity (i.e., learners involved in making or creating something), (b) problem solving (i.e., overall activity focuses on solving a specific or ill-defin.

Project Reviews
Subbu Murthy
T
HE PURPOSE OF PROJECT reviews depends on the project life cycle (see
Figure 19.1). Understanding the purpose of a review is as important as the
review itself. In the early stages of the project, reviews are typically held to
assess the project impact across the portfolio of other projects, evaluate alternatives,
and make decisions to continue the project or abandon them.
In the planning stages, reviews are held to assess the project costs, schedule, and
risks. They are also held to establish the high-level scope and interfaces with other
projects and to evaluate resource allocations. The reviews in the early stage and the
planning phase play a key role in prioritizing and sequencing the project.
In the execution stage, reviews are focused on understanding the project specifica-
tions (requirements, design, etc.), assessing the progress of the project, and assessing
project quality.
Postimplementation reviews are also crucial as they serve to assess overall
performance and review the key lessons learned. They also help understand the true
causes of variance. In a majority of IT projects, poor specifications and scope creep are
the two strong determinants of cost and schedule variances.
Project reviews share four characteristics: (1) They are measurable, (2) they have
specific goals, (3) they deliver direct or indirect benefits to customers or stakeholders,
and (4) they are triggered by a specific milestone or a preestablished schedule.

CONCEPTS
Every review must have a purpose, and the purpose must be aligned to the specific
project needs. In addition to identifying the purpose of the review, some of the
fundamental aspects of a project review to consider are the frequency of the review
(weekly versus monthly or quarterly), granularity (detailed versus high level), and
whether reviews are scheduled (weekly, monthly, quarterly) or event driven (such as
completion of a project milestone). The audience for the project review depends on the
purpose of the review. Management, technical architects, developers, quality assurance
personnel, users, finance, and other functions may have to be involved, depending on
the type of review.
While the frequency of review and granularity of reviews depends on .

You are the assistant director of human resources. Janice Marshall has asked you to review the Code of Ethics to determine if John has violated its provisions. You are to prepare a paper that addresses the following:
1. Evaluate International Widgets' Code of Ethics at the conclusion of the You Decide scenario. Do any provisions prohibit John's behavior? Please explain.
2. In addition to a possible ethics violation, could International Widgets pursue other legal avenues against John and/or its competitor? Review your textbook and library references to assist you in answering these questions.
3. Is John in a fiduciary relationship with International Widgets? Why or why not? Is he an agent of International Widgets? Identify the duties and responsibilities of an agent and whether or not John is fulfilling those obligations. Review your textbook and library references to assist you in answering these questions.
4. What action should Gloria take involving John?
00:00
In this scenario, you will evaluate the Code of Ethics to determine if John Anderson has violated International Widgets' Code of Ethics by engaging in business with a competitor.
00:00
The human resources department worked with management to carefully craft a Code of Ethics. All employees received a copy of the code and were required to sign off stating that they had read the code and agreed to abide by its conditions. If an issue concerning an employee occurs, the human resources department investigates. As the assistant director of human resources, you are asked to evaluate an employee's behavior. You meet with Gloria Smithson to obtain all information needed to begin your investigation.
00:00
Gloria has now been in business for 2 years. Her business is called International Widgets, and she employs more than 300 people in the business headquarters. In the early stages of the business, she created a Code of Ethics to govern employees' behavior. Recently, one of her salespeople, John Anderson, seems to be underperforming. Historically, he has been a stellar employee and salesperson, bringing in new clients every month. However, over the last 6 months, not only has he not brought in any new business, but 30% of his accounts have gone to a competitor. Even with this downturn, John was on the road 5 days a week and continued to submit expense reports. Is this ethical?
00:00
Janice is the director of human resources at International Widgets. Recently, Janice met with Gloria to let her know of a rumor in the company that John was actually steering some of his accounts to a competitor because the competitor gave him a kickback.
00:00
John has been employed by International Widgets for 14 months. He likes his job but was recently approached by a competitor with an offer he could not refuse. The competitor wanted to expand his domestic market and asked John to work with him.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ANALYSISBefore you begin this assignment, b.docx
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the “UMUC Haircuts Case Study” and be sure to take a look at the “Walmart Example.”
Overview of Business Environment Analysis for UMUC Haircuts
UMUC Haircuts has been in business since 1995 and has
seen an increase in competition from a variety of competitors, as described in the Case Study.
With the news that a Hair Cuttery is likely to open only five miles away, Myra, the owner of UMUC Haircuts,
is concerned and has begun analyzing her situation and what could be done to remain competitive in this changing environment.
She has recognized that scheduling her employees and her customers is causing her problems, and she thinks she should focus on that first, as it is fundamental to her business.
Myra also believes that there must be a technology solution that could help her run her salon, but she has no idea where to start.
You are a Systems Analyst, and Myra has asked you to help her with determining how she can improve her business.
Myra has requested, specifically, that youverify and provide added support to her own analysis that has resulted in the identification of a Strategy for Competitive Advantage and a Business Process for Improvement.
This will be the basis for defining business and systems requirements for an IT solution.This Strategy and IT
Solution
will help to bring UMUC Haircuts into the 21
st
century and taking advantage of current technology
. You will analyze her business environment using Porter's Five Forces Analysis.
Then, you will use the results of that analysis to explain how it supports Myra’sStrategy for Competitive Advantage, and the business process that she selected for improvement through the use of technology.
It is important to note that a business owner has many areas where improvements can be made, such as:
staff, building facility, supplier agreements, advertising, etc.
There are also many possible solutions that could improve the business strategy and processes.
Since time and costs are involved, the owner should address basic problems first in choosing the Strategy and which processes to improve. (Consider a lemonade stand; while it would be nice to have a table to sit behind and serve the lemonade to customers, that is not crucial;however,having lemonade and cups are crucial to the business.)
A second important concept for this class is that, among all the ways that competitive advantage and processes can be improved, the focus is on information technology solutions.
In your role as a Systems Analyst, you will be supporting Myra's selected strategy and process for improvement, and proposing an appropriate IT solution.
This work begins with an analysis of UMUC Haircuts using the Five Forces Model.
Five Forces Analysis:
You know that Michael Porter’s Five Forces Model is a useful tool for analyzing a business.
The Model is used to help understand the importance of the five competitive forc.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
