The document discusses hegemonic masculinity and its role in gender relations. It notes that hegemonic masculinity represents a dominant form of masculinity that is culturally endorsed. This masculinity positions women as subordinate to men and grants men social status and privilege. While not all men practice it, they still benefit from its effects on gender relations and power structures in society. The document appears to be the beginning of a research paper on hegemonic masculinity.

Corpus linguistics is an applied linguistics approach that has become one of the
dominant methods used to analyze language today. Biber et al. (1998) describe
corpus linguistics as having four main features; 1) it is an empirical (experiment
-based) approach in which patterns of language use that are observed in real
language texts (spoken and written) are analyzed, 2) it uses a representative sample
of the target language stored as an electronic database (a corpus) as the basis for the
analysis, 3) it relies on computer software to count linguistics patterns as part of theanalysis, and 4) it depends on both quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques
to interpret the findings.

Project Background
This project gives SMG teams the opportunity to become “Market Detectives” by investigating
stock prices to see if they follow particular patterns or cycles. Students will examine stock
prices to see if they have generally followed a presidential election cycle over the years. They
will determine if the most recent presidential term conforms to any historical pattern they find.
Students extend their knowledge to business cycles by determining whether the stock market
has followed these economic fluctuations. They discover that different categories of stocks
have often behaved differently during these economic fluctuations.
Teacher Background
“Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Perhaps that’s
because the weather follows a cycle – a sequence of events that repeats itself over a period of
time. Warm seasons gives way to cold ones, rainy days replace sunny ones, and so on. Cycles
are all around us – even in the stock market. One of them is the 4-year presidential election
cycle, which is revealed by an historical relationship between stock prices and presidential
terms. In past years, the stock market has generally lagged during the first two years of
presidents’ terms but has then increased rapidly in the last two, especially during the third, or
pre-election, year. There are various hypotheses for this phenomenon, one being that
presidents tend to implement any belt-tightening policies during the early years of their terms
but then unleash whatever economic stimulus they can during the final years preceding an
election. There is no generally accepted explanation for the cycle, however, and some
websites even state its existence has been discredited. As detectives, however, students can
investigate and form their own conclusions.

Write the word bicycle on the chalkboard and ask students to suggest explanations for its
derivation. Be sure they understand that the first syllable, bi, means two, and the second,
cycle, means circle or wheel. Ask students to think of similar words, such as tricycle and
motorcycle.
Write the word circle on the chalkboard and explain that the word cycle refers to something,
like a wheel, that has a repeating motion or pattern that goes in a circle. Draw a circle on the
chalkboard and write the four seasons as below to illustrate the cycle of seasons. Point out how
the cycle demonstrates a pattern that repeats itself.
Write the following definition of a cycle on the chalkboard:

Activities
Activity 1: Presidential Terms
Explain that the teams are going to become "Market Detectives" or historians in charge of
finding out whether there is a relationship or cycle relating to the last 17 presidential
elections.
The first step is to identify the names of the presidents during these 17 terms. Have teams
complete Activity Sheet 1. Ask the teams to compare their answers to be sure they have filled
in the blanks with the correct names.
Activity 2: Does the Dow Ride a Cycle?
Have students carefully read the introduction to Activity Sheet 2 and answer any of their
questions. Then have teams complete Activity Sheet 2. Have the teams share and compare
their graphs and answers to the two questions.
Activity 3: The Dow Now
This activity offers an opportunity for teams to compare the Dow’s performance during the
recent 4-year presidential term to its general pattern or cycle since 1941. If you want students
to update the table’s data to the most recent month available, visit the Yahoo! Finance
website before class and calculate the missing data according to the directions in the activity.
Before the teams begin the activity in class, review with them the instructions for updating the
table.
Have teams complete Activity Sheet 3 and then ask them to share their charts and answers in
class.
Assessment
Display the following question:
How would you invest in the first year of a new presidency?
Ask your students to use the Dow graphs they plotted in Activities 2 and 3 to draw conclusions
about what strategies they would employ investing during the first term of a new presidency.
To further assist your students display the following companies currently comprise the Dow
Jones Industrial Average:
3M Company Hewlett-Packard Company
Alcoa Incorporated Home Depot Incorporated
American Express Company Intel Corporation
American International Group Inc. International Business Machines
AT&T Incorporated Johnson & Johnson
Bank of America Corporation J.P. Morgan Chase & Company
Boeing Company McDonald’s Corporation
Caterpillar Incorporated Merck & Company, Incorporated

4. Chevron Corporation Microsoft Corporation
Citigroup Incorporated Pfizer Incorporated
Coca-Cola Company Procter & Gamble Company
Dupont United Technologies Corporation
Exxon Mobil Corporation Verizon Communications Inc.
General Electric Company Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated
General Motors Corporation Walt Disney Company
Ask your students how many already have shares of these companies in their portfolios? How
will the first term of a new presidency affect their decision to buy, sell, or hold the companies
they currently own?
If they do not already have shares of the companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial
Average, how will the first term of a new presidency affect their decision to buy one or more
of these companies?
Instruct your students to write an essay using the data available to present their investment
strategy and the impact the first year of a new presidency will have on it.

7. Activity Sheet 2: Does the Dow Ride a Cycle?
Since 1941 there have been 17 presidential terms of 4 years each. Each term has a first year,
second year, third year, and fourth (election) year. Suppose you wanted to know how the Dow
Jones Industrial Average (Dow) performed, on average, during each of these four years for all
17 terms. For example, did it usually average a higher percentage during the first year of the
presidents’ terms than it did during the second, third, or election year? You can find the
answer by using the table below. The table shows the Dow’s cumulative monthly growth during
the average presidential term since 1941. The last entry of 30% for December of the election
year is an illustration. It means the Dow was 30% higher at the end of the average presidential
term than it was at the beginning. (See the explanation at the bottom of the table.)
Use the graph on the next page to plot each of the table’s 48 points. Connect the points to
form a line.

Nov, 2% Nov, 7% Nov, 21% Nov, 29%
Dec, 3% Dec, 8% Dec, 24% Dec, 30%
The first entry of 1% at the top left of the table is calculated by averaging the monthly percentage changes of the Dow
during all Januaries of the first years of all 17 presidential terms. The second entry of 0% was calculated by averaging the
monthly percentage change in the Dow for all Februaries of the first years of all presidential terms. This average (-1%)
was then added to the 1% average of January to obtain the cumulative change in the Dow of 0% (1% - 1% = 0%). The
same procedure was used to calculate the cumulative changes for all successive entries.

2. Does the graph show that the Dow has followed a cycle during presidential terms?
8
9. Activity Sheet 2: Answer Key
1. What does the steepness of the line measure?
The steepness of the line indicates how fast the Dow Jones Industrial Average generally grew, on
average, during each of the four years of the average presidential term.
2. Does the graph show that the Dow has followed a cycle during presidential terms?
Yes. The Dow typically grew slowest during the first two years of the presidential terms and
fastest during the third year. While growth tended to slow in the final election year, it was still
greater than during the first two years. The Dow generally repeats this growth pattern during the
17 presidential terms, so it generally followed a cycle during these years.
9
10. Activity Sheet 3: The Dow Now
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has generally followed a presidential cycle since 1941. But
has the Dow followed a similar cycle during the current presidential term? You can find the
answer by using the table below, which shows the Dow’s cumulative monthly growth since the
beginning of President Bush’s second term in January 2005. If the teacher assigns you the task,
update the table by filling in the percentages for the latest months available. The following
box explains how.
Use the following web site to obtain the monthly number for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Click on “Dow” in the
upper left of the web page and then click on “Historical Prices” on the web page that opens. On the next page that
opens, click on “Monthly,” and change the dates to include the months from June 2008 to the latest month available.
Write down the monthly numbers for the Dow from June 2008 forward (or download them to an Excel spreadsheet).
http://finance.yahoo.com/?u
When you have the monthly date for June and some or all of the missing months, calculate the percentage change in
the Dow for each month. Add the monthly percentage change for August to the cumulative percentage change of 7.2%
shown in the table and insert that sum in the blank for August. This number is the cumulative percentage change since
the beginning of the presidential term in January 2005. Follow this procedure for the remaining months for which you
have data.

12. Activity Sheet 3: Answer Key
Does the graph show that the Dow has followed a pattern during the recent presidential
term that is similar to the one identified in the previous activity? If not, describe the
difference and give possible reasons for it.
While the Dow rose more strongly early in the second year, it generally followed the same cycle
until the last part of 2003, when it began to fall. This decline is very different from the presidential
cycle since 1941 in which the Dow rose during election years. Reasons for the recent decline
include a housing-market downturn, declines in the credit market, losses of banks and other
financial companies, soaring energy prices, and rising inflation.
