    How Personally Relevant Cases of COVID-19 Influence Individuals’ Level of Concern towards the Virus
    (2021-04-05) Nicklas, Timothy J
    This paper presents the findings of a statistical analysis exploring the ways in which personally relevant cases of COVID-19 influence an individual's level of concern towards the virus. The analysis makes use of public opinion data collected throughout the pandemic by a market research company called Ipsos. This study conducts an OLS regression analysis using three different samples of data from three distinct periods of time during the pandemic. The paper addresses each component of the study's deductive approach, outlining everything from the initial hypothesis to the conclusions and broader implications. Ultimately, this study does show evidence that an individual's personal experience with COVID-19 influences their attitudes towards the virus. This is consistent with the findings of previous psychological research that has explored how personally salient information affects humans' attitudes and beliefs.

    Enmity and the Enemy: Public Order and Free Speech Regulation within Post-Colonial India
    (Penn Journal of Philosophy, Politics & Economics, 2025) Norah Rami
    The multicultural environment of India poses unique challenges to free speech and public order in both a colonial and post-colonial context. Framed within the controversy of sedition charges against Arundhati Roy, this paper will pay particular attention to 153A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which has shifted from a paternalistic colonial hate speech law to a nationalist tool for restricting speech through sedition. On the whole, this paper will provide an intimate look into the historical and cultural conditions that have bridged blasphemy, hate speech, and sedition under the pretense of maintaining cultural harmony within India.

    Putin's Chosen People: THeories of Russian Jewish Policy, 2000-2017
    (2018-04-27) Parker, Benjamin
    Despite support from and for right-wing elements and a deep-seated national history of anti-Semitism, the policies of the Russian government under Vladimir Putin have been markedly devoid of anti-Semitism. Appeals to nationalist, imperialist, and Eurasianist ideologies, pragmatic politics, and foreign policy concerns fail to explain these policies adequately. The biography of Putin himself, which includes influential, positive relationships with Jews, provides a better explanation. The personalized influence of the president on Jewish policy suggests a personalized, hyper-centralized regime generally.

    The Rationality of Fair Division as an Equilibrium Outcome in the Ultimatum Game
    (2017-11-10) Buley, Taylor W
    Economic man is self-interested and rational. But in practice, humans often act irrationally and sacrifice their own self-interest for the benefit or detriment of another’s outcome. Rooted in the same fundamental economic principles, is formal game theory, then, a wash? This paper sets out to bring together evidence from recent discussion in behavioral and evolutionary game theory in an attempt to rationalize fair division as a short run equilibrium strategy played by self-interested and rational human beings in the ultimatum game.
