I analyzed how political inequality affects society and how the media perpetuates myths about it. I chose political inequality because it is a relatively untouched research area. What caught my attention was learning that it affects society in significant ways, such as limiting peoples access to resources and increasing gender and economic inequality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I do research:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0I love asking questions and finding answers to those questions. Research allows me to observe human behavior and learn why people behave the way they do. I do research because it allows me to satisfy my passion for learning with the guidance of my professors who are always more than willing to help me learn and grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conferences<\/strong>: ACU Undergraduate Research Festival 2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awards:\u00a0<\/strong>Outstanding Oral Presentation in the Social Sciences, ACU Undergraduate Research Festival 2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do research because it allows me to satisfy my passion for learning with the guidance of my professors who are always more than willing to help me learn and grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9214,"featured_media":487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[76751,76729],"tags":[76753,76738,76729],"class_list":["post-483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-student-researcher","tag-sociology-and-family-studies","tag-spur","tag-student-researcher"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9214"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/uresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
