The purpose of this study is to examine whether the European Union's (EU) eurocrisis forms of traditional and social media are propaganda. Shortly after the eurocrisis started, the EU began to release favorable economic and European unity media. The EU blamed the United States and/or the Leman Brothers without placing blame on the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) started in 1998 or national/supranational problems. EU information campaigns are vast and cover many different aspects, but in 2013, the EU spent a total of $3.98 billion on information campaigns. The hypothesis asserts the European Union's use of traditional and social media on the Eurozone crisis is propaganda because the EU information campaign's messages are partly false, made to influence, appeals to emotion, serves an agenda, only presents one side of an argument, few points, presents popular opinion and the messages say different things but have the same meaning. Media was gathered from the EU Bookstore, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube; produced by the European Central Bank, Council of the EU, European Commission and European Parliament. The rubric was used for analysis and to code eurocrisis messages for propaganda elements. Finally, data gathered, determined which EU institution produced and media outlet disseminated the most propaganda elements.

This essay analyzes the historical construction of "Spanish" icons in northern New Mexico and the complex Hispanic and Chicano identities they both evoke and mask. It focuses on the January 1998 vandalism of a statue depicting New Mexico's first Spanish colonial governor, Don Juan de Oñate. The removal of the Oñate statue's foot references a brutal colonial encounter in 1599, when Oñate ordered the amputation of one foot each from Pueblo men in the rebellious Native American village of Acoma. In this case study, national and regional narratives as well as self-consciously oppositional narratives collude, conflict, and supplement one another. I conclude that the vandalized statue offers a dynamic and "open" icon that powerfully represents the contradictions of New Mexican Chicana/o identity, shedding light on the complex and contradictory identities of all Mexican-origin peoples in the United States.

Abstract. Background: Heterosexism has been identified as being a contributing factor of suicidality in sexual minority adults (SMA), and social support is believed to be important for mitigating these effects. Research evaluating racial/ethnic differences in suicidality among SMA is limited despite racial/ethnic minorities being at greater risk. Aims: We aimed to examine the associations between heterosexism, suicidal ideation, and social support in a sample of racially/ethnically diverse SMA. Method: SMA ( N = 239) were recruited as part of an online survey on sexuality and health based in the United States. Results: There were significant positive main effects of heterosexism and significant negative main effects for non-White racial/ethnic identity on suicidal ideation. There were significant negative main effects for social support from family and a significant other but not from friends. A significant interaction of social support from a significant other and racial ethnic identity was qualified by a significant three-way interaction with heterosexism. Social support from a significant other buffered the effect of heterosexism on suicidal ideation among non-White but not among White SMA. All other interactions were not significant. Limitations: Within-group differences of racial/ethnic groups and other domains of social support were not examined, and the cross-sectional nature of the data precludes causal inference. Conclusion: Support from a significant other may be important for suicidality, particularly for racial/ethnic minority SMA.
