Notes
Abstract: As Americans adjust to the high-tech life of the twenty-first century, accommodate to the heightened socio-political awareness caused by today’s current events, and to the severe recession affecting the American economy, I observe distinct change underway in today’s society. Electronically-based forms of media entertainment are becoming more popular than live theatre and produce a greater socio-political impact than live theatrical plays. Are such observations accurate? Can they be proven empirically? If these observations are correct, will live theatre become extinct or obsolete in the twenty-first century both as a popular form of entertainment and as a medium for social change? For this investigation, I will examine scholarly literature, survey two contrasting classes of students from the University of North Texas, and then report, analyze, and discuss the findings.

The Eagle Feather
Launched in 2004 by UNT's Honors College, The Eagle Feather was an interdisciplinary undergraduate research journal that promoted the work of students and their faculty mentors. The Eagle Feather was published annually until 2017 when it transitioned into the North Texas Journal of Undergraduate Research.
This collection presents scholarly and artistic content created by undergraduate students. All materials have been previously accepted by a professional organization or approved by a faculty mentor. Most classroom assignments are not eligible for inclusion. The collection includes, but is not limited to Honors College theses, thesis supplemental files, professional presentations, articles, and posters. Some items in this collection are restricted to use by the UNT community.
