American Citizenship


Can We Pass The Test?

American Citizenship

I'm the daughter of an American soldier and with that comes pride of my American heritage, and love and pride for our country. I have thought of myself as being a patriot, which I am. But I have found out to my dismay, that we as Americans have not gone to any length to know enough about our country.

I feel very lucky that I was born here.

Online there is a citizenship test, similar to the test that those from other countries are required to take. I took the test and made a score of 6 out of a possible 11. I regarded that as a low score but the test said not that bad.

I was disappointed in myself, a daughter of a ww2 vet, who knew so little about my country.

It amazes me that those from other countries would sacrifice so much, their families and those they love to come to a country so different from their own.

They have to live in America five years, obtain good employment, and there are those that even marry American citizens to obtain citizenship to our country.

Many of them learn our language and have countless obstacles to overcome to stay in our country and obtain a citizenship that I have taken so easily for granted.

It makes me more grateful that I was born here, and it has opened my eyes that I need to be more informed about how country.

Let’s talk about language—and its role for replicability

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Published online: 25 January 2025; doi:10.1057/s41599-025-04381-2

Science strives towards a credible and comprehensive understanding of the world around us. Across disciplines within the social and behavioural sciences (and beyond), limitations in the implementation of the scientific approach have been identified in recent studies, showing low replicability of many results. This is an issue for knowledge accumulation, theory-building, and evidence-based decision and policy making. Researchers have proposed several solutions to address these issues, focusing mainly on improving statistical methods, data quality, and transparency. However, relatively little attention has been paid to another key aspect that affects replicability: language. Across fields, language plays a central role in all steps of the research cycle and is a critical communication tool among researchers. Neglecting its role may reduce replicability and limit our understanding of theoretically interesting differences and similarities across languages. After identifying these challenges, we provide some recommendations and an outlook on how replicability challenges related to language may be addressed.

Being there but where? Sense of presence theory for virtual reality applications

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Published online: 24 January 2025; doi:10.1057/s41599-025-04380-3

The sense of presence—the psychological experience of “being there”—has emerged as a critical phenomenon in Virtual Reality (VR) research. While traditional approaches have predominantly focused on technological features as primary drivers of presence, this paper argues that such a view is fundamentally incomplete. We contend that presence is primarily a psychological phenomenon shaped by three critical dimensions that extend beyond mere technological sophistication: (1) the impact of content and narrative structure in virtual environments, (2) the influence of users’ individual characteristics and socio-cultural contexts, and (3) the relationship between presence and users’ intentional structures. Through a synthesis of current evidence, we demonstrate that these psychological and social factors often outweigh technical considerations in determining the quality of presence experiences. As immersive technologies become increasingly prevalent in shared environments and sensitive contexts such as education and healthcare, this more sophisticated understanding of presence becomes crucial for designing effective virtual experiences. We argue that future VR development should shift from a predominantly technology-centered approach to one that carefully considers these psychological and social dimensions to achieve intended outcomes while accounting for individual and cultural variability.
