I finally finished reading the chapters from the MLA Handbook that were assigned for this week. From the chapter about Titles of Sources, I learned that if I want to use the title of the source in my writing, I should take the title from the authoritative location in the work. An exception to this rule is unusual typography, such as standardization of capitalization and subtitle punctuation. According to the chapter, capitalization is allowed for all principal words, such as nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and subordinating conjunctions. However, some of the words cannot be capitalized. For example, articles, prepositions, conjunctions and infinitives when they fall in the middle of a title.

The depoliticized bureaucratization and marketing of "multiculturalism" and diversity that followed in the 1980s and 1990s solidified what Hall (2009) calls “the four food groups
