with readers and viewers from around the world. By dreaming seemingly
impossible dreams and garnering triumph in the face of mounting obstacles,
Che has inspired the generations that have followed him. The life of Che,
which is a myth of idealism, has captivated the hearts of many around the

Media And Teaching About The Middle East, Khodi Kaviani
Media And Teaching About The Middle East, Khodi Kaviani
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
This qualitative study was conducted in 2006-2007 and found that teachers relied on a variety of readily available media to stay informed about the Middle East and used some of them in their teaching. Teachers tried to explain to their students that every Middle Eastern Muslim is not a terrorist and Iraq was not behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The guiding questions were: (1) What are the sources of news that teachers use to teach about the Middle East? (2) How do teachers use the media to teach about the Middle East in the post 9/11 schools? Semi-structured interviews were …
Power Politics In The Baltic, Harold E. Barto, Reginald M. Shaw
Power Politics In The Baltic, Harold E. Barto, Reginald M. Shaw
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
A year ago the attention of the world was focused upon central Europe. Then for a brief moment Poland flashed, and today the Baltic Sea region is in the spotlight. After a lapse of some two centuries, this sudden re-appearance of the Baltic to assume a major role in European affairs calls for comment. Touching upon these Baltic waters are six small democracies (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Esthonia, Liatvia, Lithuania) and two powerful totalitarian states ( Germany and Russia.) In view of recent and current developments, two questions arise : ( 1) will one or both of the totalitarian states control …
Backgrounds Of German-Polish Relations, Harold E. Barto
Backgrounds Of German-Polish Relations, Harold E. Barto
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
Poland's leading role in Europe's most recent crisis which has developed into the Second World War has given new emphasis to her position in world affairs. Due perhaps to the varied course of events that have attended Polish destinies for her 1000 years of history, press dispatches relative to her past are sometimes wholly inadequate and not infrequently confusing. It is with the hope of giving the average reader a fuller background of Polish affairs that this article has been written. The writer has endeavored to deal with the events briefly and as objectively as is humanly possible.

Logics: Subverbal, Verbal, And Superverbal: An Approach To Evolutionary Psychology, Selden Smyser
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
Let us attempt in thirty minutes to trace the million-year history of man's blundering yet ever more successful efforts to learn to think, to solve problems, to cooperate, construct and create. If we can trace the important steps by which the man-animal has become man and has developed thought patterns for the discovery of the truth he needs to guide his action and to solve his problems, we shall in so doing indicate the essential nature of a phylogenetic psycho-logic of importance for a fundamental science of education, i.e. a science of the evolution of human intelligence.
The Curriculum And A World Point Of View, Harold E. Barto
The Curriculum And A World Point Of View, Harold E. Barto
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
If a spirit of true international friendship is to be inculcated, we must be taught to recognize the achievements of other peoples; be made to realize that their problems are our problems; and, not least of all, be shown that fundamentally we are more alike than different. Teachers are being asked to educate the new generation to the new social order. However, their efforts both by precept and example will be futile so long as they are bound by a curriculum which is too narrow in scope to meet the demands of modern trends.
