The Student-Run Public Relations Firm In An Undergraduate Program: Reaching Learning And Professional Development Goals Through ‘Real World’ Experience, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Douglas J. Swanson, Ed.D APR
A student-run public relations firm can offer a variety of benefits for an undergraduate program in which there are limited resources for professional involvement by students. The article is a case study that profiles a student-run firm launched in conjunction with a capstone course in a journalism department. Specific learning and professional development goals were established for students, the department, and for clients served by the firm. The article presents a brief summary of successes, along with a discussion of opportunities and challenges. General recommendations are offered for establishing a student-run public relations firm.

Pop Culture In The Classroom: American Idol, Karl Marx, And Alexis De Tocqueville, Miguel Centellas
Pop Culture In The Classroom: American Idol, Karl Marx, And Alexis De Tocqueville, Miguel Centellas
Miguel Centellas
This article discusses the use of pop culture in the classroom as a means to teach foundational political science authors and concepts. I focus on my experience using Amer- ican Idol as a point of reference to discuss Marx and Engel’s The Communist Manifesto and Tocqueville’s Democracy in America in undergraduate comparative politics courses. Stu- dents are asked to construct a written argument projecting Marx or Tocqueville’s percep- tions of American Idol, based on their readings. My experiences demonstrate that asking students to reflect on their own contemporary experience through the prism of these two works helps them in three …

The Biology Of Reality Testing - Implications For Cognitive Education, Neil Greenberg
The Biology Of Reality Testing - Implications For Cognitive Education, Neil Greenberg
Neil Greenberg
• This report explores the proposition that teaching effectiveness can be enhanced by accommodating the key differences between two complementary and deeply engrained modes of reality testing, each predominantly centered in different hemispheres of the brain. • (1) Correspondence involves “reality-testing” of a percept, the cerebral representation of an experience in the world. • (2) Coherence involves “textualizing”, that is, reality-testing of a percept by how easily it relates to previous and ongoing parallel and collateral experiences. • Confidence in the validity of any percept throughout development is related to the interplay of these key processes. • As organisms develop, …

The Definition Of A “Soldier”, Toby S. Jenkins
The Definition Of A “Soldier”, Toby S. Jenkins
Toby S Jenkins
Black men have been placed under the social radar and microscope for centuries in an attempt to better define what it is, means, or feels to be a black man. Everything from their genetic makeup to their mental psyche has been examined, defined, and discussed. And through it all, black women have offered up their own critical thoughts, words of support, and opinions on the dilemma of being black and male in America. The views have changed as much as the experiences that our men have faced—from enslavement to imprisonment, from no education to mis-education, from predatory practices leading to …
Mr. Nigger The Challenges Of Educating Black Males Within American Society, Toby S. Jenkins
Mr. Nigger The Challenges Of Educating Black Males Within American Society, Toby S. Jenkins
Toby S Jenkins
The underachievement, lack of inclusion, and backward progression of African American men within American society, and particularly within the educational arena, has once again surfaced as a trend that demands immediate attention. However, the challenges of reversing the negative circumstances facing African American men requires transforming a broad array of social, political, economical, psychological, and educational issues that are deeply rooted in the very power structure of America. On one hand, the society espouses rhetoric of concern and desire to elevate Black males, but, on the other hand, practices a policy of oppression, prejudice, and disregard. Put differently, the experience …

Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Transboundary environmental problems do not distinguish between political boundaries. Global warming is expected to cause thermal expansion of water and melt glaciers. Both are predicted to lead to a rise in sea level. We must enlarge our paradigms to encompass a global reality and reliance upon global participation.
The Paradox Of Ideology, Justin Schwartz
The Paradox Of Ideology, Justin Schwartz
Justin Schwartz
A standard problem with the objectivity of social scientific theory in particular is that it is either self-referential, in which case it seems to undermine itself as ideology, or self-excepting, which seem pragmatically self-refuting. Using the example of Marx and his theory of ideology, I show how self-referential theories that include themselves in their scope of explanation can be objective. Ideology may be roughly defined as belief distorted by class interest. I show how Marx thought that natural science was informed by class interest but not therefore necessarily ideology. Capitalists have an interest in understanding the natural world (to a …
From Libertarianism To Egalitarianism, Justin Schwartz
From Libertarianism To Egalitarianism, Justin Schwartz
Justin Schwartz
A standard natural rights argument for libertarianism is based on the labor theory of property: the idea that I own my self and my labor, and so if I "mix" my own labor with something previously unowned or to which I have a have a right, I come to own the thing with which I have mixed by labor. This initially intuitively attractive idea is at the basis of the theories of property and the role of government of John Locke and Robert Nozick. Locke saw and Nozick agreed that fairness to others requires a proviso: that I leave "enough …

Analise Quantitativa Do Currículo Escolar [Quantitative Analysis Of The School Curriculum], Karl M. Lorenz
Karl M Lorenz
O livro descreve e demonstra a aplicação de um sistema quantitativo de analise do currículo escolar. O objeto de analise é o Currículo Nominal, o que é um elenco organizado de disciplinas com suas cargas horarias. O sistema consiste de uma bateria de coeficientes que geram dados através de um Microanálise da composição e organização de um único currículo, e de um Macroanálise que focaliza as características de mais de um currículo. Acompanhando a explicação dos coeficientes e os procedimentos dos dois tipos de analise são quatro estudos que ilustram a aplicação e utilidade dos coeficientes em descrever os currículos …
