The Government Tunes In To Tune Out The Marketing Of Violent Entertainment To Kids, Shannon Mccoy

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note examines the recent investigation conducted by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") and its 2001 Follow-Up to that inquiry. The September 2000 Report ("Report") concluded that the entertainment industry intentionally and aggressively advertises both R and PG-13 movies to children under the age of 18. As a solution, the FTC recommended self-regulation by the entertainment industry. The 2001 Follow-Up to the Report ("Follow-Up") found that although the movie industry has made progress, a greater effort must be exerted to successfully eliminate the marketing of violent entertainment to children.' Both the Report and the Follow-Up demonstrate that self-regulation …

Development And Evaluation Plans Of A Denominational Program To Equip Local Church Leaders With Creative Thinking And Problem Solving Techniques, Richard C. Harris

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The problem investigated within the Free Methodist Church was that church leaders (pastors and lay leaders) lacked skills in how to proactively engage churches in creative thinking and problem solving. The purpose of this project was to develop a program to help church leaders improve creative thinking and problem-solving skills and to design a plan for evaluating such a program.

There were four comprehensive research questions for this study. The first was "What is the subject matter of a comprehensive program for developing in church leaders the skills and attitudes needed to improve creative thinking and problem solving? The second …

The Youngs At West Point, J. Michael Hunter

Faculty Publications

In 1871, Willard Young, eleventh son of Brigham Young, was the first Mormon to receive an appointment to West Point Academy. His attendance at the military academy drew national attention and criticism from opponents of polygamy. Despite the opposition, he soon gained the respect of his classmates and graduated fourth in his class. He returned to teach engineering in 1879, served in the Spanish-American War, earning a commendation from President McKinley, and during World War I was supervisor of army engineering work on the Missouri River. In 1877, one of Brigham's grandsons, Richard W. Young, was the second Mormon to …

Continuity In Dynamic Coalition Operations, Holly A. H. Handley, Larry K. Wentz, Alexander H. Levis

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications

The combination of participating organizations in a coalition operation often changes over time; the coalition is dynamic and evolves over the course of its mission. A given organization may participate in the coalition only at the stage where its expertise or resources are most needed, while other organizations may participate through the entire course of the operation. As these are independent organizations coming together for a limited time to meet a specific goal, the structure of the coalition must be able to accommodate the different command arrangements, procedures, and other characteristics of each organization. In order to develop a theory …

Twentieth Century American Tragedy: Defining Aristotelian Hamartia And Its Allegorical Function In Philip Roth's "I Married A Communist", Vicki Lynn Short

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Philip Roth's novel I Married a Communist exhibits an important thematic current, one which demonstrates how immoderation in individual human character both reflects and proliferates an irrational and insidious political divisiveness, and more importantly, the far-reaching and devastating effects that extremism has on the individual. This theme is clearly derivative of Aristotle's ideas regarding literature and ethics. Furthermore, applying these ideas with those in Aristotle's Poetics, namely the concept of hamartia, I demonstrate how immoderation becomes the impetus for peripeteia, the reversal of fortune that ultimately destroys the novel's tragic hero, as defined by Aristotle.

Leesburg, Florida During World War Ii: Portrait Of An American Home Front, Robin C. Tinsley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

World War II has been considered a "golden age" for Americans, years during which civilians cooperated in defense programs and faced shortages with cheerful self-sacrifice. The wartime experiences of individual communities such as Leesburg, Florida, provide pieces of the national mosaic and offer insight into small town perspectives of home front duty and obligation. Leesburg's residents faced the same adjustments as other Americans, and their immersion in wartime activities cultivated characteristic home front patriotism. Though the town's population nearly doubled when unprecedented military expansion brought thousands of personnel into the area, and hundreds of German POWs arrived to ease the …

Significance Of The Space Between: A Consideration Of Liminality, Meditation, And Modernity In Selected Poems By Wallace Stevens And Charles Baudelaire, Charles S. Wonn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

The state of liminality, as defined by Mihai Spariosu and exemplified by Wallace Stevens and Charles Baudelaire, is a significant one, transitional in its "structure," and one in which a vital activity takes place. Namely, this activity is the moving between worlds, states, or perceptions, and the choice of new ones, or of considering new potentialities. Essentially, this idea of being in limbo and the result of this state of "in-betweenness" is that we emerge from a relatively indeterminate, contemplative, and subjective space with an ultimate satisfaction or heightened or altered awareness. Much of Stevens's poetry, especially his later poetry, …

Outrage, Cass R. Sunstein

Utah Law Review

Outrage is a common reaction to perceived wrongdoing. Those who feel outrage are often motivated to injure or punish wrongdoers, whether through violence, law, or otherwise. But how are legal outcomes affected by outrage? Inside and outside of law, how do people translate their outrage into more tangible penalties? How does group discussion affect outrage? Are groups more outraged than individuals or less so?

The King's One Too Many Eyes: Language, Thought, And Comparative Law, Igor Stramignoni

Utah Law Review

Martin Heidegger's meditating thinking can be hard to access-though by now a possible inroad into that thinking will have begun to emerge and, with it, some intimation of a possible, radically "other" way of thinking comparative law. On the other hand, there is also little doubt that parts of Heidegger's thinking are best left to obscurity. Nevertheless, Heidegger's work has been one generous if underplayed source of inspiration for many late twentieth century thinkers such as, for example, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Niklas Luhmann and the younger Jirgen Habermas. Thus, comparative lawyers, too, might find it fruitful to …

Performing Multiple Identities: Guillermo Gómez-Peña And His Dangerous Border Crossings, Juan Velasco

English

Guillermo Gómez-Peña is one of the few Mexican performance artists who, since he came to the United States in 1978, has been able to create and explore the merging of visual language and text in the complexities of cross-cultural identities through controversial issues. Labeled by some as one of the most significant performance artists of the late twentieth century, he uses multiple media: video, performance, installation art, and bilingual poetry. In his "Performance Diaries" he explains the process of performance in his work as "a vast conceptual territory where my eclectic and ever-changing ideas and the ideas of my collaborators …

[Introduction To] Alegorías De La Disidencia: El Teatro De Agustín Gómez-Arcos, Sharon G. Feldman

Bookshelf

This book is a case study of the relationship between art and oppression. It is the first book devoted to Gomez-Arcos, a member of a "lost" generation of Spanish dramatists who were silenced during the Franco era. It addresses three crucial issues that define both his literature and his life: censorship, exile, and bilingualism.

Migration And Cultural Identity: Performing The Afro-Caribbean Woman's Struggle, Elvinet Samantha Wilson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Current research suggests a relationship between cultural identity negotiation and the phenomenon of border crossing. While a wealth of literature exists on the topic of migration, few studies reflect a scope that includes in-depth analysis of the experiences of Afro-Caribbean women in the United States.Through ethnographic and autoethnographic methodologies, and using a feminist theoretical lens, this study explores issues relating to cultural identity negotiation in the lives of 10 Black women from Jamaica, The Bahamas, and Trinidad, who now reside in the Midwest region of the United States. Analysis based on a grounded theory approach, allowed themes to emerge from …
