Democracy & Philanthropy: The Rockefeller Foundation and the American ExperimentThe Rockefeller Foundation
Many argued in 1913 that Rockefeller wealth seemed poised to undermine the democratic character of American institutions. Under the shadow of public concern, the trustees of The Rockefeller Foundation launched programs to strengthen American political institutions, promote equal opportunity in a plural society and reinforce a shared sense of national identity. The relationship between democracy and philanthropy has been constantly tested over the last century. Democracy & Philanthropy: The Rockefeller Foundation and the American Experiment offers insights and anecdotes to guide the next generation of American philanthropists.
Globalization as Americanization? Beyond the Conspiracy TheoryIOSR Journals
Globalization and its major engines (growing human capital, free markets, increasing cross-border interaction) have created a new world order that has incited passionate debate, pro and con. In recent culture studies, one of the foremost explorations concerns the influence globalization has upon culture. In fact, one of the most common criticisms we hear about the globalization of today‟s world is that it is producing mainly one culture, it is destroying diversity, and it is bringing everyone into the same global culture. Actually, much of the sociological hype about cultural globalization, defined as the diffusion of cultural values and ideas across national borders, sees it as synonymous with homogenization. Cultural globalization is, thus, one of the major concerns of academics, journalists, political activists and leaders of “cultural preservation” movements who despise what they see as the trend toward cultural uniformity. They usually regard global culture and American culture as synonymous and, thus, express serious concerns about their cultural distinctiveness.

Esta ponencia fue presentada a la Asociación Argentina de Derecho Administrativo y tiene por objeto establecer las formas de interpretación que tiene la autoridad administrativa al momento de aplicar el derecho (AUTOR: JOSÉ MARÍA PACORI CARI)
This paper sheds some light on how the American Dream was galvanized with the discovery of America and how it was evolved into a glimmer of hope for social, sexual, racial, economic and religious equality, democracy, wealth and freedom, which sugars the pills of negative consequences of the American Dream. Considering that dream is something which has not been achieved yet, the American Dream is nothing less than a social criticism of society and a preview of their struggle for the rights that they deserved, and yet they did not have. Although the American Dream was launched innocently and optimistically for a better life, it fell short of expectations in the end. On the contrary, it turns to a nightmare haunting American people with the fear of intolerance of difference, violence, alienation, isolation, ostracism, scapegoating, discrimination, materialism and capitalism. In this paper, the low-down of the American Dream behind its dazzling display will be analysed through two plays: Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story. Ultimately, it will be concluded that the American Dream is a bomb programmed to exterminate itself and only human virtues such as compassion, forgiveness, love, empathy and sacrifice can bring salvation to mankind in the grip of injustice, depression, emotional breakdown, moral decline, and social collapse.
1). In The Sources of Soviet Conduct George Kennan (under the al.docxNarcisaBrandenburg70
1).
In "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" George Kennan (under the alias "X") argues that the United States was fundamentally challenged as a nation-state by the Soviet Union. In trying to account for Soviet conduct, Kennan says a lot about the nature of the United States and its role in the world. Indeed, at the end of the essay he implies that the U.S. holds a moral and political leadership over the rest of the world. Kennan's view of the U.S. is both popular within U.S. politics and as relevant today as it was in the 1947. What can we draw from Kennan to better understand the U.S. role in the world today; and what elements of Kennan's analysis pose challenges to global governance?
2). "
As we face up to the costs both of fundamentalist terrorism and of fighting it, must we not ask ourselves how it is that when we see religion colonize every other realm of human life we call it theocracy and turn up our noses at the odor of tyranny; and when we see politics colonize every other realm of human life we call it absolutism and tremble at the prospect of totalitarianism; but when we see market relations and commercial consumerism try to colonize every other realm of human life we call it liberty and celebrate its triumph? There are too many John Walkers who begin by seeking a refuge from the aggressive secularist materialism of their suburban lives and end up slipping into someone else’s dark conspiracy to rid the earth of materialism’s infidels. If such men are impoverished and without hope as well, they become prime recruits for jihad."
First, does a market based society alienate those marginalized from it; and if so, then is this a sufficient condition to foment terrorism, whether based on Islam or more domestic variants found in the U.S.?
3). Huntington writes, "It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most powerflil actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future."
Do you agree with Huntington's hypothesis? Why or why not?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Assignment 2 - Present and Future History, Second World and The Next 100 Million
1. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana<br /> This quote could serve as introduction to both “The Next Hundred Million,” by Joel Kotkin and “Second World,” by Parag Khanna. These conjectural works, heavily influenced by the subjective perspective of the authors, examine past and current social, cultural and economic factors and attempt to predict world affairs in fifty years. While both books are well researched and provide insightful opinions of what the future may hold, their tone and outlooks are very different.<br />“Second World,” by Parag Khanna<br /> Currently living in New York City, Parag Khanna is truly a “world citizen.” Born in India and raised in the U.A.E., he is a PhD in international relations, having studied in the U.S.A., Germany and the United Kingdom. Speaking six languages, he has served or directed several major think-tanks and provided insight to President Obama’s campaign. His opinions have appeared in many major media outlets, including The New York Times, CNN and Al Jazeera.<br /> Khanna is of the new breed of international thinkers. He makes full use of media connectivity through his website, Facebook and Twitter accounts. This unprecedented level of communication and connectivity is one of the main factors shaping the changing world. Changes facing the world today are the main focus of Parag Khanna’s lifework.<br /> He states the world and the future are influenced by three major players, China, the European Union and the United States as they interact with nations having characteristics of both developed and third-world countries, his so-named “Second World.” Each of the three has their own diplomatic style in advancing their economic and cultural views throughout the world. China, he says uses consultation, the E.U. favors consensus and the U.S. uses coalitions to lead in the twenty-first century.<br /> Khanna clearly feels the E.U. and China’s world leadership is ascendant and will eclipse that of the U.S., a nation he sees as an arrogant, decaying imperial power. His biases, ignoring or belittling the negatives of China and the E.U. while decrying the sins of the U.S. reduced this book from an objective analysis of international relations to a biased Op-Ed piece.<br /> <br /> His 320 page book studies the interactions of dozens of nations and hundreds of cultures. Yet his conclusion, titled, “The Search for Equilibrium in a Non-American World” outlines only the inevitable and to his mind, deserved collapse of the U.S. Parag Khanna seems more an elite theorist enjoying the comforts and privileges of the U.S. (the liberal democracy he criticizes) and less the visionary, “world thinker” he portrays. For all his knowledge of countries and cultures, he seems to have missed the long-standing dynamic synergy of the U.S. that has caused it to continually surprise and confound the world throughout its history.<br />“The Next Hundred Million,” by Joel Kotkin<br /> Interestingly, that dynamism is a main focus of Joel Kotkin’s “The Next Hundred Million” a work detailing his vision of the U.S. in the next 50 years. Joel Kotkin is a UC Berkeley educated professor of urban development, a fellow at a London think tank and a columnist for the New York Times. In place of predicted decline, Joel Kotkin sees the future U.S. as, “…the youngest, most vibrant country in the advanced industrial world,” albeit a vastly changed nation and culture from today.<br /> China and the E.U. have declining population rates. Kotkin points out this means a reduced labor force at the same time as a growing number of care-requiring elderly. He also historically links low fertility with socioeconomic decline, noting, “The desire to have children is an affirmation of faith in the future...” And while American birth rates have dropped, Kotkin sees a population increase, largely through immigration.<br /> A large percent of that next hundred million will be Chinese and Hispanics. Kotkin sees them moving here for reasons recognizable to all American immigrants, near-unlimited space and the opportunity of individual success.<br /> Kotkin warns that the U.S. of 2050 will be virtually unrecognizable from today. He foresees a polyglot racial mix, with some 40% to 50% non-white. Large corporations and employers will be replaced by many small companies and individuals, many working from home.<br /> These new citizens will be drawn to the vast, open spaces America still possesses. Kotkin sees them re-filling the heartland and moving to the suburbs so looked down upon by many people raised there. <br />Kotkin feels the re-invigoration of these areas will occur for the same reasons the nativist fears of the 1800s were not realized.<br /> America has greatly benefitted in the long run by the unique circumstances found here by most immigrants. Immigrants cluster together, building connections through family, businesses, churches and social institutions. This creates a synergy, a classic “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” that confounds America’s critics and prognosticators.<br /> Kotkin cites Fuji Kamiya, a Japanese professor at Tokyo’s Keio University. Kamiya described a unique American quality that acted as a “reserve power that allows it to overcome both the inadequacies of its leaders and the foibles of its citizens.” Kamiya called this phenomena sokojikara.<br /> Kotkin sees this sokojikara based on open immigration, an innovative, entrepreneurial economy and vast natural resources. As these three factors remain largely unchanged from the 1800s (relative to the rest of the world) this deep-rooted synergy should continue for these newest of citizens.<br /> People seeking opportunity have always felt America offered it in ways their homeland could or would not. Joel Kotkin’s “Next Hundred Million” feels these opportunities still abound and the immigrants seeking them will revitalize America in the 21st century even as they forever change the nation. He and the current and future immigrants see this in a way that Parag Khanna and many native-born critics do not.<br /> Used book sales are filled with ridiculous, dated predictions of what was to come. They were all written with the surety and fervor that only self-convinced theorists can muster. Time will tell whether Parag Khanna’s “Second World” or Joel Kotkin’s “The Next Hundred Million” is more accurate. After an analysis based on history, Joel Kotkin’s vision seems more likely.<br />
