Christensen and Haas argue that political movies both reinforce and dissent from public opinions on issues of the day. Regardless, they constantly reiterate messages that cynicism and apathy towards politics is inevitable. They praise films that condemn intolerance and corruption but criticize those that depict politics as evil, ignore collective action, and disparage alternative opinions. The authors admire films like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Reds that portray a more positive vision of democracy.
USA Police: #Peacemakers by Dan Flora & Joanna Reyes - #BHMASLifeBrandhome
Context
In Europe, there has been a lot of negative press around the police in the USA. Severe (perceived) violence against Afro-Americans has been dominating the image of the police force, and thus also the USA. The Afro-American community on their side has been portrayed as a community with a strong and negative attitude towards policemen as a result of the incidents.
Both sides of course are facing major stereotypes against each other, pushing them further away from each other. From the media coverage, it seems like Afro-Americans are being treated differently because of their ethnic background and the prejudices that come with it. Policemen on the other hand are seen as one homogeneous group of people, driven by superiority and racist views.
Just like in any situation, simplifying the world in this way is not a good basis to start from. Therefore, the USA government would like to change this.
Challenge
It is your job to develop an original campaign that succeeds in breaking these stereotypes. The ultimate goal is to break the current vicious circle and make both groups respect each other and start interacting with one another in a more positive way. Next to influencing these two target groups, the campaign should succeed in turning around the negative perception of other groups (and media) by showing a positive image.
Deliverables
Develop an out of the box campaign that is based on the same ‘big idea’ to reach and influence these specific target groups. You can make use of any communication channel you want, but be aware: you are talking to a very large and widespread audience. Basically you are talking to everyone everywhere. So make sure your proposal is scalable.

Paper#1In his great work, Black Reconstruction in America 1860.docxsmile790243
Paper#1
In his great work,
Black Reconstruction in America 1860 to 1880
, historian W.E.B. Du Bois wrote this: "One reads the truer deeper facts of Reconstruction with a great despair. It is at once so simple and human, and yet so futile. There is no villain, no idiot, no saint. There are just men; men who crave ease and power, men who know want and hunger, men who have crawled."
Assess the events of Reconstruction from the perspective of the nearly four million newly freed Americans in the South, starting with the death of Lincoln and ending with the Compromise of 1877. What went right? What went wrong? What would you have done differently?
Make sure to provide authoritative sources in APA format.

Paper#2
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most complex figures in our nation's history. He was also president during a period in which, before radio or TV, political cartoons in newspapers truly flourished. Choose one cartoon of TR and explain its meaning. What is the issue at hand? Is it a positive portrayal of TR or a negative one and what is your evidence for your opinion? Finally, what does the cartoon reveal about TR's character? Make sure to paste the cartoon you investigate below your response!
Paper#3
Many people do not realize that Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), was a political cartoonist as America entered and fought World War II. His cartoons during this period address many issues, from the dangers of Nazism to racism here at home. (The cartoon below, for example, mocks isolationism and the 'America First' movement.)
Choose one cartoon from Dr. Seuss from the 1930's or 1940's and explain its larger historical context. Who or what is being addressed and what do you feel Dr. Seuss is "saying" about the subject through the medium of his art? Do you feel Dr. Seuss has a positive or a negative view toward the characters in the cartoon you select? Do you agree with Dr. Seuss' point of view in the cartoon you select?
Make sure to paste the cartoon you investigate below your response!

Paper#4
From November 1963 to January 1969, Lyndon B. Johnson served as president during some of the nation's most tumultuous years since the Civil War.
Assess his presidency. What were his accomplishments? What were his failures? Overall, did Johnson have a positive impact on America or a negative one and what is the historical evidence that supports your view? Make sure to bring in foreign and domestic issues and events to support your views.
Make sure to provide authoritative sources in APA format.
Paper#5
In a series of speeches in 1967, Dr. King first used the phrase "two Americas" to describe the link between racism and economic inequality. John Edwards, the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, popularized this phrase, using "two Americas" to refer to the increased so.

Edna St. Vincent Millay Discussion
As always, bonus points may be given for commenting thoughtfully on the posts of your classmates.
AUSTIN’S POSTS:
1. In “Spring,” Edna St. Vincent Millay examines the triviality of spring. Obviously dealing with a crisis of life’s meaninglessness, Millay seems resentful of spring’s surface-level mask of beauty. Millay realizes the pain life brings with it, and she says “beauty is not enough” (Millay). Deeply affected by the mundanity of life and the inevitability of death, Millay is no longer comforted by the temporary pleasantries spring brings with it. Millay writes “It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, / April / Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers” (Millay). Millay’s personification of the season and of her crippling depression allow the reader a glimpse into the mind of a troubled woman who is unimpressed by life and its possibilities.
2. In “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, and Where, and Why,” Edna St. Millay reflects on the lovers that have come and gone in her life. Millay implies that she has had many lovers throughout her life, and she is unable to remember a majority of them. She is now lonely, and writes “I only know that summer sang in me / A little while, that in me sings no more” (Millay). Having multiple partners and no spouse is historically frowned upon. Janie from Zora Neale Hurston’s
Their Eyes Were Watching God was harassed by other women just for moving on from her dead husband. When she returns to town after Tea Cake’s death, she is ridiculed for being in a relationship with a younger man. Millay seems unaffected by the opinion of others. Millay implies that she misses her short, sweet, physical relationships with men.
Dorothy Parker Discussion
As always, bonus points may be given to students who comment thoughtfully on the posts of their classmates.
AUSTIN’S POST:
2. In “A Certain Lady,” Dorothy Parker subverts male expectations of women and shows depth beneath the demure veil of compliance men see on the surface. Parker empowers women to manipulate men as they themselves have been manipulated historically. She details a woman’s ability to keep her emotions under control and to proceed through a relationship with calculated effici.
Chief Justice Roger B. Taney on the Declaration of IndependMargaritoWhitt221
Chief Justice Roger B. Taney on the Declaration of Independence
President Andrew Jackson appointed in 1836 Roger B. Taney to fill the seat left vacant by the
death of Chief Justice John Marshall. Taney earned his appointment by being a loyal “Jackson
man” and by his willingness, as acting Secretary of the Treasury, to remove the federal deposits
from the Bank of the United States (effectively putting it out of business). Critics of the
appointment predicted that the Supreme Court under Taney would destroy the legacy of the
Marshall Court and ultimately undermine the Republic. That turned out to be an exaggeration.
Taney Court rulings promoted the economic development of the U.S., although the Court
tended to favor state power more than its predecessor had. By the 1850s, the Court had
developed a good reputation within the American political class.
As it did so, however, the Taney Court also developed a decidedly proslavery jurisprudence. Its
efforts culminated in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), a decision almost universally considered to
be one of the worst, perhaps the worst, Supreme Court decision in American history. Taney’s
opinion wrecked the Court’s reputation and allowed Republican critics make a plausible case
that the Court had been captured by a proslavery conspiracy. In the passage here, Taney
recounted the history of African Americans, noting that in the colonial period blacks “had no
rights that white men were bound to respect.” As you read this passage, ask yourself whether
Taney believed anything had changed with the Declaration of Independence? How did the
Declaration and the Constitution impact the status of African Americans? Finally, think about
which of the other documents you have read support or contradict Taney’s arguments.

The purpose, design, approach to rag attention on gender structure theory that has a velocity of status characteristics of different gender advantages and disadvantages. I have observed over the years that the male peer rate is much higher than female managers where female associate/manager do not disfavor between genders in their performance evaluations. Also, I have worked under both male and female supervisors and leadership. I found my female manager very friendly, compassionate, efficient communicator, and better in negotiation with effective planner skills. I strongly agree that they build very effective and strong relationships with everyone including colleagues, coordinators, team, stakeholders, business owners. I believe they are good listeners throughout the negotiation process from initiating it to end it with a good note. They have the skills to resolve the opposite party’s concern with empathy. They consider all possible ways to find a mutual way for better perceptions only with calm and intelligence efficiency (Jerdee, 1973).
Male leaders are very quick and believed in reaching the points with lesser scenario assumptions. They tend to ge ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. Christensen and Haas Conclusions
“Political movies have debated the great issues of the
day as the nation debated them, sometimes ahead of
the public and sometimes lagging behind, sometimes
dissenting and sometimes reinforcing. Regardless of
the state of the union, however, some ideas about
politics are constantly reiterated by movies. If
audiences absorb these repeated messages, their
cumulative effect must surely be cynicism and
apathy.” (p. 278)
3. Structural Constraints
The use of stars to portray “heroes”
Audience preference for melodramas (conflict that
must be solved by heroes)
4. More from Christensen and Haas
Hollywood movies have “rightly condemned
intolerance and corruption.”
More negatively, they have “told us to rely on leaders
and heroes for salvation, ignored the alternative of
collective action, and neglected or condemned
opinions that stray from the mainstream.”
They have “disparaged politics in presenting it as evil
and corrupting.”
They “warn us to stay away from politics…”
p. 288
5. Films that Christensen and Haas Admire
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Reds
Matewan
Do the Right Thing
Natural Born Killers
Wag the Dog (viewed more favorably than the more
successful film, Dave)
