The document discusses the meanings and origins of character names from the movie "Stranger than Fiction" and connects them to real people with similar names. It suggests that Harold Crick was named after the scientist Francis Crick to reference courage and skill with numbers. Ana Pascal's name connects her to the mathematician Blaise Pascal through their fathers teaching them skills. Jules Hilbert is likened to David Hilbert for developing theories, matching the character. Karen Eiffel designed the ending of her book to save a life, relating to Gustave Eiffel's design of the tower.
The document defines and provides examples of various political concepts and "isms". Nationalism refers to pride in one's country while internationalism is cooperation between countries. Humanitarianism is extending kindness to others without prejudice. Multilateralism is when countries work together to resolve issues.
Forms of representation include direct democracy, parliamentary systems, and republican democracies. These forms involve citizens participating through voting and elected representatives making decisions. Authoritarian systems concentrate power in single individuals, small groups, or the military rather than citizens. They include monarchies, oligarchies, one-party states, and military dictatorships where ultimate control resides with a single leader or elite rather than the people. While representation acts in citizens' interests, authoritarianism acts in the rulers' interests.
The document provides backstories and meanings for character names that could be used in various genres of fiction stories. It explains the meanings and origins of names like Harold, Ana, Jules, Karen, and Penny, often connecting them to real people like scientists or architects.

The benefits highlighted include easier submission and grading of assignments, improved research capabilities, and more flexible project options for teachers and students. Potential challenges mentioned are increased distraction, inconsistencies between devices, and difficulties for some students lacking technology skills. Solutions proposed include rules on appropriate use, standardizing software, and offering technology tutoring.
The document describes 10 different genres of stories and provides details about the protagonists and antagonists in sample stories for each genre. For each genre, it gives the first and last names of both the protagonist and antagonist, along with the meaning of their names.
Nationalism emerged in the 19th century and led to the unification of small kingdoms into larger nation-states in Europe. A nation is an "imagined community" that is imagined by people who see themselves as part of that group based on shared beliefs, history, territory, political ideas, and cultural identity. Nations seek the right to self-determination and govern themselves, though drawing state boundaries to satisfy every cultural group's demand for self-rule led to problems. The solution is to make existing states more democratic and ensure equality for all cultural and ethnic groups within a country's boundaries.
Interpersonal communication occurs between people and exists on a continuum from impersonal to personal. It involves developing identities and relationships through shared experiences, building trust, and exchanging ideas. The development of human culture relies on our ability to share experiences, build trust, exchange ideas, and transmit knowledge through various communication methods that have evolved over time, from early cave paintings and smoke signals to modern technologies like smartphones and social media. Effective interpersonal communication allows us to coordinate efforts, have impact on issues, and work out problems together.

Media can also influence beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors and democratic processes.
This document discusses various aspects of propaganda including definitions, origins, types, techniques and theories. It begins by defining propaganda as information spread intentionally to help or harm a person, group or nation. It originates from the Catholic Church in the 1600s. The three main types are black, white and grey propaganda depending on the truthfulness of the information.

This document discusses several topics related to global governance and globalization. It examines the concept of globalization and how it can be used for good or perpetuate standards that do not promote progress. It also looks at various international organizations like the IMF, WTO, and United Nations, and how they both enable smaller powers and present challenges. Additionally, it analyzes processes of institutional isomorphism in nation-states driven by world society, and how institutionalized organizations take on myth and ceremony rather than coordinating activities rationally. Overall, the document presents a nuanced perspective on globalization and global governance, discussing both benefits and potential issues.
Global citizenship refers to a person's identity and responsibilities from a global perspective and is used in various fields like education, philosophy, and human rights. It emphasizes that all people should be treated equally and fairly regardless of nationality or location. While global citizenship has no legal definition, it suggests that people have ethical obligations to help others worldwide and address issues like poverty, disease, and lack of education that affect people in different countries. Critics argue that it is difficult to define and implement global citizenship in practice given differences between countries and cultures.
Neoconservatism emerged in the 1960s-70s as former liberals became more conservative, particularly on foreign policy where they favored direct confrontation with the Soviet Union over détente. Neoconservatives critique modern society and advocate interventionist foreign policy to spread democracy. Notable neoconservative individuals, organizations, media outlets, and foundations have advocated for these views and influenced US foreign policy. Some debate whether Tony Blair's views align with neoconservatism. Ideological positions can vary and overlap in complex ways.
Take charge of the political narrative by knowing your values and framing the debate. Presentation discusses George Lakoff's framing principles discussed in the book"Don't Think of an Elephant!"
This document discusses the history and definitions of racism. It examines how racism was established through events like the Age of Discovery, sanctioned by the Catholic Church through Papal Bulls. This led to the Doctrine of Discovery and laws that justified invading and enslaving indigenous peoples. The impact of these laws and historical trauma can still be seen today in indigenous communities through health, education and employment deficits. The document analyzes how racism operates in societies through conflict theory, structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism. It provides examples of racism in New Zealand and discusses underlying themes like dehumanization and the denial of humanity.

Mutual tolerance of multiculturalism is important to prevent misconceptions between cultural groups and exacerbating tensions. While some countries like Canada, Australia and Malaysia officially promote multiculturalism, Germany has found that attempts to build a multicultural society have failed. Overcoming challenges like ethnocentrism, dominant ideologies and cultural arrogance can help societies achieve multiculturalism and its benefits, like economic gains from international trade and greater global understanding. Education is key to developing multicultural awareness and appreciation of differences.
Community media is media that is operated by, for, and about a community. It aims to give community members a voice and promote participation, ownership, and accountability. In Maldives, community media could empower communities by addressing local issues, disseminating important information like during natural disasters, and supporting livelihoods like fishing. It works as a tool for development by facilitating co-learning, sharing best practices, and guiding community empowerment through skills development and promoting local talent.

1) Milton Friedman supported classical liberalism and allowing individuals to freely rise and fall in the economy based on their abilities without intervention.
2) During the 1920s, the U.S. economy boomed as banks lent money to people who could not afford it, fueling overconsumption.
3) When the stock market crashed, banks collapsed as loans went unpaid, plunging the U.S. and world into the Great Depression due to a lack of regulations on competition and lending.

The document discusses the idea of individual strength versus strength through conformity. It describes how Hitler used conformity to gain support for Nazism in Germany, leading to devastating consequences. It also discusses Tim O'Brien's struggle to conform by fighting in the Vietnam War despite wanting to pursue his own life goals. While conformity can make large groups powerful, the truly strong individuals are those who pursue their own desires rather than blindly conforming to what others expect. It takes greater courage to stand alone than to simply go along with the group through conformity.
Achievable Idealisms According to John Steinbecklithlithe
The document discusses achievable idealisms in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It introduces two main characters - Rose of Sharon who dreams of the perfect home but depends on her husband, and former preacher Jim Casy who wants to unite migrant workers to improve their lives. While Rose's static ideals are unrealistic, Casy takes action like organizing protests, making his goal more achievable before his death. The document analyzes how Steinbeck presents Casy's ideals through action as more reasonable than Rose's inactive dreams.
Elliot Erwitt captured a photograph of an ideal romantic couple reflected in the mirror of a vehicle. While the couple appears genuinely happy, capturing such idealized moments is nearly impossible due to their spontaneous nature. By photographing the reflection rather than the actual scene, Erwitt only shows the idealized version of the romantic couple, rather than revealing any true feelings or context. When looking at reflections, people hope to see their ideal selves, just as Erwitt portrayed an idealized romantic moment. However, ideals often depict an unattainable perfection that does not reflect real life, where perfection is rare and there are no idealized scenes.
This document summarizes the beliefs and principles of various radical thinkers throughout history, including Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Smith, Mill, Ricardo, Dickens, Owen, Marx, and Burke. It examines how each thinker challenged the status quo and promoted individual rights and economic freedom. The document also includes the author's personal assessment of which thinkers' ideas they agree with the most, particularly praising Ricardo's views on specialization and free trade between countries.
The document summarizes three characters from a story: Bernard, Helmholtz, and Lenina. Bernard is smaller than others in his social class but wants social change. Helmholtz is physically perfect and contemplates how to better use his skills of persuasion. Lenina carefully maintains her appearance to seem like the ideal citizen, though her eyes hint at potential rebellion she keeps in check through soma use.

Eliezer's survival of the Holocaust was influenced by both chance and the choices he made. When first arriving at Birkenau, Eliezer chose to give a fake age on the advice of a prisoner, allowing him to avoid being sent to the furnace. Later, chance played a role in keeping Eliezer with his father in the same camps and blocks. Ultimately, American troops liberating Buchenwald in 1945 was the biggest chance that saved Eliezer's life. Both chance occurrences and the choices Eliezer made allowed him to survive experiences that took the lives of many others.
The United Nations was created in 1945 by 51 countries with the main goals of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, and promoting social progress. It now has 192 member states and works on issues like human rights, counter-terrorism, and international health.

The document discusses how rising German nationalism following World War 1 and the 1929 Wall Street Crash contributed to the rise of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. It notes several key events: (1) Hitler received 30% of the presidential vote in 1932, showing high nationalist support; (2) the Night of Broken Glass in 1938 saw Germans attack their Jewish neighbors, indicating willingness to enact Hitler's radical nationalism; (3) Hitler's remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 showed his confidence in nationalistic public support. Rising German nationalism following World War 1 and economic troubles strengthened radical nationalist groups like the Nazis and enabled Hitler's rise to power.
Adolf Hitler had a difficult childhood and young adulthood that may have influenced his extreme views later in life. His mother died of cancer treated by a Jewish doctor, and he had a strained relationship with his authoritarian father. As a young man, he failed to get into art school and lived in poverty in Vienna. During World War I, he was temporarily blinded by a gas attack. After the war, he became impressed by Anton Drexler's nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas and joined the German Workers' Party, which he later renamed the Nazi Party. He rose to power by exploiting Germans' economic struggles following World War I and blaming Jews and socialists.
While Descartes argued that "I think, therefore I am" proves only the existence of the mind, the author argues that "I feel, therefore I am" better demonstrates the existence of both mind and body. We experience a variety of sensations and emotions, from comfort to pain, that indicate we are truly alive beings capable of independent thought and action. In contrast, characters in virtual worlds or games may display programmed expressions of emotion but do not genuinely feel or experience sensations in the way that humans do.
