ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the numerous people that helped and supported me through this journey. First, I would like to thank my family. To my parents, Linda and George Naujokas, thank you for always being supportive of my education and quest for knowledge, buying me so many books as a child, stressing the importance of education, and for letting me watch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. To my brother, Derek, thank you for always being there when I need you. To my husband and best friend, Clayton, while I started this journey before we met, it is because of your support and your persistence every step of the way that I was able to finish. Thank you for believing in me. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Janis Fine, for her guidance, positive reinforcements, and support of my belief in the lessons of Fred Rogers. As the first person to have taught me the true meaning of servant leadership, I think you were the perfect advisor for a dissertation about Fred Rogers. Finally, I would like to thank the numerous people who helped my research that are carrying on the legacy of Fred Rogers. This includes Hedda Sharapan, David Newell, and the staff at the Fred Rogers Company and the Fred Rogers Archive. I feel grateful to have met and learned from you and hope that this dissertation can help spread the message of Fred Rogers. iii I would like to dedicate this work to my grandmother, Martha Naujokas. She always stressed the importance of education, and there is not a day that goes by that I do not miss her gentle spirit and unconditional love. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iii LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... ix ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ x CHAPTER I.

This concept has gained momentum in the midst of fake allegations during the Brexit vote and the 2016 American presidential election, so much so that The Oxford Dictionary elected it word of the year in 2016. Formerly referring to the lies at the core of political scandals1, the term “post-truth” now describes a situation where the objective facts have far less importance and impact than appeals to emotion and personal belief in order to influence public opinion2.

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Summary
    Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Summary • The MBTI is a reliable and valid instrument that measures and categorizes your personality and behavior. It is not a test. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers. • Around 1940 a mother-daughter team (Katharine C. Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers) developed this instrument to help people understand and use Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type preferences. • Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung, (1875 – 1961) theorized that you can predict differences in people’s behavior if you know how they prefer to use their mind. According to Jung, we each have an inborn preference for using our mind in one of two different ways, in four different categories: Orientation to World Take in Information Make Decisions Take in Info. or Decide Extraverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving Energized by others Using five senses Logical, problem solvers Taking in information or or or or Introverted Intuition Feeling Judging Energized by ideas, Using gut or instincts Consider others, Organizing information emotions, memories compassionate and making decisions • There are a total of 16 possible “types” based on unique combinations of the preferences. • Four letters are used to represent a type, for example a person with preferences for Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging is called an ESTJ. • Each type has strengths and weaknesses. No type is better than another. • People can use this assessment tool to validate their preferences on each of the four dichotomies and understand the sixteen different personality

  • Survey: Both Democrats and GOP Love 'This Is Us,' 'Game of Thrones'
    Survey: Both Democrats and GOP love 'This Is Us,' 'Game of Thrones' BY JUDY KURTZ - 03/03/20 © Courtesy of HBO The country may be more politically polarized than ever, but there are at least a couple things that both Democrats and Republicans agree on: They dig "This is Us" and "Game of Thrones." The NBC drama and former HBO fantasy series were some of the top picks on both sides of the aisle, according to a recent survey from E-Poll Market Research. Fifty-five percent of Democrats counted "This is Us" as their fave broadcast TV show, along with 68 percent of Republicans. Fifty-two percent of Democrats and 47 percent of Republicans surveyed also listed "Chicago Med" as one of their top TV picks. Other popular choices among Democrats included "Supernatural," Fox's "9-1-1" and "The Rookie," while Republicans said they delighted in "Grey's Anatomy," "Last Man Standing" and Chicago PD." The two parties had more than half of the top 20 TV shows in common, but there were a few notable differences among their boob tube choices. The results show that, of the Americans surveyed, Democrats prefer getting more laughs from their small screen fare, picking seven sitcoms as their favorites, compared to the GOP respondents' three comedy shows. A separate survey of top streaming and cable shows found that Democrats preferred Starz's "Power," with 63 percent of those surveyed naming it as their favored show, and "Game of Thrones," with 51 percent. Sixty-seven percent of Republicans named "Game of Thrones" — which ended its eight-season run last year — as their No.

  • Maternal Activism
    1 Biography as Philosophy The Power of Personal Example for Transformative Theory As I have written this book, my kids have always been present in some way. Sometimes, they are literally present because they are beside me playing, asking questions, wanting my attention. Other times, they are present in the background of my consciousness because I’m thinking about the world they live in and the kind of world I want them to live in. Our life together is probably familiar to many U.S. middle-class women: I work full-time, the kids go to school full time, and our evenings and weekends are filled with a range of activities with which we are each involved. We stay busy with our individual activities, but we also come together for dinner most nights, we go on family outings, and we enjoy our time together. As much time as I do spend with my kids, I constantly feel guilty for not doing enough with them since I also spend significant time preparing for classes, grading, researching, and writing while I’m with them. Along with many other women, I feel the pressure of trying and failing to balance mothering and a career. Although I feel as though I could be a better mother and a bet- ter academic, I also have to concede that I lead a privileged life as a woman and mother. Mothers around the world would love to have the luxury of providing for their children’s physical and mental well-being. In the Ivory Coast and Ghana, children are used as slave labor to harvest cocoa beans for chocolate (Bitter Truth; “FLA Highlights”; Hawksley; The Food Empowerment Project).

  • Art – Reflexiones Acerca De La Gestión De La Calidad En
    Alfonso SÁNCHEZ-TABERNERO Reflexiones sobre la gestión de la calidad en empresas de comunicación Al acabar la segunda guerra mundial, Japón había sufrido tal vez la mayor humillación de su historia; su rendición y posterior sometimiento a los aliados implicó la pérdida del liderazgo militar. Como recordaban los viejos samurais, la valentía, la lealtad y el honor eran las virtudes más admiradas en el imperio del sol naciente. La derrota milit ar podía hacer dudar de la valentía y de la lealtad de los japoneses, y sobre todo constituía una dolorosa afrenta a su honor. A partir de 1945, Japón comprendió que, cerradas las puertas a su expansión en Asia, su liderazgo debería concentrarse en el ámbi to comercial. Su cultura, con una fuerte influencia de la filosofía de Confucio, era particularmente apropiada para ese propósito. El confucianismo defiende la necesidad de guardar lealtad al Estado y al emperador, y de respetar a los mayores y las tradici ones familiares; destaca la importancia de la educación [1] , del sentido de la disciplina y de la planificación; y critica el individualismo. Estos principios configuraban un sustrajo social y cultural que encajaba correctamente en el tejido económico de los mercados más desarrollados: las empresas vivían procesos de cambio, de mayor internacionalización y de creciente complejidad. En esos años de posguerra, Estados Unidos disponía de muchas ventajas para consolidar su hegemonía económica: su liderazgo militar era incuestionable, así como su estabilidad política; poseía el mayor mercado interno; las principales multinac ionales del mundo eran de capital americano; el sistema político, económico y cultural sentaba las bases del "sueño americano": igualdad de oportunidades, apoyo a los emprendedores, y promoción del prestigio social de los que se arriesgan, trabajan y triunfan.

  • Translating Expertise Across Work Contexts: U.S. Puppeteers Move
    ASRXXX10.1177/0003122420987199American Sociological ReviewAnteby and Holm 987199research-article2021 American Sociological Review 2021, Vol. 86(2) 310 –340 Translating Expertise across © American Sociological Association 2021 https://doi.org/10.1177/0003122420987199DOI: 10.1177/0003122420987199 Work Contexts: U.S. Puppeteers journals.sagepub.com/home/asr Move from Stage to Screen Michel Antebya and Audrey L. Holma Abstract Expertise is a key currency in today’s knowledge economy. Yet as experts increasingly move across work contexts, how expertise translates across contexts is less well understood. Here, we examine how a shift in context—which reorders the relative attention experts pay to distinct types of audiences—redefines what it means to be an expert. Our study’s setting is an established expertise in the creative industry: puppet manipulation. Through an examination of U.S. puppeteers’ move from stage to screen (i.e., film and television), we show that, although the two settings call on mostly similar techniques, puppeteers on stage ground their claims to expertise in a dialogue with spectators and view expertise as achieving believability; by contrast, puppeteers on screen invoke the need to deliver on cue when dealing with producers, directors, and co-workers and view expertise as achieving task mastery. When moving between stage and screen, puppeteers therefore prioritize the needs of certain audiences over others’ and gradually reshape their own views of expertise. Our findings embed the nature of expertise in experts’ ordering of types of audiences to attend to and provide insights for explaining how expertise can shift and become co-opted by workplaces. Keywords expertise, audiences, puppetry, film and television Expertise has become a fundamental currency of cases (Abbott 1988:8).

  • The Early History of Howdy Doody…Television's First
    1 | P a g e The Early History Of Howdy Doody…Television’s First Hit For those not old enough to remember, “The Howdy Doody Show” was much more than just Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody….it was the beginning of television as a brand new form of entertainment. It was radio with pictures and it was revolutionary. With a TV set and an antenna, suddenly the world could come to your living room. Although primitive by today’s standards, it was the hottest ticket on the planet, and Howdy Doody was the first hit show on television! Television’s second hit was also from NBC, and debuted 6 months after Howdy…it was “The Texaco Star Theater” with Milton Berle. They called Milton “Mr. Television,” because a lot of adults bought a set to see him. With a nation full of kids wanting to see Howdy though, you can rest assured; a lot of sets were bought to keep the children happy too. As is often the case with history, in its retelling, the waters get muddied and important facts become mangled. Before long, it’s hard to know if you are reading the truth or not. With that in mind, I have decided to retell the story of how it all started to the best of our ability, AND…I’m doing it with the help of one of America’s foremost authorities on Howdy Doody, Burt Dubrow. – Bobby Ellerbee / Eyes Of A Generation.com (Revised Dec. 28, 2016) http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 This is a 1952 photo of Buffalo Bob Smith with Howdy, and on the right, Bob Keeshan taking off his Clarabell makeup.
