  • Jimmy Carter: a Moral Hero (Student Essay)
    Jimmy Carter: A Moral Hero (Student Essay) Danny Haidar (Utica Academy for International Studies) Abstract. Following the end of Jimmy Carter’s first and only term as President of the United States, historians scrambled to put his presidency in the proper context. More than thirty years later, Carter has become associated with failed presidencies. To be compared to him is to be insulted. Even so, Jimmy Carter has had one of the most prolific, philanthropic post-presidential lives of any former American president. This is inconsistent with the image of his single term in office that the media has painted—a good man should have been a good president. To better understand this irony, this investigation shall seek to answer the following question: how did Jimmy Carter’s pre-presidential experiences affect his leadership as President of the United States of America (1977-1981)? This article will draw on apolitical, supportive and critical accounts of Carter’s presidency, as well as Carter’s own accounts of his beliefs and childhood experiences. While historians interpret Carter’s life events differently, each interpretation reveals important influences on Carter’s leadership in the White House. I will argue that Carter held too tightly to his morals to be suited to presidency. Carter’s childhood and pre-presidential political experiences created a man who was, indeed, unfit for the White House. The problem was less with his political vision than it was with his execution of that vision. Carter’s tragic presidential tale serves as a reminder that moral malleability is a necessity in the highest office of a government.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

Stephen King: the ultimate guide to horror and the macabre!By Kendall GilesSome of us love stories that leave us listening fearfully for shuffling footsteps in the dark, or movies that make us spray our popcorn about the room when the bogeyman leaps from the shadows, on reflection, we may wonder just what it is about scary stories that causes such fearful reactions. Those who scoff at the horror genre, who flinch at any mention of anything bad happening in a story and whose entertainment choices revolve around TV shows like American Idol, may wonder what all the excitement over the horror genre is about. The balm for both these groups is Stephen King's Danse Macabre, an homage, exploration, and critical analysis of the horror genre during the period 1950-1980, a period that experienced the cultivation and development of the scary story form through radio, TV, movie, and book formats.Lest the very idea of a thirty-year overview of the horror genre conjure up fears of a stale, academic, and tedious exposition, rest assured that this tour through the spooky and macabre is conducted by the perfect guide-King is an award-winning author of more than 49 horror novels and short stories with many movie and TV adaptations.

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

Not everyone is into Stephen King novels and slasher flicks. Not everyone appreciates a ghost story or monster movie. But a surprisingly large number of people do. So, what is the appeal of horror? Why do we like being scared? Doesn’t that seem… self-contradictory? Our study of the philosophy of horror will begin with a tour through the history of ‘art-horror’—the macabre and uncanny in literature, theatre, and film—to set the groundwork for philosophical inquiry in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Along the way, we’ll take in a bunch of horror stories, if only to keep us on the edge of our seats. Not recommended for students with heart conditions.

  • Jimmy Carter and Women's Rights from the White House to Islamic
    Women's Studies International Forum 73 (2019) 35–41 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Women's Studies International Forum journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/wsif Jimmy Carter and women's rights: From the White House to Islamic T feminism Doreen J. Mattingly Department of Women's Studies, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 928182-6030, United States of America ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Since 2009, former US President Jimmy Carter has been outspoken in his condemnation of abuses of women Jimmy Carter around the world. This appears to be a departure from his stance while in the White House (1977–1981), when Islamic feminism many feminist groups criticized him for his lack of effort on women's issues. This paper analyzes the historical US second-wave feminism record and Carter's own writing to compare his work since 2009 with his position on women's issues during his Religious right presidency. I argue that although women's issues have become a higher priority for Carter, his approach still has much in common with attitudes that that angered feminists in the 1970s, including an emphasis on the morality of male leaders – rather than the actions of feminist women – as the means to improve women's lives. What has changed since the 1970s, however, are his views on religious leaders. While in the White House he courted the support of evangelicals, despite their opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment and other feminist policies; in the intervening years he has come to view conservative religious leaders as barriers to women's rights.

  • Populism Across the Atlantic: the Popular Retort to Globalism and Modernization
    Populism Across the Atlantic: The Popular Retort to Globalism and Modernization in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany? Timothy K. DesJarlais University of Arizona POPULISM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC 2 Abstract This paper explores the similarities and differences between the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, the United Kingdom’s decision to withdraw from the European Union, and the rise of the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), a populist political party in Germany. Happening over a period of just a few years, these events mark a high point in an increasing populistic trend that is changing the political landscape on both sides of the Atlantic. Trump’s election marks a major turning point in the United States as he wins an election after having specifically campaigned against free trade, establishment politicians, and immigration. In the United Kingdom, the movement to leave the European Union was motivated by similar concerns about immigration and jobs. And in Germany, the recent rise of the AfD and their viability as a serious contender in the upcoming elections show a trend towards populism in a country that was long considered immune to populist tendencies. This paper intends to take a deeper look at these different populist movements, examining their histories, successes, failures, and the demographics of their supporters. While populism is not new to the United States or Europe, does the fact that these movements have similar aims suggest their rise may be part of a popular retort to globalism and modernization? To answer this question, this paper will additionally look at the general effects of globalism and modernization, specifically in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany.
