Some Comments on Obscenities, Health and Safety, and Workplace Values ROBERT J. RABIN* I see a common and very fundamental issue in both articles. It has to do with how we view the workplace. Do we see it through the eyes of the worker on the shop floor (or teacher in the classroom, or violist in the symphony orchestra), or from the perspective of those who manage the enterprise? Are we con- cerned with how it feels to be a worker, who must cope with stress and deal with uncertainty, or do we think more about the ability of the enterprise to compete and the investor to secure a profita- ble return? Let me begin with the Atleson piece, and offer some observa- tions from my own experience.

This paper will study the problem of identity in the novel of the American horror writer Stephen King’s The Shining. I am going to analyse this novel paying special attention to that topic, and in order to do so I will use an important tool which is the conceptual apparatus of psychoanalysis. I will use Žižek’s How to Read Lacan and The Plague of Fantasies because these two works will be useful to understand certain concepts of psychoanalysis and to apply them to the analysis of the novel. I will argue that the novel can be analyzed through psychoanalysis in order to be understood in depth. My aim is to see how using a conceptual apparatus changes the way I read the novel.

  • Shipbuilding Industry
    Spring 2014 Final Report Shipbuilding Industry The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the National Defense University, the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government 1 ABSTRACT The shipbuilding industry in the United States is uncompetitive globally and clings to life based on a law from 1920 and the government paying a premium for state of the art military vessels. Asian shipyards dominate the commercial market with United States facilities accounting for less than one percent of the world’s order book. Although the likelihood of another World War II type effort to mobilize the industrial capacity of the country to churn out thousands of ships is remote, it is in the strategic interests of the United States to enact policies to strengthen domestic shipbuilding capability and ensure a technological advantage is maintained in military shipbuilding. China, South Korea and Japan became world leaders in shipbuilding based on strategic decisions to execute a national strategy to have the industry become a pillar of their economic prosperity. The absence of a United States National Maritime Strategy has resulted in a gradual decline in commercial shipbuilding that is woefully uncompetitive on the international market. A robust effort to prioritize the shipping industry in the United States has potential for positive ripple effects that would benefit the country for generations. Most importantly, increased activity would make the purchase of government vessels more affordable, ensuring the country is able to field the maritime capability required to execute national objectives.
