ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The following study is a creation of many - my advisors, instructors, co­ workers, mentors, and friends. I am a conduit for their knowledge and training. I wish to acknowledge their guidance, leadership, and example in my life and work. I especially want to thank my doctoral committee, which included Dr. Dewey Adams, Dr. Aaron J. Miller, and Dr. Joseph Davis. My advisor, Dr. Adams, was especially supportive, and without him I would not have finished this task. Dr. Byrl Shoemaker has been a role model for me throughout most of my career, and continues to be today. He is a leader in the nation for vocational education, and I thank him for his friendship. Dr. Darrell Parks encouraged me to pursue this degree, and supported me during the process. My first supervisor in vocational education was Sig Guckenheimer, who gave me a sound vocational foundation which has served me well for many years. My first teacher educators, James Provost, Russell Riley, and Bernard Densmore, taught me the tools of the trade, including how to enjoy it. I have great respect for the teachers in Trade and Industrial programs in Ohio. They have hard-won skills which they are eager to share with tomorrow's tradesmen and women. Their skills are shown in the results of this study. Also, the help which Ohio's businesses and industries are giving to schools is right now improving our programs, our graduates, and Ohio's future. I have followed Ohio's vocational students around the state, to national competitions many years, and to the Netherlands, to see them compete against other nations. They are a wonderful example of what our youth can and should be. I salute them. They deserve the best education we can provide. To my wife, who has always supported me, and first encouraged me to pursue this goal, I am eternally grateful.

The Nazis reaped a large harvest of “activists who had the skills necessary to spread the party’s message and increase recruitment.” They also used many of the civic associations, occupational organizations, and other social groups as a “fifth column.” By the early 1930s, she says, the Nazis “had infiltrated and captured a wide range of national and local associations.” The 5.6-million- member Reichslandbund and other farm organizations, for instance, became efficient propaganda channels for reaching the rural population.

After the end of World War II, the United States began its complicated and complex involvement in Vietnam. Following the conclusion of an intense independence struggle against the French in 1954, Vietnam was divided into a Northern communist state and a Southern democratic state. With the Cold War in full swing, the Eisenhower and Kennedy Administrations justified US support to South Vietnam through a strategy of “containment” to prevent against the spread of communism elsewhere in Asia. 1 Kennedy hoping to avoid entering the US into a direct combat role in Vietnam, ensured that the role of the US military advisors in Vietnam remained limited.

  • The Legacy of [Liberty]: Rhetoric, Ideology, and Aesthetics in the Postmodern Condition
    Canadian Journal ofPolitical andSocial Theory/Revue canadienne de Woriepolitique et sociale, Volume X111, no. 3 1989 THE LEGACY OF [LIBERTY]: RHETORIC, IDEOLOGY, AND AESTHETICS IN THE POSTMODERN CONDITION John Louis Lucaites Maurice Charland The spectacle is ideology par excellence, because it exposes and manifests in its fullness the essence of all ideological systems: the impoverishment, servitude, and negation of real life. - Guy Debord Society of the Spectacle' The argument has recently been made that we live in an era in which signs have increasingly less to do with life. This, it is claimed, is either a consequence ofour modernity, or an index of our postmodernity. In either case, the assumption is that the rationalist assault on tradition and the tech- nological capacity to produce images favor a system of sign production in which the epistemology of representation becomes an increasingly un- necessary alibi for the value of the sign. Such is the conclusion one might draw from Jean Baudrillard's Pour une critique de leconomie politique du signe.z Baudrillard's diagnosis asserts the dark side of Walter Benja- min's prognosis made forty years earlier in "The Work of Art In The Age of Mechanical Reproduction," according to which the development of the reproducible and hence autonomous sign is treated, not as the dialectic of enlightenment, but as one of two historical alternatives : the emergence of a proletariat freed from the weight of dead generations through the politicization of art, or conversely, the massification of the social as spec- JOHN LOUIS LUCAITESIMAURICE CHARLAND tators who are participants in their own subjugation and destruction.

  • Fulbright Student Program External Relations
    NEWS RELEASE FULBRIGHT STUDENT PROGRAM EXTERNAL RELATIONS FULBRIGHT STUDENT PROGRAM Fact Sheet "Go abroad and study it, and see it, taste it, touch it, feel it, be part of it..." – Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Presidential Medal of Honor recipient and Fulbright alumnus THE FULBRIGHT IDEAL “The vital mortar to seal the bricks of world order is education across international boundaries, not with the expectation that knowledge would make us love each other, but in the hope that it would encourage empathy between nations and foster the emergence of leaders whose sense of other nations and cultures would enable them to shape specific policies based on tolerance and rational restraint.” – Senator J. William Fulbright • The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 through an act of Congress, spearheaded by Senator J. William Fulbright, in order to demonstrate U.S. commitment to democratic values worldwide. • The Fulbright Program aims to increase mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchange; strengthen the ties which unite the U.S. with other nations; promote international cooperation; and “to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world.” FULBRIGHT BY THE NUMBERS “It is a modest program with an immodest aim - the achievement in international affairs of a regime more civilized, rational and humane than the empty system of power of the past.” – Senator J. William Fulbright • In the past 56 years, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 250,000 students, scholars and professionals worldwide with the opportunity to observe each others’ political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas and embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world’s inhabitants.
