Robert L. Brown Elementary Specialist State Fair Community College Career Education Project iii CAREER EDUCATION--THE STEP BEYOND A basic purpose of American education is the preparation of peoplefor living and, within that context, preparationof people for a career. Career Education is the development ofattitudes and appreciations toward workers and the benefits each worker receives and gives as a coltributing memberof society. Career Education can be the focalpoint for developing an educa- tional awareness of the use of skills and knowledge taught in the schoolsand used by adults in the workingworld. Career Education can be the center of the curriculum which joins school,family and community intoa joint effort of educating the young. Career Education is concerned withthe total develop- ment of a student. This means providing experiences forstudents to concep- tualize the career development concepts which should be introduced topre- schoolers and developed throughhigh school. Career development, which isa lifelong process, begins at a very early age when the child role plays variousoccupations in his play. He begins very early to establish his view of work anda view of himself as a worker. Career development proceeds muchthe same way as emotional, social, intel- lectual and physical developmentprogress. Before one is ready for the next level, certain concepts must beconceptualized. The child goes through the following stages. The AWARENESS STAGE, whichcovers the preschool period through grade six, is a period when the child not only becomesaware of him- self and other people physically, emotionally and socially, but he alsogains intellectual skills and knowledge. While in this stage, the childbecomes interested in what adults do. He is interested in knowing how hegets the goods and services which he enjoys. He also enjoys "puttingon occupational roles" by role playing themany occupations with which he has become acquainted. The EXPLORATION STAGE, which usually covers the middle or junior highschool age level, is a time forsome actual exploring of a variety of occupations. It is a time of self-assessment and of consideration of, the varioustypes of careers available to the individual. The student should, by this time, be able to identify who he is andthat his interests and abilitiesare to make decisions and be prepared to adjustand change those decisions, to formulate some preferences for particular occupationsand to identify various life styles he may wish to pursue. A tentative decision may be made by gradenine in order to begin the PREPARATION STAGE. This stage will last as longas necessary for the acquisition of skills and knowledgeneeded to enter and pro- gress through one's occupational career. Career Education, then, is the educationof the child of today ina manner which will make his life useful andproductive in the world he will live in tomorrow. It is preparing the future adultto develop the philosophy that work has value and meaningto the individual and to society. It pro- vides an exposure toa wide

From the 1897 showing of three short films at the Coates Opera House1 to the megaplex theaters that dot the metropolis today, Kansas Citians have embraced the movies. The city and its history have been portrayed in films like Kansas Citian native Robert Altman’s Kansas City (1996) and Ang Lee’s Civil War historical drama, Ride With The Devil (1999). Today, filmmakers to come to the nation’s heartland to screen their movies to audiences before they open across the nation, while the Kansas City Film Commission strives to bring new business to the region by encouraging filmmakers to take advantage of local locations and talent by shooting their films here in the first place.2 Movies are glamour, hard work, compelling stories, and big business. And throughout the years, Kansas City has had its fair share of all of these. MOTION PICTURES – POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT AND CITY PROMOTION At the turn of the 19th century, live performances and vaudeville were big draws in theatres across the nation. That began to change with the advent of the motion picture. When the Coates Opera House showed “The Black Diamond Express,” and two other short films by the Lumieres Cinematography Co.

I am especially grateful for her thoughtful insight and tireless dedication to my research and writing about films, most especially her guidance with this project on the women in Robert Altman’s films. I would have never completed this project without her unwavering commitment to my research and writing. I would also like to thank my committee members Dr. Genevieve West and Dr. Brian Fehler for providing invaluable comments and feedback on my work. I am especially grateful for the tough questions they asked because those questions made me dig deeper and think harder when I made revisions. Their comments and questions have also led me toward ideas for future research and writing, and that is a priceless contribution indeed. Finally, there are two additional professors I would like to thank for their contributions to my research, writing, and academic growth.
