  • The Challenge of the Nanle <I>America</I>
    ·The Challenge of the N anle ·America ZOLTAN J. FARKAS bE NAME AMERICA was a challenge for historians and linguists maybe from the moment of its birth, in Europe as well as here in America. It is well known that our continent was named after Amerigo Vespucci. It is also known that the historians still question the importance of Vespucci's role in America's discovery or even exploration . .Martin Waldseemiiller (1470 or 1475-1512), however, is credited \vith being the godfather of America. He was a German clergyman and professor of geography at the University of Strassburg. He \vrote his "Cosmographiae Introductio" in Latin and published it in 1507. The only existing copy of it is located today in the Uni- versity Library in Strassburg. Dedicated to the "Divine Maximilian, Caesar Augustus," it contains nine chapters of geography and maps. On page 18 he says that the world's fourth part is "America" (= South America). On page 25 he is more specific: "The fourth part of the world, since Americus discovered it, "Amerigen" (Greek: -gen = land) Le., Americus' land as well America could be called." He explains on page 30 his suggestion: "The fourth part of the \vorld was discovered by Americus Vespucius - as it will be learned in the following letters - therefore I do not see for what reason should be objected, that this land after Americus - the discoverer and a man of sagacious mind - Americus' Land or America should be called, since Europa and Asia are also named in feminine form." The United States Oatholic Historical Society Monograph,! which consists of four parts, contains Waldseemiiller's Oosmographiae Introductio in facsimile of the 1507 edition and its English trans- lation by Edward Gaylord Bourne.

  • Hedges Library Propaganda “Propaganda Is Any Systematic Attempt to Influence Opinion on a Wide Scale Primarily by Symbolic Means
    Owens 1 Hedges Library Propaganda “Propaganda is any systematic attempt to influence opinion on a wide scale primarily by symbolic means. It is a form of communication that seeks to promote or discourage attitudes as a means of advancing or injuring an organization, an individual, or a cause. Propaganda proceeds by deliberate plan for calculated effects. It usually addresses a mass audience through mass media, or special audiences and media that provide access to mass opinion. The manipulation of symbols—words and pictures and other signs and images—is the essence of propaganda. The word "propaganda" entered modern usage early in the 17th century when the Roman Catholic Church established the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. Although the overwhelming bulk of contemporary propaganda is now secular, it is still most readily understood in terms of the promotion of faith.” Giddens, Jackson A. "Propaganda."

It aims to change women’s position in society. “It is an assertion of a woman’s social and political rights for equality: negation of stereotypic sex roles, gender bias, job discriminations, compulsory heterosexuality, imposition of wifehood and motherhood, oppression and sexism. It recognizes woman’s power of independent decision making, her competence, intelligence and her status as an equal, as an individual, as a human being, as a person capable of contributing to social and national progress and development”. (Gupta, 1996) According to The Encyclopedia Americana, feminism “encompasses the conditions of women’s entitlement to live their fullest human potential, as human beings in equality.
