    3 March 1924 Tevhid Tedrisat Law and Requirements

    3 MARCH 1924 TEVHID TEDRISAT LAW AND REQUIREMENTS Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özkan Akman Gaziantep University Prof. Dr. Ali Meydan Nevşehir Hacı Bektaşi Veli University Introduction Education and training activities in the Islamic society began with Muhammad’s prophethood, shaped, variegated and has continued until today. God, the Prophet. Muhammad download it in the first verse “read the name of the Lord the Creator! God Man ‘was created out of relevance. Read! Your Lord is the most generous. Allah is taught to write with a pen, do not know who has taught the people (Yazır, 2015; 95:6). “has reported that the Prophet himself in the eyes of God reveals that knowledge of the source and has commanded all believers to read. When the Islamic State began to expand and the Muslim community began to crowded, the education began to spread out of the mosques (Atay, 1983). Due to the increase in the Muslim population, the main purpose of the mosques was to prevent the worship to be done comfortably by the crowded student groups, the emergence of new branches of science (Kırpık, 2012) and the payment of wages to the teachers (Zengin, 2002). These training activities, which can be called informal and non-formal education which has a certain space, hierarchy, curricula and continuity, which are made specific to certain areas, have assumed important functions in Islamic society during the process which will continue until the establishment of madrasahs which are organized for this purpose and which are organized for this purpose (Tangulu, Karadeniz and Ateş, 2014; Zengin, 2002). Although it is accepted that a new era started in education with the establishment of madrasahs, Pedersen says that the madrasas do not differ much from the mosques, and that the same educational activities were continued (Pedersen, 1979).

Sargent 2.1 Introduction Since the middle 1960s, many Western economies have experienced persistent and growing rates of inflation. Some prominent economists and statesmen have become convinced that this inflation has a stubborn, self-sustaining momentum and that either it simply is not susceptible to cure by conventional measures of monetary and fiscal restraint or, in terms of the consequent widespread and sustained unemployment, the cost of eradicating inflation by monetary and fiscal measures would be prohibitively high. It is often claimed that there is an underlying rate of inflation which responds slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal measures.1 Evidently, this underlying rate of inflation is the rate of inflation that firms and workers have come to expect will prevail in the future. There is momentum in this process because firms and workers supposedly form their expectations by extrapolating past rates of inflation into the future. If this is true, the years from the middle 1960s to the early 1980s have left firms and workers with a legacy of high expected rates of inflation which promise to respond only slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal policy actions.

    Yesterday's News: Media Framing of Hitler's Early Years, 1923-1924

    92 — The Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 6, No. 1 • Spring 2015 Yesterday’s News: Media Framing of Hitler’s Early Years, 1923-1924 Katherine Blunt Journalism and History Elon University Abstract This research used media framing theory to assess newspaper coverage of Hitler published in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post between 1923 and 1924. An analysis of about 200 articles revealed “credible” and “non-credible” frames relating to his political influence. Prior to Hitler’s trial for treason in 1924, the credible frame was slightly more prevalent. Following his subsequent conviction, the non-credible frame dominated coverage, with reports often presenting Hitler’s failure to over- throw the Bavarian government as evidence of his lack of political skill. This research provides insight into the way American media cover foreign leaders before and after a tipping point—one or more events that call into question their political efficacy. I. Introduction The resentment, suspicion, and chaos that defined global politics during the Great arW continued into the 1920s. Germany plunged into a state of political and economic turmoil following the ratification of the punitive Treaty of Versailles, and the Allies watched with trepidation as it struggled to make reparations pay- ments. The bill — equivalent to 33 billion dollars then and more than 400 billion dollars today — grew increas- ingly daunting as the value of the mark fell from 400 to the dollar in 1922 to 7,000 to the dollar at the start of 1923, when Bavaria witnessed the improbable rise of an Austrian-born artist-turned-politician who channeled German outrage into a nationalistic, anti-Semitic movement that came to be known as the Nazi Party.1 Ameri- can media outlets, intent on documenting the chaotic state of post-war Europe, took notice of Adolf Hitler as he attracted a following and, through their coverage, essentially introduced him to the American public.
