For those who do not know, FAFSA stands for Free Ap- plication for Federal Student Aid, and is free to com- plete, so what should students have done by mid October 2019? “Seniors should at least gotten a FAFSA ID, created Common App and logged into Naviance,” said Mr. Poulter, the guidance counselor responsible for SOAR, CBT, BDLC and Allied Health students. Applying to FAFSA helps you financially for college; the earlier you apply, the more money you are eligible to receive. Although FAFSA officially opened Oct. 1, you still can apply. “There is not a true deadline. First come, first serve,” said Poulter.

  • Libertarianism, Culture, and Personal Predispositions
    Undergraduate Journal of Psychology 22 Libertarianism, Culture, and Personal Predispositions Ida Hepsø, Scarlet Hernandez, Shir Offsey, & Katherine White ​ Kennesaw​ State University Abstract The United States has exhibited two potentially connected trends – increasing individualism and increasing interest in libertarian ideology. Previous research on libertarian ideology found higher levels of individualism among libertarians, and cross-cultural research has tied greater individualism to making dispositional attributions and lower altruistic tendencies. Given this, we expected to observe positive correlations between the following variables in the present research: individualism and endorsement of libertarianism, individualism and dispositional attributions, and endorsement of libertarianism and dispositional attributions. We also expected to observe negative correlations between libertarianism and altruism, dispositional attributions and altruism, and individualism and altruism. Survey results from 252 participants confirmed a positive correlation between individualism and libertarianism, a marginally significant positive correlation between libertarianism and dispositional attributions, and a negative correlation between individualism and altruism. These results confirm the connection between libertarianism and individualism observed in previous research and present several intriguing questions for future research on libertarian ideology. Key Words: Libertarianism, individualism, altruism, attributions individualistic, made apparent

    “Consider the Source” A Resource Guide to Liberal, Conservative and Nonpartisan Periodicals 30 East Lake Street ∙ Chicago, IL 60601 HWC Library – Room 501 312.553.5760 ver heard the saying “consider the source” in response to something that was questioned? Well, the same advice applies to what you read – consider the source. When conducting research, bear in mind that periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) may have varying points-of-view, biases, and/or E political leanings. Here are some questions to ask when considering using a periodical source: Is there a bias in the publication or is it non-partisan? Who is the sponsor (publisher or benefactor) of the publication? What is the agenda of the sponsor – to simply share information or to influence social or political change? Some publications have specific political perspectives and outright state what they are, as in Dissent Magazine (self-described as “a magazine of the left”) or National Review’s boost of, “we give you the right view and back it up.” Still, there are other publications that do not clearly state their political leanings; but over time have been deemed as left- or right-leaning based on such factors as the points- of-view of their opinion columnists, the make-up of their editorial staff, and/or their endorsements of politicians. Many newspapers fall into this rather opaque category. A good rule of thumb to use in determining whether a publication is liberal or conservative has been provided by Media Research Center’s L. Brent Bozell III: “if the paper never met a conservative cause it didn’t like, it’s conservative, and if it never met a liberal cause it didn’t like, it’s liberal.” Outlined in the following pages is an annotated listing of publications that have been categorized as conservative, liberal, non-partisan and religious.

  • La Verdad De La Memoria No Radica Tanto En La Exactitud De Los Hechos (Res Factae) Como En El Relato Y En La Interpretación De Ellos (Res Fictae).”1
    1 The Memory of the National and the National as Memory. “…la verdad de la memoria no radica tanto en la exactitud de los hechos (res factae) como en el relato y en la interpretación de ellos (res fictae).”1 (Lechner and Güell 1999: 186) Juan Poblete University of California, Santa Cruz Abstract: My essay seeks to illuminate a different, more encompassing kind of transition than that from dictatorship to post-dictatorship (and its attendant forms of memory of military brutal force and human rights abuses) privileged by studies of political violence and social memory. My focus is twofold: first, to describe a transition from the world of the social to that of the post-social, i.e. a transition from a welfare state-centered form of the nation to its neoliberal competitive state counterpart; and secondly, to analyze its attendant memory dynamics. I am concerned with the double articulation of collective memory under neoliberalism, the deep and recurring violence it has involved at both the social and individual levels, and its self-articulation as a social memory apparatus. Keywords: social, post-social, neoliberal presentism, memory studies, proletarianization. If it is true that every national culture is by definition a form of mediation between the specific and the universal, a framework for understanding the connections between the local and the global, then Chilean culture has been working double shifts for a long time. For the past forty-five years it has been defined by a series of international 2 and global narratives derived, first, from the Cold War struggle and then its post-1989 global neoliberal aftermath.

Freeman* “Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does.”1 Many of you have probably seen this quote floating around the internet on all forms of social media. I have it hanging on my office door in the hope that those who enter will take a moment to notice and maybe, if needed, even reflect on it. The problem is that most people likely do not recognize the negative forces within themselves and those who do may be perfectly fine with them. Recent decisions show how the Supreme Court has allowed negative politics to influence its work leading to heretofore unlikely decisions.2 Today’s political climate has induced changes in society impelling legal findings,3 leading to upheavals in how we view everything from corporate entities4 to limitations 5 on personal rights.

  • THE NEOLIBERAL THEORY of SOCIETY Simon Clarke
    THE NEOLIBERAL THEORY OF SOCIETY Simon Clarke The ideological foundations of neo-liberalism Neoliberalism presents itself as a doctrine based on the inexorable truths of modern economics. However, despite its scientific trappings, modern economics is not a scientific discipline but the rigorous elaboration of a very specific social theory, which has become so deeply embedded in western thought as to have established itself as no more than common sense, despite the fact that its fundamental assumptions are patently absurd. The foundations of modern economics, and of the ideology of neoliberalism, go back to Adam Smith and his great work, The Wealth of Nations. Over the past two centuries Smith’s arguments have been formalised and developed with greater analytical rigour, but the fundamental assumptions underpinning neoliberalism remain those proposed by Adam Smith. Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations as a critique of the corrupt and self-aggrandising mercantilist state, which drew its revenues from taxing trade and licensing monopolies, which it sought to protect by maintaining an expensive military apparatus and waging costly wars. The theories which supported the state conceived of exchange as a ‘zero-sum game’, in which one party’s gain was the other party’s loss, so the maximum benefit from exchange was to be extracted by force and fraud. The fundamental idea of Smith’s critique was that the ‘wealth of the nation’ derived not from the accumulation of wealth by the state, at the expense of its citizens and foreign powers, but from the development of the division of labour. The division of labour developed as a result of the initiative and enterprise of private individuals and would develop the more rapidly the more such individuals were free to apply their enterprise and initiative and to reap the corresponding rewards.

  • The Real Shame of the Nation the Causes and Consequences of Interstate Inequity in Public School Investments
    The Real Shame of the Nation The Causes and Consequences of Interstate Inequity in Public School Investments Bruce D. Baker, Mark Weber, Ajay Srikanth, Robert Kim*, Michael Atzbi Rutgers University This report presents a first attempt at better understanding interstate variation in the costs associated with achieving common outcome goals across all settings and children. We take advantage of two recently released national data panels, applying methods used previously for inter‐district, within state analyses of the costs of meeting common standards. *William T. Grant Foundation Research Fellow The Real Shame of the Nation The Causes and Consequences of Interstate Inequity in Public School Investments Bruce D. Baker, Mark Weber, Ajay Srikanth, Robert Kim*, Michael Atzbi Rutgers University *William T. Grant Foundation Research Fellow Executive Summary For decades, school finance researchers have explored the impact of funding inequities across local public school districts within states on children’s opportunities to meet state student achievement accountability standards. Due, however, to the variation of both state achievement tests and economic conditions within and between states, there has never been a national study comparing states’ abilities to achieve a common student achievement outcome and assessing the cost associated for each state to do so. In addition, there has never been a study applying a uniform model for determining the fiscal impact of poverty on reaching a particular student achievement outcome across states. This paper presents, for the first time, a new National Education Cost Model (NECM) to better understand the relative adequacy of state investments in public schooling toward achieving common outcome goals.

  • Washington's Headquarters
    Introduction: Washington’s Headquarters “Our situation compels us to search for the cause of our extreme poverty. The citizens murmur at the greatness of their taxes, and are astonished that no part reaches the army. The numerous demands, which are between the first collectors and the soldiers, swallow up the whole.” -Letter to Congress from “officers of the United States Army” When George Washington needed a headquarters at the end of the war, a family willingly offered its home for the general. While there, he was given the chance to become King George I of the United States of America. When New York Governor Hamilton Fish signed “An act for the purchase of Washington’s Headquarters in the village of Tappan,” he became the first public executive to use taxpayer money to purchase and maintain an historic site, he too made history. If either man hadn’t been a visionary, the history of the United States would have been very different. The years leading up to Washington’s occupation of Newburgh were certainly eventful. With Maryland’s ratification of the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union in 1781 the country had a truly national government, albeit one called a “firm league of friendship.” Unfortunately, this one branch government had to rely on the states for its revenues. Congress also had to rely upon the states to furnish men to fill up the ranks of its armed forces. With the British surrender at Yorktown on October 19th of that year, Washington needed to maintain a defensive posture. Remember that the British occupied New York City until 1783, so Washington had to make sure that his position was secure.

  • First Years of the New Nation Copy
    The First Years of the New Nation !In 1790, the United States was beginning its new life as a nation. It had a Constitution and its first president, George Washington. That year, the government took the first national census and learned that the country had nearly 4 million people. Most Americans were still clustered along the eastern seaboard, but some hardy pioneers had begun to move inland. The Country Expands Beyond Its Colonial Borders !In these early years, the United States was predominately a rural nation. However, it did have a number of flourishing cities, including the old colonial centers of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. !The country was also expanding beyond its original 13 states. Between 1790 and 1800, three new states entered the Union: Vermont, Kentucky and Tennessee. Many settlers were migrating west across the Appalachian Mountains into the area known as the Northwest Territory. This territory would later become the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Settlers were also moving into the area of present-day Mississippi and Alabama. By the early 1800s, American settlements were scattered across a large territory, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Mississippi River in the West. Agriculture is the Center of the Nation’s Economy !In states old and new, farming was the nation’s most important economic activity. Most Americans farmed on small plots, producing food for themselves and their families. If they produced a surplus, they might sell it in nearby towns or cities. !The United States had little industry at this time. Most farmers made their own clothing and tools.

    JoAnn Wypijewski Professional History 1999 – present: independent writer, editor, political educator 1982 – 2000: editor (various positions), The Nation As a writer, I have published in Harper’s, The Nation, The New York Times Magazine, the LA Times, CounterPunch, New Left Review, Elle, Il Manifesto, The Guardian of London and other publications and anthologies. From 2005 to 2007, I contributed a bimonthly column, “Signs Along the Road”, to Mother Jones, and since 2008 have written a regular feature for The Nation titled “Carnal Knowledge”. I also have a monthly column in CounterPunch titled “Diamonds and Rust”. As an editor, I have shaped and restructured the manuscripts of other authors for magazines and books; co-edited an anthology; produced an edited volume of posthumous collected work; and created what The New York Times called “a wonderfully tricky work of art”. As a practitioner of political education, I co-founded and have for the past fifteen years coordinated a summer seminar/retreat program in Vermont called Kopkind. I have also been a guest lecturer for classes at various colleges and universities (including NYU, Columbia University and its Law School, Hunter College, City College, Bard College, UMass Amherst), as well as a visiting fellow at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. At The Nation, I held the positions of copy editor, copy chief, managing editor and senior editor. In addition to production, assigning, editing and writing, I also edited two special issues: on the politics of sports; and on a century of politics, tracing the history of US liberal opinion through 100 years of excerpts from The Nation.
