  • Doctor Strangelove
    A PPENDI C ES Feature Film Study: Doctor Strangelove Doctor Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Dir. Stanley Kubrick, USA, 1964. Comedy/Satire. Classification PG. 95 min. DVD, Columbia. Historical Themes/Topics War and peace in the 20th century: Cold War, nuclear arms race, atomic energy, social values and climate of 1960s Historical Context According to many historians, rapid advances in science and technology during the 20th century have contributed to making it one of the most destructive eras in world history. Arguably, in a bare-bones approach, history can be characterized as a continuing series of violent attacks between groups of humans. Typically, war is studied in terms of geographic and political realignments. However, something happened to warfare in the 20th century that has changed our collective understanding of war and peace in western societ y. The ability to understand and harness atomic energy is characteristic of the advancements in science and technology in the 20th century. It reflects the attempt among modern scientists to understand the smallest particles that are the building blocks of matter, whether in particle physics, microbiology, genetic research, or the development of the microchip. The development of the atomic bomb allowed humans to develop weapons of mass destruction. For the first time in history, human beings have the power to wipe out entire civilizations in seconds. At the same time, the increasing destructiveness of warfare is communicated with immediacy using modern Doctor Strangelove 133 communications technologies. The fact that mass communications include real images of real people suffering has played a role in developing a modern sensibility of the “other.” Faced with images of the destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, North Americans saw children and families as well as whole neighbourhoods destroyed in the blink of an eye.

  • Are You Balanced with Your Environment?
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1999 Volume VI: Human-Environment Relations: International Perspectives from History, Science, Politics, and Ethics Are You Balanced With Your Environment? Curriculum Unit 99.06.07 by Yolanda U. Trapp (Dedicated to my grandchildren, Eme, Benjamin, Celeste and Dominique and to my Principal, Patricia DeRenzo.) RATIONALE It is of vital importance that students of Elementary Schools, starting in kindergarten, be introduced to the topic of the environmental balance and to inform them and their families what could happen to the Earth if we don't make the effort to provide and create the potential for future changes like clean drinking water or conserve the pristine environment like forests and lands, and conserve and recycle resources. We may yet leave for our children a world community that takes several steps and challenges to secure our common future.
