In the previous issue (RCQ 48, p. 10), an excerpt from an article that ran in Köprü student magazine gave readers a glimpse of who Dr. Skipper is. The RCQ asked him what his impressions are of the school after being here for a few months. What has impressed you about RC? The list of things that have impressed me is too long to enumerate unless I have a few volumes of space! One of the things that struck me from the start and remains with me is the aspirational sense of our community. We are a place of striving students and adults, and the power of that culture in a school community is immense. There is also a wonderful family feel to Headmaster Dr. Charlie Skipper addresses the RC community RC. Over 1000 students, over 200 adults, and yet it is really like a family. There are community filled with high achieving groupings, and we have a role to play the moments of love and support and students and adults we can sometimes in leading those groups.

  • The Impact and Role of Social Media Networks on Arab Spring: Egyptian Revolution Case Study
    The Impact and Role of Social Media Networks on Arab Spring: Egyptian Revolution Case Study. Bc. Ahmed Fihaili Master thesis 2012/2013 TBU in Zlín, Faculty of Multimedia Communications 2 TBU in Zlín, Faculty of Multimedia Communications 3 TBU in Zlín, Faculty of Multimedia Communications 4 TBU in Zlín, Faculty of Multimedia Communications 5 Abstract: While in most countries, Social Media Networks (SMN) are used for leisure and business, there are places where those platforms have become tools for mass mobilization and pro- tests organization. Countries throughout the Arab world varied in their usage of social me- dia networks (SMN), but learned from watching others on how to use it effectively to en- gage the outside world and to broadcast the human rights abuses committed by their re- spective regimes. Social unrest began in Tunisia in December 2010 and quickly spread to countries across the Middle East and North Africa, most noticeably in Egypt, Tunis and Syria. In several of these countries, protests evolved into revolutions resulting in the over- throw of autocratic governments. These events, now known as the Arab Spring, have sig- nificantly changed MENA region, and in particular in Egypt as its resulted into the restruc- turing of the Egyptian regime The aim of this study is carried out based on two research themes: studying the impact and role of social media networks (SMN) in the Egyptian “Revolution” of 2011 according to activists and experts, and studying the role of social media sites from the viewpoint of Al- Jazeera and CNN news channels. For this aim, in the study, the researcher will use both qualitative and quantitative research methodology.

Roger Petersen Associate Professor of Political Science Chairman, Committee for Graduate Students MASSCHUBSNSTrRC. OF TECHNOLOGY FEB 2320071 ARCHtiES LIBRARIES Abstract This dissertation develops and demonstrates a theory to account for the outbreak of mass mobilization in authoritarian settings. Two conditions make the expansion of protest across community boundaries more likely: (1) low levels of public goods, coupled with (2) economic opportunities that allow elites autonomous from the state to earn revenue. Under regimes where the rule of law is weak, non-state elites have an incentive to protect their assets from state predation by developing a social support base. They do this by making symbolic gestures and providing surrogate public goods to communities. If the regime threatens to harm this relationship, by restricting elites' freedoms or denying them access to resources, top- down mobilization is one of the few means available to advance or defend their position. Elites base their appeal on shared local identity and the material benefit that people derive from elite charity. The ultimate scale of mobilization is determined by the number and geographic dispersion of elites who mobilize locally and then unite their protests.
