“Heart Speaking to Heart… So Great a Cloud of Witnesses”
“Heart Speaking to Heart… So Great A Cloud of Witnesses” January 8, 2012 Rev. Bruce Southworth, Senior Minister The Community Church of New York Unitarian Universalist Reading Rev. John Taylor, ordained as a Methodist in 1958, had served as Assistant to Howard Thurman at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel. He became a Unitarian Minister in 1960. His distinguished service included 25 years at the First Unitarian Society in Ithaca. He died last July at age 79. From his writings: It is an act of courage to live when the days and nights of illness have beaten upon the door of sanity until a kind of haze covers the hours, and we wonder if it is worth it. It is an act of courage to live when a spouse of so many years is gone, and all which gave meaning and purpose and enjoyment to our days is no longer available. It is an act of courage to live when the job which defined a place in the work-a-day world has been eliminated, and the opportunities which were believed to be there have suddenly disappeared. It is an act of courage to live when one is suddenly alone and no one seems to care. It is an act of courage to watch the children grow up and ignore careful teachings and destroy tenderly guarded hopes. It is an act of courage to live in a world which seems to care nothing for the past and which is irresponsible towards the future. Courage is not as rare as warriors and survivors would have us believe. -
Elise Piazza Weisenbach Unit 2 Freedom Introduction Media
Unit 2 Freedom Introduction Media flourished in Argentina in the 19th century, but by the 20th century, government interference was weakening the free press. In the 1940’s the military government monopolized the media. President Perón and his wife Evita manipulated the press and radio for their own political agenda and eventually most newspapers were taken over by the government. During the Process of National Reorganization (El Proceso), the junta condemned anyone considered to be a “subversive”, ousted foreign correspondents, and arrested or disappeared many journalists. Under state control, the media became a vehicle for promoting anti- Marxist and anti-subversive rhetoric while ignoring reports of disappearances, kidnappings and other atrocities. Fear prevailed in Argentina, and people believed that if someone disappeared, he must have done something wrong. Essential Questions for Lessons I-III • How do governments protect freedom of speech and freedom of the press? How do governments abuse freedom of speech and freedom of the press? • How are freedom of the press and freedom of speech protected in the United States? What are examples of limitations on these freedoms? Who do you think should not have freedom of speech? Why? • Is there censorship in the United States? Should there be? Under what circumstances should a government impose censorship? • How do governments manipulate their citizens? Why do governments repress their citizens? • How do governments maintain public secrecy? • How do writers and artists express their most important sociopolitical views? • Under what circumstances are people censured? Exiled? Objectives Students will: • brainstorm human rights issues, censorship, freedom of speech • read and discuss Chapter 1 of Lexicon of Terror by Marguerite Feitlowitz • complete assignment sheets • present biographies or literature reviews of censored or exiled Argentinians to the class. -

The Long Run Developmental Effects of Costa Rica's Army Abolishment
A farewell to arms: The Long run developmental effects of Costa Rica's army abolishment Alejandro Abarca Sur´ayabi Ram´ırez Observatory of Development, University of Observatory of Development, University of Costa Rica Costa Rica January, 2017 PRELIMINARY VERSION Abstract This article measures the long-term developmental effects of Costa Rica's constitutional abolishment of its army in 1949, using synthetic control estimates. We find that after the abolishment of the army, Costa Rica's per capita GDP started growing at a much faster rate than before the abolishment. Where Costa Rica's per capita GDP grew at an average annual rate of 2.49% in the 1951-2010 period, while the synthetic control grew would have grown at an annual rate of 1.43% during the same period. Furthermore, we provide evidence to claim that this shock is robust and exclusive in Latin America. Thus suggesting that the army abolishment has indeed yielded long term benefits for Costa Rica. 1 Introduction Following the end of the civil in 1949, Costa Rica abolished its army and redirected its budget to- ward healthcare and education. Ever since and up to this day, Costa Rica has achieved some of the highest living standards and development indicators in Latin America. Furthermore, unlike most other countries in the region, Costa Rica has not had dictatorships or armed conflicts since the abolishment of its army. In addition, soon after the abolishment of its army, the country started experiencing a notable economic growth divergence relative to the rest of the countries in the region. Thus, these institutional changes along with long-standing democratic history have been considered to be factors of paramount importance that have led to these developmental achieve- ments and democratic stability in the country up to this day. -

Cuando los oídos no quieren escuchar y los ojos no quieren ver; cuando el imperio de la mente domina al corazón, compartiendo un espacio infértil... observando estos rudimentarios niveles de comprensión, ¿cómo puede nuestra necedad tener la osadía de desperdiciar la experiencia de ver germinar la semilla de la encarnación dentro nuestro?

After the governing party’s presidential candidate was disqualified from the presidential race, Otto Peréz Molina defeated Manuel Baldízon in a November runoff. High profile killings Partly of 27 farm workers and Argentine folk singer Facundo Cabral, and states of siege in Alta Verapaz and Petén, dominated the headlines even though the country’s murder rate declined for a second consecutive Free year. FREEDOM RATING The Republic of Guatemala, which was established in 1839, has endured a history of dictatorship, foreign intervention, military coups, and guerrilla insurgencies. Civilian rule followed the 1985 elections, and a 36-year civil 3.5 war, which claimed the lives of more than 200,000 people, ended with a 1996 peace agreement. The Guatemalan CIVIL LIBERTIES National Revolutionary Unity (URNG) guerrilla movement became a political party, and two truth commissions began receiving complaints of human rights violations committed during the conflict. However, voters in 1999 4 rejected a package of constitutional amendments that had been prepared in accordance with the peace plan. POLITICAL RIGHTS In 2003, Óscar Berger of the Grand National Alliance (GANA) defeated Álvaro Colom of the National Unity for Hope (UNE) in runoff presidential elections. In 2007, Colom defeated Otto Pérez Molina of the Patriotic Party (PP) in a runoff vote to become president, capturing 53 percent of the vote amid a mere 45 percent turnout.
