Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

Social-emotional development is given only incidental attention. Families must be prepared to take up the slack. Otherwise students’ emotional growth may be impeded, resulting in diminished social skills, motivation, and ability to cope with stress. This book describes how public schools have changed and provides strategies for helping your child to thrive. Liane Brouillette is an associate professor of education at the University of California, Irvine. Drawing on her experience teaching in public schools in the United States and Europe, she explains how budget cuts, along with LIANE BROUI state and federal mandates, have stretched American teachers thin. She urges parents to be proactive in preparing their children with the tools needed to thrive in contemporary classrooms.

    FORREST GUMP - REDEEMER LITE: THEOLOGICAL TEXT IN A POSTMODERN CONTEXT Chris Wells, Winnipeg MB Canada “The present age with its sudden enthusiasms followed by apathy and indolence is very near the comic; but those who understand the comic see quite clearly that the comic is not where the present age imagines. Now satire, if it is to do a little good and not cause immeasurable harm, must be firmly based upon a consistent ethical view of life, a natural distinction which renounces the success of the moment; otherwise the cure will be infinitely worse than the disease." - Kierkegaard, The Present Age TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………..1 CHAPTER 1. Interpreting Culture, Art, and Movies Theologically……………………..5 CHAPTER 2. Theological and Mythological Interpretations of Forrest Gump ……..….27 CHAPTER 3. Postmodern Ideological Interpretations of Forrest Gump ………..….......50 CHAPTER 4. Contemporary Theological Discussions Initiated by Forrest Gump …….78 CONCLUSION…………………………………………………………………………104 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………107 INTRODUCTION I enjoy watching movies. I also enjoy interpreting. As a Christian minister I have been trained in interpretation of the biblical text. This current interpretive exercise goes beyond the biblical text, however, to include contemporary artistic expression. The modern North American cultural setting is often characterized as becoming increasingly secularized, but when one considers the creative expressions of the time it is clear that North Americans are still grappling with the large questions of religious meaning. Movies are the unique artistic contribution of the modern era and along with TV are the primary theatre for contemporary story telling, self-understanding and quests for meaning. I was the pastor of a church until 2002, and had begun, since 2000, to use contemporary commercial movie scenes as part of my sermon presentation.

ESSAY THE NET PROFITS PUZZLE Victor P. Goldberg* The use of "net profits" clauses in the movie business poses a problem. The standardperception is that Hollywood accountingresults in successful films showing no net profits. If that is indeed so, then why have they survivedfor over four decades? This Essay argues that a successful movie will fail to yield net profits only if a "grossparticipant" (a major star whose compensa- tion is in part afunction of the film's gross receipts) becomes associated with the film. Since the net profits participants typically are associated with a project first, the question becomes: Why would they be willing to sacrifice some (or all) of their contingent compensation when a gross participant is added to the project? The answer is that the net participantsare made better off, ex ante, both directly by increasing their expected earnings, and indi- rectly because the studio is willing to payfor the increasedflexibility.
