What work was and what work is: The work poetry of Philip Levine.
No full textThe goal of this dissertation is to explain Philip Levine\u27s unique perspective on work in our lives. Levine sets out to describe the difficult and dangerous conditions of the work he experienced in his various industrial jobs in and around the city of Detroit. He attempts to depict the physical and psychological burdens of such a working life for him and his co-workers. Given all that is involved with work in our lives, Levine demonstrates the various influences that keep individuals in such working conditions. The specific working time of the shift labor provides interesting starts and stops that allow the poet to explore those influences through moments of reflection and revelation. Through the use of Michel Foucault, this dissertation will show the self-discipline performed by these workers as they cling to an identity that does them harm. Levine employs familial and religious allusions to express how the workers come to view themselves in their daily lives and over a lifetime. Because Levine was able to leave those times, he is able to offer a unique perspective on that working life as it has affected him his entire life, though he has enjoyed a long career as a poet. His life as a factory worker and as a poet are ever entwined and affecting one another. Levine is able to perform what Foucault calls resistance against the dehumanizing work of the past because of his art and of the compassion he exudes in wanting to return to his working past, especially to those who never left
A Man Older Than His Years: Franklin D. Roosevelt\u27s Last Days
Get PDFIn April 1945, all seemed well in the United States; the end of the war in Europe was within the grasps of the Allied forces as they drove their invasion into the heart of the European Theatre. On April 12 of that year, however, the thirty-second President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, died in Warm Springs, Georgia. The news concerning President Roosevelt sent shock waves around the world. The cause of the death of Roosevelt was in question, because no autopsy was performed; the surgeon general of the U.S. Navy and Roosevelt\u27s personal physician, Vice Admiral Ross T. McIntire, stated on numerous occasions that prior to his unexpected death, the president was as healthy as ever. In reality, though, Roosevelt had been gravely ill for the final five years of his presidency. With the cooperation of McIntire and his other advisers, Roosevelt was able to conceal from the American people the truth about his health. His many ailments weakened him mentally as well as physically and affected his ability to make decisions. Although clearly dying by 1944, he chose to run for an unprecedented fourth term and then made little effort to prepare his Vice President, Harry S. Truman, to succeed him. Roosevelt\u27s actions put a nation already imperiled by the war in still more danger

Do Role-Playing Simulations Generate Measurable and Meaningful Outcomes? A Simulation’s Effect on Exam Scores and Teaching Evaluations
Get PDFRole-playing simulations are frequently claimed to be effective pedagogical tools in the teaching of international relations; however, there is a surprising lack of empirical evidence on their classroom utility. The assessment of simulations remains mostly anecdotal, and some recent research has found little to no statistically significant improvements in quantitative measures of academic performance among students who participated in them (e.g,, Krain and Lantis 2006; Powner and Allendoerfer 2008). Scant research has been conducted on how role-playing simulations might affect students’ perceptions of the instructor’s teaching. This paper investigates whether a simulation had statistically significant effect on students’ exam scores in an international relations course or on student teaching evaluation scores
