 Roberts,
Walter R. WHAT IS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY? PAST PRACTICES, PRESENT
CONDUCT, POSSIBLE FUTURE (Mediterranean Quarterly, vol. 18, no.
4, Fall 2007, pp. 36-52)
The author, cofounder of the Public Diplomacy Institute at George
Washington University and a former member of the U.S. Advisory
Commission on Public Diplomacy, writes that there is no agreement on
what constitutes public diplomacy. A century ago, the populations of
most countries were all-but-unreachable; no government had any
reason to explain their policies to foreign publics. That changed
with the invention of radio, which the Bolshevik and Nazi regimes
used to great effect. It was the Nazi wartime propaganda activities
in Latin America that prompted the U.S. to initiate cultural and
academic exchanges.

Immigrants Joining the Mainstream

depends on acceptance of certain American ideals, not on the place
of birth of a person or of his or her ancestors. This edition of
eJournal USA tells the story of immigration and diversity as it has
played out through the centuries and continues to play out now.

ABSTRACT
Discipline in Schools
By Thomas J. Billitteri
More than a decade after a string of deadly school shootings focused
attention on student discipline, the search continues for effective
methods to curb classroom misconduct. Zero-tolerance policies,
widely adopted during the 1990s, have led to skyrocketing suspension
and expulsion rates in many school districts, sparking criticism
that get-tough conduct codes are ineffective at
stopping misbehavior and harmful to the education process. |
