Clarification: People to People Ambassadors Program, China Tour A number of Canadian educators have received invitations to join a tour to the Peoples Republic of China organized by People to People Ambassadors (www.peopletopeople.com), a well established and respected U.S. organization that sponsors international exchanges to promote intercultural understanding. It appears that People to People Ambassadors has used some mailing lists with home addresses. These have not been provided by either CEA or the Halifax Regional School Board. We regret both the confusion and concern that this has caused. Although this is a worthy program, it has not been officially endorsed by either CEA or HRSB. Education Canada's Summer 2009 edition is now available Our latest issue features several articles that focus on the relationship between public policy and public opinion, and the negative consequences that can arise when these policies are drafted in response to public opinion with little research into their effectiveness. In Rising Educational Expectations: Trends and Limits in Times of Economic Downturn authors Doug Hart and D.W. Livingstone argue that relying on education spending as a major part of an economic stimulus package would be a mistake because our economic problems are not a result of educational failures. They conclude that “We should support educational investment for the things that it can do, but recognize clearly what it cannot do.” ÉTUDE ONTARIO/QUÉBEC ÉTUDE ONTARIO/QUÉBEC is an interprovincial initiative of the Ministries of Education of Ontario and Quebec that examined the use of information technology in the classroom by comparing students’ level of engagement, comprehension and knowledge transfer using two different technologies. In Ontario, students used a digital audiovideo simulation training module on CD-Rom. In Quebec, students collaborated with peers and the teacher through the use of a Knowledge Forum.

National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS)? From their Web site: The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences was founded in 1955. It is dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy® Award for News, Sports, Daytime, Public Service and Technology. NATAS: That's really "Satan" spelled backwards. So is television evil? Is the Emmy an image of a winged angel holding an atom, or Lucifer tossing the world like a toy ball? Should I burn my TV?

Can u please help me with this personal statement and give some advice on how to edit it...or u may edit it.? During my first year in college, my interest in Science was broadened. There were activities that gave me a brief introduction to the course I'm pursuing like the experiments that weconducted in our Chemistry class and the dissection of frog in our Zoology. The introduction of First Aid gave me a more brief idea on the work of a nurse and it was very useful in times especially when one of my family members needed it most. As I turned into second year college, Iwas introduced to new subjects namely Nutrition, Science Technology and Society and Health Economics which gave me a wider interest in the course that I am taking. Our class did a community service and conducted surveys in our Civic Welfare Training Service Program,and from that experience I learned that it is very heartwaming to listen and assist in the problems of other people. I am happy to provide comfort and help to the troubled and diseased ones. I usually read Science and Health related books and magazines during my free time and I'm very fond of watching educational shows like Discovery Channel And National Geographic Channel. Badminton is the sport that I play and I also go to the gym once in a while. Scrabble is my favorite board game. My household responsibilities, other than doing chores, include helping my younger brother and cousin in their studies. Additional Details Apr 11, 2006 at 12:29 pm can u pls...give me some advice regards to it so i cud edit it

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Read! Does this sound okay? =/? I'm applying to George Washington University in Washington D.C., and this is the Freshman Admissions essay question. -----If you could look over my essay and provide any constructive criticism to make it better I would greatly appreciate it! Prompt: Tell us in no more than 500 words what motivated you to apply and describe what contacts you have had with GW. We have told you about the dynamic GW classroom, campus, and city experience, now tell us how you will make use of these resources in meeting your educational goals. Educational goals have always been a top priority to me; which is why in the process of selecting a potential college, the location and opportunities available play an enormous role in my interest level of the school. George Washington University is exclusively my number one choice for exactly those reasons. Not only is it located in one of the most prominent cities in the United States, Washington D.C., but it also offers students numerous unparalleled opportunities. With my educational aspirations hopefully leading to a career in Clinical Psychology, George Washington would open so many doors unattainable elsewhere. Residing so proximal to the Smithsonian museums and research facilities would provide me limitless amounts of knowledge; while the University’s close connections with the National Institutes of Health would administer wonderful research capabilities. With the campus lying centrally in an exceptionally multicultural city, I will have the chance to observe many different aspects of society in a very personal manner. Viewing humanity in it’s most raw state, I believe, is key in understanding why we as society act and react as we do, which is why I would promptly pursue involvement in a Service Learning class through the Office of Community Service as a means of enriching my studies. The advanced technology, innovative learning environments, and superior research facilities offered by the University set it perceptively above most other institutions for higher education. The opportunity to attend George Washington University would singlehandedly enhance my educational experience, and create illimitable experiences and opportunities to better myself as not only a student, but as a member of society

History help!! i dont understand 10 pts to best answer !!!!? 1. Each year, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) rates a nation’s development according to the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI measures the human development in a country based on certain factors. Which is a factor the index uses? (Points: 3) birth rate education gross national income assessable tax base 2. Economic experts use certain measures, such as GNP and GDP to divide the world into two groups—developed nations and developing nations. Which is not a characteristic of a developing nation? (Points: 3) low income attempting to improve the lives of its citizens high literacy rate inconsistent economic development How do lack of education, high national debt, and trade barriers affect developing nations? (Points: 3) They reduce the workforce and encourage foreign investment. They create the basis for poverty. They make it impossible for democracy to prevail. They force the government to impose high taxes on everyone. 6. People have many different reasons for packing up and leaving an area where they have spent their entire life. Which is least likely to motivate people to move? (Points: 3) to escape war to find beautiful landscapes to escape natural disasters seek economic opportunity 7. When is adequate infrastructure especially important to an area? (Points: 3) when there is an increase in crime during the tourist season during a period of rapid urbanization when traffic patterns change 8. Which two factors have spurred rapid globalization? (Points: 3) terrorism and global warming technology and government policy nationalism and parochialism widespread disorder and natural disasters 9. What is most likely to result from globalization? (Points: 3) increased command economies globally decreased economic growth for developing nations increased world trade and foreign investments decrease in quality of living conditions 10. What is the definition of globalization? (Points: 3) the international exchange of ideas and currency the process of population control and poverty reduction the UN's process for creating a world democracy the worldwide exchange of goods, services, capital, people, and information 11. Why would the vice president of an American tent manufacturing company be concerned about the shortage of skilled labor in India? (Points: 3) India is the only nation in Southeast Asia that provides textiles to American companies. Global interdependence means that a problem in one nation’s economy can affect other economies. Trade agreements restrict the United States from trading in textiles with non-Asian countries. Global interdependence results in trade agreements that favor countries that have command economies. 12. How have increased educational opportunities for women affected their status in the world economy? (Points: 3) More women have been employed outside their homes, resulting in greater empowerment. Fewer women have been elected or appointed to government positions, although more are eligible. Finding jobs outside their homes remains difficult, although when they do, women’s salaries top those of men Despite increased educational opportunities, most jobs remain unavailable to women. 13. What best describes the effect of increased globalization on the environment? (Points: 3) It has negatively affected the environment, forcing the international community to work toward solutions. It has positively affected the environment because more nations are now aware of the problems. Increased globalization has had little, if any, effect on the environment. Increased globalization is severely hurting the environment and nothing is being done to address this issue.

why has there been no opposition to the obama jugend in congress? Expanded Americorps has an authoritarian feel By Examiner Editorial - 3/26/09 With almost no public attention, both chambers of Congress in the past week advanced an alarming expansion of the Americorps national service plan, with the number of federally funded community service job increasing from 75,000 to 250,000 at a cost of $5.7 billion. Lurking behind the feel-good rhetoric spouted by the measure’s advocates is a bill that on closer inspection reveals multiple provisions that together create a strong odor of creepy authoritarianism. The House passed the measure overwhelmingly, while only 14 senators had the sense and courage to vote against it on a key procedural motion. Every legislator who either voted for this bill or didn’t vote at all has some serious explaining to do. Last summer, then-candidate Barack Obama threw civil liberties to the wind when he proposed “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the regular military. The expanded Americorps is not quite so disturbing, but a number of provisions in the bill raise serious concerns. To begin with, the legislation threatens the voluntary nature of Americorps by calling for consideration of “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people.” It anticipates the possibility of requiring “all individuals in the United States” to perform such service – including elementary school students. The bill also summons up unsettling memories of World War II-era paramilitary groups by saying the new program should “combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service,” while establishing “campuses” that serve as “operational headquarters,” complete with “superintendents” and “uniforms” for all participants. It allows for the elimination of all age restrictions in order to involve Americans at all stages of life. And it calls for creation of “a permanent cadre” in a “National Community Civilian Corps.” But that’s not all. The bill also calls for “youth engagement zones” in which “service learning” is “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.” This updated form of voluntary community service is also to be “integrated into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curricula” at all levels of schooling. Sounds like a government curriculum for government approved “service learning,” which is nothing less than indoctrination. Now, ask yourself if congressmen who voted for this monstrosity had a clue what they were voting for. If not, they’re guilty of dereliction of duty. If yes, the implications are truly frightening. UPDATE: Between being first officially "reported" to the House and being voted on by the full House, bill managers stripped one whole section of the measure that created a Congressional Commission on Civil Service, thus removing the section that contained the language cited above concerning "a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people" and a possible requirement for "all individuals in the United States" to perform such service. The section could be restored during the Senate-House conference committee meeting. A new, separate bill containing that language has since been introduced in the House.

Can we clear Al Gores name in the accusation that he said he "invented the internet"? Despite the derisive references that continue even today, Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The "Al Gore said he 'invented' the Internet" put-downs were misleading, out-of-context distortions of something he said during an When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. Clearly, although Gore's phrasing might have been a bit clumsy (and perhaps self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or implemented it), but that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings the former is used in the sense of "to bring about" or "to bring into existence" while the latter is generally used to signify the first instance of someone's thinking up or implementing an idea. (To those who say the words "create" and "invent" mean exactly the same thing, we have to ask why, then, the media overwhelmingly and consistently cited Gore as having claimed he "invented" the Internet, even though he never used that word, and transcripts of what he actually said were readily available.) If President Eisenhower had said in the mid-1960s that he, while president, "created" the Interstate Highway System, we would not have seen dozens and dozens of editorials lampooning him for claiming he "invented" the concept of highways or implying that he personally went out and dug ditches across the country to help build the roadway. Everyone would have understood that Ike meant he was a driving force behind the legislation that created the highway system, and this was the very same concept Al Gore was expressing about himself with his Internet statement. Whether Gore's statement that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet" is justified is a subject of debate. Any statement about the "creation" or "beginning" of the Internet is difficult to evaluate, because the Internet is not a homogenous entity (it's a collection of computers, networks, protocols, standards, and application programs), nor did it all spring into being at once (the components that comprise the Internet were developed in various places at different times and are continuously being modified, improved, and expanded). A spirited <A of Gore's claim by Vint Cerf (often referred to as the "father of the Internet") notes "that as a Senator and now as Vice President, Gore has made it a point to be as well-informed as possible on technology and issues that surround it," although many of the components of today's Internet came into being well before Gore's first term in Congress began in 1977. It is true, though, that Gore was popularizing the term "information superhighway" in the early 1990s (although he did not, as is often claimed by others, coin the phrase himself) when few people outside academia or the computer/defense industries had heard of the Internet, and he sponsored the 1988 National High-Performance Computer Act (which established a national computing plan and helped link universities and libraries via a shared network) and cosponsored the Information Infrastructure and Technology Act of 1992 (which opened the Internet to commercial traffic). In May 2005, the organizers of the Webby Awards for online achievements honored Al Gore with a lifetime achievement award for three decades of contributions to the Internet.

Whats 3% matter considering the good that will be done.? I wrote: The climate in America has become stagnant in that there's been a decrease in our actual culture. Education has been watered down dumbed. Americans have become soft-ists to the point of a complacency. Industry in only a shadow of what it once was. Jobs are being shipped over seas at even increasing rates. The majority of jobs available fall into either the technical sales or service industries. In a way economically speaking its like selling air there's no true value as you would have in a industrial economy. The idea is to invest in the people. Obama is asking the elite wealthy of the country who has been so good to them to contribute just a bit more 3% not as a punishment but a patriotic act. Obama proposals or plan is to invest in the people by redistributing a small portion of wealth to the youth the future of America. Investing in education, infrastructure, science and technology. Investing in small business creation leveling the playing field. Simply making small farmers capable of competing in the food markets. Obama's plan will create a whole new renaissance in America To create a new era of enlightenment as such is a renaissance you must start with the youth. By improving the elementary level of education and making it available to ALL Americans will flood our universities thus creating the era of knowledge and arts. Arts in an area severely diminished in our currant nationalism seen in political polls on where we are headed as a country. Our currant education system is an embarrassment when compared to other developed countries. Music has seen a huge decline. When I was a kid it was a popular idea to grow up to be a scientist. You just don't hear that from kids today. We need to excite the young in these areas. I had observed many striking similarities between FDR and Barak Obama. Obama's plan most resembles to me the New Deal of Roosevelt. Roosevelt saw in the international bankers and cooperation's the inherit evil, the greed and corruption that caused the Great Depression. Occasional capitalism needs to be tempered with some beneficial social policies. This I feel is one of these times. Roosevelt spoke: "Throughout the nation men and women, forgotten in the political philosophy of the Government, look to us here for guidance and for more equitable opportunity to share in the distribution of national wealth… I pledge you, I pledge myself to a new deal for the American people… This is more than a political campaign. It is a call to arms” Today: LONG BEACH, California (Reuters) – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that failing public schools pose her greatest national security concern, one she warned could undermine the United States' ability to lead and to compete in a global economy. Equal access to educational opportunities, she said, also lies at the heart of one of the nation's most important core values -- the belief in the United States as a true meritocracy. Rice, a Stanford University professor before joining the Bush administration, spoke at a conference of women organized by former TV journalist Maria Shriver, the wife of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. As an educator, Rice said it broke her heart to see "kids who might be the next Nobel Prize winner ... trapped in some public school that's just basically warehousing them." "But as a secretary of state, it makes me terrified because ... if we cannot do better in educating all of our people, then we are not going to be competitive in a global economy," she said. "We're going to become protectionist, we're going to turn inward, the United States is not going to lead." Moreover, she said, the lack of quality education for all children jeopardizes the fundamental American belief that every citizen has the opportunity for success, no matter their background or place of origin. "If we can't keep that true for every American, we're going to lose who we are, and then we won't lead, and so it is for me the most pressing national security issue," she said. Rice offered little in the way of concrete solutions for addressing inequities in public schools -- suggesting part of the answer lies in "the best practices" adopted by schools that succeed and "having high standards You all have valid points. I know throwing money at something isn't the answer but we do need to start somewhere.

Should California delcare war on the unitedstates? ( This political Question is based on a fictional but possible future Please pretend its Real dems and reps indp are welcomed. No Russians pls) After the United states attacked the Southern Alliance. There are a few possible decisions for the Californian Federation. Should the Californian Federation invade 2nd half of new Mexico to have a buffer zone between the south and The federation? Should the Californian federation willingly axis themselves to the united states? Or should the Californian Federation declare war on the U.S and Help the southerners(The south is geographically closer but ideologically further)? To help you make this Decisions I composed a profile on each faction. The Californian Federation Population- Least populated Military- The most technologically advanced Military thanks to Silicon valley(possibly in the world). Smallest military with only 1.2 mil people in service 200,000 of which were drafted. Also the Californian Military has the first visually stealth space and air ship. Right now at prototype stage the ship can destroy a medium sized city. The ship was a left over project from the old U.S.A. The Airfoce is made up of mostly F-35s with some F-22s. The military recently got the ability to build the F-22. Government/History- There has been many regime changes in the CF. At first a democracy then a dictatorship and now a democracy\republic after captain rick showed the consequences to president James Cromwell of a tyranny(Drafted soldiers ran away from the battlefield) on board the stealth ship CF California over Dallas Texas (during the U.S invasion). The CF is the most secular government out of all the factions with similar restrictions to china when it comes to religion. This decision came because of the large amount of christian terrorist attacks. A panel of 5 decides weather a religion is dangerous and harmful to society. Geographically- California, all the way to New Mexico half that is controlled by the federation. New Mexico is split between the south and Californian Federation. The CF control Utah and everything around Wyoming and all the way to Washington state. The United states Of America- Population- Most populated Faction. Military- The most balanced military out of the two. Has 3.5 mil in service. Technology balanced. Has a left over missile satellites system from the old united states. Air force is made up of F-22s/F-35s Geographically- Controls the north and all the way to south Dakota. Government/history - Same system of government of the original U.S.A but with most of the population under marshal law. Only 25% of citizens are allowed to vote during elections. plenty of military academy has kept the military levels high. The Californian federation has also copied this idea of military academies and just started implementing similar programs. The southern Alliance Of America. - Population- the 2nd most populated Military- Possibly the most powerful force in the region with a whopping 5.0 mil personnel in service. Drafted soldiers make up %60 of the military. With Massive national military parades in Austin Texas the capital of the south. Technologically least advance out of the two because of a backwards christian educational system that lacks in the sciences(expect in southern Private schools). Southern military is like a truck slow to speed up but once going fast its unstoppable. Unfortunately this leaves them open to invasion if tactically done correctly. Most foot soldiers are indoctrinated with a christian justification for self sacrifice for the glory of the state. The Southern Air force is made up of spit of mostly F-16s and F-35s and some F-22's. Geographically- New Mexico half of the south to Tennessee. Government/history Southern alliance practices hardcore conservatism and do to the high number of Christians the southern alliance official religion is Christianity. The government is a Aristocracy/republic. With unelected religious leaders and wealthy businessmen assign to a council that can impeached the democratically elected president. The Christian government imposing strict regulations on social behavior and mistreats those of other religions. There are also Christians schools that indoctrinate children. There is also heavy propaganda in the south which leads to mistrust between citizens and the government. Because of this mistrust drafted military personnel in the military sometimes defect to the north or west. This hardcore type of conservatism has brought great wealth but also a large cap between the poor and the rich. Alaska is a natural state. Hawaii surrendered to the Californian fleet. Liberian state of Kansas was over thrown by Neo-Nazies another libertarian state of Alabama was invaded by the south. About the author Politically I am centrist but I am socially liberal. I am biased towards one of these factions guess which one for a cookie. Oh if you have Ok for you right wingers like izzy. Maybe I need to explain things better but California broke away from the U.S and formed a small empire. All debts from California are now null and void since they created there own country. The states allied with Cali because of the military, natural resources and population. States that did not join willingly like AZ were invaded for security reasons. Stop this Cali bashing its not part of the question.

Why are Black people so deplorably portrayed within the U.S. media? History affirms that African Americans have done more towards the obtainment of equality in the United States than other ethnic group. Where of which other ethnic groups, victimized by white racism, such as Asians, Latin’s, Native Americans etc had painfully accustomed their lives around America’s blatant system of white institutionalized racism African Americans however unified themselves and fought against it. During the 1960’s African Americans fought white institutionalized racism on every front using militant means , non violent civil disobedience methods and through Black lawyers pleading their cases for equality within America’s Supreme court. The brilliant organization and mobilizations of mass bus boycotts, marches, freedom riders, and sit ins that were peacefully conducted through the unified protest of civil disobedience by African Americans was remarkable and demonstrated an immense degree of Black unity. These methods of civil disobedience gave the world images of African Americans being violently attacked by Whites and not violently responding to them in return. These images touched the hearts and consciences of others, gaining national and global support that eventually lead to white America abandoning its blatant and legalized forms of Jim Crow racism. The degree of unity and organization demonstrated among African Americans then was extraordinary and arguably remains unrivaled by any other group in the history of America. Additionally African American contribution towards the advancements in the fields of science and technology during and following reconstruction has also been remarkably astounding. This was made evident by the overabundance of patent applications submitted by African American inventors to the U.S. Patent office. Many of us know that the Wright Brothers invented the airplane but most of us are deliberately eluded of the fact that the motor and the propeller required to fly the airplane were invented by African Americans. It was also an African American that performed the first open heart surgery, made advancements on the light-bulb, invented the method used for blood banks around the world etc… These significant contributions are especially miraculous considering they were done under such racially oppressive conditions and so relatively shortly after slavery. It was even an African American that invented the cell phone; an invention that has impacted the entire world and millions of people. What is more, the premise that there exists an innate proclivity for divisiveness among African Americans is also totally inaccurate. This premise is inconsistent with the true history of African Americans. While perhaps difficult to believe, Black unity (Umoja) was historically, the cornerstone of the African American community and a crucial factor in the survival of Black America for more than four-hundred years of White racial oppression. It is credited for the success of the Underground Railroad system that secretly led to the escape of hundreds of African slaves to the North. Black unity and cohesion also contributed to the survival of millions of African Americans not only during slavery, but also during the aftermath of brutal Jim-Crow era lynching and through the financially crippling years of the United States’ great depression era. Black unity was the most significant factor in the success of the 1960's civil right movement. . This positive narrative of Africans Americans is a factual one but it is also one that is deliberately never heard neither within America’s educational system nor within its media. In fact their common portrayal of African Americans is deploringly contradictive of what has been presented here. Within the American society African Americans are most often depicted as the race and or group that can’t get it together, being intellectually inferior, more prone to crime, as having health disparities and diseases and as being societal burdens that have contributed very little if anything at all to the American way of life. Although sadly many Blacks themselves have come to accept these given negative assessments of them, they are however harmfully untrue. Despite what is most often presented in the U.S. media, most crimes are not being committed by Black males and nor are Black women the largest recipients of welfare and affirmative actions. (White women are) Also regardless of the prominent showings of Black athletes that marry white women, most Black men in the United States do love, prefer and most often marries Black women. In addition the down low gay life style is not highest among Black males and nor are Black women more prone to possessing the most abrasive and rudest attitudes among their gender. Furthermore, the belief that Blacks don’t enjoy reading is also totally fallacious, because Black readership is at its all time highest. For never before have there been more published African Americ

My beliefs are: -No war -Have a good defense in case we REALLY need war -I care a LOT about the environment -We need to have strict control on emissions (we have the technology to do so) -I believe people should do whatever they want as long as no one else gets hurt, but people can't be shooting up heroin left and right -Tax the rich -Lower taxes on the middle and lower classes (but upper class still maintains some wealth) -People should own guns, but with very strict regulation -Universal healthcare -Pro-choice -Death penalty in EXTREME cases -Legalization of marijuana (so it can be taxed, and pretty much harmless) <----- don't make this a marijuana legalization debate though -Lower class should get tax breaks and stuff, but not so much people are inclined to become lazy -More money should be put into education (a lot more, educational discipline is what separates China from everyone else) -Government should be involved with business, but not communistically -A state should be able to decide if they want gay marriage, but it should not be determined on a national level

I dont get this part of the text very good, help me please? can anyone make a summery for me for the paragraph below, i dont get it. thnx What is to be done? Where do the solutions lie? Answers to these questions are not easy to find. Structural change can, of course, come through revolution or reform or revolutionary reforms or reforms that are slow and unsteady. Whatever strategic package of means and ends for planned structural change a nation may adopt, education is an inescapable necessity for the inclusion of the excluded, in all cases and places, in all stages and circumstances: first, for the ideological re-orientation of all classes and the masses; and then for the education and re-socialization of the people to learn to build and participate in political and economic institutions and to navigate the new culture of technology. ‘‘Education’’ generally connotes ‘‘formal education’’ provided through schools, colleges, and universities. While formal education – ultimately – contributes to both the modernization and democratization of societies, its effects on poverty reduction are indirect, diffused, and distant. For poverty reduction now, priority must be given to adult education, which in developing countries will most often include adult literacy. This is so because planned change for poverty reduction is merely for children; it is for adult parents (and grandparents) living in poverty who are already ‘‘in’’ the world in all its spheres – political, economic, cultural, and technological. Such people are excluded from participation in these structures and spheres; they do not have the requisite knowledge or socialization to participate in them even if they were offered the opportunity to do so (Bhola 1994, 1997). We must not write off a billion or more men and women living in poverty and keep them from their rendezvous with their destinies for decades to come 242 H.S. Bhola while we wait for their schooled children to emerge from school and take their places in families and communities. The poor are also knowledge-poor and must be provided with the knowledge, attitudes, and performance skills they need now. Adult education must not, of course, be a ’’single shot’’ affair, but must be conceptualized as lifelong adult education that meets all the adults’ educational needs as they arise over the course of their lives. Elsewhere I have suggested that to put adult education to work to serve the poor in poverty reduction and ultimately to achieve the total eradication of poverty, we need a new definition of the scope of adult education, one that includes men and women, farmers and workers at the community level, planners and policy-makers in all the national systems of education, and the intelligentsia of the world. To deliver education to these adults at all levels – from the local to the global – we need a new definition of the role of adult educators that encompasses both the academic and the activist. Finally, these adult educators must be organized in a system that is both comprehensive and commensurate with the new needs of adult education for poverty eradication for all and for good (Bhola 1989, 1998). It is noteworthy that countries with commitments to planned social change on behalf of the poor and the excluded have declared adult literacy campaigns as ways of mobilizing the masses and encouraging their participation in the new political order they are seeking to establish (Bhola 1984). The United Nations Literacy Decade should now play that part on the world stage (UN 2002c; UNESCO 2003). thnx

How long to you think the rich are going to float the bill before they leave the US with their money? Here is a list of companies that have already relocated. Everyday the list grows. Who will pay for the underprivileged when all we are is peasants waiting for the bread line to open.

Choosing the right degree program to land a high level English teaching job in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.? Hello Everyone, I did a search and didn't find the info I was seeking so I decided to post this question to pick your brains. I apologize in advance for the long email and also thank you for your responses (the constructive ones.) I love expat life and have decided to build a career in the TESOL field. I've therefore decided to pursue my Master's degree while working in South Korea (currently in my first year in Korea.) My current goal is to become well qualitfied for a position in the UAE. My questions are these: 1- Does my degree have to be from an English speaking country? I'm a U.S citizen with a BA in Mass Communications from a U.S university so would it matter to the employers if I earned my Master's degree from a university in Korea? I'm considering studying in Korea because it would be more convenient for me as I'll be here for a few years. Of course, I'm also researching online degree programs in the U.S but it would be great if I could study in Korea. 2- Based on my research most people have Master's degree in Applied Linguistics or an MA TESOL. Just these 2 options seem limiting to me. Are they? I'd like to position myself to have options in and outside of the classroom and perhaps take some positions with NGOs, etc. Can anyone think of some other TESOL related majors that would qualify me for teacher positions int he UAE and elsewhere in the world but wouldn't necessarily limit me to the classroom forever? I'm looking at Drexel University's online program. I'm considering the Master of Science in Global and International Education program. According to the school website: " Graduates of the The M.S. in Global and International Education program will be qualified to pursue careers in higher education, ESL programs, education abroad, law firms, international education associations, accreditation agencies, local community international outreach centers, U.S. government, international development or human service agencies, non-governmental agencies, as well as act as administrators, managers, and researchers in national and international organizations, foundations, associations, and corporations. Key Program Features: •Graduates from the MS program in Global and International Education will possess skills in developing, analyzing, implementing, and evaluating new educational policies at a variety of institutions/organizations or private sector jobs by using cross-cultural perspectives in training employees and researching products. •Students will also exhibit outstanding leadership, organizational, cross-cultural, interpersonal, and advocacy skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with internal and external groups, using present and emerging communication and information technologies. Students will have in-depth knowledge regarding both public and private (non-profit and for-profit) institutions as well as small and large institutions and multi-campus institutions..." What do you think? Would this be a marketable specialization or do the schools generally want degrees that are more language oriented? Thanks again!

Can u please help me with this personal statement and give some advice on how to edit it...or u may edit it.? During my first year in college, my interest in Science was broadened. There were activities that gave me a brief introduction to the course I'm pursuing like the experiments that weconducted in our Chemistry class and the dissection of frog in our Zoology. The introduction of First Aid gave me a more brief idea on the work of a nurse and it was very useful in times especially when one of my family members needed it most. As I turned into second year college, Iwas introduced to new subjects namely Nutrition, Science Technology and Society and Health Economics which gave me a wider interest in the course that I am taking. Our class did a community service and conducted surveys in our Civic Welfare Training Service Program,and from that experience I learned that it is very heartwaming to listen and assist in the problems of other people. I am happy to provide comfort and help to the troubled and diseased ones. I usually read Science and Health related books and magazines during my free time and I'm very fond of watching educational shows like Discovery Channel And National Geographic Channel. Badminton is the sport that I play and I also go to the gym once in a while. Scrabble is my favorite board game. My household responsibilities, other than doing chores, include helping my younger brother and cousin in their studies. Additional Details Apr 11, 2006 at 12:29 pm can u pls...give me some advice regards to it so i cud edit it

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Read! Does this sound okay? =/? I'm applying to George Washington University in Washington D.C., and this is the Freshman Admissions essay question. -----If you could look over my essay and provide any constructive criticism to make it better I would greatly appreciate it! Prompt: Tell us in no more than 500 words what motivated you to apply and describe what contacts you have had with GW. We have told you about the dynamic GW classroom, campus, and city experience, now tell us how you will make use of these resources in meeting your educational goals. Educational goals have always been a top priority to me; which is why in the process of selecting a potential college, the location and opportunities available play an enormous role in my interest level of the school. George Washington University is exclusively my number one choice for exactly those reasons. Not only is it located in one of the most prominent cities in the United States, Washington D.C., but it also offers students numerous unparalleled opportunities. With my educational aspirations hopefully leading to a career in Clinical Psychology, George Washington would open so many doors unattainable elsewhere. Residing so proximal to the Smithsonian museums and research facilities would provide me limitless amounts of knowledge; while the University’s close connections with the National Institutes of Health would administer wonderful research capabilities. With the campus lying centrally in an exceptionally multicultural city, I will have the chance to observe many different aspects of society in a very personal manner. Viewing humanity in it’s most raw state, I believe, is key in understanding why we as society act and react as we do, which is why I would promptly pursue involvement in a Service Learning class through the Office of Community Service as a means of enriching my studies. The advanced technology, innovative learning environments, and superior research facilities offered by the University set it perceptively above most other institutions for higher education. The opportunity to attend George Washington University would singlehandedly enhance my educational experience, and create illimitable experiences and opportunities to better myself as not only a student, but as a member of society.

What do you think of the following article? EXTRA HELP When Special Education Goes Too Easy on Students Parents Say Schools Game System, Let Kids Graduate Without Skills By JOHN HECHINGER and DANIEL GOLDEN August 21, 2007; Page A1 GREENPORT, N.Y. -- On June 25, 2006, Michael Bredemeyer threw his tasseled cap in the air and cheered after getting his high school diploma. Two days later, his parents mailed the diploma back. [More Data on Mainstreaming] * * * Plus, read more about the challenges of integrating special-needs students, at WSJ.com/Mainstreaming. Michael, now 19 years old, has learning disabilities and finished high school at a seventh-grade reading level, despite scoring above average on IQ tests. The Bredemeyers say he passed some classes because teachers inflated his grades and accepted poor work. By awarding him a meaningless diploma, they say, school officials avoided paying for ongoing instruction. "I felt proud because he had worked so hard," says Michael's mother, Beverly, her voice breaking. "You don't want to take that away from him. But you knew it wasn't real. What's he going to do in the future? Will he be able to go to college and get a job?" The Bredemeyers represent a new voice in special education: parents disappointed not because their children are failing, but because they're passing without learning. These families complain that schools give their children an easy academic ride through regular-education classes, undermining a new era of higher expectations for the 14% of U.S. students who are in special education. Years ago, schools assumed that students with disabilities would lag behind their non-disabled peers. They often were taught in separate buildings and left out of standardized testing. But a combination of two federal laws, adopted a quarter-century apart, have made it national policy to hold almost all children with disabilities to the same academic standards as other students. The 1975 statute now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act promoted putting special-education students in mainstream classrooms. The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act said schools would be punished if disabled children don't pass the same state tests as other students. It also requires states to set standards for high-school graduation rates and meet them for all students, including those with disabilities. By some measures, the extra attention is paying off. Test scores and classroom grades of disabled students are rising, and their high-school graduation rate increased to 54% in 2004 from 42% in 1996. But critics say some of the gains have come because schools have learned to game the system. For instance, federal rules allow states to make "reasonable accommodations" to help disabled students pass tests and graduate, such as allowing extra time on exams. Some schools, say critics, are giving students too much help, for instance by guiding students to the right answers on multiple-choice tests. MAKING THE GRADE • The Issue: Some parents of students with learning disabilities say their children are graduating too easily. • The Background: Federal laws raised school standards, but left loopholes. Increasingly, special-education students get special help to pass tests. • The Problem: If schools game the system, those students move on without the skills they need. From 2000 to 2005, special-education fourth graders showed more improvement in reading and math than the general population on an important benchmark test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. But accommodations also increased. In 2005, 70% of fourth-grade special education students received some sort of accommodation while taking the math portion, up from 44% five years earlier. In reading, 63% used accommodations in 2005, up from 29% in 2000. On tests used to measure compliance with No Child Left Behind, more states are permitting students with disabilities to use calculators on arithmetic tests or have reading-comprehension tests be read aloud. Massachusetts education commissioner David Driscoll warned school administrators in February that an alarming number of special education students -- a quarter or half in some cases -- were receiving such accommodations on state exams. With unclear guidelines, "People start driving trucks through loopholes," he said in an interview. Some school districts have an informal policy against failing students with disabilities even if they miss many classes or aren't learning. "I can go into any school we represent and have somebody tell me we have to pass special education students" to avoid being blamed for not providing the right services if students fail, says Janet Horton, a Texas special-education attorney. Federal law says special-education students should receive a "free appropriate public education," but it doesn't prohibit failing them. Mardys Leeper and Carol Merrill, former teachers at West Philadelphia High School in Pennsylvania, say a special-education administrator there ordered them to pass special-education students. Ms. Leeper says she made concessions for students with disabilities, such as letting them write shorter essays or copy paragraphs she wrote onto a word processor rather than composing their own. But when those students didn't make an effort, or skipped class, both teachers say they sometimes sought to fail them -- only to have the administrator insist on passing grades. The reason they were given: Students had met the goals of their federally mandated individual education plans, IEPs, spelling out goals and services for each special-education student. "Students who weren't even participating, even trying, we couldn't fail them," says Ms. Merrill, an English teacher who retired this year. Even if they couldn't read, "I had to give them a 'D.'" The administrator couldn't be reached for comment. Brenda Taylor, head of special education for the Philadelphia school district, called the matter a "breakdown in communication." The district has no written policy against failing special-education students, she says. But rather than being "punitive" if a student performs poorly or cuts class, she says, the district prefers to revise a student's IEP. "We're not in the business of failing students," Ms. Taylor says. Only 19 states require all students to earn the same kind of diploma, according to a recent University of Minnesota survey. Some of those states let special-education students amass fewer course credits to earn the degree, the survey found. Other states give substitute certificates, in some cases called IEP diplomas, to special-education students who don't qualify for standard diplomas. Many special-education parents are happy to see their children advance through school and graduate. Reggie Felton, director of federal policy for the National School Boards Association, says special-education students learn more in regular classes even if they're given a break on assignments or grading. The federal government recently decided to triple the percentage of students allowed to take easier tests, to 3% from 1%. Some legislators have proposed exempting more students. But the rebellion against too-easy passing is growing, says Pam Wright, who with her husband has co-authored books on special education issues and operates a Virginia-based information clearinghouse for special-education parents. She estimates she now receives more than 1,000 email messages a year from parents lamenting that their children with disabilities take mainstream courses but aren't being taught as much as their classmates. Dozens of parents have contended in recent administrative appeals that their children did not deserve the diplomas they received, she says. The family of Alba Somoza, who has cerebral palsy and speaks only with the help of a computer, filed one such case. Alba drew national attention in the 1990s when her family successfully pushed to include the then-third grader in a regular classroom. Then-President Bill Clinton backed her cause, and Alba, now 23, graduated with honors from a New York City high school in 2002. Last year, Alba and her family filed an administrative case claiming her education was a sham. A school report prepared weeks before she graduated showed she had language and math skills at an elementary school level, court records show. "You cannot shunt children through -- you cannot scam them through the system," says Alba's mother, Mary. [Michael Bredemeyer] Since shortly after she graduated, New York has been paying for a special program for Alba that costs $400,000 a year -- including a full-time teacher, an aide, transportation and extensive technology. The city says it is doing so out of compassion, not legal obligation. The family is seeking to continue the public funding another year to help Alba receive enough education to work as a museum docent. The Somozas lost the administrative case, but a judge in U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled in the family's favor earlier this year and ordered another hearing. Rather than develop a program that would help Alba reach her academic goals, teachers lowered the curriculum's "level of difficulty" and removed "large and meaningful portions of its substantive content," the judge said. One teacher testified that he did most of the work on Alba's final project in 2002. New York officials say the school properly adapted the curriculum for a severely disabled student. In northern California, Jennifer McGowan, an 18-year-old who is deaf in one ear and suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities, was supposed to graduate from Vacaville Unified School District in June. She didn't get her diploma -- because her family won a court injunction to stop it. In an interview, Jennifer said she often received A or B grades for poorly completed work or, at times, when she didn't do assignments at all or show up for class. Achievement tests she took in January 2005 showed that she had the math and reading skills of an elementary-school student, according to her administrative complaint. The school district denies her grades were inflated and said she showed her proficiency by passing a high-school exit exam. John Aycock, Vacaville's superintendent, said teachers did "a great job working with Jennifer." Jennifer says she failed the exit exam several times despite intensive preparation. "They just wanted to pass me and let me fly by," she says. The school system says it's not unusual to make several attempts to pass. At the Mercer Island school district in Washington state, the family of a girl with severe learning disabilities complains that, instead of the intense instruction she needed to master reading and math in eighth and ninth grades, teachers showered her with accommodations: a peer note-taker, a peer to read materials to her, oral exams, reduced assignments and a calculator on math tests. At an administrative hearing, the family -- whose names are not disclosed in the court papers -- sought to force the school system to pay for her private schooling. Noting her strong A and B grades, the district successfully argued that accommodations were helping her learn. In U.S. District Court in Seattle, a judge hearing an appeal of the case disagreed last year, saying the system improperly relied on accommodations rather than instruction, and has returned the case to a hearing officer to determine financial relief for the family. Boxes of school correspondence and Michael Bredemeyer's old tests and assignments line the hallways of his family's weather-beaten saltbox house in Orient, N.Y., on Long Island's North Fork. Michael's parents are demanding public funding for more services until age 21, to which students are entitled unless they graduate, so he can improve his academic skills for college. John Bredemeyer, a county public-health inspector, and his wife, Beverly, had high hopes for Michael, who has a strong work ethic and a knack for repairing machines. But once he entered public middle school in nearby Greenport, his parents worried that teachers were letting him skate through classes and tests. Michael, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities including dyslexia, says in some classes he "definitely earned" a passing grade, but others were "borderline." He took regular classes except for one period a day. "A little more one-on-one" instruction would have helped, he says. On state achievement exams, Michael's IEP permitted him extra time, simplified instructions and guidance from a teacher to slow him down if he rushed through answers. But when he completed the eighth-grade math test, his special-education teacher also took him to the resource room and directed him to redo problems he had answered incorrectly. According to a memo from Greenport Superintendent Charles Kozora, the teacher "exceeded the intent" of Michael's accommodations, boosting his score. The state investigated and invalidated Michael's test. [Revolt] Mr. Kozora said the school system had only two cases of testing irregularities in six years, few conflicts with parents over special education and "many successes" among students with disabilities. The district says achievement, and not cost, dictates its decisions on graduating students. When Michael was a junior at Greenport High, his chemistry teacher passed him with the minimum grade of 65, even though he says he spent much of the class doodling and playing solitaire on his laptop. Checking his assignments and tests, his parents couldn't understand how he could be passing. In a letter, the school principal acknowledged that the final grade was a "miscalculation" and should have been 56.6, or an F. The school offered to let him make up his lost credits by volunteering in the town library. When his parents balked, he was instead placed in courses in sociology and psychology. On one psychology pop quiz, five of Michael's seven answers were marked wrong, but a failing grade was crossed out on the paper and a passing score of 65 was substituted. The school district declined comment. For a senior English assignment, he received an A for one untitled paragraph. "I believe competition today has changed dramatically," he wrote. "Back in the day, sports was some of the only sports that had competition. Today, everyone wants to compete and only be successful. School work, school sports, major league sports, all involve high amounts of success and competition. Competition today has become very extreme." His English teacher, Michael Connolly, said he didn't remember the assignment and had no comment on the grade. On standardized tests, Michael had mixed results: On the SATs, which have a 200 to 800 scale, Michael received 330 and then 370 in two tries on the reading test, in the bottom 10% of all students nationally. On math, he scored 460 both times. He failed two state exams and passed five others. His school grades put him in the bottom one-third of his class. A month before graduation, the Bredemeyers debated whether he should accept the degree. "I wanted to have it," Michael says. "Get it and forget it." On graduation day, a school band played "Pomp and Circumstance." Michael's parents, his sister, his grandmother, aunts and uncles watched as he walked up to the podium and a school official handed him a purple diploma case with his name etched in gold letters. Michael says he knew his parents might not let him keep it. "I had a feeling they'd do something like that," he said, shrugging. "I'll eventually get it back, one of these days, months, years." This summer, Michael has been mowing lawns and picking up trash at a state park for $9 an hour. This fall, he plans to enter his second year at Suffolk County Community College, which does not require a high-school diploma. Last semester at Suffolk, he received a D-plus in freshman composition, D's in statistics and Western Civilization and an F in the history of rock 'n' roll.

What you’ll get from a President Giuliani.? Presidential Commitments What you’ll get from a President Giuliani. By Rudy Giuliani I am making 12 Commitments to the American People. They are intended to lift our vision from the rearview mirror to the road ahead. If I am elected president, I want to be held accountable for the progress we make as a nation. 1) I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us. Winning the terrorists’ war on us is the greatest responsibility of the 9/11 Generation. We need to continue taking the fight to the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists by increasing the size, strength, and support of our military — beginning with ten new Army combat brigades. 2) I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders and identify every non-citizen in our nation. We can end illegal immigration with tough but realistic laws that put security first. We need to secure the border with a physical fence and a technological fence. We need to require a tamper-proof I.D. card for all non-citizens coming into the United States and tracking their entry and exit. And we need to encourage Americanization by requiring new citizens to read, write, and speak English. 3) I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending. Over the next two presidential terms, 42 percent of the federal civilian workforce is due to retire. We should only hire back half, replacing non-essential workers with technology. I’ll ask agency heads to identify annual budget cuts of 5 to 20 percent. With entitlement costs scheduled to explode, we need fiscal discipline to avoid passing an unsupportable burden on to the next generation. 4) I will cut taxes and reform the tax code. Pro-growth policies lead to broader prosperity. The next president needs to simplify the tax code and keep taxes low — including the personal income tax, the capital-gains tax and the corporate tax. And we can eliminate double taxation and protect family businesses by giving the Death Tax the death penalty. 5) I will impose accountability on Washington. We need to restore Americans’ faith that government can work again. That’s why we’ll implement the first constant measurement of government effectiveness, known as “FedStat,” and put the results online so the public can hold agencies accountable. 6) I will lead America towards energy independence. We must decrease America’s dangerous dependence on foreign oil. We can meet this challenge through diversification of our energy portfolio, innovation, and conservation. We must increase public and private investment in nuclear power, clean coal, and alternative-energy sources across the board. America must lead the world in energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, commercially viable innovation, including wind, solar, geo-thermal, ethanol, and biofuel technologies. 7) I will give Americans more control over their health care with affordable and portable free-market solutions. We can improve the quality of health care while decreasing costs through increased competition. Solutions can include reforming the tax treatment of health care, expanding portable health-savings accounts, encouraging state-by-state innovations, and reforming the legal system. 8) I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children. We need to take advantage of the common ground in America to reduce abortions by increasing adoptions and assuring that individual choice is well informed. We need to measure our progress toward these goals. We need to reduce the high costs of adoption. And we need to protect our children against sexual predators and online pornography. 9) I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges. America must reform its legal system. We need to eliminate nuisance lawsuits through “loser-pays” provisions. Tort reform can help us reduce costs passed on to the consumer, such as higher insurance premiums. Activist judges threaten to expand the power of the courts beyond the bounds established by the Constitution; we must reassert the proper balance. 10) I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters. Homeland security and national security are now inseparable. We need to ensure that local first responders are trained to meet natural disasters as well as terrorist attacks. We must improve information-sharing between local, state, and federal authorities. And we need to repair vulnerable infrastructure to minimize the impact of terrorist attacks and natural disasters. 11) I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents. Education reform is a civil-rights struggle and the key to improving America’s competitiveness in the global economy. We need to empower parents and children by expanding school choice. We need to promote math and science, while ending the digital divide. 12) I will expand America's involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world. We need to strengthen our country by engaging aggressively the global economy. The mission of the State Department needs to be focused on acting first and foremost as an advocate for America. Fostering trade and educational and cultural exchange will promote the expansion of freedom. These 12 Commitments offer an action plan to focus America on the future. Over the course of this campaign, I’m going to present each policy in greater detail. And when we get to Washington, we’re going to put these ideas into action. Guided by these 12 Commitments, we will hand our nation over to the next generation far better than it was handed to us.

What do u think of my Research? I know it's too long but plz read it if u can and tell me what do u think of it and how much do u rate it from 1 - 100? Thank you so so MUCH!! The American Educational Reform in the 1800s American reform movements in the early to mid 1800's strived at improving our developing society. America was growing larger, and with the expanding population, many new ideas sprang up. Conflicting opinions between the people of the United States caused the emergence of an Age of Reform, where people tried to change things such as the educational system and women rights. These movements were the result of our nation's self-determination and interest in improving the society we live in. Education is really important to every country and every civilization and it's noticeable that "Education is the transmission of civilization." (Ariel and Will Durant, The Lessons of History, 1968) Education reform means to make education better by removing faults and defects. True educators are always thinking of more effective ways to enhance and democratize the way children learn. With the continuous change of growing population, economics, culture, family, and global communication, there has to be continuous educational reforms to keep the society abreast with these changes. Home education was so common in America that most children knew how to read before they entered school. As Ralph Walker has pointed out, "Children were often taught to read at home before they were subjected to the rigours of school. In middle-class families, where the mother would be expected to be literate, this was considered part of her duties." (Ralph Walker, Old Readers: In Early American Life, October, 1980, p. 54.) In the early 1800’s education in America grew and developed rapidly, largely because of the works of three very important men: Noah Webster, William McGuffey, and Horace Mann. These three men were catalysts for the growth of education throughout the nineteenth century, and without them the large strides America took during this time would not have occurred. These great men all shared one goal: to educate the youth of America as well as possible. The first American schools opened during the colonial era. As the colonies began to develop, many began to institute mandatory education schemes. In 1642 the Massachusetts Bay Colony made "proper" education compulsory. Similar statutes were adopted in other colonies in the 1640s and 1650s. Virtually all of the schools opened as a result were private. The nation's first institution of higher learning was Harvard University, opened in 1636. Most of the universities which opened between 1640 and 1750 form the contemporary Ivy League, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, the University of Pennsylvania, and several others. After the American Revolution, the new national government passed the Land Ordinance of 1785, which set aside a portion of every township in the unincorporated territories of the United States for use in education. Public education in Massachusetts began when Horace Mann left his post as Senate president and became Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education in 1837. Mann did many things, but his main legacy was to convince people that public education was a public good that should be publicly funded. As a result, Massachusetts had the first system of public schools in the country. By 1860 the fruits of these efforts were impressive. The states were generally committed to providing free elementary education. For students who wished more than a grammar school education, there were 300 public high schools in the whole country, and almost 100 of these were in massachusetts. There were also about 6000 private academies, many of which charged only a small tuition to poor children. Colleges and universities were still small, few had over 100 students and ill equipped, but their numbers had increased since colonial times. Just as every instant city needed a newspaper and hotel, so it needed what was called a college. Julian Sturtevant, founder of Illinios College in 1830, said, "It was generally believed that one of the surest ways to promote the growth of a young city was to make it the seat of a college." (A History of the United States, p. 281) So before the Civil War 516 colleges were founded, many were little better and the private academies, but only 104 survived to the 1900s. The Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890 provided federal financial support to state universities. Many land-grant colleges and state universities were established through gifts of federal land to the states for the support of higher education. Financial support was extended to the universities and this in turn led to increased research. The Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 sparked the growth of state institutions offering curricula in agriculture and the mechanical arts. The act created a variety of institutional arrangements such as A & M colleges, and even allowed some private colleges to provide the new curriculum. Women have been equally discriminated against in American schools. Even in coeducational schools, practically no encouragement was given to the girls. For countless centuries, the role of the American female was in the home. Domestic responsibilities such as devoting time for the home, preparing meals, and caring for the family rested in the hands of females. Mothers taught their daughters' responsibilities in the home to prepare them for their future. In colonial days girls were taught the household arts but were not expected to learn to read and write. People thought that "book learning" would put an undue stress on their delicate minds and bodies. Progress came slowly and step by step. Women's education and career options, especially for the middle and upper classes, were aided by the founding of academies and seminaries for girls. In Massachusetts girls began to attend summer sessions of the public grammar schools in the late 1700s. "In 1821, Emma Willard established the Troy Female Seminary in New York, the first endowed educational institution for women in the United States." (Education, p, 3) In 1823, Catharine Beecher opened the Hartford Female Seminary and later founded seminaries in Cincinnati and Milwaukee. In 1837, Mary Lyon established the Mount Holyoke Seminary with a curriculum that emphasized domesticity, piety, and teaching. Mount Holyoke enrolled girls from both wealthy and poor families; it was the first institution to challenge class discrimination. By 1840 the efforts of reformers where showing results, and nearly all New England women could read and write. Finally in 1836 (200 years after Harvard College was founded for men) Wesleyan College in Georgia was chartered as the first college for woman. As years rolled by "women protested that they too should have a right to learn and that it is unfair that men could go to college and they can't." (Westward Expantion 1800-1880, Article, Pg 3) A new status for woman was "their opportunity for an adequated education and the right to speak out in public, would mean a richer life for all." (History of the United State, p.284) The rights of women seemed essential to a better America. "The brave reforming women that helped in education are our founding mothers of women education today." (Westward Expantion 1800-1880, Article, Pg 3) Because of racial discrimination, African Americans not only struggled to acquire an education but had to combat stereotypes concerning what type of education was most suitable for them. The 1800s witnessed important changes in their education. The education of blacks remained very low until President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The Civil War and Reconstruction period had a profound effect on the education of blacks in the South. The Thirteenth Amendment ended slavery and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments granted equal rights to freed slaves. Many sought to take advantage of their new freedoms, especially the opportunity to acquire an education. The reconstruction era witnessed major advances in segregated education for African Americans. Before the Civil War, education for blacks was practically non-existent in the South, and several southern states had laws against teaching slaves to read and write. Schools in the North were segregated. African American ingenuity and perseverance produced some notable exceptions. For instance, Milla Granson of Natchez, Mississippi, a slave who had learned to read and write from her master's children, operated a school late at night when her master slept and slaves had finished working in the fields. During the Civil War, both African American and white teachers began the arduous but rewarding task of educating southern blacks. Indeed, freedmen's education began in army camps. Many brave teachers such as "Mary S. Peake began teaching freed slaves at a Fort Virginia School in 1861. Susie King Taylor, a former slave who learned to read and write, taught black soldiers in the army." (African Americans: Freed People, p. 5) After the war, some white northern women used their education by moving south to teach the freed slaves. Laura Town was the first to do so; in 1862, she established the Penn School on the South Carolina Sea Islands, which she ran for forty years. The African American educator Charlotte Forten Grimke joined her. In her diary, Forten remarked "I never before saw children so eager to learn." Such was the case with most black children throughout the South. The number of black teachers increased as more African Americans became educated. The literacy rate was around 5% in the 1860s rose to 40% in 1890, but when many wealthy American men and woman, mostly from the North gave millions of dollars to help educate black people, the literacy rate by 1910 was at 70%. John D. Rockefeller an American industrialist and philanthropist, for example, "had contributed over $50 million, most of it to train more teachers for black schools." (History of the United States, p. 449) The South spent less money than other parts of the country on education of all kinds. And blacks there had to attend separate and inferior schools. But many black leaders did not agree about this situation. In 1881, an American educator, author and leader of the African American community, Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. There he trained thousands of blacks to be better farmers and mechanics, to make a good living, and to help build their communities. He did not want blacks to spend their efforts learning history, literature, foreign languages, science, and mathematics. Instead, he said that they should train quickly for jobs, and mostly for jobs they could do with their hands. Many who admired Booker T. Washington still did not agree with him because they did not want to wait for their rights. Twenty five years after Washington started his Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a group met at Niagara Falls. Their black leader was W. E. B. Du Bois. He was born in Massachusetts after the Civil War, he studied at the University of Berlin in Germany and then received a Ph.D.degree from Harvard University in 1895. "He was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard, was a professor at AtlantaUniversity and the leading black intellectual of his time." (Evitts,William. The Niagara Movement, p. 1) In 1905 the declaration by Du Bois's Niagara Movement expressed outrage. It demanded for blacks all their human rights, all their rights as Americans, and at once. It opposed all laws and all customs that treated blacks as if they were different from other people. And of course, it demanded the right to vote. As the United States entered the twentieth century, it had adopted a framework of publicly supported elementary and secondary schools and had seen a significant increase in the number of colleges and universities nationwide. The advancement in technology and learning methods has brought about a lot of change for the better in the public education. The American public school has always been looked upon as a system that inculcates the ideals of equality and freedom in the individual. It has changed historically according to the upheavals in the society.

What do you think of this? It's a little lengthy, but it won't kill you to read it... I received a letter this week from a young Muslim man sending a dire warning to Americans. Yeah, I was as surprised as you are! He sought me out as someone who would actually listen because of my writings. What he said rang true... and terrifying. He wrote of being raised in Islamic ideology, and the subtle, sinister methods that go beyond bombings and murder. He states it perfectly, and should be heeded by wise freedom-lovers. It bears repeating... a LOT of repeating. His own words are best, so read for yourself: "... I was part of the frightening "system" until I broke away. The conspiracy is more subtle and pervasive than even the most paranoid among you can fathom... All this bin Laden, Taliban and al Qaeda story is the greatest diversionary tactic in history. The real invasion is more insidious, serious and much further along then you can possibly imagine. And it is your own liberal halves that are playing such a vital role in that. I'm talking about the silent invasion of your universities by our people. Open any leading American university's website and look at the list of professors and graduate students, you will see a plethora of muslim names. These are people that are in America, taking advantage of American know-how, and waiting to go back to their own countries to strengthen them. "For the past century, your strength has been your lead in technology, but can you maintain that in the face of the fact the MAJORITY of doctoral students in your universities' technological programs are foreigners?... And it's not just us Muslims who are invading your universities. The greatest invasion is by Chinese and Indians, but there is a healthy percentage of Pakistanis, Egyptians, Turks, Indonesians and Arabs. "I myself am a doctoral student... like the rest of the horde, I was a cog in the wheel. It is something that is not actively taught or talked about. It is like a subliminal message that is hammered into you. "Can you imagine the damage that will be done if suddenly half of your university brainpower leaves?...But can you imagine the damage if half of that brain power goes to Islamic countries?... Every year thousands of young (muslims) leave for the US and Europe where they get graduate degrees in engineering and the sciences. Your own people are studying dancing, music, theatre, and art; all the while the knowledge that has made you powerful is slipping through your fingers. "Wake up!... You can't let (Muslim) ideology become the dominant one in the world. Already the nordic races are disappearing...It's the same in the US. You are being invaded by illegal immigrants, diluting your country to the point of fracture. Muslims are multiplying like rabbits while you are busy in family planning and aborting the babies that CAN be born. Do you think any amount of technological superiority will be able to guarantee your supremacy in the face of 1-to-10 numerical inferiority? How will you maintain your identity as a nation when English is replaced by Spanish as the national language? Already there are school systems in the southern states that are teaching pupils in Spanish. Do your people not see this as a loss of national identity? "What are your people doing about this? I'll tell you what. After 9/11, background checks were instituted for foreign students coming into the US. Because of this foreign student applications dropped... This instigated a crisis among universities, regents started writing congress and the senate telling them that it is an unacceptable situation. You can't find suitable graduate researchers out of 300 million people? You people need to shape up and start taking things seriously. Your secretary of state Colin Powell announced in Pakistan last year that the US would do everything to facilitate Pakistani students in the US. Stop bending over backwards and being so apologetic just for trying to protect yourselves from crazed fanatics." Well well well. So now the rest of the world is recognizing us as a country apologizing for its own existence. This young man isn't someone who can be labeled by our Politically Castrated press as a "racist white American," thereby disarming him and leaving him impotent. He has not been taught in America's education system to fear such an accusation as we in America have been taught. He simply states the truth...an odd concept in the age of wretched liberal control. His caveat is one that wise patriots have been trumpeting for some time now, but irrational liberals have disarmed, disabled, and disavowed. Read on: "Take a look at this. It lists famous mathematicians by country. France is the highest with 211, England is second with 204, both countries are 20% the size of the US by population. This is because the US entered the game late. But entered it well. You had a good educational base and capitalized on it. "Now I will come to my point. If the US could pull off this coup in the latter half of the 20th (even with such an apparently glaring discrepancy compared to France and England), then what is to stop someone else from pulling off the same coup in the latter half of the 21st?" I couldn't have said it better myself. This man's name should be on this article for writing it, and it would be too... if he didn't deeply fear Muslim reprisals. Even he is not safe from radical irrational rage. Since when did defense become an evil? Since when do righteous people have to justify themselves for rejecting the wicked? We have had many wise, wonderful leaders... when exactly did we forget and lose our vigilance? This is our land, and by God--yes, by Him!--it is up to us to defend her and keep the evil doer out. Closing our borders is an act that isn't political--it's critical! Our duty to ourselves, to posterity, and to mankind, call on us by every motive which is sacred or honorable, to watch over the safety of our beloved country...--Thomas Jefferson Logic, reason, truth... why is it that we're having to be taught that by foreigners? Keep the faith, bros, and in all things courage. By Resa LaRu Kirkland Well Tom, I didn't write it first of all, and second, what are you supposed to call people from other countries. Last time I checked, foriegner was not a bad word. You must be one of those clowns who think we should have open borders, but at the same time don't want globalization because of what the corporations do to developing countries. You can't have it both ways. I have no problem with immigration, but to have the doors open with no control over who comes in and out is stupid. Jim, what the hell are you talikng about? I don't care what you and shiraz talk about in you emails. If you answer the questions, shouldn't it at least have something to do with the question. You are a fool. jason d, you are racist, pure and simple. FYI, I'm not jewish, and I wish you were here to try to slap somebody, cause I'd put you in your place real quick, bigot.

This is not a movie about Bush vs. Kerry or Republicans vs. Democrats. Its about our current voting system and exposing a multitude of problems with that system as demonstrated in the 2004 election. We are told "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" and this documentary exposes the corruption, mistruths, and shameful negligence and mishandling of these "VOTES" in a way that cannot be denied nor ignored - unless you don't watch it for yourself. 73 out of 78 people found this review helpful.

The answer is yes, yes, yes!!! Kudos to Bev Harris who has dedicated years to exposing the corruption surrounding electronic voting. Get this.

This wonderful documentary proves my point that we have the best democracy that money can buy, along with our judicial system. This film is more frightening than any horror film I've seen, because THIS IS REAL! And this is movie biased? Not at all. It's an absolute eye opener that shows that your vote really doesn't count; and make sure you watch the deleted scenes(another 33 minutes of fantastic footage). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Member Reviews hawk5391 58% Similar To You hawk5391's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Even though I also watched the original slasher classic Black Christmas, this was the scariest movie I saw over the Christmas break. Although the filmmakers obviously have every reason to sensationalize potential problems with electronic voting systems ("good news is no news," right?), the implications here are frightening. Not only did Bev Harris (founder of a non-partisan watchdog group) find voting machine code unprotected on the internet, she was able to successfully hack it and prove that results could be manipulated (you can watch this being done in a matter of seconds in this film). The lack of oversight of the companies who control the majority of electronic voting is astounding, almost as bad as the sloppy manner in which our government oversees the elections themselves. 10 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful LR 572736 43% Similar To You LR 572736's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Politics in America is scarey enough, but when you see what is going on with our elections system, you will just go through the roof. We have hoped through the last few centuries that a government of the people, by the people and for the people would not parish from the face of the earth, and that America would be its shining example. After viewing this flick, you will realize just how tarnished our example has become. We have realized in the past decades, that money rules, and it just feels like our votes don't count, only the money that backs our politicians. Only the corporations and special interests have access to the politicians these days, not the people that vote. This picture goes a long way to explaining how that happens. After realizing the truths in this documentary, I feel even more helpless and useless to change a corrupt government by my vote. Did my vote get counted? How would I even know? The facts put forth in this program are just about incredible, but you come away realizing their powerful credibility. I wondered why their hasn't been criminal prosecution of the election fraud that is running rampant in our country today? Where are prosecuters? Why aren't elections officials who ignore our right to have our votes counted, recounter and certified being placed on trial for crimes against the electorate? You owe it to yourself and your country to see this documentary long before the next election. Don't miss this one! 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is the story of the creation of the group and webpage BlackBoxVoting.com Having found the Diebold's source code, a code that not even the President of the United States can see, Bev Harris takes the code to an expert. What is revealed causes Harris to criss cross America, to prove the fact that Diebold had literally hijacked democracy. Although it's possible, it's difficult to believe that anyone can think that the 2004 Presidential Election wasn't rigged after viewing this film. A 'must see' for every American. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Ben5765 35% Similar To You Ben5765's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This film is all about voting machines and how votes are tabulated. It makes mincemeat of the Diebold Corporation, manufacturer of a large percentage of the electronic voting machines used in the United States. It reveals Diebold officials making lie after lie about the security of their machines. The makers of the film meticulously document how, using Diebold's machines and data cards, someone with just a basic understanding of the technology involved (including, certainly, any Diebold employee) could rig the vote count, on one machine or on thousands of them, with absolutely no record that the rigging was ever done. The film also reveals how Diebold's chief executive officer was (and maybe still is) a large contributor to the Republican Party. He once wrote a letter stating that he would "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election for George W. Bush. The film later shows how his company managed to persuade Cuyahoga County, Ohio (where Cleveland is) to buy its machines. Maybe there is nothing fishy going on there, but appearances matter! Lest the film be seen as partisan, it features, among others, a Republican office-seeker from Louisiana who, after losing her race, went to view a demonstration of the machines that the voters used. As part of the demonstration she pressed the button next to her name, and the machine registered a vote for her opponent. Hmmm. She was understandably troubled. Moreover, the film points out that in many parts of the country it is in fact the local Republican Party that is wary of electronic voting machines, not the Democrats. Hacking Democracy also reveals problems with punch card voting systems--problems that dwarf the famous "hanging chad" problem of the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. The film's message is distressing, but it is one all American citizens should hear and see. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Also a testament to how one regular person can make a difference, this documentary is very well done. Youll hate what you learn. 6 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

It is because their kind of ignorance that this movie is a 5 star and a must for every single human being to watch and learn. There is no excuse for any voting system to be too technical, too complex, too secret that we cannot prove what the votes were years from when the votes were taken. Not even 50 years, not even 100 years, not even 1000 years, not ever. For anyone to suggest that the electronic voting system is not possible to understand and to do a documentary for by a handful of heroic citizens, it is an insult to this country and democracy. Let these be the commandments of election: 1) No voting methods should be more complicated than what pen/pencil can do on a ballot. 2) Vote handling in any election process should be transparent to the public no matter when, why, how, what, who. 3) Only 100% accuracy should be accepted. Anything less then 100% should be recounted no matter how many times, how long it takes, and how much it cost to be 100% accurate. 4) Without 100% accuracy, election cannot be concluded. Another election should be conducted immediately without further delay. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

What do you think about my essay? Impacts of the French Revolution on France The French Revolution marks a crucial phase in the creation of the modern world. Politically: The Revolution literally threw off the monarchy, transformed government and society and established the First Republic. In doing so, the French beheaded their king, Louis XVI, precipitating the French Revolutionary Wars. The revolutions proclamations, embodied in the document "Declaration of the Rights of Man" threatened every other monarchy in Europe. This document had been fashioned from the beliefs of two political philosophers, Montesquieu and Rousseau. Republican governments are representative, wherein they are always ruling by the consent of the governed, whereas the kings and nobles of 18th century Europe were faced with overthrow and murder. One of the most important contributions of the French Revolution was to make revolution part of the world’s political tradition. The French Revolution continued to provide instruction for revolutionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries, as people in Europe and around the world sought to realize their different versions of freedom. Overthrowing the monarchy and setting up the people's regime, with equality for all, turned everything topsy-turvy in France - but it gave them the opportunity to make a clean start. The outside world watched with interest as the events in France unfolded, and in many cases provided the spark that set off other fights for independence and for overturning the monarchy. France descended into chaos and paranoia, which eventually gave way to the September Massacres, the rise of Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety and the Reign of Terror. The Reign of Terror came at the end of the French Revolution. Robespierre, a French Jacobin, headed it and for about 2 years Robespierre was the most powerful man in France. Louis XVI had already been executed by the National Convention. Anyone who opposed Robespierre’s ideology was either executed or imprisoned. Some 40,000 people would be executed by the guillotine and another 100,000 would be imprisoned. Within a year however, Robespierre himself was sent to the guillotine himself. France was in need of a hero. Napoleon Bonaparte successfully delivered France from its enemies and protected the nation from further attacks. He gained great popularity from this, and was eventually able to use his popularity to seize power. As Napoleon took control, he depicted himself as a new Charlemagne that would restore France to greatness, this helped to spread nationalism. Socially: Socially the revolution was also important. Clearly society in France would never be the same. The Revolution brought an end to privileges and the class system. The Declaration of the Rights of Man stated: All men are created equal, natural rights of liberty, security, property, and resistance to oppression were given to all citizens. Everybody came under the same law and taxation. Promotion became open to talent and citizens were equal before the law. Merit was gained by talent. This was never more true than during the First Empire, when Napoleonic Code was written and enforced in France. In fact, the Code Napoleon still exists as part of the legal structure of several European nations today. There are a great number of things directly attributed to Napoleon, as the public water, sanitation (sewage system) and public education for the masses. Napoleon did reform the legal system and the educational system but France did not have a democratic system of government. The Revolution did not succeed in establishing the national school system it envisioned, but it did found some of France’s elite educational institutions that have produced some of that nation’s greatest leaders. The Revolution won the public a number of other victories, both tangible and intangible. No French ruler after the Revolution dared to reverse the property and rights acquisitions gained during the Revolution. The breakdown of church and feudal contracts freed people from tithes and other incurred fees. Citizens who had purchased church land were allowed to keep it. The new tax system remained devoid of the influence of privilege, so that every man paid his share according to personal wealth. France became more focused on liberty, equality, and fraternity allowing them to be more unified plus there were fewer taxes and people could make a living. That’s not to say that all was well: French industry struggled for years after the Revolution to regain a foothold in such a drastically different environment. On the whole, however, the French people had seen the impact they could have over their government, and that liberating, inspiring spirit was unlikely ever again to be suppressed. As for economic development, the Revolution probably hurt more than it helped. In this respect there was change on several levels. For one thing, the new government had to command revenues in a sensible fashion and keep the nation solvent otherwise chaos would result. But France’s conquests themselves paid dividends in hard currency, as well as many of Europe’s greatest art treasures. Under Napoleon the Bank of France was established and eventually the economy took form. In the long term, the liberation of the economy from royal controls, the standardization of weights and measures, and the development of a uniform civil law code helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution. The French Revolution helped to intensify the Industrial Revolution and this could only have been accomplished in the absence of monarchy, and certainly not because of it. France grew stronger and faster under its successive republics because the freedoms evident in a republic encourage investment in new technology and excite competition, and therefore innovation. The Bourgeoisie economically benefited the most from the Revolution. Firstly they secured the abolition of tax injustices within the Ancien Regime. Tax Privileges were abolished, so were corrupt taxing methods, local and provincial tolls, taxes on legal and market transactions, indirect taxes on goods and the harsh system of tax supervision which hampered the growth of industry and commerce. The Revolution also established a uniform standard of weights and measures. This was the metric system. The Government also helped establish protective tariffs for French industries. The Revolution continued the process of emancipating the serfs and creating peasant proprietors. France emerged as having the richest peasants in Europe. Their land gains gave them wealth and power. Therefore the peasants became conservatives in French Politics. The French revolution caused many things to change around France. Although some effects were good, not all were. Also, the way the French dealt with their problem may not have been the best way. If the French aren’t happy with something, right away they riot and explode. Although they definitely had good reason for just blowing up, maybe if they would’ve dealt with it differently, the outcome would’ve been better for them, now and then. The French Revolution was thus a battle to achieve equality and remove oppression—concerns far more deep-seated and universal than the immediate economic turbulence France was experiencing at the time.

Inspired by Saul Alinsky, FCC 'Diversity' Chief - Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"? Inspired by Saul Alinsky, FCC 'Diversity' Chief Calls for ‘Confrontational Movement’ to Give Public Broadcasting Dominant Role in Communications Wednesday, August 26, 2009 By Matt Cover Federal Communications Commission headquarters in Washington, D.C. (Photo courtesy of FCC) (CNSNews.com) – Mark Lloyd, chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), called for a “confrontational movement” to combat what he claimed was control of the media by international corporations and to re-establish the regulatory power of government through robust public broadcasting and a more powerful FCC. Lloyd expressed his regulatory call to arms in his 2006 book, “Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America” (University of Illinois Press). In the book, Lloyd also said that public broadcasting should be funded through new license fees charged to the nation’s private radio and television broadcasters, and that new regulatory fees should be used to fund eight new regional FCC offices. These offices would be responsible for monitoring political advertising and commentary, children’s educational programs, number of commercials, and content ratings of the programs. Frequently referencing one of his heroes, left-wing activist Saul Alinsky, Lloyd claims in his book that the history of American communications policy has been one of continued corporate control of every form of communication from the telegraph to the Internet. “Citizen access to popular information has been undermined by bad political decisions,” Lloyd wrote. “These decisions date back to the Jacksonian Democrats’ refusal to allow the Post Office to continue to operate the telegraph service.” Lloyd claimed that neither technology nor liberal reforms have been able to overcome the damage caused when government fails to give everyone an equal voice. Throughout history, Lloyd said, “[t]he most powerful communications tool was deliberately placed in the hands of one faction in our republic: commercial industry.” “Neither Progressive era reforms nor new communications technologies have been able to correct the problems resulting from government abdication of a responsibility to advance the equal capability of citizen discourse,” Lloyd added. “Corporate liberty has overwhelmed citizen equality,” he wrote. Government, Lloyd said in his book, is the “only” institution that can manage the communications of the public, arguing that Washington must “ensure” that everyone has an equal ability to communicate. “The American republic requires the active deliberation of a diverse citizenry, and this, I argue, can be ensured only by our government,” he says. “Put another way, providing for the equal capability of citizens to participate effectively in democratic deliberation is our collective responsibility.” FCC seal Lessons for Radicals Lloyd relies heavily on the left-wing radical Saul Alinsky in explaining his strategy. Alinsky (1909-1972) was a community organizer and activist from Chicago and the author of the book, Rules for Radicals, which opens with an acknowledgment "to the very first radical ... Lucifer." As for political tactics, Alinsky said, “The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away. In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people. This means revolution." With Alinsky as the political guide, Lloyd outlines nine “lessons” that people can draw on when trying to combat international businesses. 1. “Organizing people must be a priority. In order to counter effectively the power of major corporations we understood that we had to be able to demonstrate the support of hundreds of thousands of people. As Alinksy wrote: ‘Change comes from power, and power comes from organization. In order to act, people must get together.’” 2. “Understand where people stand on your issue. Once we were clear that we needed to drum up the support of people, we needed to understand what people knew about our issues. As Alinksy wrote, ‘if people feel they don’t have the power to change a bad situation, then they do not think about it.’” 3. “Connect with groups that have already organized the community. Our means of reaching local communities was through existing national organizations. We reached out to groups that had large constituencies and articulated our message by identifying how our goals fit their core interests.” 4. “The strategy must have an inside and an outside game. For media reform, this means we needed to embrace the necessity of operating both in and outside Washington [D.C.].” 5. “Don’t wait for events to unfold on their own. Pressure, pressure, pressure. If we wanted events to work in a direction that would benefit us, we knew we needed

CONSERVATIVES, do you like the idea of splitting the USA with us LIBERALS? The more I think about it the more I like it. Let's divide the US into Liberals and Conservatives. We've become like a party of hikers stranded on a mountain slope. Half want to stay put and wait for rescue, and the other half want to get as far back down the slope as they can. Both sides could be right, both are willing to stake their lives on their ideas, and both are ready to kill the other side for resisting what must be done. So, let's split up. The Liberals get the Northeast and both coasts: the blue states. If we get all the blue states from 2008, that includes New Mexico, Colorado, and Florida. Also, Hawaii. I'd throw in Florida for the Conservatives just to sweeten the pot. I suggest we name ourselves the Social Democratic States of America. The SDSA. The Conservatives get the big center of the country and the gulf coast states. And Alaska. I suggest you call yourselves the Christian Confederation of America. The CCA. During the partition there will be some messy splits, and a lot of dramatic exoduses and ethnic cleansing. Most of the city of Austin will be Liberals trapped far behind enemy lines, in the very Capital city of the Christian Confederacy! They will have to evacuate to North Carolina. Conversely, the entire population of Western Michigan will have to make a run for Missouri. A lot of Wall Street guys will be flying their private jets one - way to Dallas, while a lot of Liberal millionaires will say goodbye to their Montana ranches forever. We have to split the federal debt and each pay off half, because both Rep. and Dems have borrowed all that money. Right now national debt is 12.9 trillion. A little less than half of that added up during the administration of Pres. George W. Bush (sorry, just had to point it out). The Christian Confederation will eliminate income and business taxes, but they still have to find a way to pay back $6.5 trillion without that revenue. Take State revenues in Texas, the capital of the CCA. They make $21 million a year in sales tax and $26 million in income tax. Without income, sales tax will go to around 20%. Then, to pay make their federal debt payments, they may have to double that, maybe to 40% sales tax. Also, a lot of that is Social Security, which red - staters have been paying all their lives. I don't know if you're going to just tell all those would - be retirees that their money is gone, or pay them all back their money in one lump sum (in which case you'll have to borrow trillions more) or keep paying Social Security, but that's pretty Socialist. Meanwhile, in the SDSA, taxes will be roughly like those in Western Europe. Most will pay 25%. The wealthiest pay a lot more income tax than now, up to 50% in the $1 million/ year income bracket. However, no one will have any medical, prescription, or education expenses. We each get half of the military, because we both paid for it. So we each have enough nukes to keep us from invading each other. Social Democratic States of America SDSA all blue states; northeast and coastal states. Multicultural, secular, republic, dedicated to ideals of mutual tolerance, freedom, and human rights. Member and foremost donor to United Nations. Signatory to all major international treaties on human rights, disarmament, and environment. Secretary of Science and Technology is a cabinet position. Congressional Office of Science is established to review policy proposals. Science research receives high levels of funding, technology progresses. Open immigration, open guest worker passes. Guest workers put downward pressures on wages for labor. High income tax. Most Americans pay 25% federal income tax. Over 50% for those earning over $1,000,000/ year.. Single payer health care for all. No medical expenses for covered services for citizens. Some procedures deemed unproven, cosmetic, or futile, not covered. Entrepreneurs and businesses pay nothing for employee medical insurance. Free public college education for any who pass entrance exams. Few energy reserves. Large fuel imports. Intensive investment in renewable energy and later generation nuclear reactors. Military spending reduced to a level needed to defend SDSA territory, plus expeditionary forces for UN. Strong ties with Europe and Asia lead to increased trade and financial investment. Blue states had average incomes about $10,000 higher than red states at time of partition. High educational achievement, international trade and investment, and technological innovation, lead to increasing household incomes. Women choose when and if to start families. Homosexuals granted full marriage rights Christian Confederacy of America CCA All red states; south, central, and gulf coast states. Christian confederacy of states. Dedicated to Jesus Christ, to freedom, and to the heritage of America. All non - Christian citizens and houses of worship are required to register with local govern

Write a Review Reviews Voted Most Helpful Votes are counted and displayed within 24 hours HM 1355196 37% Similar To You HM 1355196's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is an excellent documentary that I think every American should see before they vote again. This is not a movie about Bush vs. Kerry or Republicans vs. Democrats. Its about our current voting system and exposing a multitude of problems with that system as demonstrated in the 2004 election. We are told "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" and this documentary exposes the corruption, mistruths, and shameful negligence and mishandling of these "VOTES" in a way that cannot be denied nor ignored - unless you don't watch it for yourself. 73 out of 78 people found this review helpful.

The answer is yes, yes, yes!!! Kudos to Bev Harris who has dedicated years to exposing the corruption surrounding electronic voting. Get this. After Hacking Democracy's premiere on HBO, Harris received death threats. That's how risky and powerful her work is. 67 out of 77 people found this review helpful.

When a normal everyday citizen gets up and challenges the system, you see how the system fights back. This woman doesn't give up like most of us would and shows us and one election official in Florida that the way our voting system was run and still is, has errors. 29 out of 36 people found this review helpful.

This wonderful documentary proves my point that we have the best democracy that money can buy, along with our judicial system. This film is more frightening than any horror film I've seen, because THIS IS REAL! And this is movie biased? Not at all. It's an absolute eye opener that shows that your vote really doesn't count; and make sure you watch the deleted scenes(another 33 minutes of fantastic footage). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Member Reviews hawk5391 58% Similar To You hawk5391's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Even though I also watched the original slasher classic Black Christmas, this was the scariest movie I saw over the Christmas break. Although the filmmakers obviously have every reason to sensationalize potential problems with electronic voting systems ("good news is no news," right?), the implications here are frightening. Not only did Bev Harris (founder of a non-partisan watchdog group) find voting machine code unprotected on the internet, she was able to successfully hack it and prove that results could be manipulated (you can watch this being done in a matter of seconds in this film). The lack of oversight of the companies who control the majority of electronic voting is astounding, almost as bad as the sloppy manner in which our government oversees the elections themselves. 10 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful LR 572736 43% Similar To You LR 572736's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Politics in America is scarey enough, but when you see what is going on with our elections system, you will just go through the roof. We have hoped through the last few centuries that a government of the people, by the people and for the people would not parish from the face of the earth, and that America would be its shining example. After viewing this flick, you will realize just how tarnished our example has become. We have realized in the past decades, that money rules, and it just feels like our votes don't count, only the money that backs our politicians. Only the corporations and special interests have access to the politicians these days, not the people that vote. This picture goes a long way to explaining how that happens. After realizing the truths in this documentary, I feel even more helpless and useless to change a corrupt government by my vote. Did my vote get counted? How would I even know? The facts put forth in this program are just about incredible, but you come away realizing their powerful credibility. I wondered why their hasn't been criminal prosecution of the election fraud that is running rampant in our country today? Where are prosecuters? Why aren't elections officials who ignore our right to have our votes counted, recounter and certified being placed on trial for crimes against the electorate? You owe it to yourself and your country to see this documentary long before the next election. Don't miss this one! 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful JR 1824621 61% Similar To You JR 1824621's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is what makes America great: a woman, with a full life, puts it all behind her because she has come across the ultimate injustice and knows that she must right it. This is the story of the creation of the group and webpage BlackBoxVoting.com Having found the Diebold's source code, a code that not even the President of the United States can see, Bev Harris takes the code to an expert. What is revealed causes Harris to criss cross America, to prove the fact that Diebold had literally hijacked democracy. Although it's possible, it's difficult to believe that anyone can think that the 2004 Presidential Election wasn't rigged after viewing this film. A 'must see' for every American. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Ben5765 35% Similar To You Ben5765's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This film is all about voting machines and how votes are tabulated. It makes mincemeat of the Diebold Corporation, manufacturer of a large percentage of the electronic voting machines used in the United States. It reveals Diebold officials making lie after lie about the security of their machines. The makers of the film meticulously document how, using Diebold's machines and data cards, someone with just a basic understanding of the technology involved (including, certainly, any Diebold employee) could rig the vote count, on one machine or on thousands of them, with absolutely no record that the rigging was ever done. The film also reveals how Diebold's chief executive officer was (and maybe still is) a large contributor to the Republican Party. He once wrote a letter stating that he would "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election for George W. Bush. The film later shows how his company managed to persuade Cuyahoga County, Ohio (where Cleveland is) to buy its machines. Maybe there is nothing fishy going on there, but appearances matter! Lest the film be seen as partisan, it features, among others, a Republican office-seeker from Louisiana who, after losing her race, went to view a demonstration of the machines that the voters used. As part of the demonstration she pressed the button next to her name, and the machine registered a vote for her opponent. Hmmm. She was understandably troubled. Moreover, the film points out that in many parts of the country it is in fact the local Republican Party that is wary of electronic voting machines, not the Democrats. Hacking Democracy also reveals problems with punch card voting systems--problems that dwarf the famous "hanging chad" problem of the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. The film's message is distressing, but it is one all American citizens should hear and see. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

No. It's our responsibility as citizens to stay informed and demand voting accuracy. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

It is because their kind of ignorance that this movie is a 5 star and a must for every single human being to watch and learn. There is no excuse for any voting system to be too technical, too complex, too secret that we cannot prove what the votes were years from when the votes were taken. Not even 50 years, not even 100 years, not even 1000 years, not ever. For anyone to suggest that the electronic voting system is not possible to understand and to do a documentary for by a handful of heroic citizens, it is an insult to this country and democracy. Let these be the commandments of election: 1) No voting methods should be more complicated than what pen/pencil can do on a ballot. 2) Vote handling in any election process should be transparent to the public no matter when, why, how, what, who. 3) Only 100% accuracy should be accepted. Anything less then 100% should be recounted no matter how many times, how long it takes, and how much it cost to be 100% accurate. 4) Without 100% accuracy, election cannot be concluded. Another election should be conducted immediately without further delay. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Write a Review Reviews Voted Most Helpful Votes are counted and displayed within 24 hours HM 1355196 37% Similar To You HM 1355196's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is an excellent documentary that I think every American should see before they vote again. This is not a movie about Bush vs. Kerry or Republicans vs. Democrats. Its about our current voting system and exposing a multitude of problems with that system as demonstrated in the 2004 election. We are told "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" and this documentary exposes the corruption, mistruths, and shameful negligence and mishandling of these "VOTES" in a way that cannot be denied nor ignored - unless you don't watch it for yourself. 73 out of 78 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful TerBo 40% Similar To You TerBo's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is a must-see documentary, especially for those still doubtful about whether elections in this country can be tampered with. The answer is yes, yes, yes!!! Kudos to Bev Harris who has dedicated years to exposing the corruption surrounding electronic voting. Get this. After Hacking Democracy's premiere on HBO, Harris received death threats. That's how risky and powerful her work is. 67 out of 77 people found this review helpful.

When a normal everyday citizen gets up and challenges the system, you see how the system fights back. This woman doesn't give up like most of us would and shows us and one election official in Florida that the way our voting system was run and still is, has errors. 29 out of 36 people found this review helpful.

Abolish electronic voting machines!! I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Professional Bum 63% Similar To You Professional ...'s other reviews > 5.0 Stars If you are an American & have the ability to vote, please do yourself a favor and put this in your queue immediately(especially since this is an election year). This wonderful documentary proves my point that we have the best democracy that money can buy, along with our judicial system. This film is more frightening than any horror film I've seen, because THIS IS REAL! And this is movie biased? Not at all. It's an absolute eye opener that shows that your vote really doesn't count; and make sure you watch the deleted scenes(another 33 minutes of fantastic footage). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Member Reviews hawk5391 58% Similar To You hawk5391's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Even though I also watched the original slasher classic Black Christmas, this was the scariest movie I saw over the Christmas break. Although the filmmakers obviously have every reason to sensationalize potential problems with electronic voting systems ("good news is no news," right?), the implications here are frightening. Not only did Bev Harris (founder of a non-partisan watchdog group) find voting machine code unprotected on the internet, she was able to successfully hack it and prove that results could be manipulated (you can watch this being done in a matter of seconds in this film). The lack of oversight of the companies who control the majority of electronic voting is astounding, almost as bad as the sloppy manner in which our government oversees the elections themselves. 10 out of 10 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Cassun 53% Similar To You Cassun's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Probably the scariest movie I've watched in a long time. The production value isn't good, but its worth sitting through to find out just how easy it would be for just one person with an agenda to manipulate the outcome of an election. 9 out of 12 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful LR 572736 43% Similar To You LR 572736's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Politics in America is scarey enough, but when you see what is going on with our elections system, you will just go through the roof. We have hoped through the last few centuries that a government of the people, by the people and for the people would not parish from the face of the earth, and that America would be its shining example. After viewing this flick, you will realize just how tarnished our example has become. We have realized in the past decades, that money rules, and it just feels like our votes don't count, only the money that backs our politicians. Only the corporations and special interests have access to the politicians these days, not the people that vote. This picture goes a long way to explaining how that happens. After realizing the truths in this documentary, I feel even more helpless and useless to change a corrupt government by my vote. Did my vote get counted? How would I even know? The facts put forth in this program are just about incredible, but you come away realizing their powerful credibility. I wondered why their hasn't been criminal prosecution of the election fraud that is running rampant in our country today? Where are prosecuters? Why aren't elections officials who ignore our right to have our votes counted, recounter and certified being placed on trial for crimes against the electorate? You owe it to yourself and your country to see this documentary long before the next election. Don't miss this one! 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

I just finished watching this documentary, and I can't believe what I heard and saw. This is not another Michael Moore speculative film that makes assumptions with no factual evidence. This is incredible. Everyone should see this film. It is truly an amazing look inside of our election system. 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

It's about the undermining of our society, the breakdown. My opinion is that we should get away from secret voting and out into the public. Democracy is where WE THE PEOPLE elect our officials. You must see this to know why I write this. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is the story of the creation of the group and webpage BlackBoxVoting.com Having found the Diebold's source code, a code that not even the President of the United States can see, Bev Harris takes the code to an expert. What is revealed causes Harris to criss cross America, to prove the fact that Diebold had literally hijacked democracy. Although it's possible, it's difficult to believe that anyone can think that the 2004 Presidential Election wasn't rigged after viewing this film. A 'must see' for every American. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

If you liked 'All the presidents men' or 'The Insider' You'll like this movie. Actually come to think of it, what this story needs is a treatment like the above mentioned movies so the message could have a broader appeal beyond this documentary. 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Every citizen of the USA owes it to themselves to watch this documentary. It is just shocking. It calls into question everything we know about how our votes are recorded in this country. My jaw literally dropped when I saw one part of it. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it. You MUST watch this! 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Ben5765 35% Similar To You Ben5765's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This film is all about voting machines and how votes are tabulated. It makes mincemeat of the Diebold Corporation, manufacturer of a large percentage of the electronic voting machines used in the United States. It reveals Diebold officials making lie after lie about the security of their machines. The makers of the film meticulously document how, using Diebold's machines and data cards, someone with just a basic understanding of the technology involved (including, certainly, any Diebold employee) could rig the vote count, on one machine or on thousands of them, with absolutely no record that the rigging was ever done. The film also reveals how Diebold's chief executive officer was (and maybe still is) a large contributor to the Republican Party. He once wrote a letter stating that he would "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election for George W. Bush. The film later shows how his company managed to persuade Cuyahoga County, Ohio (where Cleveland is) to buy its machines. Maybe there is nothing fishy going on there, but appearances matter! Lest the film be seen as partisan, it features, among others, a Republican office-seeker from Louisiana who, after losing her race, went to view a demonstration of the machines that the voters used. As part of the demonstration she pressed the button next to her name, and the machine registered a vote for her opponent. Hmmm. She was understandably troubled. Moreover, the film points out that in many parts of the country it is in fact the local Republican Party that is wary of electronic voting machines, not the Democrats. Hacking Democracy also reveals problems with punch card voting systems--problems that dwarf the famous "hanging chad" problem of the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. The film's message is distressing, but it is one all American citizens should hear and see. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Instead of taking a partisan view on the movie, realize how intensly frightening this movie really is. Should it be just one grandmother's job to inform us how we're being duped? No. It's our responsibility as citizens to stay informed and demand voting accuracy. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful yla 83539 39% Similar To You yla 83539's other reviews > 5.0 Stars SA 1674508, Yazheirx, JR 65420, RS 305556, their reviews are absolutely the threat that we all have about democracy. It is because their kind of ignorance that this movie is a 5 star and a must for every single human being to watch and learn. There is no excuse for any voting system to be too technical, too complex, too secret that we cannot prove what the votes were years from when the votes were taken. Not even 50 years, not even 100 years, not even 1000 years, not ever. For anyone to suggest that the electronic voting system is not possible to understand and to do a documentary for by a handful of heroic citizens, it is an insult to this country and democracy. Let these be the commandments of election: 1) No voting methods should be more complicated than what pen/pencil can do on a ballot. 2) Vote handling in any election process should be transparent to the public no matter when, why, how, what, who. 3) Only 100% accuracy should be accepted. Anything less then 100% should be recounted no matter how many times, how long it takes, and how much it cost to be 100% accurate. 4) Without 100% accuracy, election cannot be concluded. Another election should be conducted immediately without further delay. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is not a movie about Bush vs. Kerry or Republicans vs. Democrats. Its about our current voting system and exposing a multitude of problems with that system as demonstrated in the 2004 election. We are told "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" and this documentary exposes the corruption, mistruths, and shameful negligence and mishandling of these "VOTES" in a way that cannot be denied nor ignored - unless you don't watch it for yourself. 73 out of 78 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful TerBo 40% Similar To You TerBo's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is a must-see documentary, especially for those still doubtful about whether elections in this country can be tampered with. The answer is yes, yes, yes!!! Kudos to Bev Harris who has dedicated years to exposing the corruption surrounding electronic voting. Get this. After Hacking Democracy's premiere on HBO, Harris received death threats. That's how risky and powerful her work is. 67 out of 77 people found this review helpful.

When a normal everyday citizen gets up and challenges the system, you see how the system fights back. This woman doesn't give up like most of us would and shows us and one election official in Florida that the way our voting system was run and still is, has errors. 29 out of 36 people found this review helpful.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Professional Bum 63% Similar To You Professional ...'s other reviews > 5.0 Stars If you are an American & have the ability to vote, please do yourself a favor and put this in your queue immediately(especially since this is an election year). This wonderful documentary proves my point that we have the best democracy that money can buy, along with our judicial system. This film is more frightening than any horror film I've seen, because THIS IS REAL! And this is movie biased? Not at all. It's an absolute eye opener that shows that your vote really doesn't count; and make sure you watch the deleted scenes(another 33 minutes of fantastic footage). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Member Reviews hawk5391 58% Similar To You hawk5391's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Even though I also watched the original slasher classic Black Christmas, this was the scariest movie I saw over the Christmas break. Although the filmmakers obviously have every reason to sensationalize potential problems with electronic voting systems ("good news is no news," right?), the implications here are frightening. Not only did Bev Harris (founder of a non-partisan watchdog group) find voting machine code unprotected on the internet, she was able to successfully hack it and prove that results could be manipulated (you can watch this being done in a matter of seconds in this film). The lack of oversight of the companies who control the majority of electronic voting is astounding, almost as bad as the sloppy manner in which our government oversees the elections themselves. 10 out of 10 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Cassun 53% Similar To You Cassun's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Probably the scariest movie I've watched in a long time. The production value isn't good, but its worth sitting through to find out just how easy it would be for just one person with an agenda to manipulate the outcome of an election. 9 out of 12 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful LR 572736 43% Similar To You LR 572736's other reviews > 5.0 Stars Politics in America is scarey enough, but when you see what is going on with our elections system, you will just go through the roof. We have hoped through the last few centuries that a government of the people, by the people and for the people would not parish from the face of the earth, and that America would be its shining example. After viewing this flick, you will realize just how tarnished our example has become. We have realized in the past decades, that money rules, and it just feels like our votes don't count, only the money that backs our politicians. Only the corporations and special interests have access to the politicians these days, not the people that vote. This picture goes a long way to explaining how that happens. After realizing the truths in this documentary, I feel even more helpless and useless to change a corrupt government by my vote. Did my vote get counted? How would I even know? The facts put forth in this program are just about incredible, but you come away realizing their powerful credibility. I wondered why their hasn't been criminal prosecution of the election fraud that is running rampant in our country today? Where are prosecuters? Why aren't elections officials who ignore our right to have our votes counted, recounter and certified being placed on trial for crimes against the electorate? You owe it to yourself and your country to see this documentary long before the next election. Don't miss this one! 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

I just finished watching this documentary, and I can't believe what I heard and saw. This is not another Michael Moore speculative film that makes assumptions with no factual evidence.

It's about the undermining of our society, the breakdown. My opinion is that we should get away from secret voting and out into the public. Democracy is where WE THE PEOPLE elect our officials.

I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful JR 1824621 61% Similar To You JR 1824621's other reviews > 5.0 Stars This is what makes America great: a woman, with a full life, puts it all behind her because she has come across the ultimate injustice and knows that she must right it. This is the story of the creation of the group and webpage BlackBoxVoting.com Having found the Diebold's source code, a code that not even the President of the United States can see, Bev Harris takes the code to an expert. What is revealed causes Harris to criss cross America, to prove the fact that Diebold had literally hijacked democracy. Although it's possible, it's difficult to believe that anyone can think that the 2004 Presidential Election wasn't rigged after viewing this film. A 'must see' for every American. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful PW 51% Similar To You PW's other reviews > 5.0 Stars One of the scariest movies I've ever seen... because it's true. If you liked 'All the presidents men' or 'The Insider' You'll like this movie. Actually come to think of it, what this story needs is a treatment like the above mentioned movies so the message could have a broader appeal beyond this documentary. 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

It is quite timely, and I think we can all relate to the topic at hand. I was touched by the reaction of some of the people in the movie when they proved how the voting system can be hacked without much effort 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Every citizen of the USA owes it to themselves to watch this documentary. It is just shocking. It calls into question everything we know about how our votes are recorded in this country. My jaw literally dropped when I saw one part of it. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it. You MUST watch this! 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. I found this review Click to rate this review as helpful Ben5765 35% Similar To You Ben5765's other reviews > 4.0 Stars This film is all about voting machines and how votes are tabulated. It makes mincemeat of the Diebold Corporation, manufacturer of a large percentage of the electronic voting machines used in the United States. It reveals Diebold officials making lie after lie about the security of their machines. The makers of the film meticulously document how, using Diebold's machines and data cards, someone with just a basic understanding of the technology involved (including, certainly, any Diebold employee) could rig the vote count, on one machine or on thousands of them, with absolutely no record that the rigging was ever done. The film also reveals how Diebold's chief executive officer was (and maybe still is) a large contributor to the Republican Party. He once wrote a letter stating that he would "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election for George W. Bush. The film later shows how his company managed to persuade Cuyahoga County, Ohio (where Cleveland is) to buy its machines. Maybe there is nothing fishy going on there, but appearances matter! Lest the film be seen as partisan, it features, among others, a Republican office-seeker from Louisiana who, after losing her race, went to view a demonstration of the machines that the voters used. As part of the demonstration she pressed the button next to her name, and the machine registered a vote for her opponent. Hmmm. She was understandably troubled. Moreover, the film points out that in many parts of the country it is in fact the local Republican Party that is wary of electronic voting machines, not the Democrats. Hacking Democracy also reveals problems with punch card voting systems--problems that dwarf the famous "hanging chad" problem of the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. The film's message is distressing, but it is one all American citizens should hear and see. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Instead of taking a partisan view on the movie, realize how intensly frightening this movie really is. Should it be just one grandmother's job to inform us how we're being duped? No. It's our responsibility as citizens to stay informed and demand voting accuracy. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

It leaves you with your head shaking, wondering how the history of the last 8 years might read if the vote-tampering exposed in Hacking Democracy hadnt been possible. Also a testament to how one regular person can make a difference, this documentary is very well done. Youll hate what you learn. 6 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

It is because their kind of ignorance that this movie is a 5 star and a must for every single human being to watch and learn. There is no excuse for any voting system to be too technical, too complex, too secret that we cannot prove what the votes were years from when the votes were taken. Not even 50 years, not even 100 years, not even 1000 years, not ever. For anyone to suggest that the electronic voting system is not possible to understand and to do a documentary for by a handful of heroic citizens, it is an insult to this country and democracy. Let these be the commandments of election: 1) No voting methods should be more complicated than what pen/pencil can do on a ballot. 2) Vote handling in any election process should be transparent to the public no matter when, why, how, what, who. 3) Only 100% accuracy should be accepted. Anything less then 100% should be recounted no matter how many times, how long it takes, and how much it cost to be 100% accurate. 4) Without 100% accuracy, election cannot be concluded. Another election should be conducted immediately without further delay. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Choosing the right degree program to land a high level English teaching job in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.? Hello Everyone, I did a search and didn't find the info I was seeking so I decided to post this question to pick your brains. I apologize in advance for the long email and also thank you for your responses (the constructive ones.) I love expat life and have decided to build a career in the TESOL field. I've therefore decided to pursue my Master's degree while working in South Korea (currently in my first year in Korea.) My current goal is to become well qualitfied for a position in the UAE. My questions are these: 1- Does my degree have to be from an English speaking country? I'm a U.S citizen with a BA in Mass Communications from a U.S university so would it matter to the employers if I earned my Master's degree from a university in Korea? I'm considering studying in Korea because it would be more convenient for me as I'll be here for a few years. Of course, I'm also researching online degree programs in the U.S but it would be great if I could study in Korea. 2- Based on my research most people have Master's degree in Applied Linguistics or an MA TESOL. Just these 2 options seem limiting to me. Are they? I'd like to position myself to have options in and outside of the classroom and perhaps take some positions with NGOs, etc. Can anyone think of some other TESOL related majors that would qualify me for teacher positions int he UAE and elsewhere in the world but wouldn't necessarily limit me to the classroom forever? I'm looking at Drexel University's online program. I'm considering the Master of Science in Global and International Education program. According to the school website: " Graduates of the The M.S. in Global and International Education program will be qualified to pursue careers in higher education, ESL programs, education abroad, law firms, international education associations, accreditation agencies, local community international outreach centers, U.S. government, international development or human service agencies, non-governmental agencies, as well as act as administrators, managers, and researchers in national and international organizations, foundations, associations, and corporations. Key Program Features: •Graduates from the MS program in Global and International Education will possess skills in developing, analyzing, implementing, and evaluating new educational policies at a variety of institutions/organizations or private sector jobs by using cross-cultural perspectives in training employees and researching products. •Students will also exhibit outstanding leadership, organizational, cross-cultural, interpersonal, and advocacy skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with internal and external groups, using present and emerging communication and information technologies. Students will have in-depth knowledge regarding both public and private (non-profit and for-profit) institutions as well as small and large institutions and multi-campus institutions..." What do you think? Would this be a marketable specialization or do the schools generally want degrees that are more language oriented? Thanks again!

Anyone want to know Obamas legislative accomplishments? well here they are I posted this question once before but it was reported as not being a question which it obviously is. So I guess some moron didn't want the truth to be seen so i decided to re post it. Hope some find it helpful its all facts. Obama's Legislative Accomplishments- compiled by Paul Ardoin By Rochelle from Nevada City, CA - Feb 20th, 2008 at 4:54 pm EST Texas State Senator Kirk Watson may not be able to talk about any of Obama's legislative efforts, but you can. Obama authored, co-authored, or sponsored almost 1,000 bills since his 2004 election. Some became law. These include: -The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law) -The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act -S.2488 : A bill to promote accessibility, accountability, and openness in Government by strengthening section 552 of title 5, United States Code (commonly referred to as the Freedom of Information Act) (the 2007 Government Ethics Bill) -S.2803 : A bill to amend the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 to improve the safety of mines and mining. In addition, he's authored and/or sponsored many bills and amendments to other bills. Some of the bills and amendments that have successfully passed the Senate include the following: -S.1418 : A bill to enhance the adoption of a nationwide inter operable health information technology system and to improve the quality and reduce the costs of health care in the United States. -S.792 : A bill to establish a National sex offender registration database. -S.558 : A bill to provide parity between health insurance coverage of mental health benefits and benefits for medical and surgical services. -S.378 : A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to protect judges, prosecutors, witnesses, victims, and their family members. -S.5 : A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for human embryonic stem cell research. -S.RES.383 : A resolution calling on the President to take immediate steps to help improve the security situation in Darfur, Sudan, with an emphasis on civilian protection. -S.1120 : An act to reduce hunger in the United States. -S.AMDT.2692 to H.R.2764 To require a comprehensive nuclear threat reduction and security plan. -S.AMDT.2588 to H.R.976 To provide certain employment protections for family members who are caring for members of the Armed Forces recovering from illnesses and injuries incurred on active duty. -The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act -S.AMDT.3073 to H.R.1585 To provide for transparency and accountability in military and security contracting. -S.AMDT.41 to S.1 To require lobbyists to disclose the candidates, leadership PACs, or political parties for whom they collect or arrange contributions, and the aggregate amount of the contributions collected or arranged. -S.AMDT.55 (and other amendments) to S.1 To require disclosure of lobbyists on "earmarks." -S.AMDT.524 to S.CON.RES.21 To provide $100 million for the Summer Term Education Program supporting summer learning opportunities for low-income students in the early grades to lessen summer learning losses that contribute to the achievement gaps separating low-income students from their middle-class peers. -S.AMDT.1041 to S.1082 To improve the safety and efficacy of genetic tests. Looking at the Congressional Record, Obama has been one of the more active Senators in introducing and pursuing new legislation. Many Senators sponsor between 40 and 70 pieces of legislation that pass the Senate every two years. In the 109th Congress, Obama sponsored 84 pieces of legislation that passed the Senate (Scorecard: McCain 94, Clinton 125). In the current 110th Congress, Obama has so far sponsored 70 pieces of legislation that have passed the Senate (McCain 37, Clinton 97). Most Senators have so far sponsored between 30 and 50. So yes: Clinton does get more legislation sponsored. But that doesn't tell the whole story. One of the bills Clinton sponsored was condemning Iran for its nuclear program (the one that Bush backpedaled on - that was Senate Resolution 78 from the 109th Congress); also, many bills that all Senators sponsor are not solution-oriented (naming post offices or courthouses after people, recognizing an official week or month for a particular disease or educational program). Many of these sponsored bills also die in committee--Clinton and Obama have each sponsored over 1,000 pieces of legislation during their terms, with only about 150 to 200 passing the Senate. The point is, Obama has a significant list of legislative accomplishments. Clinton and McCain have both been implying that Obama has accomplished nothing--when in fact Obama has done a lot more to move the country forward than most members of Congress. Most importantly, I believe his judgment is superior--whether it's standing on courthouse steps to take an unpopular stand against a popular w sorry scott dont believe that
