Extractions: A Dialogue Across Generations. Scanned, copy-edited, spell-checked, and tagged by Tuomi J. Forrest, The University of Virginia, 11/13/95. THE SYMBOL-MYTH-IMAGE generation of American Studies scholars went to school to giants, and in vital respects were giants themselves. They were tutored by the likes of F. O. Matthiessen, Perry Miller, Ralph Henry Gabriel, Samuel Eliot Morison, Arthur O. Lovejoy, Howard Mumford Jones, and they went on to create such classics in the field as Virgin Land; The Savages of Amenca; Andrew Jachson: Symbol for an Age; The American Adam; The Jacksonian Persuasion; The Quest for Paradise; The Machine in the Garden. But in culture studies as in culture, giants do not arise without connections. The contemporary "giants" of the three essays to follow Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Gregory Bateson, Clifford Geertz differ in intellectual orientation and discipline of origin from the scholarly mentors of the symbol-myth-image generation. They differ also in their relationship to those writing about them. R. Gordon Kelly, Jay Mechling, and Karen Lystra were not actually taught by the scholars they discuss they are connected not personally but through the medium of the published word. It may be instructive, then, in setting a scholarly context for the essays that follow, to establish some continuities and contrasts between current and past cultural imperatives in the field. (There is little need here to elucidate the essays themselves; they speak eloquently in their own behalf )

Extractions: (cover of earlier edition) Common Courage Press , 1995, 2001; ISBN 1-56751-052-3 In the introduction to this book, William Blum writes: After studying the appalling information in Killing Hope, If a person is decent and an American patriot, he or she is not intelligent. If a person is intelligent and an American patriot, he or she is not decent. And if a person is decent and intelligent, he or she is not an American patriot. A very useful rule of thumb. Mass ignorance of, or indifference to, our own evil history is certainly the case within America, and the reason for it is explained by statements 1 and 2 above. A very high percentage of Americans are simply not intelligent and decent. Even if they lead relatively decent personal lives they are total fools for the professionally crafted propaganda that saturates the corporate mass-media. And that propaganda is created by American patriots of the second variety: they may be intelligent, but they surely are not decent.

Afterwards, have your audience discuss the questions posed in this issue. Then consider the following questions: When did Woodstock take place? In what ways did the legacy of Woodstock leave lasting marks on the character of "the Woodstock generation"? Did any of the activities of Woodstock's participants seem indicative of currents of meaningful social change? What brought the audience to Woodstock, and how would you characterize the people who made up that audience? Are you aware of any ways in which the legacy of Woodstock has shaped the ideas, attitudes, and mores of you personally and of your generation? Can you think of ways in which the society of the United States and of the larger world has absorbed influences traceable to Woodstock? Can you think of other popular cultural milestones that have left behind significant and lasting imports on society? Create your own documentary film, entitled

MiscGen Each of us, therefore, are composed of genetic material derived from is what forms the primary attraction of the study of genealogy. 8 (Births in 1900s1940s). http://www.motherbedford.com/MiscGen.htm
Extractions: Each of us are composed of genetic material derived from our two parents, each of whom were composed of genetic material derived from each of their two parents, each of whom, in turn, were composed of genetic material derived from their respective two parents, and so on. Each of us, therefore, are composed of genetic material derived from numerous direct-line ancestors. The information in genetic material does not break down until after nearly fifteen generations. That means that the genetic material that I am composed of is somewhat the same as that of my great15-grandparents. It also means that each generation donated certain genetic material to the mixture that eventually became me. The desire to know who my ancestors were, so that I might know from whom I got my blue eyes and my propensity to be bald, is what forms the primary attraction of the study of genealogy. My direct line ancestors bore surnames that were German, Irish, Swiss and Scottish. The pages which are attached to this page present, by generation, the lineages of various of my ancestors. This site will usually be in a state of flux as I add new lines which I have fleshed out, and make corrections to ones which I already had.

Hunger In The US: A Brief History During the war years of the 1940s, the nation was return of better economic times, the us again turned into Hunger and Malnutrition issued a study, Hunger usA http://www.knowhunger.org/knowhunger/frames/kNOwHungerCurriculum/HighSchool/unit
Extractions: The fact that more than one of every ten Americans is impacted by hunger and food insecurity makes us quite unique among wealthy democracies in the world. The U.S. is not the only such nation where some people go hungry, but it is the only wealthy industrial country where such a high proportion of its people suffer from nutritional deprivation due to inadequate incomes. Nearly one of every five children in our nation lives below the federal poverty line of $14,150 annually for a family of three people. While there are year-to-year fluctuations, child poverty increased by more than 50% in the past quarter of a century. The latest data show that some 31 million Americans lived in poverty throughout 1998. Because we permit such widespread poverty in our nation, we also have widespread hunger. This is so because hunger is the child of poverty. People who have enough money to purchase the right kinds of food do not go hungry. Studies consistently show that when poor people do have enough money to buy food, they use their money as wisely as does the rest of the population when they go to the market. Hunger in the United States has risen and fallen over past decades. These changes usually reflect the strength (or weakness) of the economy, and changes in social policy on the part of the President and Congress.

More Information V Arts and Letters Print Preview of Section The arts, more than other features of culture, provide avenues for the expression of imagination and personal vision. They offer a range of emotional and intellectual pleasures to consumers of art and are an important way in which a culture represents itself. There has long been a Western tradition distinguishing those arts that appeal to the multitude, such as popular music, from thoseâsuch as classical orchestral musicânormally available to the elite of learning and taste. Popular art forms are usually seen as more representative American products. In the United States in the recent past, there has been a blending of popular and elite art forms, as all the arts experienced a period of remarkable cross-fertilization. Because popular art forms are so widely distributed, arts of all kinds have prospered.
Extractions: It has been just over three decades since Weitzman, Eifler, Hokada, and Ross (1972) produced their classic study on gender role socialization in children's books. Weitzman et al.'s primary focus was on winners and runners-up of the Caldecott Medal (the most prestigious award for children's picture books), especially those selected during the 5 years from 1967 to 1971. Their major finding was that American picture books for preschoolers depicted male and female characters in stereotyped ways and that they hardly showed female characters at all. Weitzman et al. suggested that both the stereotyping of all characters and the relative invisibility of female characters taught young readers an important lesson about the relative worth of boys and girls in American society: that "boys are more highly valued than girls" (p. 1125). The Caldecott Medal was first awarded in 1938, and one may well wonder whether the trend of increasing visibility of female characters and decreasing stereotyping in award-winning books is safely extrapolated backward in time. Our goal in this study has been to examine this possibility by looking again at award-winners and runners-up from the late 1960s (1967-71) and at their counterparts in the late 1950s (1957-61), the late 1940s (1947-51), and the late 1930s (1938-42).
