Education in America, The Vault and panty Paris Hilton 
and irritants in the history of cinema, would eventually abdicate his flattery to marry the charming Andy McDowell. It is one of the many nightmares / dreams that fascinate Hollywood and the Americans. 
Just for completeness, yesterday, according to the official event website (http://www.groundhog.org/prediction/), Phil ha dichiarato quanto segue Phil Says Spring is Right Around the Corner!
Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob:
El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict That early spring is on the way.
But when ever! This year, the Chicago Tribune had spoken of the 'warmest winter in the history of the United States: two months of good weather after the early December storm that has shut down all airports in the Midwest, Christmas without snow and so on ... But the groundhog revenge is a dish to be enjoyed cold, even frozen. And with his statements, the rodent damage adds to the mockery!
Here they call him (ironically) Spring Semester, the only thing I know is that since the beginning, has started to snow and the temperature has stabilized at -19 ° C: the fact that we are still clinging to Fahrenheit in a poor degree above zero, does not mean that the food is snow everywhere, because now it is high, we come from all directions, and gradually penetrate into the brain, and prevents you from thinking that this will be to define a rational person whose business is zero, the term blank? And the forecast said that next week we will spend well below the soles of Dr. Fahrenheit. And ugly. All the fault of Lake Michigan. Luckily tonight is the Super Bowl in Miami.
fall into a deep sleep completely nonreactive, they just eat and stay warm watching the snow flakes, near the fireplace. As for the squirrels, who should go to sleep, they turn to the peaceful campus, and if you get close, maybe even bite you. What we have learned? Chip and Dale in hibernation? But when ever ... And other animals? one of my fellow Texan, told me that snakes down there, names that only contain as rattlesnake venom, threats or metaphorical sound like a rattlesnake (Rattlers), the snake of the five steps or seven seconds, they are absolutely harmless to the cause most allergies. In short, little more than snakes. A friend just returned from Miami, told me of his experiences on the reef at the poolside Atlantic. His physique, abundant, making it an attractive prey for any living carnivore who hangs out under water, but the shark that says he has not met if the yarn is not even a smear, along with a lady and her children had fun watching a bunch of barracuda, who once ate a cow (always and invariably that cattle) in two minutes (never a second more or less). Probably, under the sea, they give you lessons on Nutrictional Facts humans, or teach you that their diet makes them fat but inedible. But the manta that he had probably forgotten crossed quills at home ... In short, Tex, Sergio Leone, John Wayne: all nonsense. Look, I just say that piranhas and alligators are man's best friend. Years and years of biology, geography ... antianimalista a conspiracy that increases the sense of fear in which, according to Michael Moore, we are surrounded by a Corporation. In other words, conscious dogs and cats, canaries and goldfish is they who drive the neo-imperialist strategy. And I, in a revival of old hobbies, I have a litter of Betta Splendens , you never know.
But back to the ripe fruit of evolution, that we, the rational animals, particularly in this case to 'homo sapiens americanus communis, analyzed the habitat of the university campus, during preletargica. 
in western ede) stand out among the top five, the wide range of Irish names, many surnames as first names used : Logan, Parker, Carter, Kennedy (the latter for girls), then there are states and cities, all female (Savannah, Brooklyn, Peyton, Dakota, Madison, Montana - v'immmaginate the psychological effect of finding a ico days Basilicata? there are always some abbreviations, Bases, Silica, Cathy), there are also unexpected names such as: Hunter (Hunter), Maddox (who knows medicine for the stomach), Brody (masculine), while in the next several years girls respond to those who call Alyssa, Aaliyah, Cadence (!), Skylar, MacKenna, there are challenging names like Trinity, Faith, Hope (but there is neither Love nor Charity ...). There are all the evangelists except Mark. The only Italian name is Janet, but I think it is a distortion. In any case, save one, in abbreviated form: the five members of my department are together sixteen letters. The full name is used only by mothers to blame the children, "William Washington Armstrong, look what you've done! "Sure, you'd expect Oprah, Nicole, Hillary, George ... but missing its celebrities. But the celebrity will be discussed later. If you want to remove them a little 'magic, translate their names: Who are James Brown, Tom Hanks, Daniel Bruno, Robert Hope, Judith Garland, James Taylor, Paul Simon , John Ford, Anthony Regina, Tom Cruise, Renzo Bird, Sara Stone, Edward Potato Laura Farm, Stephanie Swift, Bobo Guglielmi? Charm of the English language!
And, speaking of celebrities, expect For 2007, the third son of Julia Roberts (in addition to the twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, after Julia Roberts played her in Italian, nice), the third son of Tiger Woods (poetically, of the Tiger Woods) and the first of Lindsay Davenport (sofa), all scheduled for June.
And so I am not surprised in meeting Brianna, Delaney, Reagan, Mackenzie, right in the face to face I gave two lectures to students (freshman ) on campus. Nothing that a simple change, a favor for a friend. I have to say, but I have received authoritative confirmation by the natives, that the image of the classroom was very similar to that of a first year of high school: do you think of "Goodbye, Mr. Holland" just to understand each other? One mother told me: "in fact the school is done for fun, you know, kind of getting drunk, making silly things, and then High Schools here are very different, then the top college at least serves to make all equal, people who come from different schools from different states "including Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Texas. Maine ...
Both reasons seem reasonable, and explain many things: first, because in fact the curriculum, which involves one or more majors and one or more minors,
can understand (with) materials engineering, medicine, philosophy, literature Irish ancient economy, and end that you are a pre-med, and send you to Mexico (honest!, which is more candid to say "I swear, believe me") with the title of doctor and coat, and maybe even save some lives , having studied only general biology and chemistry, but not knowing anything about anatomy, pathology, or whatever you know you man. the way, remember that in the last series of Happy Days, Fonzie taught in high school and in fact it was not clear when Richie, Potsie and Ralph had left high school to college? Of course, this does not apply everywhere, but if you want a fun caricature (but not much), the average school education in the U.S., you have to rent the DVD Napoleon Dynamite, can be found in Italy, but at least you have to see it twice because the first sight will seem absurd. This they did, that the Americans, is not ours. No evil injury-European.
matter so supple, Introduction to Philosophy I, was divided (based on pure randomness
bureaucratic) into two classes, totally independent of each other and both made up of 31 freshman of both sexes ( strange: no claim of freshwoman , at a university in which some famous monologues represent the last century has become a point of pride and conflict). Here's my small experience. In both classes, the scene was the same and the same script and actors.
1. A small mountain man in the back row, with limited language skills, but instead a member of the football team, and since we are talking about the Irish , that a stadium of 100,000 people, has to be someone who knows her on (sports): the system forces him to study philosophy in order to remain on the team (think black boy playing the drum in the school band Mr. Holland to play on the football team? He died in Vietnam .. . by the way). The student's attitude was "I'm sorry if they are here, but it's not my fault "
2. One row below, the middle and is what it feels like the coolest ( cool ) of the world, and tries to prove it rumbling in all ways possible, making payment to the prof. in order to disrupt the lesson and / or attract the attention of
3. the vacant-eyed blonde, masking 20kb intelligence, and that is a front line in the row next ; on the eyes, the smile and the whole budget of default of the girl, nothing to say, seems to have been thrown there by the stage of Miss Ohio: I think that she "no games" seem silly, but who can get inside a neuron?
4. in the first row is the nerd with old clothes and goggles, we guesses all the answers and in the end you do not know which questions to answer
5. beside him, the girl with the sunny smile, but the philosophy does not want to know anything, nods as if he understood everything, is at the end of the lesson and you down with a question like, but Plato was a Catholic?
6. To the left of the chair, two guys who have long lost all hope of understanding the lessons, a test stoically taking notes (ironically he does not know what that means, even if we talk about ancient philosophy), the other dedicated to the pictorial representation the female body, hidden under the hood of his sweatshirt, both almost horizontally on their chairs.
7. On the opposite side, the student random , capable of anything with good intentions (for example, getting up to go to the blackboard and write what "he" suddenly realized the benefit of the class and without that no one tells 'he asked.)
Around these characters fixed, rotate the two types of basic human gregarious and solitary, or if you want ,
in philosophical language, the Community and individualism, which fill the gaps, to the number of 29, generally good, well-educated, maybe someone is wearing pajamas and slippers comes directly from the dorm. There remain two, probably the most intelligent, a boy and a girl, she invariably placed on the left (the girls always tend to be on the left of the prof.) And the right guy, their limit is that they are very shy, characters or geographical origin. I feel that would be made for each other if they were not terrified by the idea of \u200b\u200beye contact. discussing with my colleague, the next day, we can immediately identify who they are, despite not having been present at any time in the same class (he was out of town , so why I was there), which seems to show that there are two laws, the first that brings certain characters to be distributed geographically in the same way (the law "at the bottom of the last," that is the first grade and above) and the second for which acquired the site in the first lesson you can not change it anymore: we are not Val-Mart.
This is still the world of raw freshmen, that next year will become sophomores , whose clothing is worn when they appear juniors, and that will make their development in knowledge and the parallel decline in clothing as seniors. We salute finally graduates after four years as . Here begins what is properly the university, but it is a difficult subject and, in fact, I cite an authoritative source "here in
Notre Dame who is the university really are undergrad." So put aside Grad Students, Law School, Medical School and many more. Now, it's good to know that if the 'high school is the infancy of the American high school, the college , or at least the first two years, as discussed above, it is adolescence, so as any teenager, the young student tries to show its strength and its value, opportune et importune , greek hero through the two arts: the dialectic and the power, in short, written and verbal conflict (law and journalism) and sports. There now have been achieved equal opportunities, if we exclude that the girl is given the exclusive
football while the girls it almost completely (no one is surprised) the procurement of cheerleading (ie support the team on the sideline, with appropriate songs, accompanied by the band). And then two points seem important. The study and those extracurricular activities.
The thread that binds together the first and the other is the duel (remember Noon? ): the American student can just raise your hand and asks you a question ("Can I ask a question? Shoot, shoot , says the prof.) Hitting almost always the point. You have in front of" the demand faster in the Midwest. "and think for a moment, that the school can be reborn in Athens in the north of Indianapolis. It is also true that if you make a counter-question, discover huge chasms of ignorance, no matter who has everything the knowledge? "The important thing, with the knowledge, you know how to use" is the fundamental principle of American pragmatism and Google. There will always be an area of \u200b\u200bhuman knowledge
where you Idiot , without the worry of high school general European (which is not seen, but peeps in Italian brain when you least expect it), live peaceful and at the right time to fill that gap. The only real problem is with students who do not want to fill the gap, but simply to fight for the sake of it. Those are really irritating. They are young and willing arrogant that they peck in the western suffered their bullet, or if they are stupid and bad, you throw them against the gang from the suburbs. Few, thankfully, and after all, the epic of American education is precisely the achievement of these subjects. We have succeeded Sidney Poitiers, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sean Connery and, several times, Robin Williams. In the meantime, however, the duel between the teacher and the student is dismissed and the class is automatically split into pro, con and bettors. The student immediately after class, going to buy his "Nietzsche for Dummies" or seek help Wikipedia . His motto is the prayer of an ascetic American "God, make me patient, But hurry." Having established that Julian 's
Apostate is not Justinian, the battle can begin: the first touchdown is yours, but the game is long. And the rules are fixed, whether of boys of girls, because in both the Heart of the Old West. That has specific rules. Just read Do not Squat With Yer Spurs On! A Cowboy's Guide To Life, Texas Bix Bender. Here is the code of the West: "Write it in your heart. Restagli faithful, and he will remain faithful. Asks you and give you more honesty, courage, loyalty, generosity and justice." In this battle, brave and loyal, you know that "there never was a horse that has not been tamed, but not a man who has not been knocked out of the saddle," that "the length of a conversation says nothing about the volume of the brain "and that" no matter who said it, and if you can not believe it 'absurd'. Instead, "The reviews are wise by experience, and a lot of experience comes from bad judgments" that "speaks softly, speak slowly, and not say too much." At the same time, "do not be angry with those who know more 'about you: not' his fault". With this and other rules of wisdom and conduct, in the end you face, whether as a sweatshirt or watered-port flip-flops, the impassive face of a poker player, the security of a bounty hunter, who hides a secret , which may be his salvation or his end. Every American in nature preserves in the depths of the mystery of Humphrey Bogart behind the narrow slits of blue Clint Eastwood. It matters little if it 'a girl.
Journalism the duel is conducted by other means, is the great cultural activities and aspirations of every young idealistic American, who was born lawyer and / or journalist. The intersection of law and journalism or investigative journalism is one of the favorite dishes served at the American cinema. And the college is the place where, at least the first two activities may be conducted in an end in itself, having fun, for Their Own Sake , as they say, and without too much damage. Unfortunately, the lawyer and journalist, once off campus, they become individuals with the worst reputation in the country, due largely to the cynicism required to make their way through the crowd, there is an infinite series of film on the theme: Home, Hero, Mr. Deeds, to name a few. Lawyers are a target of one of the most witty strips of the moment, non sequitur. For some of them should resurrect the old Bounty Killers. Of course, if you do not want to be a shark, you could always do the hunger as a pro bono lawyer , and starve in Brooklyn complete with a diploma from Harvard Law School, or be the hero of the novels by Grisham or protagonist of true stories like Edward R. Murrow. But it takes strong.
I remain of the idea at the time, that the function of college at least here and at least the first two years, is to fill the gaps, to shape a national education, perhaps only the engineers must now begin to study seriously (but 'then earn immediately and seriously), and acquire a certain esprit de corps that somehow manages to change the structure of anthropological wimps and Barbarians and their female counterparts (for this distinction, I refer to two articles by Terrence Moore, WIMPs (spineless) and Barbarians and Heather's Compromise , very sharp though perhaps with some cliche 'a little' assume the role of the weaker sex in society ', are available on the Internet, just search with Google). 
In its content, basic education plan, with a very familiar story in crisis (maybe we'll talk again), do not seem to know how to get on, at least in the humanities . Carry as Chris Spellman writes, on ' Observer last week, with a brilliant argument that makes the situation peacefully. 
"It's a common scene early in the semester: students at Their computers, shuffling around Their classes, Sometimes adding or dropping a course Another. In an attempt to Fulfill the University literature, music or history requirement, a student will scroll through the course descriptions searching for an interesting, or - at the very least - easy, class. It was through this search that a friend alerted me of certain disconcerting choices being offered to fulfill those requirements. One such class fulfilling the literature requirement in the English Department is called "Decadent Modernity" (ENGL 20405). A glace at the course description reveals that the course aims "to explore visions of decadence spanning the last two centuries and more." Students are instructed to "bring a tolerance for the grotesque and for authors who deliberately challenge deeply held Western attitudes about morality and values." Several "literary texts, visual arts and modern cinema" are to be considered, but the "conceptual groundwork" is to be laid with Freud and Nietzsche.
I choose this particular class - there are several others - because I feel it well exemplifies many of the humanities courses being offered at universities across the nation. These courses appeal to students' anti-authoritarian tendencies to draw them, ironically, to a not particularly tolerant, alternative orthodoxy. "Sticking
it to the man," as some have put it, does not necessarily imply liberation, for what if the new "man" who replaces the old one brings even worse tyranny? There must always be a "man," an authority, and those who claim to free us from all authority in reality bind us to their own. Yes, rejecting traditional values sounds enticing, but this proposition raises an i mportant question: what new set of values will replace the old ones we are so emphatically encouraged to abandon?
(...) An education such as this, of course, prepares us, in a strange but certain way, to be the leaders of the Twenty-First century, to carry on the torch -there was a torch somewhere, wasn't there? - and, in general terms, to achieve the new, recasted American dream: becoming filthy rich without getting caught."
Come al solito, non basta qualche aforisma per traghettarci happily beyond the 'good and evil. And then you end up almost always to stay in mid-stream, if not the shifting sands.
America is completing an inventory of past transgression of which he is tired and that put it on the ropes. One of the advantages of college is that it still has the ability to withstand the failure of most current generation shortage teacher, at least judging by the programs. The college, with its extra-curricular activities (band, sports, orchestras, choirs, activities of solidarity), but also for its intrinsic structure of socialization and commitment, has the potential to allow young students who have painted before passing the limits educational, but above all, may be an opportunity to rebuild a web of meaningful connections that many kids today do not have behind them.
With all due respect to my grandmother, I've never been thrilled with the idea of \u200b\u200ba "regime of exercise and I am not fond of the events in which the demonstration of physical strength to demonstrate the value of a political cause. All too often ends up is a show of strength without any content, and strength, without goals, you may end up hurt. Here, however, not talking about the political value of the exercise, which inspires the order, obedience, sense of authority ... maybe it 's so, to me, however, is unconvincing.
I seem to see Here's something I look different, which affects the daily life of those guys that I found myself in class and who do not share a common faith, but a way to live together. The great thing about college is that you are alive, must in some cases for two years, sometimes Separated from your family, although studies in the same city. The mothers are often the most aggressive in supporting the system. "At least Bob brings the laundry at home!" "Because her mother is a spineless." Every so often we only see a 
father who secretly goes to see his daughter, who scolds him harshly and then to apologize in front of the Friends of the weaknesses of their parents.
In college you can be yourself, "doing things with others. "Doing things together, five girls dressed in the same way they run on snow and by involving other road to follow, a sense of community that is embedded in American culture, awakening the experience of belonging, solidarity, friendship. Prepare for life in family and in wider society. Requires a balance you get with wisdom.
When walking around campus, I happen to think a few times to Magnificent Seven, the American gymnastics team at the Atlanta Olympics, 1996: I owe it to my sister Elizabeth's favor letting me 
memorize pictures of what happened on that occasion. United States and Russia were playing the team gold in the final. Russia was ahead because he was stronger, Dominique Moceanu and Shannon Miller, the most talented American, had been lost to road remained Allison Kerri Strug, the oldest group (19 years), but unfortunately, in the previous step had sustained an injury He was confident that with his performance at the end of his swing, he would have broken his ankle. Sure enough it blows, but to do what he would be forever defined the Vault and get a point, you must not think of the consequences is not something you can do pro forma , an act of presence. You have to do everything as if nothing will happen, even though you know that after that run behind the jump, you wait, for sure, pain, renunciation of the fruits of years of sacrifice and the end of your career. After a look at the companions and the coach who had urged to give up, was playing the run, vault, landing with breaking face-smile-grimace. 9, 712. The images of coach Bela Karolyi, who takes away the emotion. 
to do well the accounts, the U.S. would have won anyway, because the Russians who were mistaken after their jumps. But they could not do the accounts. It was little more than a decade ago. "Spark Plug", which obviously could not participate in individual competitions for the next few days, devotes much time to his family, his brother and sister (also addicted to the gym) and his friends. "My parents taught me to be a good person and to value education," says what is now 'a beautiful girl of 30 years, blaming a certain coldness of her boyfriend in this field and in religious practice ( she is an observant Jew). His biography says that after "The Vault" has completed his studies at UCLA, "they can not compete in professional competitions in gymnastics, he worked as team manager, a role that has relegated behind the scenes of his world. went on to Stanford. After graduation, he worked first as a teacher in an elementary school near San Francisco, then in a school for 
nurses in Northern California. Then, in 2003, and is ' moved to Washington DC, in 2003. He worked as staff assistant first in ' U.S. Office of Presidential Student Correspondence, then in' Office of the General Counsel in the Treasury Department, and March 2005 is part of Justice Department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention . Meanwhile, he travels frequently to the country, in intervention programs for at-risk youth, explaining the importance of make the right choices in their lives. "He does not forget its history and its events and is dedicated to training young athletes and cooperate with other charities in the health sector. In particular, if invited, go to the hospital to visit children suffering from serious diseases. Just to make them smile. His phone and 'readily available and the money for the trip, if necessary put them in his pocket . So he wrote a successful book, which became a classic American children. Of course, entitled "Heart of Gold." For the same reason, a few years earlier, had published the ironic "Landing on My Feet" and had shot some spot where he joked about his "adventure". I suggest you review the first and second jump on YouTube, version of sdemerald .
I was like Kerri freshmen year at UCLA can develop some hidden talents that no one would have supposed: Do you remember the final scene in Mr. Holland, the girl who felt frustrated because 'he could not play the his clarinet after years of practice and become 'the governor of his state, the iconoclastic troublemakers who after the death of a fellow change his life ... and all to play or cheer on the American Symphony the professor who has devoted her life, with its high and low to give its students a compass. I found many young students willing to give up their personal symphony to be real men and real women to teach them to walk with their feet (perhaps by giving up their ankles).
Not many people know that as a child Henry Winkler, better known as Arthur Herbert (!) Fonzarelli, suffered from dyslexia, a disease then not easily diagnosed. Did not read well and tried to solve its educational problems by improvising in a theatrical manner. After some years, on the set of Happy Days , continued to have problems with the script, and this led him to develop a gesture all own, which made him famous around the world. After the sitcom , married, and one of his sons was diagnosed with a serious form of dyslexia. Undergo any tests, he realized that this was his real problem. Since then, and this year has made sixty years, has become a famous and respected author of short stories for children with dyslexia. In every American harbors a sense of recognition to the community that supported him and the desire to repay those around him, often devoting his time doing what he does best. At this time, one of the librarians of the university is putting in order in the next room, the library of the university center I live in and that he attended, for passion and friendship. In this operation, which has unearthed an impressive number of books, hidden in all the crevices of the house, spends his free time, for someone who does his job is never too much, and in turn help you by one of his children, happy as a clam to participate in the work that the pope 'plays with passion. In this social context, surrounded by real friends, an American boy is raised, and really can not imagine what you can give. America has these resources, and not just the one on which this week is uncertain Kathleen Dévényi in cover story of Newsweek ("Girls Gone Wild") to about the influence of people like Paris Hilton (which I have here the pleasure to introduce 
in pajama-party version), Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan (remember the cute freckled girl in the remake of The Parent Trap ? ) and Nicole Richie: "They Seem To Be Everywhere and They May Not be wearing underwear. Tweens adore Them and teens envy them". But the real question is, raw "Are we raising a generation of 'prosti-tots'?"
A woman is asking this question on a weekly tradition of unquestioned liberal. "There is no need to be evangelical Christians have given their vote to Bush to understand that in America we have lost our values reference, the family, morality, life, religion, social justice, law, friendship, altruism and a sense of community, simplicity, "says David Callahan, The Moral Center in recent ( questionable in many parts of the book, when you need to determine what is' moral), but very interesting analysis. Paper abnormal, even here, if we want to be precise, the label would be "left liberal", but we are still faced with these virtual membership?
Often the Americans tend to oppose the extremes, and this is a fact, not a fantasy: they introduced us to the bipolar system and thanks to their many philosophical articles, in Italian, are built on the form "x versus y". Of course, every culture highlights some aspects of our being human and maybe it obscures others. This should lead us to rediscover the cultural relevance of balance, all European (greek in its primitive intuition) and Catholic in the actual practice of 'et ... et , combined with a sense of the free gift and gratitude that we instead We lost, unfortunately too often in religious matters (the sacraments are the source of Christian life and in a sense, no matter the company singer - are the first not to believe -; sometimes, however, going to Mass is like a meeting of building, in terms of warmth). Here we will look into eyes, greets you, you will participate in the affairs of others, instead of doing battle sometimes very theoretical, people who for whatever reason can not receive Communion, should be in line to receive the blessing. And I assure you the creeps seeing how the whole church participates in prayer, the pain of those who can not approach the Eucharist. The people, in general, is not left alone. Also because the solitude here knows how to be mortally squalid and cruel, like the one that led to deaths absurd: James Dean, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Rothko, Jimie Hendrix, Freddie Prinze, Carole Landis , Elvis Presley, Harvey Firestone, John Belushi, Johnny Ace, Donny Hathaway, just a few days ago, Nikki Bacharach, daughter of the promising young artist famous Burt and Angie Dickinson (as I write is the news of the probable suicide of Anne-Nicole Smith, called the heir to Marilyn), which generates schizoid personality disorder, disorders of 'power, somehow all the more incredible diseases recorded in the DSM IV to be found in specific cases between Hollywood and Manhatthan (John Lennon did not leave New York from her room painted white, and when it came out once ...) and Finally, lurking behind the "business" of the queens of trash, that every day they need to invent a new one, to survive in the newspapers. (For those interested, 
refer among others to Steven Stack, Celebrities and Suicide: A Taxonomy and Analysis, 1948-1983 , in American Sociological Review, Vol 52, No. 3 (Jun., 1987) , pp. 401-412). Please note that it is not the usual story of satanic rock (there can be too, but I say, what sense and by what criterion the wonderful Dakota Fanning, actress prodigy talent for sure, after I Am Sam, to shoot a scene of which is the subject of explicit sex, ten years, with the approval of both parents and all rigorously shown on film?) In short, there is an obligation on it's cultural soil that retains grace and beauty? In this case, the complaint or the complaint are probably shocked a way that you must go, even if it risks turning into heroes some deviant personality. There are those who work in this direction. The important thing is that rend their garments do not become a comfortable habit. The question is whether and what can be done in the positive. Those who today are emerging in this country as Secular humanists, with the help of cultural and religious traditions of Europe (though, and I'm sorry, the Protestantism of our continent is in most cases a field of study that a religious practice), that can meet the actor Sidney Poitier, in his recent autobiography, called "The Measure of a Man," the only guarantee that the extremists, the constant noise from the trash and from self. However, the choice is not 'between conformists in slippers and without lingerie queens, both roles required in this collective psychodrama that gave dignity to the literary gossip and musical value to the screams of drunk or hysterical. Just last night I dreamed that a Notre Dame professor asked me if I knew the most important figure in Italian culture: Maria De Filippi. Leaving aside the personal pathologies, the disasters of Italian football, the public correspondence of our politicians and the excommunication of San Remo.
Western culture is not dead, for many ways enviable lives of a physical health compared to past history: view from afar is a true golden age, in the eyes of the psychiatrist is instead a borderline personality , unsafe to human and spiritual level. Thank God arise, need, balanced people, people able to face the people with honesty, to face itself, which gives weight to the words and behaviors: people of character. Which risks the hard way. What has stopped trying, because he has found a center of moral gravity and day by day trying to make it permanent , with the flexibility of wisdom. Surely, to save the world, not just a little love, not just move on to the "Coke Side of Life," as the last of the famous soft drink advertising.
We should start to think perhaps less in terms of virtual advertising and more in terms of real life, because, as diceil title of a book by Chris Goodfrey, right guard of the New York Giants, winning Super Bowl XXI, " That's where I live. " The "real truth", as they say in my part is that we must go back to using the vocabulary of the real world, not that of the Savoy, but that of real life, real people, real property, the realities that are obvious hand. The people are real, God is real, real people and establish relationships Real, where "real men do cry, but rejoice. Alone is very difficult to achieve all this, how would the coach of a football team, "stay focus'd," and we must remain focused on people, find people that allow you to "stay focused" (Lynn Johnston, Canadian heir Charles Schulz, creator of the family saga For Better and For Worse). struck me that in all the many books that I mentioned, the authors thank the dedication 1. parents for what they have taught and / or 2. the wife or husband supported them in their undertaking.
I, frankly, I tremble as I write what I write. Because I think in terms of reality and only in this so I think creatively in terms of hope. Although I know that real men do cry . You who read, free to think whatever you want and act accordingly.
In my opinion, the American college is a space for a cultural challenge. Not unique. It is a challenge that can take advantage of wisdom small concrete action by the EU and you do not get to utopia. For us and for them.
