Discourse and bias: A corpus-assisted discourse analysis on Donald Trump in The Washington PostAlm, Beatrice January 2024 (has links)
This study explores the evolution of discourse surrounding Donald Trump as depicted in The Washington Post, and examines potential biases in the newspaper's articles across two distinct periods: 2015-2017, from when Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election until his inauguration, and 2022-2024, from when he announced his candidacy for the 2024 election until the data collection date. Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis, the study investigates keywords and their collocating adjectival modifiers within the two corpora to reveal patterns in the discourse and potential bias around Trump. The results show that during the 2015-2017 period, the discourse predominantly centered on Trump's rivalry with Hillary Clinton, characterized by personal attacks and recurring themes of corruption, authoritarianism, and widespread protests against his presidency. In contrast, the 2022-2024 period's discourse focused more on Trump's legal challenges, particularly regarding the mishandling of classified information and doubts about electoral integrity, indicating a shift in discourse. The findings do not explicitly demonstrate bias towards Trump. However, the discussion highlights the potential for bias to subtly manifest itself through language choices, issue framing, and narrative selection.

Previous issue date: 2006-10-11 / Woman who took revenge of the husband by killing her own children. The feature
of the character envisaged here is the overmuch dependence that this woman
cherishes towards man. In the second place, the analysis of a clinical case of a 40-
years old woman who called herself a Medea of life when she looked for therapy.
Finally, Winnicott`s Theory of Human Maturation as a theoretic approach useful to
understand the case in question. As a result, the articulation of these points points
out to the importance of winnicottian clinic as an alternative care to patients with
flaws in primitive development, i.e., in preedipic stage, when is at stake the
continuity of the being, not sexuality / O presente trabalho parte de três pontos principais. Em primeiro lugar, o mito de
Medéia a mulher que mata os filhos para se vingar do marido. O aspecto
enfocado na figura da personagem é a excessiva dependência que essa mulher
nutre em relação ao homem. Em segundo, a análise de uma mulher de 40 anos
que se autodenominou "uma Medéia da vida" ao procurar terapia, utilizando para
isso o método clínico. E, finalmente, a Teoria do Amadurecimento Humano de D.
W. Winnicott como abordagem teórica para compreender o caso em questão. O
resultado da articulação desses pontos aponta para a importância da clínica
winnicottiana como uma alternativa para cuidados com pacientes com falhas no
desenvolvimento primitivo, ou seja, na fase pré-edípica, quando o que está em
jogo é a continuidade do ser e não a sexualidade

As Forças de Operações Especiais dos Estados Unidos e a intervenção no Afeganistão: um novo modo de guerra americano? / United States Special Operations Forces and the intervention in Afghanistan: a new American way of war?Jorge, Bernardo Wahl Gonçalves de Araújo 23 March 2009 (has links)

Previous issue date: 2009-03-23 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The initial reaction of the George W. Bush administration to the violent acts of
september 11, 2001 was to attack the Taliban government in Afghanistan, aiming to bring
down the Mullah Omar regime and to set up bases that would serve to the hunting of al-
Qaida, organization which had that country as its sanctuary to plan its actions. The capital
Cabul, as well as another regions in the countryside, were quickly conquered, theoretically
because the american military plan, based on Special Operations Forces, air power and in the
use of a local allie: the Northern Alliance. The supposed success of the United States would
be the result, according to the official speech, of the military transformation that was being
encouraged by the Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The afghan model was considered a
new american way of war and the Special Operations Forces, inside the context of global
war on terror , went on to the center of the american strategic conception. However, after
seven years of the invasion, the afghan situation is not good, so it is possible to question the
validity and the apparent inovation of that american military actions / A reação inicial da administração de George W. Bush aos atentados de onze de
setembro de 2001 foi atacar o governo Talebã no Afeganistão, visando a derrubar o regime do
pregador religioso Omar do poder e a estabelecer bases que serviriam para a caçada à al-
Qaeda, que tinha naquele país um santuário para planejar suas ações. A capital Cabul, assim
como outras regiões no interior afegão, foram conquistadas rapidamente, isto teoricamente em
função do plano militar estadunidense, baseado no emprego de Forças de Operações
Especiais, poderio aéreo e na utilização de um parceiro local: a Aliança do Norte. O suposto
sucesso dos Estados Unidos seria decorrente, conforme o discurso oficial norte-americano, da
transformação militar que estava sendo promovida pelo secretário de Defesa Donald
Rumsfeld. O chamado modelo afegão foi considerado um novo modo de guerra americano
e, a partir de então, dentro do contexto de guerra ao terror , as Forças de Operações
Especiais passaram a ocupar, como nunca antes na história dos EUA, um lugar por demais
proeminente dentro da concepção estratégica de Washington. Todavia, passados cerca de sete
anos dos movimentos iniciais de invasão, a situação afegã não é das melhores, o que leva ao
questionamento da validade e aparente inovação daquelas ações militares americanas

Raicakacaka : 'walking the road' from colonial to post-colonial mission : the life, work and thought of the Reverend Dr. Alan Richard Tippett, Methodist missionary in Fiji, anthropologist and missiologist, 1911-1988Dundon, Colin George, History, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 2000 (has links)
This thesis contributes to the literature on the history of the transition from colonial to post-colonial in the Pacific. It explores the contribution of an individual to this transition, Rev. Dr. Alan Richard Tippett, as a focus for illuminating the struggles in the transitions and the development of post-colonial theory for mission. Alan Richard Tippet sailed to Fiji as an ordained Methodist missionary in 1941. He was a product of a Methodist parsonage and heir to the evangelical and revival tendencies of the Cornish Methodism of his family. He began his missionary career steeped in the colonial visions of the mission enterprise fostered by the Board of Missions of his church. He was eager to study anthropology but was given no chance to do so before he left Australia. He pursued his study of anthropology and history in Fiji and began to question the paternalism of colonial theory. Early in his time in Fiji he made the decision to join with those who sought change and the death of colonial mission. In his work as a circuit minister, theological educator, writer and administrator he worked to this end. He developed his talent for writing and research, encouraging the Fijian church to take pride in its past achievements. He became alienated from the administrators of the Australasian Methodist Board of Missions and could find no place in the Australian church. In 1961 he left Fiji and began a course of study at the newly formed Institute of Church Growth in Eugene, Oregon. This led him into the orbit of Donald McGavran and the newly emerging church growth theory of Christian mission. Although his desire was to enhance the study of post-colonial mission in Australia he could not find a position to support him even after he gained a PhD in anthropology from the University of Oregon. After research in the Solomon Islands he returned to the USA to assist Donald McGavran in the formation of the now famous School of World Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena. While at Fuller he exercised considerable influence in the development of missiological theory and especially the application of anthropological studies in post-colonial mission. Although he contributed to both the ecumenical and evangelical debates on mission, he found himself caught up in the bitter debates of the 1960s and 1970s between them and, despite all efforts to maintain links, lost contact with the ecumenical wing. Retiring to Australia in 1977 he found that his world reputation was not recognised in his native land. He continued his work apace, although he was deeply saddened by the ignorance he found in Australia and by his continued rejection. He finally donated his library to St. Mark???s National Theological Centre. He died in 1988 in Canberra.

Responding to Alienating Trends in Modern Education and Civilization by Remembering our Responsibility to Metaphysics and Ontological Education: Answering to the Platonic Essence of EducationKarumanchiri, Arun 01 January 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores the most basic purpose of education and how it can be advanced. To begin to analyze this fundamental area of concern, this thesis associates notions of education with notions and experiences of truth and authenticity, which vary historically and culturally. A phenomenological analysis, featuring the philosophy of Heidegger, uncovers the basic conditions of human experience and discourse, which have become bent upon technology
and jargon in the West. He draws on Plato's account of the 'essence of education' in the Cave Allegory, which underscores human agency in light of truth as unhiddenness. Heidegger calls for ontological education, which advances authenticity as it preserves individuals as codisclosing, historical beings.

Redirection: Using Career Development Theory to Interpret the Volunteer Activities of RetireesCook, Suzanne L. 30 August 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine formal volunteering among retirees in order to explore whether their volunteer experiences represent an extension of their career in the paid workforce or whether their volunteer activities represent a completely new direction, and how this influences their career self-concept, as interpreted through Donald Super’s life-span, life-space theory of career development. This study employed a developmental mixed-method design. In Phase 1, qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 participants to better understand retirees’ volunteer experiences. Phase 1 informed the design of an instrument for the Phase 2 survey which examined the issues among a larger sample of 214 retirees. The Phase 2 results supported the Phase 1 findings and indicated that many retirees sought an extension of career in volunteer activities in that they used similar skills and knowledge. Study participants also displayed a desire for lifelong learning.
Retirees relinquished their paid-work career, took on the retiree and volunteer roles, and integrated these roles within their career self-concept to create a new sense of self. These results indicated that the retirees had entered a new stage of life, qualitatively different from ‘retirement’. To better reflect the experiences of these retirees, it was proposed that Donald Super’s life-span, life-space theory of career development be extended to include Redirection. This theorizing is consistent with the finding that retirees both wanted to and are able to integrate previous paid work elements as well as seek out lifelong learning opportunities within their volunteer activities. This study demonstrates that the volunteer role in the lives of retirees can lead to personal renewal and reshaping of the career self-concept, or what is labeled as the stage of Redirection. This study also has implications for volunteer management, retirement planning and social policy, and may be of interest to volunteer managers, nonprofit organizations, career counsellors, financial planners, retirement planning consultants, life coaches and policy planners.

Grade 12 learners' narratives of career choice and guidance at a South African high school / Grade twelve learners' narratives of career choice and guidance at a South African high schoolSefora, Sharonrose 02 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the current research was to explore the narrative career experiences of Grade 12 learners as well as the constructs of the Life-Career Rainbow. Knowledge of how these constructs relate to one another added to the career literature as it relates to Grade 12 learners’ experiences of career guidance/development and served as a guide for the career guidance/counselling process. The main findings indicated that the past experiences of learners relating to subject choices highlighted that there is dissatisfaction with certain subjects not being included in the schools’ subject choices for Grades 10 to 12. At this phase, learners were found to be uncertain about their future plans. The learners’ present experiences in career crystallising indicated that they are in the process of exploring and crystallising their career choices. In terms of future employment options, learners indicated interests that fitted within most career types while other learners were undecided about their future aspirations. The career types included sports, entertainment, financial, the military and medicine/nursing. The findings demonstrate consistency with previous national research on adolescents’ occupational aspirations. Influences which were found to be prominent were personality, interests and abilities, parents, friends, teachers, schooling experiences, financial support, availability of jobs, work experience, and opportunities to work overseas. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
