ARCHIVE - My 'Are you for RU 486? Are you euphoric?' project appears to be impossible to open as an attachment.

Wait and wait, it still won't open. The government's representative here on earth wins again. Academia rules. Academia is mind control. Very sneaky technique.

ARCHIVE - My concept maps

Tabitha Brown — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:11:14 -0700

Rick,

My internet crashed at home so I am using the piloted internet from a friend's laptop outside the (now closed) computer lab. I have four concept maps that I could not figure out how to convert to importable documents, or Windows wouldn't let me. I thought about leaving them outside yer office but that's closed too!

I guess I will stop by tomorrow and slip them under your door. Then I will try to contact you to see if you got them. Thanks.

ARCHIVE - My project: Iran's Nuclear Ambitions

Nate Midgley — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 16:51:45 -0700

Here's my overview since it won't work as an attachment:

Overview of Maps:

The two maps that I composed capture the two leading oppositional arguments of the Iranian nuclear acquisition conflict. The first, "The West's point of view", outlines the reasons why the west, led by the United States, is antagonistic to any type of Iranian enrichment program. Even if the Iranians claim the project to be peaceful, the argument follows, by their very nature they are likely to ignore rationality or negotiations and still pursue the "weaponization" of nuclear material. While this may very well be the case (as outlined in the other map, "Iran's point of view"), the west's argument is that this would pose a serious threat to the "global community". What they mean by "global community", or the west, is essentially the international order developed by 500 years of imperialism. Today nuclear diplomacy is one of the main avenues through which today's "global community" pursue's its imperial ambitions. However, this "global community", for relatively obvious reasons, does not put it's argument in those terms. At an essentialist level, the west's argument is based on the discourse of orientalism, which characterizes the 'oriental', in this case the Iranian, as a child-like/unrational being who only responds to aggression or material reward. At a particularist level, the west's argument centers around Iran's obvious "anti-American"/"anti-Israeli" sentiment, without providing an argument that delineates from its essentialist portrayal of the 'oriental' and his relgion, Islam. These arguments, though largely unproven, set the stage for UN Security Council sanctions and possible war. On the other side of the coin, Iran's claims that its intentions are "peaceful" are just as deceiving. Don't believe that Iran only wants nuclear energy; it already has enough oil to power it's economy for years to come, and because of this wouldn't spend so much time on the nuclear issue if it was just for energy. Rather, Iran wants a nuclear weapon so that the West has to engage it diplomatically rather than militarily. In this sense, Iran could point to the west's differentiated dealings with fellow "Axis of Evil" countries, North Korea and Iraq.

ARCHIVE - Framing Freedom: Final Project

Andrew Olmsted — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 16:24:20 -0700

Hi,

Here is my final project work. The powerpoint presentation is too large to post here so I will just post all the slides as individual attachments. It seems the pictures are first, then the mindmpaps, then my paper, called "Framing Freedom.doc."

Thanks for a great quarter! -AWO

Carmella Fleming — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 00:38:12 -0700

So here is my final project. I have attached the maps to this post. If you would prefer to see it embeded in a word document and attached I can do that.

and don't forge to read the footnotes.

you'll notice there is no discussion or conclusion section.. I did that on purpose.

It was nice having class with y'all- I would love to recieve comments but the quarter is pretty much over so I understand...
