"Drunken Youth, Deportees, and Moral Panic in Tonga: Excavating the ‘Natural Man’ in Oceania"

In this paper, I consider media accounts of the 2006 civil riots in Nukuʻalofa, Tonga. Dwelling particularly on how journalists came to repeat the story that it was “drunken youth” and “deportees” from America who were responsible for the destruction which left numerous shops looted and burned and eight people dead, I frame the insertion of ‘the deportees’ into this media narrative with reference to United States immigration policy and within the larger context of late 20th century economic migration from Tonga. I go on to consider the ways in which parallel discourses regarding ‘American deportees’ emerge in other Pacific and Caribbean contexts within a similar time period. Pushing past the shallow representations inherent in journalistic writing, I travel beyond the moral panic about ‘deportees’ and delve into a deeper search to excavate a discursive genealogy of dangerous masculinities upon which journalistic representations – and, often, moral panics more generally - rely. This discursive genealogy includes the identities of the 16th century rogue ‘picaro’, the 19th century Indian ‘thug’, and the 20th century ‘American gangster’. Through a variety of texts, both written and visual, I consider some of the ways in which these discursive identities are connected and speculate whether they might be understood as variations of ‘the Natural Man’, who, to borrow a phrase from Giorgio Agamban, is the “mythologeme” which underwrites the fabled ‘social contract’ between the state and society. I question whether this particular mythologeme of the ‘Natural Man’ has currency in Oceania beyond such journalistic renderings such as the ‘deportee’ moral panic, or whether this mythologeme, like other forms of contemporary political control and social regulation, is imported to justify the (ongoing) presence of state apparatuses designed to reinforce a particular (post)colonial juridical order. I close this paper with an invocation and appeal to Māui, legendary ancestor of the peoples of the sea, and also perhaps the most famous tapu-breaker in Oceania and I wonder how a genealogical return to myth might illuminate a pathway into the past-future of Polynesian youths at ‘home’ and in the diaspora

Learning from service user and carer involvement in clinical psychology training

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build a theoretical model of how and what clinical psychologists learn from service user and carer involvement in their training. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative research design was adopted, and verbatim transcripts of semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 clinical psychologists were analysed using grounded theory methodology. Findings – Findings indicated that clinical psychologists learned from service user and carer involvement in a variety of ways and a preliminary model was proposed, encompassing four main categories: “mechanisms of learning”, “relational and contextual factors facilitating learning”, “relational and contextual factors hindering learning” and “impact”. Research limitations/implications – Further research is required to establish to what extent the current findings may be transferrable to learning from service user and carer involvement in the context of educating professionals from other disciplines. Additionally, participants had limited experiences of carer involvement, and more research in this area specifically would be useful. Practical implications – This study advocates for service user and carer involvement in clinical psychology training, and specific recommendations are discussed, including service user perspectives. Originality/value – Service user and carer involvement has become mandatory in Health Care Professional Council-approved training programmes for mental health professionals, yet if and how learning occurs is poorly understood in this context. This study makes an important contribution in evaluating outcomes of service user and carer involvement in clinical psychology training by advancing theoretical understanding of the learning processes involved.

CONTRACTS--CONSIDERATION-PERFORMANCE OF ONE ALTERNATlVE WHEN THERE IS DISPUTE AS TO WHICH IS OWED

Defendant issued a membership certificate to one Flowers providing for payment of $5000 in case of accidental death or$500 in case of death due to heart disease. Later Flowers was injured in an automobile accident and died an hour afterward. The beneficiary submitted proofs of loss, including a statement of a physician that death was caused by coronary thrombosis. Shock from auto accident about one hour before death. Defendant sent to the beneficiary a draft for $500 clearly stating on its face that the endorsement of the check would be a settlement in full. After cashing the check, the beneficiary sued for an additional$4500; on appeal from judgment for defendant notwithstanding the verdict, held, reversed. Since defendant paid no more than it admitted was due to plaintiff, there was no consideration to support the attempted accord and satisfaction. One justice dissented. Kellogg v.

State of the Union addresses and their impact on popularity and credibility

This is a study of the impact of presidential messages and style upon the American public following the annual State of the Union address. This researcher focused on two similar presidents, Ronald Reagan and William J. Clinton. The State of the Union addresses used were for the years 1982 and 1994, respectively. The impact was measured by the poll results taken before and after each State of the Union speech. A content analysis of each address was done to determine the major themes and messages and to determine which of those messages resulted in increased poll numbers. Additionally, this researcher cited sources which revealed that Reagan did not, in fact, have the high approval ratings of the American public as claimed by the media. Reagan\u27s three sub-systems of discourse are evaluated in the context of the 1982 State of the Union address. Clinton\u27s rhetoric is also evaluated and found to be similar to Reagan\u27s but with higher polling results

Enhancing the Pace and Process of Change: Realizing Outcomes Through Leadership Empathy

Empathy is a key component of transformational leadership and emotional intelligence. Based on the psychotherapy and neuroscience research of empathy, it has been determined to be a key element of successful change outcomes. Correlating psychotherapy outcomes through an empathic approach to organization change, it is believed empathy can provide leaders with a deeper understanding of follower needs and concerns – especially those which may not be easily identified. Furthermore, an empathic approach results in individuals feeling understood and cared for, which can offer a multitude of benefits for leaders and followers in organizations undergoing change. Empathic leadership is a critical component to behavioral change that can be thoughtfully applied to the organizational setting to enable successful change outcomes. A Leader’s Empathic Sourcebook is a result of this study
