Jos Pekka Olsbo saisi valita kenet tahansa illallisseurakseen, hän todennäköisesti valitsisi John Lennonin. Syynä ei olisi yksinomaan Olsbon Beatles-fanitus tai Lennonin elämänfilosofia. ...Kirjoitustensa perusteella John Lennon vaan vaikuttaa hemmetin hauskalta tyypiltä.
Since John Lennon composed Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in early 1967, fans and music critics alike have argued over the meaning of the song. Is it about drugs? Is it just a lyrical response to a ...drawing given Lennon by his 4-year-old son Julian? Is there some deeper meaning? This book goes beyond speculative explanations by applying innovative psychological methods to the song's lyrics and music. It deeply analyzes the song's linguistic structure, its basic theme, and the way its words and music had been used by Lennon in earlier songs. As the findings accumulate, the book weaves them together with the facts of Lennon's life and established psychological theories to provide an integrative (and sometimes surprising) perspective on the psychological processes that led Lennon to write Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. The book goes on to follow the unfolding of these personal dynamics in later Lennon songs like I am the Walrus, Yer Blues, and Working Class Hero. The book's methods and perspective point to the usefulness of scientific psychology for understanding why a particular person does a particular thing at a particular time, at the same time that they shed new light on this fascinating and controversial man.
In 1963 William Mann coined the term "aeolian cadence" to describe a harmonic progression in the song "Not a Second Time" by the Beatles. This term has caused confusion ever since. In this article, I ...discuss why Mann might have used this confusing phrase and how it relates to this song by John Lennon. I will argue that, in the debate that ensued from Mann's observations, his commentators were primarily preoccupied with terminology and definitions but forgot to listen to Lennon. More specifically, I argue that, if the interplay between the music and lyrics is considered, the famous cadence in "Not a Second Time" can best be interpreted as "deceptive."
The 1944 Servicemen’s Readjustment Act (the “G.I. Bill”) provided returning WWII veterans with educational benefits sufficient to cover tuition, fees, and living expenses at almost any U.S. ...university or college. While several studies examine subsequent educational attainment and earnings for male veterans, little is known about how the G.I. Bill affected the 330,000 American females who served in WWII. Using data from the 1980 5 percent Census Public-use Microdata Sample, I find that female WWII veteran status is associated with a 19 percentage point increase in the proportion who report any college attendance, a 7.8 percentage point increase in college completion, and earnings that are 19.8 percent greater relative to comparable females who are not veterans. Because service was entirely voluntary for females, I use service eligibility requirements, enlistment records, 1940 Census data, and the G.I. Bill’s retroactive nature to establish a causal relationship among veteran status, educational attainment via the G.I. Bill, and increased earnings. To help separate the effect of the G.I. Bill from the effect of military service itself, and because benefits increased with longer service, I instrument for female veterans’ educational attainment using age at the time of the G.I. Bill’s announcement. My instrumental variables estimates imply that female veterans’ earnings increase by $1,350 (11.6 percent) per year of G.I. Bill-induced education, explaining 73 percent of the overall difference between veteran and non-veteran females’ earnings in 1980.
McNamee discusses lies, white lies, fibs, and other fictions. There is truth, and then there is falsehood. Immanuel Kant, who studied the problem more thoroughly than any of his contemporaries, held ...that it was one or the other, and he was unforgiving: By a lie, he wrote, a human being throws away and, annihilates his dignity as a human being. He declared that the legal definition of a lie, namely a falsehood that causes someone harm, was too generous: A lie is a lie is a lie.
Even though Kent State University Press released that issue in book form a decade later (Hesseltine, ed., Civil War Prisons Kent, Ohio, 1972), other scholars neglected the opportunity to expand on ...the themes explored by Hesseltine and his collaborators. While environmental determinism did not turn Andersonville into a human and natural disaster, studying Civil War prisons through an environmental lens sheds light on policy and management, what prisoners experienced, and the interpretation of landscapes. According to Angela M. Zombek in another chapter, the dedication that Catholic priests and nuns exhibited by ministering to military prisoners mollified the religious prejudices of many Protestant inmates who marveled at such dedication and compassion.

In the city of New York, the Ground Zero site within 12 months of 9/11 was attracting significantly greater numbers of visitors than prior to the terrorist attacks (Blair, 2002). From a management ...and operations perspective issues of ethical presentation, visitor behaviour, site management, revenue generation, marketing and promotion, all create areas that are fraught with difficulties and are frequently the subject of criticism and debate. The museum is, of course, famous for incorporating the mass graves of victims as a centre piece of the exhibition itself, along with innumerable and tangible artefacts.
Arthur Janov’s best-selling book The Primal Scream (1970) announced an ambitious new psychotherapy in which patients relived repressed childhood trauma in the belief that this would free them from ...neurotic suffering. In The Primal Revolution (1972), Janov used the ensuing prominence to suggest that primal therapy demanded a struggle against social as well as personal repression. Nevertheless, primal therapy has been consistently held up as a symptom of the counterculture’s inward turn and part of the “awareness movement’s” deviation from the hope for social transformation represented by the radical youth movements of the 1960s. Historians have reclaimed the 1970s as a period of vibrant grassroots politics, but the role of the awareness movement is rarely reevaluated. Where Janov’s therapy is concerned, this is a significant omission, since in its early years the narcissistic elements that later came to the fore were outweighed by primal therapy’s potential for political critique. By examining Janov’s publications, interaction with other primal practitioners, and influence on John Lennon and other leftists, this essay knits primal therapy into the story of 1970s radicalism.
