• Coleman's Study of Between-School Effects in American Education

  • When black students were bused in to these schools, white parents began to move their children out of such schools in large numbers.
  • Although Coleman found that, on average, black schools were funded on a nearly equal basis by the 1960s, he also found that socially-disadvantaged black students profited from schooling in racially-mixed classrooms.
  • When black students were bused in to these schools, white parents began to move their children out of such schools in large numbers.
  • Thus, the mass busing system had failed: Black students would only benefit from integrated schooling if there was a majority of white students in the classroom .
  • The Coleman Report led to busing programs to help integrate schools.

• Bureaucratization of Schools

  • However, they were excluded from the school system by segregation laws.
  • In order to understand the bureaucratization of schools, we must understand the historical development of the school system.
  • Young workers were trained and organizations were built for mass production, assembly line work, and factory jobs.
  • These needs formed the basis for school bureaucracies today.
  • Young workers were trained and organizations were built for mass production, assembly line work, and factory jobs.

• Why does lean thinking elicit strong emotions?

  • Lean thinking contradicts a number of established production theories taught in business schools because it advocates making a shift from conventional batch and queue' production practices (i.e. the mass production of large lots of a product based on anticipated demand) to a ‘one-piece flow' system that produces products in a smooth, continuous stream based on customer demand.
  • Customer demand then ‘pulls' a product or service through the manufacturing process rather than having the business push its mass-produced goods onto the market.

• Dutch Rationalist Architecture

  • The Amsterdam School (Dutch: Amsterdamse School) is a style of architecture that arose in 1910 and lasted until about 1930 in The Netherlands.
  • Buildings of the Amsterdam School are characterized by their use of bricks, rounded or organic appearance, relatively traditional massing, and the integration of an elaborate scheme of building elements inside and out such as decorative masonry, art glass, wrought ironwork, spires or "ladder" windows (with horizontal bars), and integrated architectural sculpture.
  • Imbued with socialist ideals, the Amsterdam School style was often applied to working-class housing estates, local institutions and schools.
  • The Amsterdam School had its origins in the office of architect Eduard Cuypers in Amsterdam.
  • The most important architects and virtuoso artists of the Amsterdam School were Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer.

• Mass Media and Technology

  • Since mass media has enormous effects on our attitudes and behavior, it contributes to the socialization process.
  • Television programs, movies, magazines, and advertisements are all examples of different forms of mass media.
  • Mass media is the means for delivering impersonal communications directed to a vast audience.
  • Media bias refers the bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media.

• German Bauhaus Art

  • The Bauhaus was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts and was famous for its functionalist approach to design.
  • Nonetheless, the school was founded on the idea of "total" creativity, or "gesamtkunstwerk", in which all arts would be brought together.
  • The design innovations commonly associated with Gropius and the Bauhaus—radically simplified forms, rationality, functionality, and the idea that mass-production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit—were already partly developed in Germany before the Bauhaus was founded.
  • Although the school was closed, the staff continued to spread its idealistic precepts as they left Germany and emigrated all over the world.
  • This approach to design education became a common feature of architectural and design school in many countries.

• Agenda-Setting Theory

  • In reality, mass media only shows the audience what it comprehends as an important issue.
  • Much of the modern electoral process is concerned with winning swing states through frequent visits and mass media advertising drives.
  • Mass communication plays an important role in our society.
  • Mass communication is defined in " Mass Media, Mass Culture" as the process whereby professional communicators use technological devices to share messages over great distances to influence large audiences.
  • Mass-media coverage in general and agenda-setting in particular also have a powerful impact on what individuals think that other people are thinking, and hence tend to allocate more importance to issues that have been extensively covered by mass media.

• The Bhakti Movement

  • The Bhakti Movement resulted in a mass of devotional literature, music, and art that gave India renewed spiritual impetus.
  • Beyond the confines of such formal schools and movements, however, the development of Bhakti as a major form of Hindu practice has left an indelible stamp on the faith.
