SWIMMING TO LOS ANGELES --Out of Class for the Semester--PART ONE


..

Medical Anthropology 426 and Media Ethics 305

     The exit from classes at the University of Nevada for the Fall semester 2023 was, as expected, not on a friendly note. The first to go was the medical anthropology class but the stage had been set by the lab assignments in journalism. There was a possibility that all might have gone as planned, remaining in all the classes, all five, for fifteen credits, for the entire semester, but agenda interfered. 

     The anthropology professor ran off to Africa, in what a barista friend called a "safari" and the lectures were given by substitute teachers, as if in middle school. No mention of this was given ahead of time, only in the syllabus, which was published just before instruction began, making the choice to drop the class difficult. After one of the in-class writing assignments was missed and some attendance to the sub lectures, the grade rapidly plunged to zero--time to go:

     05 October 2023: "Hello Professor (xxxxx). I have decided to withdraw from class"

     No fanfare, no parade, and no more middle-school sub teachers. Next was media ethics. The grade in the class was stellar at the time, doesn't mean it is worth staying if there's an "agenda." In fact, the agenda aspect of the journalism school at the campus was beginning to become more obvious, not just in writing style but in content, more like a school of propaganda. 

     What precipitated the fall from the media ethics class was in relation to a film, content of which was rather disturbing. The objective was to locate in the film examples of where the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) code of ethics was being adhered to. The problem with that was the many places in the film where it was being ignored. In fact, the script itself was of poor quality, the actors stale and predictable and the plot, whatever it was, just lacking interest. Prepping for the assignment, a copy of the script was found, downloaded and printed, which made it easy to follow along with the dialogue. It also made it easy to see the flaws in the story, and especially where the SPJ was being ignored. 

     One of the more serious flaws: The newly appointed editor assigns a controversial story to his investigative journalism team, usually allowed to pick its own story, which had been published before with little results. The editor then checks with the publisher to see if its a "bad idea," gets the go-ahead and the plot unfolds from there. The film had the usual extremely drab sound track associated with this type of content making it even more difficult to endure. What's more significant is the obsolete nature of the content; the days of the investigative reporter film are long over, relegated to the newspaper-dot-com archives. The film did achieve some awards but by today's standards, not enough diversity, inclusiveness, critical theory and alternative lifestyle.

RED FLAG
Checkpoint Charlie: NATO, Article 5 and the Berlin Wall

There was no North American Treaty Organization, NATO, immediately following the close of World War Two. By the close of the decade, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, particularly in Germany, the alliance was formed with 12 initial members. The concept of “collective security” had been around for over 30 years, at least on the Continent, with respect to the World War One League of Nations; neither the United States nor the Soviet Union were members.

Red Flag: The U.S.-Japan Security Pact of 1960
The recent statement by the White House concerning a “bilateral” treaty between the United States and Japan from 1960 raised the issue of the former’s lack of a security-military commitment, with the latter doing the heavy lifting. It comes as no surprise in light of other treaties such as NATO in Europe with the U.S. again carrying The Weight.
Part and parcel to how it all unfolded had to do with certain ambiguous positions by the two nations coupled with the American public not totally informed of the agreement. The situation was quite different in Japan. (09 March 2025)
