The “Chicago School” in the Global Community
DEAN KRUCKEBERG,KATERINA TSETSURA 한국언론학회 2008 Asian Communication Research Vol.5 No.1
This article advocates a theoretical grounding in “community” that not only has heuristic value in the social sciences, but that is particularly useful in building communication theory. This grounding is predicated on and is deeply rooted in the understanding of “community” as conceptualized by the sociologists of the Chicago School of Social Thought. First, this article presents a necessary background for defining “community” as a societal ideal from the Chicago School’s perspective. Next, it argues for the continuing relevance of this early 20th Century concept to contemporary social science in a global, yet multicultural and fragmented, society, and specifically to communication theory and practice worldwide. Finally, it offers a range of examples of communities that have evolved that are illustrative of dysfunctional communities that stand in contrast to the ideals, i.e., the ethics and values, of the Chicago School’s conceptualization of community. Such examples of dysfunctional communities can expand our contemporary understanding of the requisite elements of normative models of functional communities that can both inform and ground public relations theory and practice as espoused by Kruckeberg and Starck (1988). The article argues, not only for the utility of the concept of “community” in contemporary public relations theory, but also advocates that community-building must be the primary role of and a function of a successful public relations practice. The article furthermore identifies elements, or dimensions, of the concept of community that influence both the functionality and dysfunctionality of communities. Thus, this essay builds on previous research in community engagement, and particularly communication and public relations (e.g., Barbaro, 2006; Ramrez, Aitkin, & Kora, 2005; Kruckeberg & Starck, 1988; Starck & Kruckeberg, 2001) and extends a meta theoretical framework of community in relation to community-building to continue to inform communication theory-building by providing a typology of communities together with constitutive and operational criteria of both functional and dysfunctional communities a categorization that has both theoretical and practical implications.
Empowering Students for Learning and Ministry
Dean Blevins 한국기독교교육정보학회 2006 Journal of Christian education information tech Vol.0 No.10
One of the central goals of global Christian education is the empowerment of students for the sake of serving in ministry. Christian religious educators take into consideration preparation, cultural differences, economic challenges, learning styles, outcomes, and the ministry that students face. This article seeks more than what teachers do for students and addresses what educators must do with and through students. The challenge of empowering students to become life long learners for the sake of serving is discussed. Three areas of empowerment are based on the teacher's calling, student's calling and sound educational theory. Developing empowering education involves providing community, facilitating educational discernment, and transforming the world through a vision of the kingdom of God.
An Ethical Approach to the KBO Regulation of the Number of Foreign Players in Relation to Fair Play
Dean J. Myers,Sung Joo Park 한국체육철학회 2016 움직임의철학 : 한국체육철학회지 Vol.24 No.1
This essay analyzes the restriction of foreign players in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) through the work of scholars Butcher and Schneider’s (1998) position regarding fair play as “respect for the game”. The main question of inquiry focused on the limitation of 3 foreign players per team and whether this rule can stand up to scrutiny when analyzed under the concept of fair play as described by Butcher and Schneider. Previous work has failed to look at the limitation of foreign players through the specific circumstances of the KBO while applying the ethical concepts of fair play and its components. The concept of Butcher and Schneider’s position regarding fair play was broken down according to their conclusion of fair play as “respect for the game” and the two components it is comprised of; elements of players perspective and the KBO’s governing bodies responsibilities. Conditions of respect for the game provided by scholars Morgan and Meier (1988) were also referenced and found to be personified in the KBO league such as contestants should be evenly matched and the contestants must have a high degree of skill. The conclusion of this essay is that KBO’s rule restricting foreigners was found to be within the bounds of fair play as described by the scholarly work of Butcher and Schneider. The analysis of fair play and the KBO is important as Korea is becoming more diverse and this author believes only through moral evaluation of existing systems and rules can we prevent forthcoming issues.
