Bringing together the diverse perspectives of over 20 leading
journalism scholars, this collection provides an original insight
into the history of American journalism and issues that exist and
have existed within the industry for decades. The culture of
journalism is in constant flux, with both individual journalists
and the news industry as a whole regularly finding themselves at
the center of controversy. While heightened in recent years, such
controversy is not new and could in fact be considered a hallmark
of the profession. With this in mind, this book presents original
perspectives into issues and debates regarding the role of
journalism in America, journalistic objectivity and ethics,
diversity and representation, war and conflict reporting, local
news, fake news, and hostility towards journalists. Each of the
seven sections begins with a topical overview and ends with a short
essay written by a leader in the field. Issues in Contemporary
American Journalism is recommended reading for anyone studying the
history and evolution of journalism in the US at an advanced level.

Public schools face the challenge of educating large numbers of
students for whom learning does not come easily. They are
institutions with long-established practices, often protected by
politics and therefore highly resistant to change. The Best
Teachers in the World explains why changing our traditional
approach to improving our schools is critical and tells how to
achieve such change. John Chubb shows how we can raise student
achievement to levels comparable to those of the best nations in
the world through a new strategy for raising teacher quality that
is very different from the approach our country has historically
followed. He asserts that we must attract and retain high-calibre
individuals to teaching, train teachers in institutions and
programs that can demonstrate their efficacy in producing teachers
who raise student achievement, and improve the quality of school
leadership. Chubb suggests moving beyond licensing and other
regulatory approaches to teacher quality to focus on providing
quality by measuring performance directly-including direct
measurement of both teacher effectiveness and training
effectiveness-with the success of each gauged by the ability of
participants subsequently to raise student achievement. Given
strong incentives to perform and the information to do so, he
shows, the American educational system can improve teacher training
and raise teacher quality to the highest levels in the world.
This book critically investigates the historiography of
International Relations. For the past fifteen years, the field has
witnessed the development of a strong interest in the history of
the discipline. The chapters in this edited volume, written by some
of the field's preeminent disciplinary historians, all manifest the
best of an innovative and exciting generation of scholarship on the
history of the discipline of International Relations. One of the
objectives of this volume is to take stock of the historical turn.
Yet this volume is not simply a stock-taking exercise, as it also
intends to identify the limitations and blind spots of the recent
historiographical literature. The chapters consider a range of
diverse thinkers and examine their impact on understanding various
dimensions of the field's history.

Dieses Buch ist eine Open Access Publikation.Der lange gehegte
Traum von kunstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird in unserer Alltagswelt
zunehmend Realitat. Damit verbinden sich hohe gesellschaftliche
Erwartungen, aber auch Sorgen hinsichtlich einer schleichenden
Entmundigung des Menschen. Am Beispiel des Forschungssektors lotet
dieser Band die Optionen, Entwicklungschancen und Risiken von
KI-Techniken fur die Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen
Erkenntnisprozesses und der darauf beruhenden technischen
Entwicklungen aus. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunachst der Stand der
KI-Technik und ihrer Anwendungen dargestellt. Es folgen
wissenschaftsphilosophische Untersuchungen zur Frage der
Ersetzbarkeit des forschenden Menschen durch KI und zu erwartenden
Veranderungen in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. Weitere
Abschnitte widmen sich den Folgen fur die Arbeitswelt von
Forschern/Forscherinnen sowie den durch KI erzeugten neuen
Herausforderungen fur die rechtliche Regulierung im Spannungsfeld
von Wissenschaftsfreiheit und Datenschutz. Der Band schliesst mit
Empfehlungen fur die verantwortlichen Akteure in Wissenschaft,
Forschungspolitik und Gesellschaft aus interdisziplinarer
Perspektive.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes analysieren in kritischer
Weise die Breite und Tiefe des Diskurses zu Neuro-Enhancement, der
sich aber nicht nur durch ethische Fragen auszeichnet. Sie zeigen,
dass es daruber hinaus grundlegende philosophische,
anthropologische und gesellschaftstheoretische Aspekte sind, die im
Steigerungsbedurfnis spatmoderner
Leistungs(steigerungs)gesellschaften zu Tage treten. So scheint
eine neue Wunschwelt vor der Tur zu stehen: Doping furs Gehirn! Der
rasante Fortschritt der Neurowissenschaften hat das menschliche
Gehirn erreicht. Die Moeglichkeiten der Leistungssteigerung
koennten bald auch das "Innerste" des Menschen essentiell
betreffen: sein Denken und Fuhlen, Entscheiden und Handeln.Die
Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Nicola Erny ist Professorin fur Philosophie
an der Hochschule Darmstadt. Dr. Matthias Herrgen lehrte am
Philosophischen Seminar der Westfalischen Wilhelms-Universitat in
Munster. Prof. Dr. Jan Cornelius Schmidt unterrichtet Philosophie,
Ethik und Technikfolgenabschatzung an der Hochschule Darmstadt.

Are we allowed to do what we are able to do? What principles should
we use to decide?These questions have accompanied medical treatment
from the beginning. Yet they are particularly salient when dealing
with an organ so central to our understanding of the self as the
human brain. Constant technological development has expanded
medicine s scope of possible interventions and made formerly
unthinkable situations probable, and pressure to make decisions in
these cases makes ethical reflection necessary. This book takes
into account both anthropological models and the results of modern
neuroscience in order to develop criteria useful for practitioners
in ethically difficult cases."
