In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie continues exploring currents that have shaped the position of the Caribbean today stemming from Colonization, but switch gears to Postcolonialism, and the lingering effects of Colonialism. The Lecture delves into the concept of postcolonialism and discusses how Caribbean people's disdain for African Traditions such as Obeah reflects the lingering effects of colonialism. The class spent several minutes debating whether #obeah is evil as many students challenged the professor's position on African traditions and the need to have open discussions without European ethnocentrism. The class was deeply intense and the students and Professor spoke passionate about current attitudes towards African Spirituality.This Lecture and the Lecture series is offered Jamaica Theological Seminary in the Humanities Department and the Lecture is delivered by Rev.

Speaker: Professor Madhavi Sunder, Georgetown University Law SchoolAbstract: Innovation thrives on borrowing from creators, past and far-flung. When does cultural exchange cross the line into cultural misappropriation or theft decried as “cultural appropriation”? Notably, today's culture wars increasingly turn on intellectual property claims, with calls for attending to the legal and ethical implications of dominant cultural creators taking and profiting from the innovations of disadvantaged and minority creators. Black creators embark on a #TikTokStrike to protest white influencers siphoning credit and revenues from black creatives. The Mexican Culture Minister calls out high end fashion labels for stealing local designs. Black dancers sue blockbuster video game Fortnite for copying dance moves without credit or royalties. Native activists challenge racist trademarks. The implication is clear: intellectual property has a cultural appropriation problem. Is intellectual property an appropriate legal tool for addressing cultural appropriation? This Lecture builds on growing scholarship studying dispossession and racial capitalism to consider intellectual property's role in promoting or stifling recognition and redistribution for diverse creators.Biography: Madhavi Sunder is the Frank Sherry Professor of Intellectual Property Law at the Georgetown University Law Center.

This Lecture continues the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series exploring the challenge of Caribbean Development but now going beyond the external to the internal. Corruption has significantly held back Jamaica and the Caribbean as much as the IMF or structural adjustment has placed conditionalities that have constricted the growth. Nevertheless, the problem was complex and compounded by several factors in which the locals also played a role. The #caribbean has had tremendous investments over the years but corrupt figures have squandered or mismanaged the funds leading to missed opportunities. This lecture discusses this issue and borrows data from #transparencyinternational https://www.transparency.org/en/what-is-corruption, and Dr. Trevor Monroe's and the #docu-filmnationalintegrityagency #nia, about the cost of corruption https://youtu.be/PEZnDCMvjO8?si=d38c17mzF97rkIGb.

Question: According to the Film Life and Debt, who is to be blamed for Jamaica's slow development and dependency Jamaica Government IMF and World Bank Colonialism and Europe OPEC NAFTA, WTO and USA Answer: Participate via our Spotify community page or YouTube Community Channel Page. This Lecture continues the discussion from last class exploring the paradox of sovereignty. Today we review the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black about Jamaica's challenge since post-independence to develop economically as a result of the external or foreign forces using debt, structural adjustment under globalization. Globalization has not positively affected the Caribbean given what W.W. Rostow theorize about the stages of development. We begin with a reading of the text book: Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, chapter 10 on Cinema and Globalization. The chapter begins with a critique of the film which we discuss briefly before we begin the film. The film is available in full via Amazon Prime for purchase.

This is the Full audio/Video Recording of Caribbean Thought Lecture 6 at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance. The Lecture is a continuation from Week 5 where we had asked: who determine this why revisit the past? This Lecture is entitled: Week 6: Neoliberal Globalization and Nationalism: The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Caribbean and Cinema as Resistance, looking at the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black a film based on the book, A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid about Antigua's struggles with structural adjustment after independence. This class begin with the groups breaking out in their rooms and discussing the following questions. They then presented the main points in the general session. Questions: 1. We celebrate Haiti as the first colonized black country that got independence and freedom beating the French and Napoleon. C.L.R James even wrote in the Jacobins how Toussiant who led the Haitian Revolution successfully beat the French and was intrigued with how he was able to do so. But today we are learning that Haiti may not be really free. Why would anyone want to challenge Haiti's Independence and C.L.R James book hailing the Haitians as successful in securing their independence. 2. Why is it important for us to critically revisit the Caribbean's past when we are critically making a determination about what is Caribbean? We then move into this week's lecture with: What's Difference between Neoliberalism and Liberalism? Renaldo McKenzie There's a difference between liberalism and Neoliberalism. Liberalism was the humanist ideology promoting individualism and free wills. It was a social theory within the humanities. However, liberalism like all useful theories, doctrines or things, became adopted and was adapted within another discipline, Economics, due to its usage and normalization within the corporate industry by capitalists and the large corporation. The idea, principles and guarantees of liberalism provided a useful opportunity, to remake into an economic theory a strategy to advance capitalist bottom line and goal for profit. This new liberalist thrust within economics gave rise to the term Neoliberalism. We then discussed some general questions from the course. We discussed Cinema and Globalization as a preface to the film Life and Debt. Cinema and Neoliberal Globalization: Can Cinematic Film be An Effective Tool in Creating Change in Light of Globalization? Probably the Answer to Neoliberalism lies in Film One of man's basic drives and instinct is the pursuit and discovery of “truth”. But in a world of Isms and schisms, perceptions and deceptions, truth seems more elusive, and reality becomes contradictions of our perceptions controlled by our ideologies, products of human limitations. Nevertheless, throughout history, man has searched for truth and according to Cuandis Callison, film, art and media have reflected this “eternal search for truth.” The full notes are available to students of the course.

Today we explored the question of the Caribbean in light of the conceptualization of the course, Caribbean Thought. We ask, when we study and reflect on Caribbean Thought, including diverse currents that have shaped its present that speaks to a future, how far must we go back? Where must we start? The answer is a complex one because we stated in class that the Caribbean is an invention of the past which must now reinvent itself in the future if we are to surpass the challenges of the present. We say the Caribbean is uncompetitive stemming from a violent past that continues today through neoliberal Globalization. We did not explore neoliberal globalization but provided an understanding of Neoliberalism, Neo-capitalism and Capitalism. We explain Neoliberalism as a form of liberalism used within economics by capitalists to liberalize economies so as to penetrate thereby ensuring profit. We said that we will explore Neoliberalism in more detail later in relation to its effects on the Caribbean when we watch "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black based on a book "A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid - a book about Antigua whose experience of structural adjustment and fight for prosperity resembles Jamaica's so that the film could take from the book and talk about Jamaica. This speaks to the symbiotic relation between the West Indies. We examined the processes of Colonization from the perspective of Fanon who defines colonization as involving a violence of depersonalization - stripping away the individual. We provided an academic answer/response to the question: Are "White-Collar in Jamaica a Crimes a result of Colonization"? And why are crime rates so high in places like Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica? We suggested a Marxist materialist reply - "Relative Deprivation". What is Relative deprivation? We defined it as the correlation between high crime and high poverty and income inequality. Jamaica/ the Caribbean suffers from high poverty and inequality correlated with the highest crime rates in the Caribbean. This is commensurate with what is happening is black and brown communities all over the world - hence supporting the conclusion/analysis of "relative deprivation". We pointed out that to study Caribbean Thought is to do philosophical inquiry which involves logic and reason and an understanding of Descartes phenomenology, who coined "cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. He recognized the subjectivity of reality outside of objective verification. Further, we pushed the exploration of knowledge by discussing Kant who says that history is a result of human nature and circumstances, and questions Newtonian Physics which formed the basis of western civilization's understanding of reality. The Caribbean as part of a reality of western civilization is influenced by that bent. We reviewed the economic history of western society and capitalism stating that it is within a system that has impoverished or weakened the Caribbean States. We revisited Adam Smith Wealth of Nations and Max Weber Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism regarding the justification and economic principle behind Capitalism. However, we challenged the wealth of nations by invoking Karl Marx who critically re-examines Adam Smith's Accumulation of Capital idea, saying that it was not one in hard work but theft and violence. This then led us to consider the socio-economic and political interests of the Caribbean such as Michael Manley and Fidel Castro who were Nationalists influenced by Marxists critique of capitalism and his idea of Communism. Caribbean Political and literary thinkers were off-center and regarded as Democratic Socialists which had threatened American domination/penetration in the region to what they had believed was given way to socialist ideology.

This Lecture was presented on June 19, 2017 by Amb. Frank Lavin at the Institute of World Politics. This a discussion of World War II as seen through the story of a combat infantryman. Carl Lavin was a high school senior when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He enlisted at 18, a decision that would take him with the U.S. Army from training across the United States and Britain to combat with the 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge. Home Front to Battlefront is the tale of a foot soldier who finds himself thrust into a world where he and his unit grapple with the horrors of combat, the idiocies of bureaucracy and the oddities of life back home - all in the same day. The book is based on Carl's personal letters, official military history, private papers and more. Former U.S. ambassador and White House aide Frank Lavin, the son of Carl Lavin, is author of Home Front to Battlefront, and joins us for a presentation to share insight on World War II and the GI experience.

"Let's raise our energy to a higher vibration!"  This lecture by iamHeart cofounder Puran Bair will give a whole new meaning to this oft-heard, new-age catch-phrase. Energetic frequencies influence physical reality in a major way! High frequencies scatter and clarify, while low frequencies gather and collect. Darkness and light are created through a confluence of vibrations of different types. Thus, darkness and shadow is another aspect of Light. How does this relate to the meditation? The heart is influenced by and generates both high and low frequencies. For example, heart rate is a low frequency (~60 beats per minute), but the heart also pulses out a spectrum of magnetic energy into the field around one's physical body. Breath, an even slower rate (4 - 12 cycles per minute), influences the rate of the heart; when full and rhythmic encourages optimal Heart Rate Variability.  Through meditation, you gains more control over the processes and signals that would otherwise be unconsciously churning in the background. Furthermore, many heart-sourced electromagnetic frequencies, when directed consciously, have healing capacity. Healing through magnetism (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) is a relatively new discovery to the allopathic medical science, yet has long been only understood by esoteric meditative traditions and energy healers. Healing responses in physical tissues can be encouraged by sending magnetic frequencies to specific areas in the body or drawing energy from over-active fields around the body. The most sensitive instrument for detecting AND projecting these frequencies is not an expensive piece of modern electronic machinery, but is astonishingly the human hand! Through heart-centered meditation, in tandem with energy-healing techniques, we can develop awareness of and sensitivity to the varietal frequencies within PEMFs. Listen to Puran discuss how, through the power of the heart and through tuning into PEMFs, one can be an amazing catalyst of healing. This Lecture was recorded November --- 2015 at the IAM Heart retreat, "Light on Healing"

During the past decade his research has been oriented towards the way that risk and uncertainty is managed by contemporary culture. He has published widely about controversies relating to issues such as health, parenting children, food and new technology. His Invitation to Terror; Expanding the Empire of the Unknown (2007) explores the way in which the threat of terrorism has become amplified through the ascendancy of possibilistic thinking. It develops the arguments contained in two previous books The Culture of Fear (2003) and Paranoid Parenting (2001). Both of these works investigate the interaction between risk consciousness and perceptions of fear, trust relations and social capital in contemporary society. His work on trust has been developed through a historical investigation of the meaning of authority, which was published by Cambridge University Press in October 2013 as Authority, A Sociological History. His latest book; First World War: Still No End in Sight was published earlier this year.Furedi’s books and articles provide an authoritative yet lively account of key developments in contemporary cultural life. Using his insight as a professional sociologist, Furedi has produced a series of agenda-setting books that have been widely discussed in the media. Furedi regularly comments on radio and television. In the past year he has appeared on Newsnight, Sky and BBC News, The Today Programme, Moral Maze and a variety of other radio television shows. His has been interviewed by the media in Australia, Canada, the United States, Poland, Holland, Belgium, Brazil, and Germany and other countries.

This Lecture incorporates a story of 'Margaret's Bird', which tells about a bird who chose to value the security of his cage over freedom in the context of his very own life. Although security is most people's first choice in life, it may not be the option that provides us with the outcomes we truly want! A common problem that many of us face in life and our relationships, is our innate desire to please other people in order to be accepted by them. The reason why this is a problem, is that if our need to be accepted by others comes at the cost of our freedom to simply be ourselves in our relationships, the only person we end up making truly miserable and lonely is ourselves. The need to feel significant, of value to others and secure within ourselves are three universal motives that drive and often govern us all in some way. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor in forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is right now in the present. That famous quote by Benjamin Franklin that "Those who would give up freedom, to purchase a piece of temporary Safety, deserve neither Freedom nor Safety" The reason why so many of value security in our relationships opposed to 100% honesty and authenticity is that the truth can often hurt, either ourselves or others. And when we begin on the journey of becoming clear of our own person standards and start communicating them to those we find ourselves in relationship with, we can leave ourselves wide open and exposed to the potential rejection of others. Keeping the peace and not being totally honest about our standards in relationships can be easy, and this will often provide us with a false sense of security. However, if you value the idea of Freedom in your relationships beyond the comforts of security, this will demand from us change - and change always brings about uncertainty. Why do we fear change in our relationships? Because we'd often rather live with security that the uncertainty that accompanies the freedom of personal authenticity. http://www.kainramsay.com

This Lecture will give an overview of the current status of antibacterial drugs (e.g. penicillins, cephalosporins, vancomycin) and the processes that bacteria use to develop resistance.

The last 10 years have not seen the overdue consolidation in the world's airline industry. There are still too many airlines chasing too few passengers. The provision of infrastructure has been haphazard (new airports in China, new runways in the Gulf, prolific discussion in the UK). The continuing regulatory drag, and inter state imbalance, has inhibited many necessary efficiencies.Al-Qaeda has shown a consistent and persistent interest in Civil Aviation which has also seen itself become one of the poster children in the climate change debate. Emissions trading, offsetting, and alternative fuels , were little discussed in 1999; in 2009 they were on the front page of the websites. Printed front pages are now a part of history as are printed tickets, fixed prices and uncrowded airspace. This Lecture will explore the current environment and endeavour to encourage the participants.
