RETHINKING EDUCATION

Teacher: Lox, you can’t do that!Me: Why not?Teacher: Because I say so!Me: Right, this is the big problem. Grown ups still don’t get it. You went to school thirty years ago and you are just carrying on like those teachers you didn’t like back then, who told you what to learn and how to learn it. When they would sit you down in a classroom and force you to learn.Learning is something we choose to do. When a child goes to school they are hardly ever listened to and are not treated as equal beings. Children are not grown ups in waiting. They are just as important but learn things in a different order to you. Even if I can’t yet do my eight times table I can drum, dance and rap.So, what are you doing? Let’s change the playbook. That’s why we are all here, right?

Approximation, Mad Men and the Death of JFK

In this article I take the US television series Mad Men (2007—present) as an exemplary ‘approximation’, a term I adopt to signal the way in which certain texts construct a changeable, fluid ‘truth’ resulting from collisions, exchange and dialectical argument. Approximations are layered, their formal layerings mirroring a layered, multifaceted argument. Mad Men integrates and represents real historical events within a fictional setting, and act that suggests that an event or action can never be finished, fixed and not open to reassessment. Specifically, this article examines ‘The Grown Ups’, Episode 12 of Season 3, which charts the events of 22 November 1963, the day Kennedy was assassinated. Although we might be able to bring to mind the images and conspiracy theories that have been made available since (such Abraham Zapruder’s 8 mm home movie footage of the assassination), these images were not available at the time. Mad Men as a series always strives to represent its historical milieu as authentically as possible, so the characters re-enact 22 November 1963 as authentically as possible by watching only what was on television that day (the news bulletin, Walter Kronkite’s announcement that Kennedy is dead). The contemporary backdrop to these events, including the resonances of ‘9/11’ through Mad Men, inform and collide with the authenticity on the screen.

Grown up congenital hearts.

The exploits and successes of cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects over six decades has created a new population of cardiac patients – the Grown Up Congenital Hearts (GUCHs) which has many names in different countries. From success-ful cardiac surgery comes the refinement of other specialties – paediatric cardiology, anaesthesia, intensive care, sophis-ticated imaging, who looks after the GUCHs, and where are the optimal medical services for the adults (adolescents) with congenital heart diseases. At least 90% of children born with such defects can be expected to reach adulthood in regions/countries or areas where there has been established good paediatric cardiac surgery. Indeed most lesions now can be treated with success and survival. The notion of “total cor-rection” should be dispelled as a dream of surgeons for many years. There are conditions such as closure of the persistent duct, certain ventricular septal defects and a few other simple defects which can be considered as cured of the need for future medical care. Most long-term survivors with congenital heart disease, particularly the complex, need expert medical care for life. Thus their needs must be recognised with provision of funded and staffed specialised units with necessary expertise, taking on the role of education of the problem in the region. Not every region needs a unit but with support services, research and provision of the various levels of needs of the patients.Numbers of units depend on the size and geographical features of the country or area as well as the size of the GUCH population. Too many units lead to loss of expertise and ed-ucation by diluting numbers. No one in any country knows the true numbers of GUCH patients. Predictions are not true anywhere. John Keith in the late 1950s recognised the need to have a service as his children survived, and so sent John Evans to the Toronto General Hospital to establish such a service, separate from paediatric cardiology in the Children’s Hospital. So wise. In actual fact not much was established and the concerned doctor left to be a business magnate. Joe Perloff, influenced deeply by Paul Wood in his London training, fascinated by congenital heart disease, recognised GUCH needs in Los Angeles, established with difficult a service as did the National Heart Hospital in London with the opening of an adolescent cardiac unit in 1975 receiving the patients from Dr Richard Bonham-Carter, operated by Dr David Waterston in Hospital for Sick Children (Great Ormond Street). Services grew into Grown Up Congenital Heart unit – called after Paul Wood and rebuilt following the destruction when the Heart Hospital merged into the Brompton Hospital. Establishing such a unit has always been difficult for different reasons in different countries and remains so. It was facilitated by having a funded Health Service. It was easy in Malta because the principal doctors wanted it. It remains diffi-cult in the USA where provision is only in a few isolated units. Recognition even that there is this sub specialty of cardiology has been nearly impossible in many countries; even when they have good paediatric cardiac services or because they have, has helped GUCHs since the paediatric cardiologists frequently reserve a parental right to continue looking after their patients into adulthood. It cannot be imagined that paediatricians would consider that an adult trained consultant could have a right to care for an infant. Most would not wish to do so in any spe-cialty, so why should the paediatricians consider their ability (right) to care for adults, because they know the anatomy. In Canada, Japan and a number of European countries including the United Kingdom, it has been recognised that there needs to be a national service controlled and funded for the specialty of Grown Ups with congenital heart abnormalities as part of adult cardiology which is useful as many will acquire the cardiovascular diseases of the population.

Marques corporelles, tatouages et solutions subjectives à l’adolescence

BackgroundThe practices of body marking are today a current phenomenon found in all social strata, with broad inclusion in all age groups. Motivations are usually associated with an aesthetic approach, a search for identity or an interest in body art. In the field of psychopathology, these references, however, are insufficient to understand the “hidden face” of these body experiments. Indeed, many young people are looking for compulsive and low fantasized experiences of pain. When the image also plays a key role in contemporary processes of subjectivation as to allow a positive inclusion in the social link. MethodsThis article gives an account of the first results of an international research about the tattoos and scarifications in modernity. It allows a new apprehension of the singular functions that the body mark fulfils in the psychic economy for a population of adolescents and young adults who attend conventions and places of body art or also met in care centers. In a psychodynamic orientation, the impact of these modes of body practices on subjectivity is studied with reference to different structures of personality (including borderline personality disorder). In a context where using scales or tests were not possible, we chose to study the “subjective position” (relation with the body, the family system, the sexuality, the law and finally with the consumer society). Three methods of data collection were chosen to correspond to specific objectives: questionnaire (quantitative analysis), research interview (qualitative analysis), extensive research from an online questionnaire (French, Spanish, Portuguese) and blogs on the Internet. ResultsIn three presentations of cases, this article shows how the uses of body can be the support of a deep “work on oneself” and lead to a subjective solution for some teenagers or young grown ups. Marking the body cannot be reduced to the function of representation or distinction but can also help to integrate some conflicting elements, to restore a psychic homeostasis and to open the possibility of secondary elaborations. It may well have the function to crystallize and register an event or a turning point in personal life. DiscussionsThis article refutes negative and pathological studies of these body experiments. Above all, the specific use of the body may, in certain circumstances, allow a change of the “subjective position” (relation with the body, the pain, the family system, the sexuality, the law and finally with the consumer society). As part of psychosis or borderline personality disorder, the experience can lead to a deep psychic redevelopment and change bodily perceptions, especially when the body is paradoxically useful for personal limit (subject/social). That is why, nowadays, many young people invest different forms of marking the body, transforming this one into a privileged surface for insignia of the self. Therefore, this contribution is an essential complement to the present psychological and sociological approaches.

Value Investing: Investing for Grown Ups?

Value investors generally characterize themselves as the grown ups in the investment world, unswayed by perceptions or momentum, and driven by fundamentals. While this may be true, at least in the abstract, there are at least three distinct strands of value investing. The first, passive value investing, is built around screening for stocks that meet specific characteristics – low multiples of earnings or book value, high returns on projects and low risk – and can be traced back to Ben Graham’s books on security analysis. The second, contrarian investing, requires investing in companies that are down on their luck and in the market. The third, activist value investing, involves taking large positions in poorly managed and low valued companies and making money from turning them around. While value investing looks impressive on paper, the performance of value investors, as a whole, is no better than that of less “sensible” investors who chose other investment philosophies and strategies. We examine explanations for why active value investing may not provide the promised payoffs.

Young hedonists and rational grown ups? A closer look at consumer identities in Norway

The evidence in this paper is from a nationwide representative survey in Norway where 1008 respondents between 18 and 80 years old were interviewed by telephone in February 2005. In relation to shopping, four consumer types are revealed; the political, the economic, the hedonistic and squanderers. The first two types are instrumentally oriented, while the hedonistic and the squanderers may be seen as expressively oriented. These types are correlated with gender, education and age. Women are more often hedonistic and/or squanderers than men. However, there are no gender differences as regards the political or the economic orientations. This is interpreted as women having a wider “competence” in shopping than men. Education has minor effects, showing that the higher educated are more politically oriented than the lower educated, and squanderers are more often found among the lower educated than among the higher educated. Age is the factor that explains most and shows that the older one gets, the probability of being expressively oriented declines, and the probability of being economic increases. This is interpreted as a life course effect; you change identity as well as your social situation during the life course. The middle aged are more politically oriented compared to the younger and older groups. This can be interpreted as a generation effect as these people grew up in the 70s in a historical period with high political engagement and political activism.

What makes a helpful grown up? Children's views of professionals in the mental health services

Children’s mental health has risen to the top of the social agenda in recent years but surprisingly little has been done systematically to collect and analyse their views of professional help. In this study the NUD•IST qualitative data analysis software was used to analyse 35 interviews with children and young adults aged between 7 and 20 and build a model of what makes a helpful grown up. It was also possible to discern what makes grown ups unhelpful and list some of the complaints the children had about their treatment. On coding the qualities of the helpful adult four major themes appeared: general qualities; counselling skills; ethical stance; and the ability to make things happen (helpful outcomes). The unhelpful adult was categorized in terms of: physical behaviour; verbal behaviour; social behaviour and attitudes. In terms of adult roles the three types of unhelpful behaviour are associated with parents, foster parents, residential workers in children’s homes and teachers. Unhelpful attitudes are associated with all adults whether carers or professionals. The children complained about foster and residential placements, the difficulty of actually telling adults they had a problem, the unfairness of the way some adults treated them and the help they should have had but either never received or which took too long to arrive. While making no claims for profundity this model of the helpful grown up is presented with considerable confidence. A finding was that the profession of the adult matters far less than whether or not they possess the qualities of the helpful grown up, and there is a clear need for all healthcare professionals working with children to possess these core skills if they are to be effective.
