Peace has always been a topic of great importance. Its presence is desired by all nations and societies. It brings the world together in unity. John Paul II considered peace to be an integral part in creation of an independent and healthy society. Papal encyclicals and messages, intended to present the response of the teaching Church to problems that arise from time to time, often dwell on the principles that advocate peace. Since freedom and peace are in many cases a privilege for many nations, the mentioned pope commits himself to speak about the cruelty and evilness of wars and national conflicts. Pope John Paul II denounces intolerance as denial of freedom for many people, and consequently a great threat to peace. The pope teaches that peace has its roots in the family. Yet, in many societies, the family is deprived of the utmost importance that it certainly deserves. Without the adequate means for a decent livelihood, families can experience hardship in committing themselves to promote solidarity and a proper social fabric worthy of human dignity. For John Paul II, a nation's freedom and peace are safeguarded and promoted through particular attention and a much-devoted effort by strong and healthy families.

The article considers John Minton's (1917–57) illustrations of landscape for the book Time Was Away: A Notebook in Corsica (1948) with an aim to recover their significance in the history of illustration. Certain illustrations are positioned as notable for their ambiguous relationship to the text. I elaborate thinking around text–image relations alongside questions concerning the cross-fertilization of fine art and illustration. In their adoption of modernist principles, Minton's illustrations are significant in recasting the role of illustration in the artistic context of post-war Britain. In melding formalist effects with realist concerns, the illustrations raise broader matters around realism, fine art and the democratic potential of illustration. I show that in seizing on cinematic techniques, Minton offers an effectively modern response to the traditional paradigm of depth associated with landscape and thereby proffers an alternative to the Modernist paradox that a teleological development of painting is at odds with landscape. ; N/A

"Using John F. Kennedy as a central figure and reference point, this volume explores how postcolonial citizens viewed the US president when peak decolonization met the Cold War. Exploring how their appropriations blended with their own domestic and regional realities, the chapters span sources, cases and languages from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe to explore the history of US and third world relations in a way that pushes beyond US-centric themes. Examining a range of actors, Globalizing the U.S. Presidency studies various political, sociocultural and economic domestic and regional contexts during the Cold War era, and explores themes such as appropriation, antagonism and contestation within decolonisation. Attempting to both de-americanize and globalize John F. Kennedy and the US Presidency, the chapters examine how the perceptions of the president were fed by everyday experiences of national and international postcolonial lives. The many examples of worldwide interest in the US president at this time illustrate that this time was a historical turning point for the role of the US on the global stage. The hopes and fears of peaking decolonization, the resulting pressure on Washington, Moscow and other powers, and a new mediascape together ushered in a more comprehensive globalization of international politics, and a new meaning to 'the United States in the world'."--

Talk by Andrea Luka Zimmerman on the collaboration with John Berger on her film Taskafa, Stories of the street. Born in Stoke Newington in 1926, John Berger was one of the most influential artists, critics and writers of his generation. Ways of Seeing changed our understanding of art and made us question everything from the public ownership of art to the male gaze. Tom Overton, who curated Berger's archive at the British Library and is working on his biography, discusses his life and work with Andrea Luka Zimmerman, who worked with Berger on her film Estate, A Reverie, based in Haggerston.

The purpose of this thesis is to consider the evolution of John Kennedy's consciousness of social-welfare problems and his attempts to secure better standards of Federal legislation to remedy them. Within the scope of this study, the author intends to trace Kennedy's proclivity for "bread-and-butter" issues from the beginning ^of his Congressional career, when he demonstrated his awareness of people and their needs in the associations and techniques of his first electoral campaigns, to his election to the Presidency, where he guided his long-lived proposals: to fulfillment in law. As examples of President Kennedy's efforts to alleviate the financial burdens of the unskilled, the elderly, the ill, and the deprived, his attempts to improve the minimum wage and OASDI will be recorded from his early Congressional years, through seven years in the Senate and the election campaign of I960, to their ultimate execution in legislation during the first few months of his incumbency.
