Robin Walker, "The Impact of the Mass Media on the Psychological and
Social Development of Adolescents in the United States" In the last
30 years, the media (television, radio, print and the Internet) has
influentially changed the way that adult Americans see and think about
themselves as well as the way they think about others and the world. This
presentation will illustrate how the relational impact of the mass media has
been even more influential on the development of today's youth (aged from 18 to
24 years) than in previous generations.
AND
Lisa Berlinger, "Leadership Competencies: An Approach to Effective
Ecclesial Learning." In this talk she will introduce the concept of leadership
competencies in the context of Christian ministry and demonstrate concretely
how leadership competencies can be used to increase the ability of Christian
leaders to learn and to lead. Brief attention will be paid to the
Leadership Competency the president of Harvard does not understand and what
keeps him from learning it.
