The Jesuits and Global Impact-The Jesuits, Globalization, and Our Historical Juncture

For more on SFS 100, visit:
May 24, 2019 | For more than 450 years the Society of Jesus has embodied a global mission. From St. Francis Xavier through Pope Francis, Jesuits have traveled to the ends of the earth, seeking to spread the Gospel and advance intercultural and interreligious dialogue in the service of global humanity.
To celebrate the centennial of the Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS), Georgetown University hosted a conference in Rome on the past and future of Jesuit global engagement. As the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States, located in Washington, D.C., and open to students of all nations, cultures, and religions, Georgetown has always had a strong international orientation. The establishment of SFS in 1919 as the first school of international studies in the country marked an historic milestone. Through the vision and leadership of its founder, Fr. Edmund J. Walsh, S.J. (1885-1956), SFS developed the global horizon of the Society of Jesus in a new direction—the training of new generations of leaders in government, business, and civil society to grapple with the world’s most pressing challenges.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

How the Great War could reign on Trump’s parade
Many of President Donald Trump’s critics fear he will start World War III.
But he may bring good news for devotees of World War I.
This coming Veterans Day, the weekend selected for Trump’s $30 million military parade, is also the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War on Nov. 11, 1918. That’s the conflict that gave birth to the national veterans' holiday and planted seeds for many of the global convulsions that have erupted since.
Neither the president nor the Pentagon has remarked on the historical significance of the parade date. But it hasn't gone unnoticed by the federal commission that has sought for five years to heighten public awareness about the cataclysmic conflict that toppled empires, introduced chemical warfare, drew the borders of the modern Middle East and helped spawn Soviet Russia.
The parade “presents a wonderful opportunity for us,” said Edwin Fountain, vice chair of the congressionally created World War One Centennial Commission, which is also raising money to construct a national memorial in Washington to the Great War. “We have suggested to the secretary of Defense and the White House that the thematic focus of the parade can and ought to be the centennial of the armistice.”
So far, the Pentagon has said only that the parade to be held in Washington will honor veterans from all branches of the military who fought in all of America's wars. We’re still very early in the planning stages and therefore do not have any specific details to provide yet regarding the parade, said Air Force. Col. Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is coordinating the planning.
Yet Fountain said he hopes that the timing of the parade will bestow special honor on the Americans who sacrificed in World War I, including nearly 117,000 who were killed and another 204,000 wounded. He also said the publicity surrounding the event could be used to highlight some of the enduring lessons of the war — including how easily regional disputes can still escalate into global ones.
How can we learn the lesson of World War I? You look at Ukraine and you look at Syria and you wonder how those regional conflicts might escalate, Fountain said of two current wars where major rivals, including the United States and Russia, are on opposing sides.
You can see how a conflict between forces we are each supporting could escalate and draw us in the same way as World War I, he added.
University of California, Berkeley professor Adam Hochschild agreed that the public attention surrounding the parade offers a unique chance to recount a war that was not seared into the American consciousness through films and books nearly as much as other conflicts.
It is a rare opportunity to depart from the standard celebrate-the-heroes, thank-veterans-for-their-service kind of way we usually remember wars, said Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918. If there was ever a war that shouldn't have happened, World War I was it. It remade the world for the worse, in every conceivable way. It's impossible to imagine the Second World War without the first, without the huge legacy of bitterness and resentment.
The war between 1914 and 1918 pitted the Allies of Great Britain, France, Russia and ultimately the United States against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire in Turkey, which had ruled much of the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Southeastern Europe from the 14th to the 20th centuries.
With a toll of some 19 million soldiers and civilians, it was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, fueled by genocide and dramatic technological changes that included the advent of poison gas as a battlefield weapon.
Soldiers rode in on horseback and flew out in airplanes, said Libby O'Connell, a cultural historian at the Smithsonian Institution and a member of the U.S. World War One Centennial Commission.
The conflict also set ablaze a series of political revolutions, including the Bolshevik Revolution that brought communists to power in Russia in 1917. And it left a legacy of rivalries, particularly in the Middle East, where the victors carved up the Ottoman Empire with little regard for religious or ethnic geography.
Those borders are still a flash point, O'Connell said. It hasn’t been resolved.
But World War I was subsequently glossed over in the United States, which participated in the final 18 months

His Obsession Almost Consumed the Country: Washington Gone Crazy (2004)
Michael Jay Ybarra (September 28, 1966 – June 30, 2012) was an American journalist, author and adventurer. About the book:
He was a non-fiction writer whose work appeared in various national publications. In 2004 his book Washington Gone Crazy: Senator Pat McCarran and the Great American Communist Hunt won the D.B. Hardeman Prize. It is an important historical work on McCarthyism. As the extreme sports correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, Ybarra wrote articles about outdoor adventure, providing the genre with a wider audience than it typically receives.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Ybarra graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1990 with a B.A. in political science. It was during his undergraduate years at UCLA that he started writing professionally for the Los Angeles Times followed by the Chicago Tribune. During his brief stint at the Chicago Tribune he interviewed future President Barack Obama.[2] After graduating from UCLA Ybarra moved to Washington, DC where he wrote for the Washington Post. He left when he decided to further his education. In 1992 he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Master's in political science.
Ybarra had a 25 year career as a journalist and author. He wrote for: the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. A prolific and diverse writer, he also contributed articles to The New Republic, Upside, CIO Decisions and Alpinist magazines. The piece he wrote for the Washington Post, Activists Attest to Romania's Idea of Democracy was entered into the Congressional Record at the request of Senator Ted Kennedy. His story about Hurricane Katrina The Long Road Back for CIO Decisions magazine won a National Azbee Gold Award from ASBPE (American Society of Business Publication Editors) and a Bronze Tabbie Award for feature article. Ybarra reported on a wide variety of topics and people such as: President Obama, Pulitzer-prize winning author Michael Chabon,[3] Patagonia founder/climber Yvon Chouinard, novelist Norman Mailer,[4] historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr, veteran climber Fred Beckey[5] and television personality Bill Maher.[6] He was the author of Washington Gone Crazy: Senator Pat McCarran and the Great American Communist Hunt (Steerforth Press).
In the early 1990s Ybarra began working for the Wall Street Journal as a staff reporter in the Journal's San Francisco bureau. It was during this period that Ybarra started researching and writing Washington Gone Crazy. The book was published by Steerforth in 2004 to much critical acclaim. Author, professor and CBS News commentator Douglas Brinkley wrote of the book Esteemed scholar Michael J. Ybarra's Washington Gone Crazy-based on extensive new archival research-offers a fair-minded, and ultimately devastating, portrait of Nevada's notorious Cold Warrior. A truly landmark study. It was a finalist for The Los Angeles Times Book Prize,[7] The New York Times Book Review listed the biography among the 100 Notable Books of the Year[8] and was shortlisted for the Ambassador Book Award in American Studies. Washington Gone Crazy won the D.B. Hardeman Prize for the best book on Congress from the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation.[9] Award committee member Dr. H.W. Brands, the Dickson, Allen, Anderson Centennial Professor of History at The University of Texas at Austin, said Ybarra's work is that rare book which has something really new to say on an old subject. In popular culture, Washington Gone Crazy is mentioned on the History Channel's Pawn Stars in the episode Take A Seat. A digital version of Washington Gone Crazy, featuring an introduction by Sam Tanenhaus, a former editor of The New York Times Book Review, is slated to be released in 2015.
While on a trip to Peru in 2004, Ybarra took his first climbing lessons. He subsequently became an avid climber and adventurer. Ybarra traveled widely climbing, hiking and kayaking in such places as: Nepal, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy, Thailand, Mexico, Canada, Alaska, Montana, Utah and the Sierra Nevada. From 2007 until his death in 2012, Ybarra chronicled his adventures for the Wall Street Journal as its extreme sports correspondent publishing more than 30 pieces.
