On Collective Self-Determination and a Palestinian State
2 3 Acknowledgments This thesis is the product of the incredible education that I have received during my time at Claremont McKenna College. As a philosophic paper that has practical application to the world in which we live, I feel that it reflects the best of what makes this college so special. Not only did learn how to approach problems of any type or complexity by studying philosophy with under the careful eyes of caring professors, but I was able to go out into the world and learn from the source about issues of collective self-determination generally and the Palestinian case in particular. During my time here, I have received help from so many people in the CMC community, but there are a few people whose help has been invaluable. First, I would like to thank Professor Edward Haley, who has continually played an instrumental role in helping me find the resources to conduct the research that most interested me. His door has always been open and he has always greeting me with a smile and excitement about what I have been doing. Additionally, I would like to thank Professor Paul Hurley, whose guidance was instrumental on this project. He helped me find a topic that I enjoyed writing and gave me the tools to write it. Finally, I would like to thank my family, who I seldom have seen during my time here, but has understood my desire to explore and grow.
Letter from Birmingham Jail
This essay was written in a solitary cell on April 16, 1963. Dr King's open letter to his fellow clergymen is both a defence of non-violent demonstration and a rallying cry for an end to racial discrimination. Martin Luther King Jr was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.
Introduction and experience with the primary mail services based on their names for students
Kyushu University provided mail service based on student IDs such as "1AB10123X" to the university students for many years. Using this model, we had problems communicating with the students who graduated from the University and enrolled in the graduate school. The students received new mail addresses based on their new student IDs such as "2AB12789Y". Faculty members were forced to change the student mail addresses in the mailing lists and in their mail client address book. Furthermore, students were forced to notify the e-mail address change to all of their existing contacts. We introduced a new mail system to provide addresses based on the student name, as well as student ID in April 2011. The new naming convention uses the following format: lastname.firstname.999 where 999 is a random number of 3 digits. Students can select some combination patterns of their first and last names for Japanese. We also consider the middle names for foreign students. In the system implementation, we did not have the formal information of alphabetical names for students. We generated alphabetical names from Japanese Katakana names. It is not easy for us to get the appropriate name in this manner. We implemented a confirmation stage of the alphabetical name at first use, and then students can select their mail addresses for their convenience. We paid much attention to the user interface in the system. Since April 2011, the number of users who use the mail address based on their own name has been increasing gradually. This paper will detail the usage status of the new system.
