Mr. , Mrs. , Miss, and Ms.

大家都知道在英语中M r.,M rs.,和M iss的意思。M r.用在男子名字前,M rs.用在已婚女子名字前,M iss用在单身女子名字前。但是M s.到底是什么意思呢?当你不知道某女子是否已经结婚时,人们则在女子姓名前加上M s.。有些妇女声称M r.没有表明男子是否已经结婚。这是男子的优势。他们想要在这一点上和男子平等。于是,他们喜欢M s.这个单词。这些妇女认为他们婚否对于别人来说不是一件重要的事情。Y ou all know them eaning of M r.,M rs.,and M iss.M r.is used be-fore the nam e of m en.M rs.is for m arried wom-en and M iss is f…

“The Shadows Are Many . . .” Vampirism in International School Leadership: Problems and Potential in Cultural,Political, and Psycho-Social Borderlands

Bram Stoker talks about the beguiling nature of the vampire; the manipulation, the desire, and the threat. This article looks to outline some of the factors in international schools that impact the organization, especially leadership, and that drain energy. It utilizes the folkloric and literary metaphor of the vampire to illustrate, understand, and discuss how individuals, systems, and structures can take away the life force of the organization. In particular, the international school with its vulnerabilities and issues of identity is prone to boundary attacks both from within and from the outside. The article uses research particularly in organizational management, international schools, school leadership, and folklore. The discussion offers a way of understanding vampirism as a metaphor to describe the forces both internal and external to a school that drain energy and positivity. These forces originate from a myriad of diverse factors such as individuals, groups, structures, and a school’s own unique history and location. In developing a theory of vampirism and applying it to an international school, I explore why such schools are especially vulnerable, what can be done to negate such energy draining, and the areas of school life where it can occur—the shadows where vampirism thrives.
