- United States President Barack H. Obama delivers his final State of the Union address. Obama poses four main questions. These are: how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in the new economy; how do we make technology work for us, and not against us, as we solve our biggest challenges; how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman; how can we make our politics reflect the best in us, and not the worst? In answering these rhetorical questions, Obama describes the technological and social changes reshaping the way we live, the way we work, our environment, and our place in the world. He also discusses how these changes can be made to benefit the American people and further declares that America is the most powerful military presence in the world, climate change is real and that the 2008 recession was not caused by food stamp recipients, but by Wall Street.

- Description:
- Development institutions have in recent years realised the importance of indigenous culture as an important vehicle for communication. This has led to the creation of programmes in which local cultural forms have been "recruited" as the communication process for "selling" development strategies. The paper draws upon the author's experiences of theatre for primary health mobilisation and awareness in rural Malawi. The advantage of performing arts as a medium for development communication are that: 1) they provide a more entertaining form than monologous media, 2) they can easily use local languages and cultural forms such as songs and dances, 3) they encourage participation and debate in the audiences. The main disadvantage is that such intrumental use of the performing arts can lead to a cornmodification of culture which is manifested in: 1) the professionalisation of cultural workers in a context which is not normally commercial, 2) the reification and triviliation of community culture through the use of traditional external forms to convey messages totally at variance with their original context. Such cultural engineering, at its most insensitive can constitute a form of developmental imperialism which erodes rather than supports the cultural cement binding local communities. Suggested solutions demand agents' wide-ranging consultations, not only with development minded stake-holders, but also with those who possess cultural skills and interests.
