Can DPJ rebuild a debilitated nation under new leadership?
David Brooks writes in The New York Times: Diane Ravitch’s narrative is that America has humane local schools that are being threatened by testing wonks. The fact is that many schools have become spiritually enervated and even great teachers struggle in an inert culture. It’s the reformers who often bring the passion, using tests as a lever. If your school teaches to the test, it’s not the test’s fault. It’s the leaders of your school.

[Latin ēnervāre, ēnervāt- : ē-, ex-, ex- + nervus, sinew.]
enervation en'er·va'tion n.
enervative en'er·va'tive adj.
enervator en'er·va'tor n.
USAGE NOTE Sometimes people mistakenly use enervate to mean "to invigorate" or "to excite" by assuming that this word is a close cousin of the verb energize. In fact enervate does not come from the same source as energize (Greek energos, "active"). It comes from Latin nervus, "sinew." Thus enervate means "to cause to become 'out of muscle'," that is, "to weaken or deplete of strength."
(dĭ-bĭl'ĭ-tāt')
tr.v., -tat·ed, -tat·ing, -tates.
To sap the strength or energy of; enervate.
[Latin dēbilitāre, dēbilitāt-, from dēbilis, weak.]
- [dibílətèit]
In the view of both political analysts and technology experts here and in the United States, China’s attempts to tighten its grip on Internet use are driven in part by the conviction that the West — and particularly the United States — is wielding communications innovations from malware to Twitter to weaken it militarily and to stir dissent internally.
“The United States has already done it, many times,” said Song Xiaojun, one of the authors of “Unhappy China,” a 2009 book advocating a muscular Chinese foreign policy, which the government’s propaganda department is said to promote. He cited the so-called color revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia as examples. “It is not really regime change, directly,” he said. “It is more like they use the Internet to sow chaos.”

- 音節
- múscular Christiánity
Muscular Christianity is a term for a movement during the Victorian era which stressed the need for energetic Christian activism in combination with an ideal of vigorous masculinity. It was most associated with the English writers Charles Kingsley and Thomas Hughes, though the name was bestowed by others.
Kingsley and Hughes promoted physical strength and health (at least for men) as well as an active pursuit of Christian ideals in personal life and politics.
The term has also been applied to later movements that combine physical and Christian spiritual development.
