Text meme shows pic of Santa and reads: When I was teaching a course in Management and Organizational
Systems at the International Center, I would play a clip from Miracle on 34th Street to show that industrial psychology had become so well-known by 1947 that it was a key part of the film's plot. Mrs.
Walker, the head of personnel for Macy's fires Kris Kringle because he's delusional. However, Mr. Macy himself wants to keep him! To solve this dilemma, Mrs. Walker sends Kringle to the store's on-staff psychologist.
Since I had many international students, I would introduce the clip by first asking: Who can explain what Santa Claus means to Americans?
A man who had been in the Turkish Army almost leapt out of his seat to explain: "He's a big fat man in a red suit who gives presents to children AND HE'S FROM MY COUNTRY!"
He was right! Saint Nicholas was from Myra, which is located in the country now known as the Republic of Turkey.
