The teacher occupies a special place in the history of any nation or the whole humankind because s/he educates and develops creators of the future. Therefore, it is necessary to understand fundamental concepts because their definition is a significant factor in the development of science and, to a big extent, predetermines the efficiency of problem solutions. This is particularly important for educational sciences, which imply human spiritual powers that exceed the cause-effect relationship. The category of ugdymas (education) was introduced by S. Šalkauskis during the period of the Independent Lithuania, and its content compares to upbringing in its broad sense in other languages. Such approach is also supported by other scientists (Laužikas, Maceina), who expanded the concept of education: the borders of this complex phenomena were defined, the genesis that complies with the human nature was revealed, the functions of education, based on inborn powers, were highlighted, the most important features of education were singled out and interweaving of activities of the educator and the educatee was shown. Only during the last decade of the soviet occupation a return to the category of education was observed again, whereas its fundamental extension was ensured after the Restoration of Lithuania’s Independence, when its boundaries (complying with the paradigm of liberal education, which is grounded on the spiritual origin of a human being and provides sense to the upbringing function in a contemporary manner) were determined at all levels (those of educational policy, theory, methodology). Having adopted The Thesaurus for Education Systems in Europe, the problems emerged as the main functions of education were eliminated from the active usage despite their huge significance defining the place of the teacher in the process of education. Since ancient times the activities of the teacher have been identified with his/her upbringing powers, which link with the maturity of teacher’s personality, as the most important and authentic instrument of education. It directly influences (evokes, elevates and encourages) the spread of the educatee’s personality and simultaneously ensures highest achievements in his/her cognitive activities (knowledge, abilities, skills). Moreover, rapid development of technologies leads to an increasing importance of personal qualities of employees that enable the control and change of their own powers. The fact that the exceptionality of the teacher is predetermined by his or her spiritual values is not even questioned. Therefore, their spread should comprise the core of pedagogical studies, whereas the study process should become education, which empowers preparation to teach others.

The article considers the historical aspects of the development of corruption from ancient times to the present. The study analyzed the existing views of various thinkers on this negative phenomenon. The study found that the analysis of corruption as a negative social phenomenon is not possible without a study of its historical past, the accumulation of knowledge to understand the preconditions for its emergence and spread in a given area. The study of historical aspects of the development of corruption contributes to a more objective adaptation to change and helps to more accurately predict the fight against this phenomenon in the future. During the analysis of historical aspects of anti-corruption policy development, they tried to investigate the main origins of this non-agent phenomenon, its evolution, the nature of its origin, because the study of historical experience will contribute to positive changes in today's conditions. The study found that all mentions of corruption as a negative socio-economic, political, legal and moral phenomenon that arises as a result of inefficient use of civil servants. The writing of the article is based on the hypothesis that the historical aspects of the development of anti-corruption policy need to be deepened and objectively assess the connection between the past and the present, predicting the future. The evolution of corruption is an integral part of the evolution of countries, which has contributed to the transformation of bribery into a system of complex phenomena, not only local but also global. The study of genesis, its scientific understanding through the historical aspects of development in society will contribute to the formation of objective conclusions, avoiding the existing mistakes of the previous generation, through the use of experience. The study of historical aspects of anti-corruption policy is relevant due to the urgent need to identify and improve modern mechanisms to prevent the emergence and spread of this complex negative social phenomenon, given its complex and long history of development, which has some differences in different countries but has the same social-political and economic consequences.

This article examines the appropriation and redirection of the Gothic in two contemporary, Native-centered feature films that concern a history that can be said to haunt many Native North American communities today: the history of Indian boarding schools. Georgina Lightning’s Older than America (2008) and Kevin Willmott’s The Only Good Indian (2009) make use of Gothic conventions and the figures of the ghost and the vampire to visually relate the history and horrors of Indian boarding schools. Each of these Native-centered films displays a cinematic desire to decenter Eurocentric histories and to counter mainstream American genres with histories and forms of importance to Native North American peoples. Willmott’s film critiques mythologies of the West and frontier heroism, and Lightning attempts to sensitize non-Native viewers to contemporary Native North American concerns while also asserting visual sovereignty and affirming spiritual values.
