Institute grade 13 student Tony
_McQuail last week was named top
winner of the Hydro Award for the
Ontario Public School Trustee
'Association Oral Communication
Festival at Glencoe. He will now
go on to the provincial finals.
The context of Mr. McQuail's.
speech follows:
The next 50 ' years will be
decisive in determining man's
future, the world's future; and the
future of individuality. For the
first time in its history; mankind
has the abilityto destroy not only
individual's or'groups of
individuals" but the whole world.
This may be accomplished by,_
pollution or nuclear, chemical, or
biological warfare This' ability
for ' self-destruction, when
coupled . with the increasing
population and ensuing material
scarcity has begun a period of
crisis. If individuals cannot cope (9
'with these problems,
governments willhave to assume
More control. They will do this by
'increasing centralization and
governmental power. This
increase in governmental control
will ,,result 'in a corresponding
loss of individual' freedom which'
will not disturb the governments.
A group of individuals may
demand rational responses from
their government and actual
solutions to difficult problems.
Masses are notably irrational and
are easily• controlled by the
manipulation of power and the
mass Media both of which are
increasingly under. governmental
supervision. "
The second threat to
