Wilmington, DE - The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), a national educational organization headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, recently announced the winners of its third annual International Culture of Enterprise Student Essay Contest. With nearly $20,000 in prize money at stake, undergraduates from around the globe competed for these coveted awards by submitting a scholarly essay addressing the question: "Can Character and Community Survive in an Age of Globalization?"

The fifth place prize of $1,000 was awarded to Trevor Shunk for his essay titled "The Crisis of our Age: The Family in an Age of Globalization."

Shunk, of Loveland, Ohio, and a junior at Hillsdale College studying political science and English, described his proper conception of ordered liberty in his winning essay:

"Economics must be re-centered around the dignity of the human person, who lives not alone but as part of a family and community -- who flourishes or deteriorates according to the health of those institutions. Contrary to the philosophy behind globalization, the market cannot serve as its own foundation. Rather, the family must be restored to its proper place as the foundation of commercial society. Certainly, this will be difficult to achieve. However, with a remembrance of what people really are for, family and community can be saved."
