Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, Note: 2,0, Hochschule Niederrhein in Mönchengladbach , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit wird insbesondere die mögliche Wertentwicklung der Riester-Rente unter Berücksichtigung, der gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Beitragsgarantie betrachtet und diese, mit der Wertentwicklung eines Aktiensparplan als Form der Altersvorsorge verglichen. Im Vorfeld werden die Grundzüge der Alterssicherung in Deutschland umrissen und das Konzept der Riester-Rente neben den Hintergründen ihrer Entstehung thematisiert. Im Hauptteil der Arbeit folgt dann eine Betrachtung des Aktiensparplans zur Altersvorsorge sowie anschließend eine Gegenüberstellung unter dem Augenmerk der Wertentwicklung. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse in einem Fazit zusammengefasst und hierbei einige Ideen zur Optimierung der Riesterrente angebracht.Im Zuge des demographischen Wandels und den damit verbundenen Rentenreformen wurde das Rentenniveau immer weiter abgesenkt. So erhält ein Durchschnittsrentner heutzutage eine Rente von knapp 906 ¿, hierauf müssen allerdings noch Steuern und Kranken- sowie Pflegeversicherungsbeiträge gezahlt werden, sodass oftmals weniger als 850 ¿ zum Leben bleiben. Viele Rentner sind auf weitere Alterseinkünfte angewiesen, um ihrem Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten. Nicht wenige müssen sogar staatliche Unterstützung, wie z.B. die Grundsicherung in Anspruch nehmen.Daher ist es heutzutage nahezu unerlässlich, privat für das Alter vorzusorgen. Um einen zusätzlichen Anreiz hierfür zu schaffen, hat der Staat im Jahr 2001, die sogenannte Riesterrente, benannt nach dem damaligen Bundesarbeitsminister Walter Riester, verabschiedet. Sie sollte vor allem Geringverdienern und kinderreichen Familien eine private Altersvorsorge durch die staatliche Förderung erst ermöglichen, denn oftmals stehen diesen Personenkreis geringe finanzielle Möglichkeiten zur Altersvorsorge zur Verfügung.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Document from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary, language: English, abstract: Like in most parts of Namibia, Christianity plays a major role in the Rehoboth community. The goal of Christian ethics in any community is to glorify God. Many people in Rehoboth would agree with that statement, in principle. However, as Heinz Mouton's research shows, Pentecostal and mainline Protestant preachers in Rehoboth offer little-to-no ethical application of key passages, such as Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Mouton argues that this, in part, explains why the lifestyles of many Rehoboth Christians differ significantly from the ethical values of God's Kingdom recorded in the New Testament. His plea to the Rehoboth church, therefore, is for stronger teaching and preaching that emphasises the ethics of Christ's Kingdom, and how they touch all aspects of human relationships: from the workplace, to the neighbourhood, to the family home. 72 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 75.0, University of Ghana, Legon, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the security issues and its reasons for the region West Africa. Furthermore the author explains the trade agreement Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and its impacts as well as solutions.ECOWAS was formed on May 28, 1975 to promote economic integration in West Africa. The realization of this economic integration agenda was largely due to Nigeria's regional leadership in West Africa. However, Nigeria's attempts were met with stiff opposition from the Francophone bloc led by Cote d'Ivoire with support from France in the 1970s. Though often blown out of proportion, there has historically been a raging antagonism between the Anglophone and Francophone blocs in West Africa. On its part, fearing Nigeria's domination in any West African integration scheme, France supported Cote d'Ivoire's hostility towards Nigeria. In a February-March 1971 tour in most of the former French colonies, President Pompidou warned against Nigeria's domination and urged them to harmonize their efforts to counter balance the heavy weight of Nigeria. The result was the formation of West African Economic Community's (CEAO) in 1973. In the words of Engel and Jouanjean (2015), France perceived Nigeria as a major threat to its chasse gardée, French West Africa, as it made use of Cote d'Ivoire's economic might and Senegal's cultural heritage. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 100, , course: Political Economics, language: English, abstract: This article made comparison between 'embedded liberalism' and 'neoliberalism'. The article also traced the basis for the shift from 'embedded liberalism' to the emergence of 'neoliberalism'. In order for the government to intervene in economic policies matters; democracy was the driving force for the spread of embedded liberalism. Macroeconomics was introduced by the government of advanced economies to address three critical areas of the economic policies, namely: inflation, market output, and unemployment.The other aspect of this period was to win the cold war and to empower the United States as the global hegemon. The departure from embedded liberalism to neoliberalism in 1971 was due to domestic economic pressure of the US. President Nixon's administration ended the 'convertibility of the dollar into gold' policy regime. The government had to float the dollar in the international market allowing market forces to determine the value of the dollar currency.The administration of Reagan and Thatcher institutionalised 'neoliberalism' as an alternative to 'embedded liberalism'. The adoption of 'neoliberalism' led both administrations to implement monetary policies which led to stripping labour from further threatening the economies of the United States and the United Kingdom with inflation. The overall implications were increased profits for capitalists or entrepreneurs as against employees of the labour market. The analysis revealed that there was an increased unemployment rate due to high-interest rates and deliberate policies to encourage recession in order to forestall inflation. 16 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, University of Queensland (St. Lucia Campus), course: DRAM3103 - Topics in Theatre Research, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses two ways in which scholars have interpreted Joshua Sobol's play 'Ghetto' (originally published 1989). It outlines the problems that arise from each interpretation of the play, but also discusses how and why scholars came to those interpretations.The derived conclusion from placing these two interpretations in conversation with each other is that Sobol may have been trying to both give an historical recount of the horrors experienced in the Jewish Ghettos set up by the Nazis, and giving subtle critique on how the Israeli government is treating its Palestinian neighbours. While this essay does not aim to provide definitive conclusions as to what Sobol's motives were behind the writing of 'Ghetto', it certainly opens up discussions on how historical contexts can affect the way in which the message of a play or performance is perceived and interpreted. 20 pp. Englisch.…

The majority of Ghatak's films focus on the post-Independence Bengali family and community, with a sustained critique of the emerging petite bourgeoisie in Bengal, specifically in the urban environment of Kolkata. 20 pp. Englisch.…

To achieve this aim, it is important to acknowledge that bullying is understood differently among different groups of people especially among students. For instance, what one person may consider to be bullying could be considered as normal behaviour by another person.

However, a considerable number of people often fails to get over the personal trauma that results from bullying. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Syria is choosen firsty, because many scholars and writers actually claim that Syria is already a secularist country which is a highly controversial and debatable claim. Secondly, because the (political) Islam in Syria does not have the same power it has in other Muslim Arabic countries and this makes Syria a somehow good candidate for becoming a secularist country.This paper contains four main chapters and it is structured as follows: After the introduction, in the first chapter secularism and secularization is briefly defined and then it will explained why the religion Islam and the (political) Islam cannot be separated. In the second chapter it is presented the point of view which says that Islam is deep inside incompatible with secularism. On the contrary side, namely in the third chapter, it is presented the other point of view which claims that Islam can very well come along with secularism. The fourth chapter will be the conclusion. Furthermore, a connection with Syria based on the content of the chapters will be made at the end of the first and the last chapter. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Religion, grade: 2,1, University of Hildesheim, language: English, abstract: The following paper will deal with the concept of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth in the Hindu religion, as Hindus, in contrary to the Western cultures and monotheistic religions, believe that there is life after death, and before the present life, there was a beforelife because they believe that it does not make sense that people suddenly appear from nowhere, meaning not the biological body, but the 'soul' or the 'spirit'.First, a definition of the different concepts of afterlife in different metaphysical models and of the term reincarnation from its semantic point of view and, how it is defined in other religions, will be given. Furthermore, Hinduism, itself, will be introduced, as it is important to understand the essence of this religion to be able to understand the concept of reincarnation. Additionally, the concept of reincarnation will be described. That includes the processes of birth, death and rebirth.Finally, the arguments in favor and against the theory of reincarnation will be discussed.The question, about what happens after death, is a philosophical one, which has been worrying humanity for centuries. By trying to categorize the different concepts, regarding what happens after death, three concepts, varying among cultures and religions, can be differentiated.First, there is the concept of denial which states that the existence of the individual ends with their death, as it is widely believed in the Western world.The second one is the concept of completion - in many religions, as, for example, in Christianity, the human life is seen as a preparation for a life after, somewhere else, in a different state of existence, like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Limbus, etc.And the third concept is the concept of rebirth, meaning that the mental part of the person, may it be called the 'soul' or the 'spirit', is reborn many times in new bodies on earth. 20 pp. Englisch.…

I will argue that this movie not only criticizes the Korean War and the Cold War in general, but I will also showcase how societal anxieties of an escalation, for example in the form of a nuclear strike, are processed. I will argue that the idealism of Cold War liberalism, which stands in stark contrast to communism, is shown in this movie and that it shapes the way masculinity is portrayed and favored. In this way, the movie can be analyzed as a mirror both of societal processes and anxieties, and perceptions of ideal masculinity of the American culture in the 1950s. 16 pp. Englisch.…

A key distinction is made between fears, a lack of trust, and insecurities. It seems that a lack of self-trust arises both due to insecurities and fear, that both get provoked from deleterious cognitive patterns, negative or lack of life experience, or -knowledge. The paper provides arguments and evidence to support the view that jealousy involves a lack of (self-)trust because jealousy is an evaluative feeling and an episodically occurring state assigned to a specific source (cause) and reflects inner experiences. Furthermore, it is argued that an adjusted self tends more to feel jealous than an unadjusted self. 16 pp. Englisch.…

As technology's efficiencies and its effectiveness had been sensed by both customer and firm, this resulting in a competitive business model among particular service industries; Supermarket businesses. Therefore, the need for a tech-based yet fruitful innovation has become increasingly relevant towards grocery businesses. However, during past decades, numbers of researchers and business experts' have narrowed their focus to a term called self-service technology (SST). This cutting-edge advancement enhances firm's performances in productivity and profitability spectrums (Parasuraman, 1996). Next, Meuter et al. (2000) has outlined SST as 'technological interfaces that enable customers to obtain services from the staffs of the particular service firm without any direct involvement with them. On the business viewpoint, cost reductions and improved efficiency are the major highlights of having a SST system. With aid of SST, supermarket business can now serve various service demand from customers as SST system is more consistent and stable and it disregard worker's state of mind who sometimes is affected by personal issue or mood swing. With that so, SST creates a good added value which time and place conveniences are escalated to both supermarket manager and customer. In practices, SST comes in various channels ranging from self-service installations to self-service checkout machine. In this research proposal paper, I will examine the significance of Self-Service Checkouts usage on customer loyalty and their satisfaction given the service quality in the Singapore's supermarket context with relevant journals and examples considered. 24 pp. Englisch. …

The notion of 'The child is father of the man' appears to be ingrained in earlier works such as the volume 'Lyrical Ballads' (1798) as well. The poems discussed in this paper are 'We are Seven' and 'Anecdote for Fathers'. Is the child a teacher or the origin of the adult Or is it something inferior How does the portrayal of the children in the two poems differ and in what ways are they similar The interpretation and comparison of these poems will provide an insight into Wordsworth's Romantic child.In these two ballads adult narrators describe their encounters and conversations with a child. The focus here is clearly on the descriptive aspect (e.g. the child's appearance and behaviour). To get an historical background of the prevalent ideas of childhood and children of Wordsworth's contemporaries, a short summary of the two dominant philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke, who both coined the Romantic views on childhood, is provided (Chapter 2). The analysis of the poems themselves is divided into several subcategories: the portrayal of the child (3.1.), the child in relation to the adult (3.2.), the child's use of language (3.3.) and the child's worldview (3.4.). The categories have been chosen in consideration of the research questions whether Wordsworth's children are portrayed positively. 24 pp. Englisch.…

Three specific objectives tries to explore which are (a) to obtain a clear information on the technology used in evaluating teachers in the classroom; (b) to determine the various effects of different technology used in classroom evaluation; and (c) to identify a concept to be used for future research on the implementation of technology in support to the supervisor in observing classroom. The dissertation of O'Brien in Chicago is best to use as basis of implementation in the local area.In this millennial era, still a classroom is commonly known structure used in transferring knowledge and skills of an expert teacher to the learners. The students are expected to learn the subject matter that is presented in the classroom facilitated from the instruction, discussion and guidance of a teacher. Expertise of teacher in a subject matter is equally necessary and important with 'HOW' to successfully achieve the process of learning. The process of this transfer is described in many ways and many forms which can be manifested through observation. 24 pp. Englisch.…

The country has a well developed retail sector buoyed with strong consumer base, high disposable incomes, high literacy rates and its strategic location. This presented a review of macro environment, competitive and SWOT analyses of the Singapore's retail industry to determine how Walmart Inc can successful enter the market. The review found that the strength of Singapore lies on its favorable business laws and regulations, business-friendly tax rates and high disposable incomes among Singaporeans. Singapore is also highly developed in terms of physical infrastructure and serves as one of the busiest air traffic and sea port hubs in the world. The high disposable income and economic freedom makes it hugely attractive for retail business like Walmart. Stable political climate and socio-cultural diversity also attracts new businesses to the country. However, the study found that corona virus pandemic and high labour and rental costs posed the biggest threats to Singapore retail industry. Nonetheless, the paper suggests adoption of franchising market entry strategy as the most appropriate. Franchising is the most appropriate approach due to low costs and reduced risks of failure. To be successful, the retailer must select a franchisee of good reputation and with a shared vision. Lastly, Walmart can select a franchisee and prepare to enter Singapore market after country opens up for business in the aftermath of the current pandemic. 36 pp. Englisch. …

The war originated from the inequalities within the country that drove the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (Spanish acronym FARC) to oppose the government. The FARC was formed by uprising peasants and members of the Colombian communist party and was hence strongly left-wing oriented. The government has always been positioned on the far right and was supported by various paramilitary groups. The war deepened existing inequalities and illegal groups gained significant power by means of corruption and drug trafficking.It was only after five decades that in 2016 an agreement could be reached between the leader of the FARC and the former president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos. Millions of Colombians found hope in this agreement for the end of rural deprivation due to lasting peace.But is a peace agreement capable of achieving such an outcome Being the oldest democracy in South America, the rule of law has existed in Colombia for a long time. Paradoxically, Colombia is known for its quite resilient constitution from 1991 and its extensive legislative framework. But previous agreements, reforms and laws have not been able to end the conflict. Against this background, this paper intends to examine the relationship between law and development using the peace agreement as an example. The paper will focus on Chapter One of the Agreement which contains the Comprehensive Rural Reform (CRR) and attacks the root causes of the armed conflict. This is why it is the part of the Agreement most likely to achieve sustainable development.When speaking of sustainable development, I am referring to a 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'.In order to understand whether such a development can be achieved through a peace agreement, the paper is structured into four main sections. Following the introduction Colombia's historic background will be discussed to create an understanding of current issues in the country's development. Second, I am going to outline the content of the CRR and see whether it addresses the named problems. Section 3 shows how far the implementation process of the CRR has gone so far. In the final part I will analyze the implementation progress and explain causes for delays. 36 pp. Englisch. …

In the first descriptive part, it critically examines the common management tools mentioned in the literature. It is limited to the treatment of three tools: The Ansoff Matrix according to Harry Igor Ansoff, Porters Five Forces (industry structure analysis) and the Business Model Canvas according to Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur. In the following analysis, the work applies these tools practically to the fantasy company, 'Xeltronics 1'. What does strategic management deal with In the Anglo-American literature, management is used in two variants of meaning. On the one hand, management in the functional sense aims to describe the processes and functions, such as planning, organization, leadership and control, that are necessary in organizations based on the division of labor. Management in the institutional sense describes the people, who perform management tasks, their activities and their roles. There are the two main components of the strategy term are the time element and the reference object. According to their ethymological origin, the terms strategy and strategic are strongly associated with the term 'longer-term'. It is difficult to determine precisely when strategic management was established as an independent field of research. The year 1977 is mentioned as the 'year of birth', for example, when a conference was held at the University of Pittsburgh in the USA, whose contributions were presented in 1979 by Schendel and Hofer under the title 'Strategie Management. A New View of Business Policy and Planning'. Behind the term 'strategic management' is a management philosophy that expresses rethinking. Basically, the group is experiencing a similar phenomenon here as in the 1960s, when the term marketing also signalled the need to rethink after the original sellers' markets had turned into buyers' markets. Although there are many different ideas associated with the concept of strategic management, a common goal can be identified: Strategic management is able to control and guide the long-term evolution of the company. The role of the manager is important, but according to a study, almost 85% of the German population think that their salaries are high to high. 28 pp. Englisch.…
