Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulpädagogik, Note: 1,0, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Summerhill blieb in all den Jahren seiner Schulphilosophie stets treu, sodass die drei Grundsätze der Freiheit, Freiwilligkeit und der demokratischen Mitbestimmung weiterhin die Rahmenbedingungen für das Lernen sowie Leben der Schüler vorgeben. In der vorliegenden Hausarbeit soll daher untersucht werden, wie diese Leitlinien im heutigen Summerhill umgesetzt werden.

Unzufrieden mit der dortigen Schulleitung machte sich der Gründer Alexander Sutherland Neill kurze Zeit später zunächst im österreichischen Sonntagsberg selbstständig, zog dann mit seiner Schule nach Lyme Regis und letztlich 1927 nach Leiston (Suffolk) um, wo sie sich bis heute befindet. Neill revolutionierte mit Summerhill die Idee einer zwanglosen, am Kind orientierten Erziehung, indem er die Unterrichtspflicht aufhob und den Schülern weitreichende Selbst- sowie Mitbestimmungsrechte einräumte. Dies stieß zwar bei einigen Pädagogen auf Begeisterung, auf der anderen Seite wurde Neills Erziehungskonzept aber ebenso kritisiert. Die langen Auseinandersetzungen mit der britischen Regierung erreichten im März 1999 ihren Höhepunkt, als staatliche Schulinspektoren mit der Schließung der Alternativschule drohten. Es kam zu einem Gerichtsverfahren, aus dem Summerhill schließlich als Gewinner hervorging und das seine Bekanntheit weltweit steigerte. 24 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, Note: 1,7, Universität Bayreuth (Lehrstuhl für Betriebswirtschaftslehre I), Veranstaltung: Finanzwirtschaft und Bankbetriebslehre, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll einen Überblick über die sowohl klassischen als auch modernen Performancemaße verschaffen und der Fragestellung nachgehen, welches dieser Performancemaße im Besonderen für Privatanleger zu empfehlen ist. Privatanleger nutzen Internetseiten wie onvista oder Finanzen100 um Informationen über Anlagemöglichkeiten zu erhalten.Die sehr große Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Wertpapieren am Kapitalmarkt macht es insbesondere Privatanlegern schwer, die für sie richtigen auszuwählen und Portefeuilles zu erstellen, welche ihrer Risikoneigung und Renditeerwartungen entsprechen.Aus diesem Grund empfiehlt es sich, in Fonds zu investieren, um auf das Wissen von Experten zurückgreifen zu können, die solche Fonds führen. Das Wissen dieser Fondsmanager beruht darauf, besonders gut Diversifikations- und Timing Effekte erzielen zu können.Um Fonds aber beurteilen zu können, bedarf es einer Methode, damit Privatanleger Fonds miteinander vergleichen können. Hierfür eignen sich vor allem Performancemaße, die die Leistung eines Fonds in einer Zahl darstellen sollen, sodass der Privatanleger ein Entscheidungskriterium an die Hand bekommt. Man unterscheidet klassische und moderne Performancemaße, die sich hauptsächlich durch die Darstellung des Risikos unterschieden. 32 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Internship Report from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 4.0, University of Miami, course: Internship, language: English, abstract: This work analysis an internship at a watchdog program against nuclear dumping at San Onofre and discusses some strategies to mobilize people. Marketing actions are the focus.Public engagement in environmental and public safety decisions are critical in maintaining and preserving National and State parks. Maintaining regulations regarding safety practices of active nuclear power plants and decommissioning power plants are necessary for the safety of nearby communities, protection of surrounding wildlife and the prevention of a major nuclear accident. As fossil fuels are a known major contributor to climate change, the use of nuclear power around the world, and in the United States, is a topic of controversy. Nuclear power in the U.S. accounts for more than 30% of the world's nuclear generated electricity. Citizens and policy makers often dispute whether nuclear power is, or could be in the future, a sufficient alternative to fossil fuels.Less understood by the public is the issue of what can be done with nuclear waste generated from nuclear power plants. It is often misconstrued that those advocating for safe disposal and transportation of nuclear waste are against nuclear power, which is another issue, yet not separate from the topic of nuclear waste disposal. The San Onofre State Beach Park in San Onofre, California is the home of the decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) where nuclear waste is being 'temporarily' stored. The corporation in charge of both sites, Southern California Edison, has obscured and intentionally concealed important facts regarding public safety.The public has the right to know what is happening at the sites because it is a critical matter of public safety. The public cannot push for policy change on behalf of the safety of those nearby and the environment without an understanding of what Southern California Edison is actually doing with the nuclear waste. Public Watchdogs of San Diego is working diligently to accomplish two things; to expose the truth of what is happening at the San Onofre State Beach Park and to stop the completion of a substandard 'temporary' storage solution that could potentially endanger all life in Southern California. The devastating repercussions of a nuclear accident at the San Onofre State Beach Park could last for thousands of years. 48 pp. Englisch.

Today India is dealing with the problem where it is more dependent upon other countries to fulfil its requirements by importing goods. One of such industries is toys industry. This industry may always remind about a child but the significance of this industry is not something trivial. India consists of a very big market for toys because of its humongous population. As India is a developing country so, it is clear that the standard of living will rise in India and this will give a boost to the toy's market in India. The paradox here is that, India has one of the biggest market of toys but India's toys industry is struggling a lot. The government of India is planning to boost this industry.This will fetch two desirable result for our nation. Firstly, it will strengthen the vision of 'vocal for local'. Secondly, it will also culminate the attachment towards the Indian culture and tradition in the heart of an Indian child. The government is planning so many things to boost this industry. Prime Minister, in the monthly edition to his 'Man ki Baat' has emphasised on the importance of this industry in achieving self-reliance. He had also emphasised that in the contemporary times china is dominating toy industries in whole of the world and even in a humongous market like India . PM has also urged entrepreneurs to innovate in this sector and develop indigenous toy industry. 24 pp. Englisch.

Weber paraphrases incentive systems as having the aim to encourage employees positively through their performance, with benefits for the organization to reach its stated goals and objectives. In turn, Bartscher identifies incentive systems as the sum of all created working conditions, directly or indirectly to impact the motivation and thus work performance of employees, evoking a certain desired behavior. Coherently, incentive systems aim to control behavior of employees. But they do not only support a certain behavior, such systems additionally are designed to avoid unwanted behavior. Think of any internal regulations which intent to avoid behavior patterns by providing rules and/or punishments. Furthermore, as an example, a low performance might result in a curtailed income and loss of personal reputation. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, , language: English, abstract: This document discusses how the Court of Justice of the European Union has over the years adopted and used the Direct effect, Indirect effect and State liability principles to make the EU Laws more effective, both in terms of interpretation and application, especially with regards to EU Directives.The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) whose composition and functions were enunciated in Section 5 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) 2008, was established in 1952, with the aim of interpreting the Laws of the European Union, making sure that the application of these laws are uniform and consistent in all EU countries. The CJEU also 'settles legal disputes between national governments and EU institutions.' The CJEU is divided into two courts. It gives rulings on cases brought before it and in doing so, it is required to give preliminary rulings in its capacity to interpret the laws (among other capacities) 'to ensure EU law is properly applied, but courts in different countries might interpret it differently. If a national court is in doubt about the interpretation or validity of an EU law, it can ask the Court for clarification. The same mechanism can be used to determine whether a national law or practice is compatible with EU law.' 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: What is the main cause of polarization in the contemporary United States and what, if anything can be done to fix it Party activists play a leading role in polarization of parties along several issue dimensions in modern American politics. In this essay, I argue that interest groups, lobbyists and other activists have become integral elements of American political parties. These activists work within party structures to advance their policy goals through selection of candidates for various positions such as the Supreme Court or lobbying elected party officials to adopt certain positions. Therefore, unlike conventional party structures, party activism is linked to the increase in polarization in the contemporary American society.Since the turn of the millennium, American political parties have become increasingly reinvigorated. Funding and staffing of party organizations has increased significantly. For instance, in 2012, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC), and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised $290.4 million, $145.9 million, and $183.8 million respectively compared to $52.8 million, $4.1 million, and $3.8 million, respectively raised in 1976 campaigns (all sums in 2012 dollars). Most of these funds come from individual and corporate donations. However, party activists play crucial role in making these parties attractive to donors thus influencing party positions. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this essay is to assess the impact of the behaviour of a State, which contrary to a rule of customary international law, on the existence of rule of customary international law, in terms of whether it undermines the existence of that rule or strengthens it. To be able to do this, it is expedient that the following issues are addressed: What is Customary International Law What are rules of customary international law Contrary state behavior.Customary International Law is one of the major sources of International law and is described in Article 38(1)(b) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, 1946, as 'general practice accepted as law.' According to the Legal Information Institute of the Cornell Law School, 'Customary international law refers to international obligations arising from established international practices, as opposed to obligations arising from formal written conventions and treaties. Customary international law results from a general and consistent practice of states that they follow from a sense of legal obligation.' It was also defined by Judge Read in Fisheries (UK v Norway) (1951), as the generalization of the practice of States. 16 pp. Englisch.

It aims to determine the economic value of the ecosystem services in order to guide in the decision-making process for its future conservation as well as to sustain its ecological and socio-economical functions.Considering the purpose and objectives of this paper the following guiding questions are addressed in the research: What are the benefits the communities derive from the Sakumono wetland What challenges will the community be facing in their efforts to preserve the wetland and due to the presence of the wetland What would they give to see the conservation of the wetland Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that occupy about 6 % of the world's land surface. They comprise both land ecosystems that are strongly influenced by water, and aquatic ecosystems with special characteristics due to shallowness and proximity to land. Although various different classifications of wetlands exist, a useful approach is one provided by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It divides wetlands into three main categories of wetland habitats: marine/coastal wetlands, inland wetlands, and man-made wetlands. The marine and coastal wetlands include estuaries, inter-tidal marshes, brackish, saline and freshwater lagoons, mangrove swamps, as well as coral reefs and rocky marine shores such as sea cliffs. 16 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2019 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Newer History, European Unification, grade: 1,5, University of Amsterdam, language: English, abstract: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the aims of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in conducting the Treaty of Moscow as the core of 'Ostpolitik' and assess the role of the pursuit of German reunification behind increased cooperation of the FRG with the USSR. In order to answer these questions, I will focus on the main aims desired by concluding the Soviet-German treaty and the origins of Ostpolitik.The paper will be divided into three main parts. Firstly, I will give a brief introduction on the 'Neue Ostpolitk' under Brandt and construe the Treaty of Moscow as core agreement of this policy, as it was the first official agreement, which adhered to the will of improved relations with the USSR. In the second part I will further examine the underlying vision of Willy Brandt in pursuing Ostpolitik and how he presented this vision. In 1971, Brandt was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize for his attempt to reconcile tensions between East and West.With regard to this accomplishment, I will analyze and interpret a speech held by the chancellor on the occasion of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize to disclose on how Brandt used the narrative of European stability to promote his pursuit of German reunification. Ultimately, I will coalesce my findings and try to answer whether the treaty, as core agreement of Ostpolitik, can be seen as just an atmospheric success , a materialization of nationalist aims or as decisive step in the process of reconciling tensions within Europe and advancing détente in Europe. 16 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Saarland University, course: Proseminar Posthumanism in Contemporary British Literature and Culture, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will analyse the representation of the gendered and raced androids in Alex Garland's science-fiction dystopia Ex Machina (2015), providing a close reading through a feminist lens, and critically reflecting upon the construction of their posthuman identities in a gendered and raced human-like body. I argue that, even though the film may have some subversive aspects regarding its representation of patriarchal power structures, it fails to dismantle certain sexist and racial stereotypes, but instead contributes to their solidification by assigning them to the posthuman subject. This visual portrayal of discrimination against women and especially non-white women in a system that privileges men and white people is not only a reflection of prevalent socio-cultural and political conditions, but also the cinematographic result of the white patriarchal system itself, whether it be with regard to the film's literary design as well as its mise-en-scène and cinematography. In order to prove my point, I will rely on Laura Mulvey's essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' (1975), extending it to the representation of racial difference, since 'gender intersects with race, class, ethnic, sexual, and regional modalities of discursively constituted identities'.With advancing technology, artificial intelligence continues to be portrayed in literature and visual culture, affecting our current and future views of the human, as well as those of 'the posthuman'. This subject is 'the figure' of Critical Posthumanism, a theoretical approach trying to discuss the question 'what it means to be human' and functioning 'like an anamnesis and a rewriting of the human and humanism'. One of its key components, as Rosi Braidotti points out, is to question the traditional view of Humanism, which places a European, male and white ideal at the core of the universe. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (FTSK), language: English, abstract: In this paper the bilingual language storage and its influence on translation is observed. It will be explored how different models of translation see the language memory storage and bilingual translation and how these models work. Furthermore, it will be analysed how these models were developed, proven and how they are used in translation. Most importantly, the paper will focus on the probably most popular and most important model of language storage and translation: The Revised Hierarchical Model. Based on this model by Kroll and Stewart (1994), it will be analysed how it came to be and how it influenced thinking in translation. Lastly, some negatives about the Revised Hierarchical Model will be explained.Bilingualism is the occurrence when a person or a whole society is able to speak two different languages. To acquire the status of a Bilingual, one can either grow up with two languages at the same time - e.g. first-generation immigrants speaking their mother tongue at home but speaking and learning another language in school - or studying a second language. The latter can be accomplished at different stages in life and in different environments, e.g. school, language courses, online etc.Being a Bilingual has helped many people throughout the world. It makes it easier to communicate with others, and it is a very important part of a translator's or an interpreter's life. And, for example, English is the world's most important commercial and trade language. This makes being bilingual necessary for many daily activities in life. 20 pp. Englisch.

Moreover, both poems include the theme of walking. Hughes and McKay, who write about their emotions and experiences with Blacks being oppressed by society, do not actually take a walk or journey in the poems, which will be further discussed in the following chapters. The selected pieces differ from each other in their style and the way the theme of walking is presented which has to be examined. In literature classes, one should draw attention on these works as they are different from common Walk Poems and deal with important topics.The second chapter will have a closer look on the Harlem Renaissance. Apart from the historical background, emphasis will be put on the so-called 'Negro-culture' in literature. The mentioned poems by McKay and Hughes will be analyzed with regards to the theme of walking. A conclusion summarizes the results and points out the importance of these literary works in the context of the Harlem Renaissance as well as the representation of Walk Poetry. 24 pp. Englisch.

This review considers studies conducting economic impact evaluations on shark diving and whale watching, as well as social impact studies of tourism development in protected areas.Firstly, the key findings of empirical case studies are presented and analysed, focusing on how these argue for the marketization of marine resources through ecotourism either as a development opportunity or as a means for species conservation. This is followed by an analysis on how this form of environmental governance involves novel forms of power between communities and government institutions. This review argues that marine ecotourism as a means of neoliberal conservation presents opportunities as well as constraints for environmental justice. 16 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,7, Queen Margaret University, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to address the question, whether an understanding of traditional communication theory can contribute to the effective use of social media or not. The question will be addressed by utilising relevant theoretical frameworks as well as examining current developments and dominant debates within PR practice.In order to discuss this topic, it is first necessary to define what traditional communication theory is and what role it plays within PR practice. Thus, the assumption of PR to be an interdisciplinary study constituted of humanities, sociology and communication appears important. Whilst humanities studies focus on the viewpoint of rhetorical and discursive approaches and sociology studies understand communication in terms of systems process by adopting systems theory, communication studies address PR from different 'mindsets'.Human communication is explained with psychological concepts; persuasion is considered to be a goal of both mediated and direct communication; and mass communication focuses on media relations theories and media effects. Derived from this we can conclude that communication theory can be identified as an element of PR practice. Correspondingly. the use of social media is a technique of building media relations, and therefore a subject of mass communication. However, these considerations do not explain which part of communication theory can be identified as traditional.Communication is inevitable in public relations (PR) practice, because it contributes to the building of good relationships between an organisation and its stakeholders with the desired outcome of '.earning understanding and support and influencing opinion and behavior'. PR practitioners manage relations to community, employees, consumer and other stakeholders by understanding and using communication concepts and strategies.Recently, the communication practice of PR practitioners has been challenged by the heavy influence of the revolutionary character of the internet. In other words, they face the challenge of adapting their communication strategies at the same pace as the new technologies and tools are developing. Especially 'the rise of social media' provided a rich debate ground for PR practitioners, PR theorists and academics of different disciplines. 16 pp. Englisch.

It draws on different concepts, such as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and benefit corporations, and argues for a systemic change regarding the relationship between private sector, societies and the natural environment to create an environment for sustainable societies to thrive.In 1972, the simulation study Limits to Growth issued a warning on perpetual economic growth within the system of finite resources of planetary boundaries. Since the threats of ceaseless growth have been recognized, the pursuit of sustainability has been high on the global agenda. The term is premised on the definition of sustainable development from the report Our Common Future, which limits the satisfaction of present needs to the extent it hampers future generations to satisfy their own. It triggered an accruing plethora of diverging definitions, each taking a different angle on the concept in order to meet the manifold prerequisites of its convoluted nature.Due to the ambiguous interpretations of sustainability, there is no objective 'ideal state' societies can aim for. Coomer (1981) elaborates that sustainable societies seek to find 'an equitable relationship with the physical environment (.) [and] will not generate changes that may seriously impair that which sustains [them] [.]', which emphasizes the notion of development rather than achievement. Paired with the 'Brundtland+' definition by Van de Kerk and Manuel (2008), sustainable societies effectuate sustainable development while 'each human being has the opportunity to develop itself in freedom, within a well-balanced society and in harmony with its surroundings' and 'looking for alternative ways of growing'. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 1,0, University of Copenhagen, course: South Asia: Reason and Religion, language: English, abstract: This paper connects the topic of feminist identity with national conflicts and compares two regions in Asia with current nationalistic tendencies. The paper focuses on the regions of Kashmir in Northern India and Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. This seemed appropriate, as both regions share a range of commonalities concerning their specific (post-)colonial development. The paper will investigate common - but also diverging - aspects by focusing on the Hindu / Christian 'self' and the Muslim 'other', the forced annexation by the state and the major political changes from the 2000s.As a second step, the author decided to focus on the role of Muslim women in the conflict situations in Kashmir and Mindanao. While exploring female agency in religio-political movements in India during the course, this essay wanted to find out about its counterpart in the Philippines. In this regard, the guiding questions were: What different forms of female agency can be found in Kashmir and Mindanao How can Muslim women articulate their activism within a male dominated society What are the prerequisites in order to enable emancipatory female activism in a conflict area And what influence do Modi's and Duterte's hyper-masculine politics have on female agency These questions will be approached by analysing the ethnographic research conducted in Kashmir and Mindanao. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Other States, grade: 1,7, Private University of Applied Sciences Goettingen, language: English, abstract: The paper questions what influence high-growth firms in Australia have on the Australian innovation system. Is their influence on the innovation system as significant as their contribution to the Australian economy What role do research and development activities play in this context, especially research and development expenditures It is the aim of this scientific work, especially with publications from the Australian government, to provide answers to these questions. To answer the questions just mentioned, this paper is structured as follows. Section 2 deals entirely with the phenomenon of high-growth firms in Australia. First, a few selected data on the Australian economy are presented and put into context with those of another economy. In addition, two innovation indices are discussed in order to classify Australia's innovative capacity. Sections 2.1 and 2.2 define high-growth firms, explain their typical characteristics and then discuss the performance of high-growth firms and their impact on Australian economic performance.Section 3 continues with the relationship between business performance and innovation. It uses literature and studies to explain the relationship between business performance and innovation and how it is expressed. Building on this, Section 3.1 discusses the role of R&D activities and especially research and development expenditure in high-growth firms in Australia in this relationship. Finally, before concluding this paper, Section 4 provides an outlook on the impact of high-growth firms on Australia's innovation system. First, we define what is meant by a national innovation system and then use this as a basis for answering the main question of this paper. 20 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Rostock, language: English, abstract: The paper intends to show you the relevance of power and authority in David Mitchell's novel 'Cloud Atlas'. To do so this paper investigates the different characters and their identities. Do they all suffer from a kind of oppression and what else do they have in common concerning the question of dominance of stronger people towards weaker These questions will be answered in the first chapter of the main body. Here the reader has to expect an overview of the different actions of the narrators rather than a general study of their characters. The several forms of oppression and the dangers the main characters had, have or will have to fear will be outlined. Furthermore, some other aspects and terms will be mentioned and explained there in general, especially the concept of temporality and its meaning inside the novel. After giving you this review I will concentrate on two main protagonists, Adam Ewing and Sonmi~451. Here again, but in a lot more detail, I will highlight the relevance of colonialism, dominance and slavery in the cases of these two characters. Questions that guide these chapters are the following: What have the narrators done or what have they not done to escape from their fate and what is the solution of their problems In addition to the previous issues and goals I strive to achieve I want to complete this term paper with a conclusion. This conclusion first of all contains a summary of the general aspects dealt with in the main body. Moreover, a thesis will be established that might be controversial and proper to be discussed in subsequent contentions with the same or similar topics and will of course have reference to the overall topic colonialism, dominance and slavery in David Mitchell s 'Cloud Atlas'. 16 pp. Englisch.

The first part of the main chapter demonstrates the different forms of identity crises which are thematised in the novel 'The Buddha of Suburbia' by Hanif Kureishi.At this place some theoretical terms just like hybridity need to be mentioned and explained for a further understanding. Furthermore, the reader gets familiar with some other characters who play an important role in terms of identity. Part two and three of the main body specifically focus on the novel's main protagonist as well as on two major forms of identity crises. First of all Karim's Indian background is taken into account accompanied with the problems his cultural hybridity causes. Afterwards the many sexual experiences the narrator gains in the novel are investigated.

But were the women really only neutral subjects with definite goals of becoming rich through a fortunate and suitable match or were they just suppressed by the power of money and the pressure of maintaining a right reputation And how are women and their position in the 21st century society compared to the role and position of the women in the 19th century Is it possible to compare these two kinds of positions at all Those questions lead us to the main theme of the paper: being a single woman in the 19th and 21st century and the representation of this role in literature. An interesting illustration can be made at the example of the main character Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice' and the main character Bridget Jones in Helen Fielding's 'Bridget Jones' Diary'. 20 pp. Englisch.

Although the majority of his poems became popular after the Second World War, Owen is considered as one of most influential war poets of his times as he set the tone for an entire generation. This paper will show that Wilfred Owen wrote his poem under the influence of French symbolism. The main goal of this paper is to analyze how Owen used symbolic elements in his poem in order to picture the experience of the First World War as so extremely cruel that it does not seem real, but like a nightmare in which the speaker is trapped. 20 pp. Englisch.

Today, 'like' ranks within the top ten words of linguistic corpora of teen language and 'be like' is the most favored quotative of speakers younger than forty. Hence, the paper focuses on the quotative 'be like' and its remarkable pathway of an emerging new linguistic feature of the mid-20th century to one of the core features of teen language and a potentially new standard quotative of the English language in general.Linguistic evidence for the rise of 'be like' presented in this paper is mainly based on the findings of Canadian linguist Sali A. Tagliamonte who analyzed teen language on the basis of several corpora over the past decades. Her 2016 publication Teen Talk sets her apart from many other sociolinguistic studies on the quotative 'be like' as a majority of them have been published in the late 20th century, rendering them partly out of date as 'be like' is still on the rise. Tagliamonte's work not only offers an insight into historic data but also takes the linguistic developments of the early 2000s into account which allows a timely assessment of the seemingly ever-changing quotative 'be like'. In the second section of this paper, other linguists' recent study results will be taken into account to assess 'be like's' status as a quotative of the 21st century. In a third step, differing sociolinguistic implications regarding 'be like' will be illustrated by examining the sociolinguistic implications of 'be like'.The paper hence aims at approaching possible answers to the question of how the rise of 'be like' can be explained by illustrating different stages of development hinged on various generations of speakers based on Tagliamonte's research. The current status of 'be like' is assessed and put into context with popular culture and social media. The emergence of 'be like' will be put into context with stereotypes about teenagers' impact on language change as well as with the so-called Valley Girl phenomenon. By examining the sociolinguistic implications linked to 'be like's' current popularity, it will be shown that 'be like' is not simply a phenomenon of teen language but might instead settle within the English grammar of the 21st century. 20 pp. Englisch.

The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a test that was developed by Raskin and Hall (1979) in order to measure the personality trait of narcissism for research in social psychology. It is the most commonly used test to measure Narcissism, in fact, it is used in over 75% of studies on Narcissism and is based on the definition found in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Research suggests that there are two variants of Narcissism: Grandiose narcissism which is characterized by arrogance, over-inflation of one's qualities such as talent or intelligence, sense of entitlement, as well as the tendency to denigrate others in order to boost their own self-esteem. Vulnerable Narcissism on the other hand, is characterized by self-inhibition, and the desire for approval by others and emotional instability, but vulnerable narcissists still have unrealistically high expectations of themselves, such as the attainment of unlimited power and money and personal features such as beauty.The NPI was not meant to be used for diagnostic purposes, that is, for the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is a mental illness characterized by an extremely fragile sense of self and significant life impairments. This disorder is generally assessed by using other tests such as the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI). The NPI is intended to measure the normal (sub-clinical) levels of narcissism that can be commonly found among the general population. This means that even if an individual obtains a high score on the NPI, it may not mean that they have Narcissistic Personality Disorder per se. 20 pp. Englisch.

When planning a website, the development process includes the research and analysis of the target group in order to catch their attention. Colors and symbols for instance are relevant for many cultures and need to be taken into account when designing a website. Due to the increasing globalization of markets, websites have to be adapted to the customer's needs. Therefore, an investigation on cultural preferences is needed. Based on the study of the IT University of Copenhagen of 2005, this paper aims to answer the question of whether the company Starbucks is adapting its websites to the cultures of their international markets. Furthermore, it shall examine what the main differences of the websites are. Before that, the contexting theory by Edward T. Hall will be explained, followed by an outline on intercultural web design. The analyzed low context country will be Germany, whereas the high context country will be South Korea. As a conclusion, this paper will summarize the findings and give an outlook on the future of Hall's theory. 24 pp. Englisch.

This intensive investigation will be used in this paper to research Chinese and German leadership preferences and challenges that may occur when working cross-culturally in one of the two countries.Leaders must understand the differences of cultures and learn how to successfully adapt and chose adequate leadership styles since ideas of leadership differ across cultures. It is getting even more critical due to the boosted global integration and the evolving challenges of international corporation and collaboration. If international businesses ignore culturally specific needs, corporations fail because of intercultural misinterpretations. The challenges of international collaboration can be solved by addressing culturally necessary actions and managing cross-cultural relationships with suitable sets of behavioral and emotional approaches.Therefore, this paper will firstly focus on different approaches and models that compare cultures. The Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Project and its specific cultural dimensions will be introduced afterward. Secondly, leadership will be defined and viewed from the perspective of GLOBE. Thirdly, the cultural dimensions and leadership styles of GLOBE, will be applied to China and Germany. Possible issues when working in these countries, as well as proposals to prevent these obstacles, will be discussed lastly. 32 pp. Englisch.
