Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit untersucht das Königreich der Vandalen unter Geiserich. Hauptquelle ist der 'Kirchenkampf und die Verfolgung der Katholiken unter den Vandalen in Nordafrika', verfasst von dem byzantischen Priester Victor von Vita. Hierin beschreibt dieser sowohl die Herrschaft von Geiserich, als auch die spätere Regierungszeit von Hunerich. Die Quelle wird dabei in Hinblick auf ihre Bedeutsamkeit und ihren Wahrheitsgehalt untersucht. Es soll abschließend beurteilt werden können, ob die Vandalen im Kontext der Zeit besonders zerstörerisch gegenüber anderen Völkern auftraten und ob die Darstellungen durch Victor von Vita sinngemäß stimmen oder ob dieser ein besonderes Feindbild kreierte. Zu Beginn wird ein historischer Überblick zur Einordnung gegeben. Besonders werden die Begriffe Gewalt und Religion und ihre Bedeutung in der Spätantike erläutert. Anschließend wird die Hauptquelle des Victor von Vitas und seine Person zur Verdeutlichung des Quellenwertes vorgestellt. Daraufhin werden die wichtigsten Stationen und Aufenthaltsorte der Vandalen ab Eintritt in das Römische Reich erläutert.Dies geschieht mit Hinblick darauf, um auch hier Unterschiede zu finden zur späteren Reichsbildung unter Geiserich. Die Reichsbildung und Herrschaftssicherung auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent wird anschließend thematisiert. Die Fragestellung, ob die Vandalen mutwillige Zerstörer waren oder lediglich ein wanderndes Volk, welches sich in Nordafrika ansiedelte und durch seine Kultur zur Transformation des Römischen Reiches einen Beitrag leistete, wird in der Schlussbetrachtung beantwortet.…

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie der Neuzeit (ca. 1350-1600), Note: 1,0, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Hausarbeit untersuche ich das Wirklichkeitsbild der Utopier in Hinblick auf die Entstehung und Festigung des Wesensmerkmals der Selbstdisziplin, welches das Inselleben und die Gesellschaft dominiert. Rhaphael Hythlodeus¿ Schilderungen der Struktur der Insel Utopia, ihrer hierarchischen Struktur, des beruflichen und privaten Alltags der Utopier, ihres Aussehens, des Reiseverhaltens, des Umganges mit Sklaven auf der Insel und des Kriegswesens sowie der religiösen Anschauungen der Bewohner dienen mir dabei als Ist-Zustand ihrer Gesellschaft bzw. ihres Wirklichkeitsbildes.Diesen interpretiere ich unter Berücksichtigung ausgewählter Aspekte der Machttheorie nach Michel Foucault, der in 'Überwachen und Strafen'3die Entstehung einer Disziplinarmacht innerhalb der sozialen Institution des Gefängnisses beschreibt, dieschließlich durch diverse Disziplinierungstechniken und Mechanismen den sozial konformen Menschen produziert und damit 'das Ordnen menschlicher Vielfältigkeiten' sicherstellt.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Jura - Zivilrecht / Arbeitsrecht, Note: 16.00, Universität Augsburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit ist das Kollektivarbeitsrecht, insbesondere das zwischen Arbeitgeber und Betriebsrat geltende Gebot der vertrauensvollen Zusammenarbeit aus 2 I BetrVG, also das Verhältnis vom Betriebsrat zum Arbeitgeber. Das Verhältnis vom Betriebsrat zum Arbeitgeber wird im Betriebsverfassungsgesetz (BetrVG) normiert. Dabei wird vor allem die Stellung der Arbeitnehmer im Betrieb sowie deren Mitwirkung im Betriebsrat geregelt. Der Betriebsrat ist gewähltes Organ der Betriebsverfassung und Interessenvertreter der Arbeitnehmer. Somit kann es zwischen Betriebsrat und Arbeitgeber zu Interessensgegensätzen kommen.Deutlich werden diese Interessengegensätze unter anderem im Urteil des LAG Köln vom 16.04.2015. In diesem Urteil hatte das LAG unter anderem darüber zu entscheiden, ob der Arbeitgeber i.R.d. Ein- und Umgruppierung verpflichtet ist, dem Betriebsrat - bei der obligatorischen Anhörung nach 99 I BetrVG - den Subsumtionsteil seiner standardisierten Eingruppierungsunterlagen zu überlassen. Das LAG bejahte diese Pflicht. Zum einen sei die Kenntnis der rechtlichen Überlegungen des Arbeitgebers bezüglich der getätigten Eingruppierungsentscheidung eine Erleichterung für den Betriebsrat i.R.s. Mitbeurteilungsaufgabe und zum anderen könne diese Kenntnis zur Förderung eines zielführenden Miteinander bzgl. einer, von den Betriebspartnern gemeinsam getragenen, Eingruppierungsentscheidung beitragen. Ein Miteinander i.S.v. Zusammenarbeit schreibe das Gesetz in 2 I BetrVG als Idealfall vor. Deswegen habe der Arbeitgeber die Pflicht dem Betriebsrat den Subsumtionsteil zu überlassen. Ein Vorenthalten des Subsumtionsteils stelle daher eine Verletzung des Gebots der vertrauensvollen Zusammenarbeit des 2 I BetrVG dar.…

Neuware - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Mittel- und Südamerika, Note: 1,0, Universität Erfurt (Staatswissenschaftliche Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Lateinamerika: Akteure und Perspektiven, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit thematisieret die im Juni 1978 vom argentinischen Staatspräsidenten und Diktator Jorge Rafael Videla eröffnete Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft in Verbindung mit der diktatorischen Instrumentalisierung des Fußballfestes.Vor 41 Jahren, am 25. Juli 1978, wurde die argentinische Fußball-Nationalmannschaft durch ein 3:1-Sieg nach Verlängerung gegen die Niederlande Weltmeister im eigenen Land. Der Titel, den das zweitgrößte Land Lateinamerikas vier Jahre zuvor noch im Endspiel der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 1974 im Endspiel gegen Deutschland verspielte, sorgte für besondere Freude. Schließlich war den Argentiniern der Titel des Fußball-Weltmeisters - im Gegensatz zu den Nachbarländern Uruguay und Brasilien - bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt verwehrt gewesen. So erfüllte sich in lang gehegter Traum.Im Gegensatz zu den Ereignissen dieses weltweit verfolgten Fußballfestes steht die Machtübernahme des argentinischen Militärs im März 1976 und ihre Politik. Bis zum Ende des verlorenen Falklandkrieges 1983 konnte sich die Militärdiktatur durch eine gewaltsame Politik an der Macht halten. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Literature Review from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1.3, University of Leipzig (Institute of Political Science), course: Application-oriented introduction to qualitative methods of political science, language: English, abstract: This paper strives to provide an overview of the critical academic engagement with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This literature review is structured as follows: Firstly, a short introduction to the key terms facilitated in this paper will be given: 'development' and its distinction to 'sustainable development'. Secondly, the underlying methodology of critical discourse analysis (CDA) and its differentiation from discourse analysis (DA) will be presented in order to embed the subsequent overview. Finally, some main findings will be compared with the contribution of (C)DA to development studies.In late 2015, one of the most far-reaching consensuses in the world was unanimously agreed upon by the 193 countries of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Set out to fulfil ambitious development targets by 2030, ranging from the complete eradication of poverty in all its forms everywhere (Goal 1) to strengthening the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development (SD) (Goal 17), this framework is part of the so-called Post-2015 Development Agenda respectively '2030 Agenda' (eponymous by the main document constituting the SDGs passed by the UN in 2015).As the intended outcome of this process, which was initiated in 2012, the SDGs are the legitimate successor of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight goals that were promised to be reached by 2015 by the UN Millenium Declaration (passed in 2000). Facing manifold shortcomings of the MDGs, which were measured by a mere 18 targets, the SDGs were extended to 17 goals measured by 169 targets.Unsurprisingly and especially regarding their abundance, the SDGs faced harsh critique from most diverse commentators. In one of its issues in March 2015, the internationally renowned weekly newspaper The Economist, for example, portrayed the SDGs as even worse than useless. Due to their presumably bloated nature as a 'myriad of top-down targets' (The Economist 2015), they would not only distract from poverty eradication as the potentially most important goal but also overlook the importance of local contexts, ultimately resulting in 'cookie-cutter development policies' (Ibid.). However, the majority of publication organs and stakeholders in the international development community did not articulate an equally harsh (and narrow) critique, as the goals of the SDGs seem difficult to contradict - at least on first glance. 28 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject History of Germany - National Socialism, World War II, grade: 2,3, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: In the Weimar Republic homosexuals achieved more and more acceptance. The German capital Berlin could, for example, be regarded as a liberal city and a meeting point for many lesbians and gays. Nightclubs, bars, and even travesty clubs were open and solely reserved for homosexuals. They seemed to have their own parallel society, which was somehow tolerated. Germany became more and more tolerant and legal equality of hetero- and homosexuals would have been the next logical step. However, things came different when the NSDAP party won the election in 1933. The ideological government made homosexuality a punishable offence again, leading to a bitter setback for any upcoming gay movement. After the slow improvement of social and legal conditions, which began to take scientific findings into account, all the achievements were destroyed. But why did Nazi Germany consider homosexuality a crime again and how did the lives of LGBTs change to the worse 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1,7, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, language: English, abstract: Feminists in the Western world have fought for a longtime against the constraints of (the Christian) religion. With the growth of the Muslim population and the increasing presence of women wearing Islamic headscarves, much is being discussed about the compatibility of feminism and Islam. The reasons and individual and social meaning of the hijab and its origins in the Koran need to be analyzed, to contribute to this discussion.With the growth of the Muslim population in Germany, the debate on the question of the compatibility of feminism and Islam has received a significant boost. There are now a lot of Muslim women who publicly comment on this issue, presenting themselves as feminists and choosing to wear an Islamic headscarf, the so-called hijab. Especially this discussion, about the religious clothing of the Muslim woman is interesting. Especially the rights of women to self-determination and freedom of religion are here in the focus of the debate. For some, the headscarf is a symbol of male oppression, for others it is a symbol of their - not just religious - freedom. The purpose of this text is to try to answer the question of whether wearing a headscarf on a religious basis is compatible with feminism, as it is understood in Germany. The relevant arguments of the discussion should be reproduced. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Region: Southeastern Europe, grade: B, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, language: English, abstract: This essay views the various development projects and initiatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina concerning their long-term sustainability. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country which after 23 years of direct involvement of the international community in achieving its sustainable political and economic development still exists as a kind of semi-international protectorate. In addition, Bosnia and Herzegovina's market has never been fully transformed into the western economy concept, where the lack of privatization of the state-owned companies is primarily emphasized. It remains doubtful whether the long-lasting intervention of the international community has delivered the necessary results for any kind of future sustainable development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.Ever since the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) ended, and even before that, various development cooperation projects launched by numerous countries and by the international community as a whole have been implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They targeted countless fields of country's structure; from attempts to increase its administrative effectiveness, through initiatives for the much-needed changes within the field of enhancement of political accountability and the country's infrastructure and finally, initiating moves to make the country's market more open and competitive. If we try to assess the impacts of all these development projects and initiatives and their expected long-term sustainability, it seems that most of them failed to make any sustainable effect. Unfortunately, there are no accurate numbers showing the total amounts of funds invested in the reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in accordance to some sources, only the World Bank Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1996 to 2000 invested 2.7 billion Euro in the reconstruction of the country's basic infrastructure. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Culture touches various forms of human life and as such is at the base of the social reagent and of the pure interaction between people in the social context.Interacting with other cultures is very important in the age of globalization. Often, however, behaviors can be completely different, and you can interpret ways and situations in totally different ways. A gesture, reasoning, can be offensive to others or may simply have different meanings. This happens both in the world of work and also in family social relations.The effects of culture can often become others in other cultures. In fact, it is not said that a virtuous gesture in one is read in the same way through the eyes of another culture. A direct investigation approach is essential to recalibrate our cultural perception and project it correctly into the new cultural context. Cultural intelligence and adaptation are crucial elements for achieving a good starting result. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 2, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: The paper is about the discrimination of Palestinian Women. The position of Palestinian women is very sensitive because they are part of different marginalized groups and therefore face multiple layers of discrimination and exclusion. They are discriminated against as women in Israel, as Palestinians in Israel and as women in the Palestinian society. The two main reasons of the discrimination are the traditional patriarchal norms and values and the occupation with its consequences, which together configures a high gender inequality. This discrimination often results in gender-based violence as sexual violence, intimate partner violence and child marriage.Palestinian women are given the role of preserving and transmitting the culture as well as the burden of bearing more children to ensure the continuation of the Palestinian people. The community's ethnic identity was strengthened by defending their honor. In this way 'family honor' serves to defend the restriction of women's freedom and their inferiority. All women must follow certain rules of behavior and their success is determined by her ability to measure up to the social expectations transmitted to her through her family.The more stereotypical characteristics she internalizes, the more favorable she will be looked upon by her environment. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2.0, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: Human species has come into being through nature. Its existence and emergence through evolutionary processes is glorified as the miracle of nature, for its most crucial characteristic and distinctiveness compared to other species on planet earth consists in its intelligence and its creativity. However, these characteristics of human beings have led to an ongoing process of rebellion by humans against nature. The driving forces for this development can amongst others be found in the industrial, agricultural, scientific and technological revolution taken place as of 19th century (Emmott 2013). These events have resulted in the dominance of human over other species and in the rapid reproduction of the human species all over the world. Around 1800 there were roughly one billion human beings existing, whereas today the numbers have increased to over seven billion and are still increasing per hour (Emmott 2013). Scientists have even predicted that the amount of inhabitants on earth will increase to nine billion in 2050 (Emmott 2013). This depicts a severe strain on earth and nature since the more human beings there are the more resources in form of energy and food are needed to keep them alive and the more energy is used the higher is the amount of by-products like plastic, radioactive waste, vehicle emissions and toxic gases the earth cannot be disposed of. Furthermore, resources like drinkable water will run short. In this sense, human being - as a product of nature- has begun a combat against his own designer, enslaved it and has shaped it according to his own imagination in a very short period of time. 16 pp. Englisch.…

It grapples with the question of how globalization reinforces or subverts gender stereotypes. The paper concludes that even in the advent of globalization, there is still cultural resistance concerning the place and roles of women in African societies as depicted in Disai's 'Cry the Peacock'.Globalization brings with it a cross pollination of economic, cultural, religious and social ideas and perceptions which may result in convergent and divergent reactions in different societies. In most societies, globalization results in socio-cultural resistance, especially on gender and power relations. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Furthermore, it will give insight into important studies that either support or decline the opinion of age being a relevant factor for a native-like acquisition of a second language phonology. Subsequently, in the last section, it will be sketched to what extent other socio-motivational circumstances among L2 learners can cause individual differences throughout the acquisition of an L2 phonology. Both sections critically examine the relevance of the L2 learner's age regarding the acquisition of an L2 phonology in order to find an answer to the question if age does affect the acquisition of a native-like pronunciation. As a last step, the main points and findings of this research paper will be summarised in the conclusion. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - History of Literature, Eras, grade: 10,0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, language: English, abstract: The following term paper will deal with the several depictions of female protagonists in English literature while the focus will be on Catherine Earnshaw, the female protagonist in Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights', and the typical English characteristics. The character development will be analyzed in context of the concept of gender and compared to other English female protagonists. In order to so, firstly the principle of gender itself will be delineated, subsequently the characteristics of the Victorian Age will be briefly summarized. Thereafter, Catherine Earnshaw's character development will be elaborated and its similarities with and differences from other female protagonists will be emphasized.As for literature figures nowadays, Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights' is a prime example for classic English literature of the Victorian Age, whereas coeval critics refused to accept the novel as appropriate according to the predominant behavior patterns and norms. Its solid position in classic English literature was not foreseeable then since Ellis Bell - the Brontë-sisters used to write under pseudonyms at the beginning - had been criticized for his violent and ruffian storyline and characters which were unconventional and shocking for a society in which it was not common to have or depict such strong and blatant feelings.In contrast to the passionate and impulsive love story which also includes revenge, hate and violence, other authors such as Charlotte Brontë published works that were typical and appropriate for the mindset of Victorian people and managed to achieve purely success and admiration, for instance the governess-novel 'Jane Eyre'. Also Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' which has been published before the Victorian Age and tells the love story between Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy abides the common norms and fits into the sophisticated world Austen presents. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Literature - Basics, grade: B+, , language: English, abstract: The current study attempts to explore the notion of the unpopular in relation to the two writers Wyndham Lewis and Marshall McLuhan. The notion of the unpopular is a defining factor for these two writers. Among the seminal writers and artists, there are those that have had double claim to glory and there are others who were either scorned or overlooked. There are writers who are barely talked about or written about, despite their significant contribution to modern knowledge.Wyndham Lewis is one of the writers who may be acknowledged as one of the greatest and most talented prose writers and artists. However, Lewis's passion for Pro-Hitler discourse positioned him as one of the most unpopular writers. There have been times when Lewis's books have been out of print. However, there has been minor flurry of interest in Wyndham Lewis which balances the generation of neglect.

Due to the limited scope this term paper will focus on the two genres that have probably been the most controversial ones with regard to this movie, the spaghetti Western and the Blaxploitation Movie, and furthermore touch upon the Buddy Movie genre.'What kind of film do you want to see ' is a question that often arises before people turn towards a movie,be it in cinema or elsewhere. But what do they mean with 'a kind of film' One could paraphrase this expression with one single word: genre. Genres help people to classify movies and affect their expectations towards the movie they are going to see. Someone watching a 'romance' will be expecting something different than somebody watching a 'horror film'. Furthermore many movies cannot be specified to be of only one genre but show properties of several different genres. 20 pp. Englisch.…

If you delve deeper into the matter, you recognize that the Hollywood director has placed various personal focuses on different parts of the novel, especially on the most important protagonists. Furthermore, in large parts he totally rolled up the gist and used different perspectives on certain things. That is why it can be called an extremely free conversion of Hawthorne's historical fiction into a love story with a dramatically romantic background. By using several filmic devices, he finally attempted to turn the three strong main characters into a sinful but 'happy family' who are in search of a peaceful life.The book 'The Scarlet Letter' is one of America's most important pieces of literature, written by the author Nathaniel Hawthorne in the year 1850. The story about Puritan life and the subject of settling down in a 'new world' has engaged the interest of numerous generations of readers up to now.However, Hawthorne's classical work has not only caught the attention of normal literature lovers but it has also inspired a lot of artists, like producers and directors to convert the historical content into motion-pictures. What comes out in the end is often very surprising; for some critics the result is more positive, for others it is rather negative and unsatisfactory material. In this case, it always depends on what expectations you have of such a medial remake. Do you intend to get delivered a complete one-to-one transformation or are you open-minded enough to accept a creative and free modification of the original basic script This could be sometimes a highly controversial question among reviewers. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Art - History of Art, grade: 1,8, , language: English, abstract: This paper examines the cross-cultural impact of Western styles on Chinese porcelain decoration, which not only aimed at a Western clientele but was produced for the local market and commissioners as well. In the eighteenth century during the Yongzheng reign (1723-1735) of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) European Jesuits became part of Beijing's court life and contributed to the imperial Chinese art scene. Their Western style influenced Chinese contemporaries and initiated changes in the decoration of porcelain produced for the emperor and his court. While the Jesuits who worked as artists at the court often picked up on Chinese narratives their artistic approach differed from their Chinese colleagues and resulted in new artistic manners and themes. Meanwhile, the trade with Europe flourished and contributed to the Chinese's growing interest in European objects. This Occidentalism was the Chinese counterpart to Europe's affinity with the Far East and likewise influenced the Chinese decoration on porcelain. This essay aims to examine the extent to which the Jesuits' work at the court and their European training influenced the imagery decoration on imperial porcelain and to which extent the stylistic changes resulted from the Jesuits' presence or from the side effect of the trade with Europe in the eighteenth century. First, it is important to understand the decorative manner of imagery themes before the Jesuits' pronounced presence in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. Further, the essay attempts an overview on the artistic characteristics of the Jesuit art produced for the Qing court compared to the decoration on export ware for Europe. This section is followed by a stylistic analysis of four imperial porcelain wares of the Yongzheng period from the Percival David Collection and an examination of the visual influences that are found in their decoration. Finally, the essay summarises the analytical study and concludes with the consequential response to the essay's question. 20 pp. Englisch.…
