Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, Note: 2, Gymnasium Berchtesgaden, Veranstaltung: W-Seminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Lyndon Baines Johnson war der 36. Präsident der USA. Er rückte zunächst nach der Er-mordung John F. Kennedy's in Dallas als Vizepräsident auf das Präsidentenamt nach, bevor er bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 1964 regulär und überlegen zum Präsidenten gewählt wurde. Johnson war einer der tragischsten aber gleichzeitig auch einer der erfolgreichsten Präsidenten der USA. Tragisch deswegen, weil er zunächst durch den Tod von J.F. Kennedy überraschend und ungeplant zum Präsidenten wurde, und weil er wohl für immer mit dem Desaster des Vietnam Krieges verbunden sein wird, welcher die USA spaltete und dem Land eine demütigende Niederlage bereitete (Johnson, 1972, Vorwort). Erfolgreich hingegen war er mit der Umsetzung der Vision der 'Great Society ', wodurch die schwarze Bevölkerung aus ihrer Unterprivilegiertheit gelöst wurde, die Rassentrennung verschwand, Maßnahmen gegen die Armut ergriffen wurden und das Sozial- und Gesundheitssystem Amerikas auf breiter Basis enorm verbessert wurde. Diese Seminararbeit soll dazu beitragen, aus heutiger Sicht die Kernpunkte seiner Innen- und Außenpolitik, aber auch dessen Persönlichkeit zu beleuchten, um so die Zusammenhänge und Zwänge seiner Präsidentschaftszeit und seiner Entscheidungen zu verstehen. Damit soll die Arbeit dazu beitragen den 36.Präsidenten der USA näher kennenzulernen und vor allen Dingen die damaligen Zusammenhänge der Au-ßenpolitik, d.h. des Vietnamkriegs möglichst objektiv darzustellen, denn Lyndon B. Johnson ist wohl für immer auch Vietnam, Vietnam Vietnam !!! Es ist daher erklärtes Ziel dieser Arbeit, einen Beitrag zu leisten, um von einem oberflächlichen Vorurteil zu einer mündigen Ur-teilsfähigkeit zu kommen. Zur Vereinfachung der Ansprache wird die männliche Form ver-wendet, sie schließt die weibliche ein. Als Zitierstil wird APA 6th Edition verwendet, um den Lesefluss nicht zu unterbrechen. 28 pp. Deutsch.…

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,0, Universität Kassel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie ist in der heutigen Gesellschaft kein neues Thema mehr. Lange überlegen Frauen, wie sie ihre Karriere mit einem neugeborenen Kind am besten miteinander kombinieren können. Um speziell diesen Müttern zu helfen, die ohne lange Pause wieder vollständig in ihren Beruf zurückkehren wollen, die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen, wurde zum 01. August 2013 ein Rechtsanspruch auf frühkindliche Förderung in einer Kindertageseinrichtung oder -pflege nun auch für Kinder ab Vollendung des ersten Lebensjahres bis zum dritten Lebensjahr eingeführt. Können Mütter nun ohne Bedenken ihre Kinder in einer Kindertagesstätte unterbringen und ihre Karriere fortführen Schon eine geraume Zeit vor dem Eintreten der Gesetzesänderung bilden sich verschiedene Meinungen zum Thema Kinderbetreuung im Kindergarten ab einem Jahr heraus. Sicherlich gibt es Vorteile für die Mütter, die keine lange Berufspause machen, sondern so schnell wie möglich wieder in das Berufsleben zurückkehren wollen. Kindertageseinrichtungen sind als unterstützende und -ergänzende Hilfe für Familien anzusehen. Sie sollen die Entwicklung des Kindes zu einer stabilen Persönlichkeit fördern und der Familie dabei behilflich sein, die Arbeit mit der Kindererziehung besser miteinander verbinden zu können.Zu den Aufgaben der ErzieherInnen, die in solchen Kindertageseinrichtungen arbeiten, gehören unter anderem Erziehung, Betreuung und Bildung von Kindern. Für die Entwicklung der Kinder schon im Kleinstkindalter sollten die sozialen, emotionalen, körperlichen und geistigen Aspekte angeregt werden. Auch die Bindung zu den ErzieherInnen spielt eine wichtige Rolle für eine gesunde Entwicklung, denn durch diese erfahren Kinder auch außerhalb ihres engsten Umfelds emotionale Sicherheit. Ob und wie Kleinkinder schon mit einem Jahr bereits eine sichere Bindungsbeziehung zu ihren Eltern entwickeln und gleich zeitig vertrauensvolle Beziehungen zu anderen Erwachsenen aufbauen können und welche Risiken eine frühe Fremdbetreuung haben kann, soll diese Arbeit diskutieren. 32 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Arbeit, Betrieb, Organisation und Wirtschaft, Note: 1,8, Universität zu Köln (Organisations- und Wirtschaftspsychologie), Veranstaltung: Organisations- und Wirtschaftspsychologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 'Wie motiviere ich meine Mitarbeiter am besten ' - das ist eine Frage, die sich jeder Arbeitgeber, Abteilungsleiter oder Unternehmer stellt. Viele Unternehmen probieren, diese Motivation mithilfe von monetären Anreizen zu erreichen. Aber ist dies der beste und nachhaltigste Weg Ariely (2008) trifft in diesem Zusammenhang die Aussage, dass Geld häufig das teuerste Mittel sei, um Menschen zu motivieren. Soziale Normen hingegen, so Ariely, seien billiger und auch wirksamer (Ariely, 2008, S. 134). Dies erkennen Unternehmen zunehmend und versuchen, soziale Marktnormen im Umgang mit der Belegschaft zu etablieren.Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist das Unternehmen Google, welches es geschafft hat, sich durch das Angebot vieler freiwilliger Nebenleistungen ein attraktives Image als Arbeitgeber aufzubauen und damit außerdem nachhaltig die Motivation der Mitarbeiter fördert. Ein weiteres Unternehmen, das bei der Mitarbeitermotivation stark auf soziale Marktnormen setzt, ist das Drogeriehandelsunternehmen dm. Gegenseitiger Respekt und Nachhaltigkeit sind Beispiele für die Werte, die die Unternehmensphilosophie des Unternehmens maßgeblich prägen (Teske, 2012).Ein großer Vorteil der Etablierung sozialer Marktnormen besteht darin, dass sie mit einer erhöhten Loyalität der Mitarbeiter einhergeht. Einem Arbeitgeber, der seine Mitarbeiter allein mit monetären Marktnormen zu motivieren versucht, wird solch eine Loyalität nicht zuteil. Das zeigt sich zum Beispiel darin, dass der Arbeitnehmer, wenn er die Arbeit nur unter ökonomischen Gesichtspunkten betrachtet, den Arbeitgeber unmittelbar wechselt, wenn er ein besseres Angebot bekommt. Weitere Vorteile der sozialen Marktnormen bestehen darin, dass Mitarbeiter geringe Einschränkungen wie zum Beispiel eine vorübergehende Lohnkürzung oder etwas Vergleichbares eher tolerieren.Selbstverständlich haben die Mitarbeiter im Falle einer Etablierung von sozialen Marktnormen jedoch auch höhere Erwartungen (zum Beispiel Hilfestellungen in persönlich schwierigen Situationen) an das Unternehmen, da sie selbst eine hohe Anstrengungsbereitschaft zeigen (Ariely, 2008).Das Ziel der Arbeit liegt in der Herleitung eines Modells, das genaue Aussagen über die Verwendbarkeit von sozialen und monetären Marktnormen zur Motivation von Mitarbeitern ermöglicht. 36 pp. Deutsch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Sport, Sportpädagogik, Note: 1,0, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In Bezug auf Krafttraining mit Kindern und Jugendlichen bestehen einige Vorurteile. Häufige Bedenken, die Gegner eines Krafttrainings mit Kindern und Jugendlichen äußern, sind die Verletzungsgefahr für den wachsenden Organismus, ein Verlust der Beweglichkeit und eine geringe Effektivität aufgrund des zu geringen Muskelwachstums.Die Gefahr der Schädigung des kindlichen Körpers birgt das Krafttraining insbesondere bei einer fehlerhaften Ausführung der Kraftübungen. Es kann dabei zu Schädigungen am passiven Bewegungsapparat kommen, da die Knochen von Kindern und Jugendlichen aufgrund der geringeren Kalkeinlagerungen elastischer sowie weniger druck- und biegefest sind. Der passive Bewegungsapparat von Kindern und Jugendlichen ist damit weniger belastbar als der eines Erwachsenen. Um Schäden zu vermeiden, sind einige Grundsätze zu beachten, auf die wir in Punkt 4 näher eingehen werden.Zuvor werden allerdings von vielen Sportwissenschaftlern die positiven gesundheitlichen Effekte eines optimal durchgeführten Krafttrainings in den Vordergrund gestellt. Krafttraining zielt auf die wirkungsvolle Entwicklung funktioneller und struktureller Muskeleigenschaften, um das erforderliche Kraftniveau für Bewegungsleistungen zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grund sind Kraftfähigkeiten Grundlage für menschliche Bewegungen. Die Bedeutung für ein Krafttraining im Kinder- und Jugendalter ergibt sich aus weiteren Notwendigkeiten.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Universität Hohenheim (Institut für Kommunikationswissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Filmplakate sind seit jeher ein fester Bestandteil des Kinofilmmarketings. Sie sollen potenzielle Zuschauer auf einen neuen Film aufmerksam machen und ihr Interesse wecken. Bei der Gestaltung der Marketingmaßnahmen sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass bei den Rezipienten ein konsistentes Vorstellungsbild des Filmes geschaffen wird. Eine große Bedeutung kommt dabei der Kommunikation des Filmgenres zu, wodurch u.a. bestimmte Erwartungen an die Handlung, die Gestaltung, die Charaktere und die emotionalen Gratifikationen vermittelt werden. Diese Studie untersucht mithilfe einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse durch welche visuellen Signale die Genrezugehörigkeit auf Filmplakaten kommuniziert wird und wie stark sich die Plakate der verschiedenen Genres unterscheiden. Die Stichprobe umfasst jeweils ein Plakat aller 285 Filme, die 2011 und 2012 in den USA mit einem Wide Release veröffentlicht wurden.Die untersuchten Merkmale Helligkeit, Farben, Gesichtsbetonung, Mimik, Figuren-konstellationen und Dynamik weisen statistisch signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den Genres auf und können daher als Genresignale angesehen werden. Die Genres lassen sich anhand ihrer Plakate auf einer Skala von freundlich bis bedrohlich anordnen. Eine zweite Skala bilden das Geschlechterverhältnis und die Dynamik. Komödien, Liebes- und Familienfilme unterscheiden sich dabei deutlich von anderen Genres, genauso wie Horrorfilme. 60 pp. Deutsch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,1, University of Innsbruck, course: Language Awareness 3, language: English, abstract: This Proseminar paper is about 'Future - Meaning and Form', following the presentation held in the Awareness III. course in winter term 2007/08. In order to analyse the different forms and meanings of the various future concepts, there are several English Grammar books providing useful theoretical information.The first part of the paper serves as a theoretical overview. In this section the different future concepts are analysed and the meaning of the different tenses is dissected. The second part consists of the practical part. It illustrates where and why the different future concepts are used in different examples. It also shows how the rules in the theoretical part apply to the practical examples like dialogues and full texts.In English, like in all Germanic languages, there is no simple future tense. The futurity of an action is expressed either by using a word which expresses a future action, e.g. I drive to London in two days, or by utilising an auxiliary construction that combines a definite present tense verb with the stem of this verb which illustrates the actual action of the sentence.The English future tense was established during the period of 300 years, between 1066 and 1350. During that time, Anglo-Norman was the official language of the British Isles. Unlike English, Norman is a Romance Language, which does have a simple future tense.In the course of the study of the English future concepts, one has to make a difference between spoken and written language. As spoken language is used more often than written language, the used future tense differs. 24 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pre-University Paper from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics - English - Miscellaneous, grade: Sehr Gut Minus (13 Punkte), , language: English, abstract: The dream of an America with boundless possibilities has shaped the American society over centuries. As the historian James Truslow Adams defined the phrase 'The American Dream' in 1931, it is the 'dream of a land, in that life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with the opportunity for each according to ability or achievement' and in that everyone should 'be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the furtuitous circumstances of birth or position'.The idea of the American dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which declares that 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'.However there are issues like homosexuality and same-sex marriage that, with regard to the ban on same-sex marriage present in most of the United States, seem to be contrary to the notion of the American Dream.Thus one has to ask: Don t gays/lesbians deserve the Pursuit of Happiness and the same rights as heterosexuals Does marriage fit in as an inalienable right Or quite simply, does denying same-sex marriage conflict with the American Dream 24 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Literature Review from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, course: Einführung in die englische Literatur, language: English, abstract: Analysis of the passage in the text (Penguin: page 25, 'Willy: Bernard is not well liked, is he ' - page 27, 'Willy: 'What do we owe ')This passage from the first act of Arthur Miller's drama 'Death of a Salesman' displays one of the numerous flashbacks of Willy Loman, who represents the main character and moreover a complex round character. With this reflection of the past the reader or spectator is able to share in Willy's and his former family life; a family life that is harmonious, easy, joyful or simply all in all perfect.For Willy this ideal world is very important as ideals are in general. He places special value on a good image, which can be seen in the very first question of the passage 'Bernard is not well liked, is he ' , which he addresses to his sons Biff and Happy. With the simile 'you're both built like Adonoises'1, which Willy is thankful for and moreover very proud of, and the statement that his sons 'are going to be five times ahead of [Bernard]'1 because of their appearance, it becomes clear that he is of the opinion that attractiveness which results in 'personal interest'1 and popularity is the only way to become big in business - which is pretty unrealistic already because good grades are necessary to enrol in college, and contents taught in college are in the majority of cases necessary to become big in business. It is furthermore visible that Willy builds his hopes on Biff and Happy. For them he is a role model and he seems really confident of being a good one: 'Be liked and you will never want. You take me, for instance. I never have to wait in line [.].' He is also sure of the fact that he is well known and welcome everywhere he goes which is indicated by the following statement ''Willy Loman is here!' That's all they have to know [.].' Another pleasure in Willy's life is to share his work with his sons by telling them stories about it. He then tends to exaggerate, as it is seen in his self praise-hyperbole 'knocked 'em cold in Providence, slaughtered 'em in Boston.'3, in order to bring his business success near to them. 20 pp. Englisch.…

It would make you stressed wouldn't it You would feel stupid and embarrassed when you repeat the sentence for confirmation and the person just laughs at you.

Therefore he started to develop the 'open space technology' (OST) for groups. This essay is going to thoroughly explain the method's idea and the way it works. OST, mostly organized as a workshop or conference, makes it possible to solve ill-defined tasks through letting different people work together. Moreover, its advantages are various and its fields to use are vast. The essay will also provide some evaluation about the cases in which it can be used and a short conclusion can be found.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Dutch (Literature, Culture and Language), grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Rotterdam, course: Dutch Culture, language: English, abstract: The Netherlands have a long heritage in trading and were once a mighty colonial power due to its outstanding naval power. Symbol of this trading and sea power was the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (V.O.C.), 'the most powerful multinational in the history of the world' , which endured nearly two entire centuries., India, on the other hand, was the possibly most sought destination those days. Not only owing to its wealth of spices and raw materials, many European nations have sought their way to India and its riches. The Dutch conquered the southern parts of India, such as Malabar and Coromandel and affected the subcontinent in many terms, pursuing mainly trading purposes.The question arising from the relatively short presence of the Dutch and the V.O.C. on the Indian subcontinent aims at the extent to which that presence affected current India. Which aspects were brought to the Indian subcontinent by the Dutch seafarers of the V.O.C. Which effects did the presence of the Dutch have on South Indian history In how far was this era decisive to both the V.O.C.'s and India's destiny In order to understand the interrelations better, the V.O.C. and its history shall be introduced thoroughly in the beginning. Reasons for both the rapid increase in prosperity and for the decay of the global trading empire are to be explained as well as the extent of the sphere of the operations of the V.O.C.Then, a close-up to the Dutch East India Company in India in ancient times will follow, concentrating on both political and economical issues, on the one hand, and on other ancillary aspects, on the other one. Derived from this part, an analysis of current legacy in India, hinting at the era of occupation by the Dutch, will be attached to the essay.Finally, a completing point of view shall be taken in order to draw a conclusion regarding the Dutch influence on the Southern India of today. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Health - Sport - Miscellaneous, Comenius University in Bratislava, language: English, abstract: The beginning of the sponsoring as it is used today is from the many hundred years ago. The first sponsor were rich people who sponsored poets to write poems for them. So e.g. sponsored Gaius Clinius Maesenas the poets Horaz, Vergil and Properz. With these money these poets could write their important works that are known all over the world. The beginning of the sponsoring is near the word 'mazenatentum'. A definition of this word is the following: 'Patronage, by both definition and usage, is essentially an altruistic activity carried out with no expectation or return other than the satisfaction of knowing that is being done.' (Diggle 1975, 14). Later in time the rich people also sponsored other people, but the kind of people changed over time. In the beginning poets were sponsored, but in the mid age only scientist and artist were sponsored. In the end of the mid age there was also a new social class created, the bourgeoisie. These people also got rich and gave their money to scientist and artist.In the 19th century there were not only single people sponsoring other people. There were founded art trends and science trends. And so some people didn't sponsor only one but they sponsor a hole group of people with the same goals or same interests. The best example is the will from Alfred Nobel. He said that the best person of one year should have money to go further in his or her main thing. The sponsoring and its meaning like it is used today was found in the end of the last century. The companies started to give money to people who need this money to create something special. At first there was a donation but after a while it was renamed in sponsoring. In those years in the USA many universities were founded due the sponsoring from rich personalities. In Germany the rich personalities sponsored the art and so many art collections were created. Before this time the sponsor did not say that they want to have a return, but from this time on they said it openly. A turning point in the history of the sponsoring was in the 70s of the last century. The cigarette industry were not longer allowed to make commercial in the TV and so they search for a new way to get a commercial effect. The sport was the new thing. And with this thinking of the cigarette industry other industries followed. The sponsoring became more and more important and more and more clubs took advantage of the given chance. 16 pp. Englisch.…

One can find as much theories as theorists. In the following I will present the most important and disseminated concepts.To create a foundation for my presentation I will shortly describe the chronology of the events which frame the escalation and the escalation itself.After that I will at first present the official, government explanation for the escalation, which is based on the containment of Communist aggression. Subsequent to that I will portray the two most important theories: the 'Quagmire Theory' and the 'Stalemate Theory'. Furthermore some analysts saw the dilemma in the personality and the authority of the American Presidents. At least there is the idea that the escalation was a result of political and economical interests of the USA.Finally I will finish my work with my own conclusion about the intervention in the Vietnam War and its escalation. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2, Bournemouth University (Bournemouth University), course: International Tourism Management (top-up), language: English, abstract: A corporate chief executive encompasses the final responsibility for a successful company development. 'He sets the objectives for the business and specifies strategies for their achievement' (Lines, 1978:3). Further key tasks are listed in Appendix A. In this unique role he is also responsible for the funding of the business (Lines, 1978). Since 1st December 2007 Andrew Harrison is the chief executive of easyJet (easyJet plc, 2007). He defines the organisational structure to lead staff towards defined goals (Mullins, 1999). easy Jets organisation structure is a flat management structure. A comparison of flat and tall management structures is given in Appendix B. Being under the pressure of different interest groups the question arises which interest should be given priority Easy Jet postulates 'creating real wealth for all stakeholders' (Bournemouth University, 2004: 22). This assignment demonstrates the theory and understanding of the five objectives. Discussing their importance and priorities, a link is given to easyJet plc. Wealth in this context means 'the market value of ordinary shares.' This value states the future potential return for a shareholder's investment in relation to the risk taken over a certain time period (Atrill, 2000: 5). They can benefit from the company in form of dividends and/or through increases in the share value from the point of buying (Neale & McElroy, 2004). 'Shareholder will weigh the returns from each investment against the potential risk involved' (Atrill, 2000:7). Banks are seen as safe but usually bring lower return on investment (Atrill, 2007).The common opinion of authors is that shareholder wealth maximisation is the answer to the question raised in the introduction. It is '.the driving force behind [.] strategic and operational decisions' (Atrill & McLaney 2006: 352). Other objectives are seen as subordinate (Watson & Head, 2007: 8). Neale & McElroy (2004:10) see it as a company's responsibility to maximising returns for shareholders as they are the owner. Moreover, globalisation created competition for funds of shareholders. Therefore the focus has to be on their interests to reach their financial support (Atrill & McLaney 2006). However, this objective seems to follow only the interest of one stakeholder '.perhaps at the expense of the others' (McLaney 2004:18). 20 pp. Englisch. …

GARDNER and KERRY HERMAN.Putting myself in the shoes of Kelly Browne, CEO of the PR agency Marshall & Gordon, I believe it is nearly impossible to design something like the 'ideal compensation policy' fitting everyone's needs. However, I know that there are several recommended guidelines with fundamental properties for compensation systems that should be taken into serious consideration by executives while creating such systems.A compensation system should consist of: a statement of overall objectives, the relative importance of compensation, general performance measures, competitive reference points, competitive positioning, internal equity and consistency, communication and involvement of employees, and governance.As for the category of 'involvement of employees', Herzberg's motivation theory stipulates that factors such as recognition, achievement, increased responsibility and opportunities to learn (within the company) are extremely important factors for employees, besides payments and benefits.In the following case study I will attempt to analyse the current incentive system with respect to the given questions using numerous quotations. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, London School of Economics, language: English, abstract: Where the popular meets culture, a rich repository of oppositional voices versus hegemonic narratives evolves through representations, images and media discourses. Embedded in commercial networks of cultural production and distribution, popular culture is indicative of societal macro spheres and therefore resembles a fruitful realm for studying the construction and contestation of identities. The omnipresence of (sexual) identity conflicts in popular culture, such as Bollywood movies, can be interpreted as a manifestation of identity crises in postmodern society. These crises reflect wider societal processes of change and progress that can give individuals the feeling of being thrown out of joint. Minority groups, such as homosexuals, are especially exposed, which is why it is crucially important to further advance related knowledge and inform associated current debates around the question: What is popular culture and how does it serve as a site of struggle around the construction and contestation around sexual identity In an attempt to shed light on these highly relevant and prevailing questions, the present essay is structured in the following way.After untangling the complexities of how popular culture serves as a representational, mediated space where identities are constructed, contested and negotiated, Bollywood cinema will be availed for a comprehensive case study of how different homosexual identity disputes are situated within cinematographic representations. Comparing national and diasporic audiences shows that culture is a powerful mediator exerting influence over how certain media texts are negotiated. The main argumentative conclusions propose that the construction and contestation of sexual identities is an individually unique, culture-specific and constantly evolving process unfolding at the intersection of macro and micro levels. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Sociology - Consumption and Advertising, grade: 70, Kingston University London, course: Global Marketing, language: English, abstract: 'The failure to take cultural differences between countries into account has been the cause of many business failures'. Globalisation not only reaches all companies worldwide but influences international businesses in their ambition to enter into new markets and reach operational efficiency as well as profitability. Since one cannot automatically assume that the culture of foreign market is analogue to the home market, the success of the expanding strategy depends on the appropriate consideration of systematic variation between cultures. Therefore, the degree of similarities shared by societies needs to be quantified and forms the basis for either adaptation or standardisation in the targeted market. Especially when it comes to marketing decisions a product's success depends on the accuracy of the predicted consumer behaviour in respect of its values and attitudes.

In the last years, a number of cases have made it through the court system in Germany and eventually to the European Court of Human Rights. By looking at some of these cases and the wider case law of that Court, this article is aimed at providing the reader with an overview over the topic but also with an answer to the question how the European Convention on Human Rights, which allows for a wide range of legal models concerning the relationship between the state and organized religions. 16 pp. Englisch.…
