Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Darmstadt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der heutigen Zeit ist den meisten Menschen die allgegenwärtige Situation bekannt, sich beruflich oder privat überfordert zu fühlen.Dieses Symptom geht einher mit Zuständen wie Gereiztheit, Hektik und Nervosität und kann bis zum immer weiter verbreiteten Burnout voranschreiten. Der Ausdruck 'Stress' wird immer noch gerne als Mode-Erscheinung bezeichnet, hat sich jedoch in den vergangenen Jahren mehr und mehr zu einer ernst zu nehmenden Krankheit entwickelt. Auch in der Forschung ist dieses Thema seit über 40 Jahren Gegenstand einer intensiven Weiterentwicklung. Die daraus resultierenden Folgeerscheinungen durch unseren Lebens- und Arbeitsstil werden sicher auch weiterhin zunehmen.Immer wichtiger wird daher der in eigener Verantwortung liegende, positive Umgang mit der Situation Stress und der damit verbundenen Stressbewältigung.Doch inwiefern können wir nun Stress messen, wenn dieser so individuell anders empfunden wird Sehen wir uns dazu zwei Beispiele an, wie sie sicherlich ein jeder von uns des Öfteren erlebt hat.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Heidelberg, language: English, abstract: This essay shall introduce the reader to African-American English (AAE). This term is used in this text for a wide range of language varieties used by Black people in the United States of America. That means that AAE is to be regarded as a dialect of this ethnic group and not as an independent language. While most speakers of this variety (80 to 90 percent) use some form of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), there are some areas where parts of the Black population speak a semi-creole, like Gullah, which is spoken in rural areas of South Carolina and Georgia. This text, however, will only deal with AAE in general, starting with the development of this variety. After that, the main and most wide-spread linguistic features will discussed. The essay will end with the description of recent issues concerning AAE and Afro-American culture in U.S. society as a conclusion. 12 pp. Englisch.…

This will be done story by story, for Steinbeck uses a very subtle technique here: the changes that take place in Jody because of the events of one story are always clearly visible in the one that follows. Although it has to be kept in mind that the Red Pony stories are short stories that can stand alone, this technique makes the cycle of stories resemble a novel with loosely connected chapters. 16 pp. Englisch.…

I also find it important to mention the mixed feelings of the different characters, all of them living by the coast. While I was reading the book, I could notice the rather different ways of describing the landscapes, each narrator and character senses the surroundings differently. Theenvironment in which the characters are living is one of the main topics of the book, it focuses on the descriptions and provides the reader with the opportunity to 'live' the book and to understand in a better way, how important the sea and the beach are for Australians.In The Bodysurfers the beach is the most popular and most described landscape. It is fantastic how many different ways of 'seeing' and 'feeling' the beach can be found in this book and how different varieties of language can influence the reader byproviding him with many ways of understanding the characters.The Bodysurfers is not an easy book, maybe you have to read it twice, but it can give you a perfect possibility to deal with other nations and cultures and to distinguish between different characters and their ways of speaking and telling. When I wasdealing with my topic I was impressed how ones opinion can change while reading a book, e.g. in one story the beach is described as a lonely and quiet place, in another story as a sand heap full of rubbish.In my paper I want, above all, to show these different ways of describing, on the one hand, describing by using different sorts of language and on the other hand describing, by 'feeling' and observing the place you live in. I want to show, that thesedepictions are the essence of the book and make it vivid, because 'these stories breathe. Taut yet teeming with life, they are shot through with gritty phrases that catch at one's throat.' (Goodreads) 16 pp. Englisch.…

The basis for this analysis consists of recent neurobiological and psychological research.The paper first looks for some input from Neurophysiology to understand what is known about the 'wiring' in our brain for moral decisions. Are moral judgments effectuated in the 'rational' cortical regions of the brain or in the 'intuitive', affective, and emotional subcortical region It then presents a controversy between Jonathan Haidt and Pizarro and Bloom over the predominance of intuition over reasoning in moral judgment. Jonathan Haidt proposes a theory called Social Intuitionist Approach that postulates a priority of intuition over reason, combined with a social component. Moral decisions are predominantly intuitive, he argues, and reason is primarily used to justify the decision afterwards.Pizarro and Bloom are not fully convinced. While they agree with some parts of Haidt's theory, they contradict his overall conclusion about the dominance of intuition over reason. In their opinion there is sufficient room for training one's intuitions and for rationally preparing moral decisions.Haidt counters the counter-arguments, but concedes that statistical data are missing, which would allow a final assessment of the matter. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Moreover, he 'became one of the most widely known,and controversial, intellectuals in the world during his lifetime' (Ashcroft 2009, 1). His bestknown book, Orientalism (1978), is a milestone in post-colonial theory and was one of thefirst examples for combining French critical theory with Anglophone cultural and textualtradition (cf. Castro Varela 2005, 31). It actually paved the way for differentiating criticalPostcolonial Studies from the earlier Commonwealth Literary Studies with their uncriticalcontinuation of colonial prejudices (cf. ibid, 23). Even Daniel Varisco (2007), who argues fora rather critical view of Said's work, concedes that 'Said's book stimulated a necessary andvaluable debate among scholars who study the Middle East, Islam, and colonial history.'(Varisco 2007, XII).Since a 10-page term paper could never do justice to a literary and scientific masterpiece likeOrientalism, this paper picks out just a small detail of its rich content: In the third and lastchapter of Orientalism, Said introduces a distinction between two forms of Orientalism,latent and manifest. The meaning of this dichotomy does not reveal its full significance atfirst reading. What exactly did Said have in mind by using this terminology - perhapsunconsciously in addition to what he writes about it on some 20 pages of his book Several scholars have commented on this distinction and its significance for Said's work. Thispaper will build on that material and attempt to analyze and summarize what can be foundout about the dichotomy. Particular interest will be devoted to the philosophical roots Saidwas referring to when writing about latent and manifest Orientalism.- Was he influenced by Arab Philosophy in using the dichotomy - Did he use the terms in the psychoanalytical sense introduced by Sigmund Freud andalso used by Jacques Lacan - How do some of Said's critics, like Maria do Mar Castro Varela, Daniel Martin Variscoor John McLeod interpret and evaluate the distinction 20 pp. Englisch.…

One could read a massive amount of content for free on the websites of the same newspaper brands that charge their readers everywhere else. A more or less obvious paradox, mainly financed on the back of a growing advertising market. However, with the burst of the new economy bubble, it became apparent that advertising would transform. The newspaper industry declined to revise its subsidy model albeit acting in a rapidly changing media economy, which forces every player to reconsider its long-term strategy.First, the study will introduce the current state of the media market in order to see more clearly why new revenue streams are needed. Here, the study will utilize path dependency theory that suggests a strategic lock-in of the industry. Second, the basic economic terms of paywalls are presented by analysing the theoretical background. Third, the groundwork will be reviewed in practice by discussing several of the latest research studies and examples from recent paywall implementations. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 2,0, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: The links between human rights and environmental law is not very obvious initially. At first glance, it is difficult to see what could possibly tie freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press to that of climate control. When examining the human rights issues to environmental concerns, it is readily apparent that one impacts the other. Meaning, there is an obvious connection. Human rights globally are basically the acknowledgement by government or non-government entities that humans have the right to exist and that right needs to be protected. A human's place of existence is his or her surroundings or environment. So, it follows reasonably that the lack of any means by which a human can exist or any diminishment of environmental resources necessary to continue to exist in his or her environment would be a violation of a human right so the environment must be protected. Using climate change as an example since it seems to get the most attention and changing most quickly internationally the international law link gets a little clearer. But that is just the tip of the quickly-melting iceberg. Officially making this lawful association between these two areas opens the door for a plethora of proposed guidelines, interpretations of guidelines, challenges, lawsuits, civil rights actions, enforcement, etc. With expansion or new associations or combinations of previously disassociated areas, activity revolving around these new frontiers will undoubtedly continue to grow. Environmental human rights cover a lot of areas, so, for the sake of clarity and, hopefully, understandability, the focus here will be on climate control. In addition, the impact climate control has had, is having, and will have on human rights issues are monumental and deserve the extra attention. The following sections will attempt to first extract the issue of climate control from human environmental rights law so a manageable issue can be analyzed as it relates to international human environmental rights law. Next, international regulations and guidelines will be discussed, including the challenges of making any law global between different cultures, demographics and environment. Next, in the Global Procedures section, the processes implemented to enforce and/or resolve the regulations and guidelines are addressed. Finally will be discussed the overview of the citizens 'of the world's perception of human environment rights international laws along with, specifica 16 pp. Englisch.…

Caroll & K.M. Shabana). The evolution of concept theoretically relates to Abram's (1951), who argued that companies should not only focus on profit maximisation, but also should think about its employees, customers and public at large; which was further discussed in seminal book 'Social Responsibilities of Businessman' published by Howard R. Bowmen in 1953.Corporate Social Responsibility, when simplified signifies the social responsibilities of a corporate firm. According to the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), CSR is described as 'a balanced approach for organisations to address economic, social and environmental issues in a way that aims to benefit people, communities and society'. CSR takes major issues that include human rights, workplace and employee issues, unfair business practices, organisational governance and environmental practices into consideration. Corporate social responsibility is a conceptual where firms tries to integrate social and environmental concerns into their business and operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis which as stated by the European commission. Companies as engage business and activities, their certain objectives will be directed towards the society which is likely to improve societal image monetarily as well as non-monetarily, contradictorily not all companies engaging in CSR looks out for monetary outcomes. Organisations like NGO's engage in CSR to improve the welfare of the society. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Coimbra (Faculdade de Letras), language: English, abstract: 'No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroine' . The first sentence of Jane Austen's novel 'Northanger Abbey' on its own already suggests that Catherine Morland is, or will be, an heroine, but truly an unlikely one. It notes the future gap between the life of an ideal heroine in a novel and the flawed main character. And when thinking of the common meaning of an heroine in gothic novels, one does indeed expect something different than a young lady's troublesome way to maturity. Catherine Morland does not have the childhood of an elegant woman whom is expected to become a heroine. At age 10, she's described as a girl who preferred cricket to dolls and who liked nothing better than rolling down a grass hill. She was never outstandingly good in either her studies or other activities like playing the piano. Her parents were kind and didn't believe in forcing their children to grow up a certain way with defined skills and so Catherine grew up the way she was - not extraordinarily smart or in any way impressive. However, when turning 15, she starts to take more interest in her looks and, more importantly, reading gothic novels which largely contribute to her imagination. Her journey begins when she is asked by Mr. and Mrs. Allen, good friends and neighbors of the Morland's, to accompany them to the city of Bath for a few weeks. Catherine is utterly thrilled with the prospect of finally being able to face the handsome strangers and all the adventures that await outside her homely environment, as she perceives the real world through the eyes of a passionate reader of gothic novels. It is then that she agrees unconsciously to leave the person she is now behind and start growing. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject German Studies - Semiotics, Pragmatics, Semantics, grade: 1.0, University of Hannover, language: English, abstract: The study of language change has evolved at a high rate throughout the last century.Significant insights have been gained concerning the workings of the human mind and,by extension, the workings of semantic and linguistic change. Set in comparison andcontrast, however, it becomes obvious that some convictions have remained stable andstill play a role as prominent as they did in the year of 1880. It can even be argued thatmost of the accomplishments of today's language change researchers strongly build onthose of the last century and could not have been achieved without them. To illustratethis assumption, the present termpaper compares two works on language change thatwere written in two different centuries in two different countries; Prinzipien derSprachgeschichte (Chapter 4: Wandel der Wortbedeutung) written by Hermann Paul in1880 and Semantic Change and Cognition written by Gábor Györi in 2002. HermannPaul was a German linguist and lexicographer, who was born on August 7 in 1846 andpassed away on December 29 in 1921. He was a significant representative of theNeogrammarian school of thought. The cognitive linguist Gábor Györi is associateprofessor and head of the department of English linguistics at the University of Pécs,Hungary and has a strong focus on the evolution of cognition and categorization.It shall furthermore be shown that Paul's work shares many of the tenets ofmodern cognitive linguistics even though that might not be obvious at the first glance,due to differences in terminology and methodology.In order to filter out similarities and differences between both the authors' pointsof view, chapter 1.1 will briefly summarize the contents of Paul's text, while chapter 1.2will give an account of the most important tenets of Györi's work. In chapter 2.1, theterminology Paul and Györi used will be explained and contrasted. Chapter 2.2 thendeals with the contentual comparison of both texts. Here the focus will be set on the role that the authors assign to metaphor and metonymy as mechanisms of semantic change.In chapter 2.3, it will be analyzed, which notion of language is manifested in therespective works. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Due to the fact that very often exercises in EFL classrooms have no clear connection to real world situations, researchers and modern English teachers try to put emphasis on tasks which help learners to use the target language effectively in different situations outside the classroom.This term paper has its focus on the implementation of task-based learning and teaching in EFL classrooms and the way task-based activities can be designed especially for young learners. Based on the fact that motivation plays an important role in language learning, it is also necessary to concentrate on possibilities to make the English language attractive for young learners and to help them realizing that through task-based learning activities they can learn something which can be transfered to real life situations.Therefore, I would like to give a brief overview about task-based learning in general and the way it provides effective language learning with the help of motivational tasks in order to show that in-class language practice does not necessarily have to be an artificial situation. With a focus on young learners, I would like to concentrate on the question how to implement a task-based writing activity which supports creativity and active second language use. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics - English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 75.00, University of Birmingham, language: English, abstract: One of the most common and familiar terms today that we have all heard of is that 'It's a Man's World' and frankly speaking, in my opinion this is the truth. This I will discuss in details later on. However, the fact or so in my opinion; no matter how empowered women have gotten in regards to equal rights and women now being considered as able as men to do whatever kind of jobs, tasks and the under-taking on of responsibilities; the world as we know it shall always be a man's world as no matter how independent and empowered a woman may be, she will always have to cope with the challenges and obstacles that she faces, given the nature of a woman being one part and the practicalities being the other. I find this to be a rather interesting paradox if I may term it that way. In the case of 'Breathless' some of the key ideas of existentialism, for example stressing an individual's importance over society rules and the evident absurd confusion of life, lie at the core of the narrative. In my opinion the film shows how decisions that revolve around various aspects of life such as love, career and opportunity show our cowardliness, foreboding, betrayal and the thought of death on the prowl; on the difficulty of being who we pretend to be and even of knowing ourselves. In the void into which the youth of the times had fallen into, Godard could see only love to save them. This can be seen in the character Patricia who is a very independent woman yet she is scared of making decisions about her love life and her career. It is also very clear that despite her independence as a reporter and writer she is harassed by all the men she comes across in her life; the police, Michels' consistency to sleep with her and yet she struggles to decide whether or not he is the man who she wants to be with despite the fact that she knows the police is after him and he is a wanted felon for being involved in criminal activities, stealing cars and most importantly murdering a police officer. In fact at one point in the film she helps Michel steal a Cadillac to help him avert the detection of the police and also does not give away any information that might help the police catch him when she is questioned by the detective. Patricia is a very independent girl at the age of 20 and her exposure to the world due to her journalism really makes her a modern woman in terms of thought and knowledge. [.] 12 pp. Englisch.…

In the build-up of secondary literature about Wittgenstein's late collection of reflections that his literary executors published under the title On Certainty, Danièle Moyal-Sharrock plays an important role with her book 'Understanding Wittgenstein's On Certainty' (2005) and a number of other publications.In her book, she has placed particular weight on the concept of hinges, ascribing to them eight particular properties and vigorously denying them the status of being propositions. Other epistemologists have responded and articulated deviating views.The debate is still going on and this paper attempts to explain, first and foremost, what Wittgenstein wrote about hinges and the concepts interrelated to them, such as doubt, certainty, foundation, and acting. Then I'll summarize, and partly criticize Moyal-Sharrock's position. I shall argue that her accentuation of the nonpropositionality of hinges is a bit exaggerated, a point of view that is also confirmed by some counter-arguments by Annalisa Coliva, who suggests a conciliatory resolution of the conflict. Finally, Moyal-Sharrock gets the last word, though not entirely convincing. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Still, the way of how Germans are rethinking their history is in a state of flux. While the question of collective and individual German guilt has attracted increased scientific and popular attention since the late 1960s, more precisely after the Eichmann and Auschwitz trials, German intellectuals and the German media have in recent years turned their attention, again, towards German suffering during the war. This can be seen as a recourse within a new framework. Already in the immediate postwar period, Germans depicted themselves as victims of the war and its settlement. The preferred self-image was that of being first a victim of Hitler's and then of enemies hands. Once again, though very late, Germans today consider their own countrymen as victims. In movies and books, they depict themselves and their ancestors not only as villains, but also as people who endured air bombing, starvation, and expulsion. This revived way of storytelling began around the new millennium and focused espe-cially on Germany's civilian population. An important stimulus for Germany's coming to terms with its past, or Vergangenheitsbewältigung, was once again triggered by Günter Grass, born in 1927 in Danzig, one of the country's most popular and successful authors. Already as a member of the famous Group 47, he had - inter alia - initiated a new concept to rejuvenate German literature, particularly with his book The Tin Drum. He also contested a denial of civic responsibility and guilt in past and present, which he saw occurring in the consumerist-driven Bonn Republic. His first two books written in the new millennium, the novel Crab-walk, published in 2002, and his autobiographic work Peeling the Onion, released in 2006, were widely analyzed and sparked off a heated debate on both German guilt and German suffering. By using both books as a case study, this essay examines the main issues that were addressed by Grass and points out today's situation of German Vergangenheitsbewältigung. 16 pp. Englisch. …

Historian and author Stanley Elkins compared the practice of slavery in the southern states of the U.S. to 'national socialist concentration camps' (Meißner, Mücke, Weber 120). Unfortunately, it was the sad truth. Slaves were imported from Africa and sold against their will like goods. The sole objective was effective economic exploitation of work force.The purpose of this term paper is to take a closer look and especially illustrate every day hardships of a slave's life on a North American cotton plantation. In this regard, the books Schwarzes Amerika from Meißner, Mücke and Weber, Out of Many from Farager, Buhle, Czitrom and Armitage as well as The Enduring Vision from Boyer, Clark and McNair Hawley serve as a basis for statistics and detailed information.The life of slaves was subject to constantly changing factors which leads to the conclusion that the standard of life was significantly worse on a big plantation than on a small manageable cotton farm. Furthermore, wealth and the plantation owner's character influenced a slave's everyday life as well. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that not all circumstances and factors applied to every plantation. 20 pp. Englisch.…

According to him, it is especially important to identify separate bundles with structural differences and find the relation between them, the so-called 'Kontrastbündel' (contrast bundles). Each one of these bundles can be deduced from the construction plan of the contrastive language.In this regard, Kortmann starts his analysis by comparing his purpose of Contrastive Linguistics to its original use. He refers to the fact that in the early 40s till 60s these language differences were considered the reason for the problems occurring when learning a foreign language. Hence, Contrastive Linguistics was primarily important for pedagogical use. The systematic comparison of two languages was supposed to improve the learner's and teacher's understanding of the foreign language by for example predicting mistakes often made. In this context, Kortmann sees the previously mentioned Contrastive Hypothesis from Lado as a good explanation for the main factors which trigger contrasts. The Contrastive Hypothesis indicates that similarities between the native language (L1) and the foreign language (L2) lead to an easy and fast learning process whereas differences lead to difficulties and are the main reason for making mistakes. Thus, the basic idea of the Contrastive Hypothesis is the transfer of the characteristics of the native language to the foreign language. Depending on whether this transfer promotes or represses the learning process, it is considered a positive or negative transfer. A negative transfer is also referred to as interference. The most important types of interference are substitution (1), over-differentiation, under-differentiation, over-representation and under-representation (2). Here, Kortmann comments that according to this basic assumption of Contrastive Linguistics only substitution, over-differentiation and under-differentiation can trigger mistakes. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Is it not an interesting matter of fact that bilingual children apparently learn a second language easier than monolingual But after reading those texts have you ever asked yourself where exactly the differences between monolingual and bilingual children in second language acquisition (SLA) are I did and therefore I investigated in comparing data of a monolingual and a bilingual child. Consequently in my analysis I will not focus on one particular error but I will take in account all errors made by my subjects. I will start my paper with giving you some background information about the subjects native languages. The monolingual child s native language (NL) is German, the bilingual child s mother tongues are German and Arabic. I will show you the most important differences between English, German and Arabic. Because I did not find a useful Arabic grammar (in fact the problem was that I can not read Arabic letters) I asked a friend of mine to translate some sentences. Therefore you will find a comparative table of English, German and Arabic in Appendix I. In the next part I will tell you something more about my subjects and about the requirements they had to fulfil. Then I will discribe how I collected the data. The complete data will be found in Appendix II. The next step will be a presentation of my results. First I will tell you how the data was scored. Afterwards there will be a detailed description of each error made by my subjects and I will try to analize why they occured. Finally I will draw a conclusion out of my results. 32 pp. Englisch. …
