Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject African Studies - Linguistics, grade: A.1, , language: English, abstract: The place of proverbs and oral literature in the sustenance of a culture cannot be over-emphasised. It is quite regrettable and disheartening that these aspects of culture are grossly ignored and abused these days across many cultures, for which most contemporary members of such cultures know little or nothing in/about these indigenous knowledge and cultures. Bekwarra is one of those cultures, with the contemporary Bekwarra acting negatively towards their culture in almost all phases.This paper is intended to rouse the interest and attention of such peoples, not only the Bekwarra, to their proverbs, oral literature and indigenous cultures towards their sustenance. It concludes that it is imperative to sustain cultures like Bekwarra through these aspects of culture, which involves constant/sustained interest in, teaching and learning cum transmission of these invaluable aspects of culture across generations. They should be constantly preserved, and taught both at home and school.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: Gender marketing as a new holistic marketing approach has been intensely discussed over the last couple of years. At the first glance it can surely appear discriminating to differentiate customers by gender, but the genuine intention of gender marketing is to accept and appreciate both genders as they are and develop products according to their gender specific needs. Therefore, it is important to understand that by talking about gender it does not imply talking about fixed roles of males and females in society. Those roles have changed significantly over the last decades and are expected to continue changing over upcoming years. It rather means taking gender specific needs, wishes and characteristics in consideration while developing products and company strategies in order to achieve long-term success and customer loyalty.But why is this even relevant Women have been buying products anyway, right Certainly, women have been buying products without a gender specific approach already. However, the truth is that our markets are saturated and the flood of information customers are confronted with everyday exceeds their cognitive ability. This itself shows the importance of tailoring products as well as communication strategies to customers¿ needs. Additionally, as mentioned above, social statuses of men and women have been changing continuously. As a result of women¿s access to higher education, better careers and with that higher incomes independence of women has enhanced over time.Even if women already have a strong purchasing power, it has not reached its full potential, yet.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sozialpsychologie, Note: 1,7, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Heutzutage leben wir in einer Welt, die mehr aus Schein als aus Sein besteht. Gleichzeitig streben immer mehr Menschen nach dem Ideal, sie selbst zu sein oder zu werden. Auch die Wissenschaft beschäftigt sich mit dem Begriff Echtheit und nennt dies Authentizität. Warum suchen zunehmend mehr Menschen nach ihrem wahren Kern Möglicherweise gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Authentizität und psychischer Gesundheit. Die erste Studie (Kernis & Goldman, 2002) klärt den Einfluss von Authentizität auf mentale Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden auf. Zudem wird der Begriff Authentizität in einzelnen Komponenten näher bestimmt.Interessant ist auch die Frage, wie weit nahestehende Bezugspersonen, wie Eltern, nicht-elterliche Erwachsene und Freunde, als Vorbild dienen, sich authentisch zu verhalten. Wie weit determinieren Geschlechtsideologien die Persönlichkeitsentfaltung Sind diese förderlich oder eher hinderlich, das wahre Selbst zuzulassen In der zweiten vorgestellten Studie (Wenzel & Lucas-Thompson, 2012) setzten sich die Autoren mit diesen Einflussfaktoren bei der Entwicklung von Authentizität auseinander und gingen der Frage nach, ob eventuell auch geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede vorliegen. Des Weiteren wurden die Effekte der Authentizität auf seelisches Wohlbefinden untersucht. 16 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Sport - Sportmedizin, Therapie, Ernährung, Note: 1,33, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kräftiger, schneller, stärker - dies erhofft man sich bei der gezielten Einnahme von Kreatin beim Muskelaufbautraining. Während Kreatin früher noch als ein Geheimtipp unter Kraft- und Leistungssportlern galt, so ist es heute zu einem der meist benutzten und beliebtesten Nahrungsergänzungsmittel in diversen Sportarten geworden. Seit 1980 wurde Kreatin immer populärer, führte allerdings anfänglich noch zu Bedenken in der Öffentlichkeit und wurde als unsicher und schädlich bezeichnet, gerade weil es oft mit Steroiden verglichen wurde. Die Bedenken wurden jedoch mit der Zeit durch Wissenschaftler widerlegt und Kreatin wurde somit als sicheres Nahrungsergänzungsmittel für den Muskelaufbau und für die Kraftsteigerung bekannt.Heutzutage begegnet man Kreatin auch schon in fast jedem Fitnessstudio und in so wie gut allen Nahrungsergänzungsmittelläden und es ist überall ein Verkaufsschlager. Außerdem gibt es bei den Anbietern eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Varianten des Kreatins, sodass man schnell den Überblick verlieren kann. Da in meinem Freundeskreis über die Einnahme von Kreatin während des Krafttrainings spekuliert worden ist, stellte sich mir die Frage, warum Kreatin denn so beliebt sei und was es denn mit diesem ominösen Kreatin auf sich habe, gerade bezogen auf dessen Wirkungsweise beim Muskelaufbau. Deshalb möchte ich gerne die Wirkungsweise von Kreatin beim Muskelaufbau näher untersuchen und die wichtigsten Informationen dazu herausarbeiten und folglich erläutern. Dazu werde ich zunächst allgemein definieren, was Kreatin überhaupt ist und seine Wirkungsweise im Körper darstellen. Im Folgenden werde ich dann auf die Wirkungen und Vorteile einer Kreatinsupplementierung beim Muskelaufbau eingehen und diese erläutern. Daraufhin werde ich mich mit den dabei entstehenden Nebenwirkungen auseinandersetzen und beschreiben, was man bei der Kreatinsupplementierung zu beachten hat und ob diese überhaupt legal ist. …

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Theoretische (Erkenntnis, Wissenschaft, Logik, Sprache), Note: 1,7, Universität Leipzig, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gibt es Emotionen, die jeder Mensch auf der Welt auf die gleiche Art und Weise ausdrückt Wenn ja, werden sie dann auch gleich empfunden Oder ist Kultur und Erziehung der determinierende Faktor für das emotionale Erleben eines Menschen Die zunächst dichotom wirkenden Aussagen werden in unzähligen Disziplinen ausgetragen, ob in der Psychologie zwischen Evolutionisten und Behavioristen; in der Ethnologie zwischen Universalisten und Kulturrelativisten, in der Philosophie, der Ethologie oder der Linguistik (vgl. auch 'Nature-Nuture-Debate').Mit seiner psychologisch-ethologischen Perspektive erklärt Paul Ekman das Phänomen der 'Instinkt-Dressur-Verschränkung' von Emotionen auf eine neuro-kulturelle Weise. Dabei legt er sein handlungstheoretisch und funktionalistisch geprägtes Augenmerk primär auf die Physiologie des Gesichts. Mit seiner Argumentation stellt er sich auf die Seite der Evolutionisten und Universalisten und knüpft somit an die zwei Jahrhunderte zuvor begonnenen Untersuchungen Charles Darwins zum Ausdruck der Gefühlsbewegungen an.Im Folgenden werde ich den Diskurs um seine These der Universalität der sieben Emotionen - Angst, Ekel, Freude, Trauer, Überraschung, Wut, Verachtung - aus vier unterschiedlichen, für den historischen Zusammenhang der Kontroverse relevante Annäherungen an das Thema, analysieren. 24 pp. Deutsch.…

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich BWL - Handel und Distribution, Note: 1,0, FOM Essen, Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen früher Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Globaler Handel ist sowohl in der deutschen als auch der europäischen Welt bereits Standard. Ein Standard, der günstige Preise und unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten für Konsumenten mit sich bringt. Wir sind es gewöhnt, Obst und Gemüse jederzeit, auch außerhalb der Saison, erwerben zu können. Diese Entwicklung des Global Sourcings resultiert aus dem stetig wachsenden Preiskampf, in welchem Unternehmen sich ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sichern wollen. Das Prinzip ist simpel: Die Produktion von Gütern und Dienstleistungen wird dorthin verlegt, wo die Arbeits- und Unterhaltskosten gering sind. 'Im Alltag benutzen wir für diese uneingeschränkte Öffnung des Marktes über alle Kontinente und Ländergrenzen hinweg das Wort 'Globalisierung'.' Die südlichen Länder sind in der Primärproduktion und dem Rohstoffverkauf tätig, wohingegen die nördlichen Länder den Schwerpunkt auf Dienstleistungen setzen. Diese Arbeitsteilung findet heute im internationalen Rahmen und in verstärkter Ausprägung statt. In diesem Zuge wurden die Missstände der Arbeitsbedingungen für Plantagen- und Fabrikarbeiter bekannt: unzureichende Löhne, Kinderarbeit und Diskriminierung. Unter dem Begriff 'Fairtrade' haben es sich nationale und internationale Organisationen auf die Agenda geschrieben, Konsumenten auf die Folgen der Globalisierung aufmerksam zu machen sowie entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen zu entwickeln. Maßnahmen, um das Ungleichgewicht zwischen den entwickelten und den weniger entwickelten Länder auszugleichen und um den globalen Handel in einen fairen Handel zu wandeln. Doch was ist fairer Handel 28 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Hausarbeit werden zunächst Sprach- und Sprechstörungen voneinander differenziert und einzelne Sprechstörungen, aber vor allem das Stottern, dargestellt. Im Verlauf der Hausarbeit wird sowohl auf die sprachliche als auch soziale und psychische Entwicklung des Kindes und die Symptome des Stotterns eingegangen. Anschließend werden verschiedene Therapien und Ansätze gegen das Stottern vorgestellt.Kommunikation aber auch verschiedene Störungen der Kommunikation, wie zum Beispiel Sprach- oder Sprechstörungen, die zwischen Menschen stattfinden, sind in unserer Gesellschaft nicht mehr weg zu denken. Jeden Tag nehmen wir Sprach- oder Sprechstörungen bewusst oder unbewusst wahr und sind oder waren gegebenenfalls von diesen betroffen. Viele dieser Störungen beeinflussen den Charakter des betroffenen Menschen und sein Verhalten, da er sich lediglich darauf begrenzt. Besonders bei der Sprechstörung Stottern ist auffällig, dass die betroffenen Kinder und Erwachsenen sich schämen, kommunikativ sehr eingeschränkt und emotional beeinträchtigt sind. Des Weiteren kann sich die Sprechstörung auf die soziale und psychische Entwicklung des Betroffenen auswirken.'Ich habe bis heute Vieles in meinem Leben erreicht und auch so manche schwierige Situation gut gemeistert. [.] In meinen jungen Jahren hätte ich nie-mals gedacht, dass ich dies mit meinem Sprachfehler so weit bringen könne.' Das Zitat von Frank Krüger aus seiner Biographie 'Mobbing-Falle Stottern. Habs hinter mir gelassen' macht deutlich, dass ein Leben mit einer Sprach- oder Sprechstörung nicht ein minderwertigeres Leben bedeuten muss. Aber wie hat Frank Krüger es geschafft, mit seiner Sprechstörung so umzugehen und solch ein Selbstvertrauen aufzubauen Diese Frage soll als Leitfrage zur Hausarbeit zum Thema Stottern verwendet werden.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Frieden und Konflikte, Sicherheit, Note: 2,3, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Nexus 'Sicherheit - öffentliche Gesundheit'. Dabei wird untersucht, in welcher Art und Weise Virusausbrüche als Gesundheitsnotlagen auf der internationalen Ebene geframt werden, um so außergewöhnliche Maßnahme zu legitimieren. Dabei soll vor allem die Vorgehensweise der Weltgesundheitsorganisation als einzige internationale Koordinationsbehörde für öffentliche Gesundheit in den Blick genommen werden. Ich werde eine vergleichende Perspektive einnehmen, um zu sehen, wie die WHO bei früheren Pandemien (beispielhaft aufgezeigt an SARS und H1N1) auf der einen Seite und im aktuellen Fall Ebola auf der anderen Seite reagierte. Daraus leitet sich die Kernfrage dieser Masterarbeit ab:Wie wandelte sich der Umgang der WHO mit Virus-Pandemien Diese Frage entsteht durch die Vorannahme, dass die Weltgesundheitsorganisation versucht, eine Virus-Infektionskrankheit zu versicherheitlichen und diese Securitization wiederum als Grundlage für einen weiteren Ausbau ihrer Kompetenzen nutzen wird wie dies bereits im Rahmen früherer Virus-Ausbrüche (SARS, H1N1) beobachtet werden konnte. Das Erkenntnisinteresse der Arbeit ist der Versuch, nachzuvollziehen, ob und inwiefern der frame 'Bedrohung für die nationale, regionale und globale Sicherheit' in der Krisenpolitik der WHO anlässlich des Ausbruchs der Ebola-Pandemie 2014 angewendet wurde.Den theoretischen Rahmen zur Bearbeitung dieser Frage bietet die Securitization-Theorie, die ein umfassendes Verständnis des Konzepts 'Sicherheit' hat und auch bewusst nicht-militärische Bedrohungen miteinbezieht. 88 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pre-University Paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 15 Punkte, , language: English, abstract: 'If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he is not fit to live' - these words are still well-known today and have truly determined not only the life of one man, but of an entire race. Nobody has ever been able to influence the destiny of one class as much as this man did.Martin Luther King Jr.: A man whose one of a kind rhetorical skills and unique determination to make a change have rewritten endless chapters of history, of slavery, of segregation. A man who took very seriously what he said; a man who never gave up on his dream, not even after uncountable insults, attacks and assassination attempts; a man who stood for what he said and finally paid with the death.He was 'fit to live' though. And the result is that his legacy has not only protected innumerous 'Negros' from being insulted, humiliated and abused, but has also provided them more equality and a sense of unity and brotherhood. Special about his endeavour was his tremendous condemnation of any sort of violence, what he elucidated when he said that 'nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time.'The purpose of this paper is to discuss the sustainability of Martin Luther King's project and to conclude what impact it had and still has on the contemporary American society. First of all a brief overview of the history and situation of African Americans in North America from the beginning of their importation until the onset of the civil rights movement will be given in order to illustrate the circumstances King was facing and to acknowledge the improvements achieved by the civil rights movement activists in general and Martin Luther King in particular.In the following part King's life and beliefs will be more closely examined in order to explain how he had become the charismatic and influential leader living in the memories of a whole nation and how his relentless fight for his ideals has changed and shaped the face of America. In the last part it will be discussed whether and to which extent Martin Luther King still has an impact on today's American society by analysing recent examples which prove that thanks to Martin Luther King America has become a fairer and more human place, but also by exposing facts that pose challenges in terms of equality. 28 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, University of Kelaniya, language: English, abstract: Sri Lanka has an ability to become one of the best tourism countries in Asia. However, it missed opportunities on a number of occasions due to inappropriate economic policies, continuous political violence and wars. Since 1983 the Sri Lankan tourism sector was seriously affected by the nearly three decades of separatist war which ended in May 2009. Immediately after the end of the war tourism in Sri Lanka bounced back and it now has become the engine of economic growth in post war Sri Lanka. In this paper, a historical analysis has been undertaken to demonstrate how Sri Lanka missmatched their development strategies in terms of tourism, although the country had potential to attract record number of tourists. The post-war tourism boom has given Sri Lankans and the Sri Lankan tourism sector new hopes and optimism. This paper demonstrates that the Sri Lankan tourism sector has potential and opportunities to play a vital role in the post-war inclusive development strategy in terms of generating much needed foreign exchange, poverty alleviation via employment generation, accelerating economic growth and uplifting living standards of all Sri Lankans. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: B, University of Ibadan (Centre for Petroleum Energy Economics and Law), course: Environmental Law and Policy I, language: English, abstract: Access to energy in the form of electricity undoubtedly plays an important role in nation's growth, economic development, healthcare delivery, addressing energy poverty, supporting urbanization, delivering competitive energy to developing and developed countries alike and generally human well-being. There are different sources of electricity; and generation of electricity from them equally affect human well- being and the environment. Some of the notable sources of electricity or energy are: solar, fossil fuels, biogas, solid biomass, nuclear, hydropower. This work attempts to examine the environmental safety of coal use vis-a -vis power provision in Nigeria.Coal is a fossil fuel formed from decomposition of organic materials subjected to geological heat and pressure for millions of years. It is considered a non- renewable energy source because it cannot be replenished within human time frame. Coal is a combustible black or brownish - black sedimentary rock normally occurring in rock strata in layers or vein called coal beds or coal steams.The United States Energy Information Administration highlighting the importance and cheaper cost of coal in energy mix states that global consumption is likely to increase by 48%from 6 .7 million metric tons to an estimated 9. 98 billion short tons by 2030. Coal as an energy source contributes about 30% of the United States of America electricity generation, 93% of South Africa electricity generation, and 79% of the People's Republic of China electricity generation. Going by this statistics and the fact that coal is cheap source for electricity generation, it is safe to assert that Nigeria has the potentials to produce cheaper electricity to solve its dearth of electricity generation and supply using coal.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Law of Obligation / Property Law, grade: 72, Cardiff University (School of Law), course: LLB Module Sales of Godds and Agency, language: English, abstract: In this essay I will analyse the appropriateness of the reform of the law on the passing of property of a specific quantity of goods forming part of a bulk by measuring it against its objectives, examining how far it solves the problems of the old law and considering the inconsistencies which introduces into the Sales law.Firstly, the problems of the law before the reform and the reasons for the reform will be discussed. Secondly, the law introduced by the reform will be described; and thirdly, the solution offered by the reform and its interaction with the rules on passing of property and passing of risk will be critically analysed. The author will argue that while the reform seemingly successfully responds to all problems of the old law, after scrutiny it is clear that the reform suffers from inconsistency and immanent injustice and fails to provide the intended protection to the buyer.Until September 1995 where a buyer bought a specified quantity forming part of an identified bulk, i.e. 250 tons of wheat from a named ship carrying a cargo of 500 tons, he could not acquire property in the goods until the goods were ascertained. This was result of a mandatory rule in s. 16 which provided that 'where there is a contract for the sale of unascertained goods no property in the goods is transferred to the buyer unless and until the goods are ascertained'. The most serious consequence of the mandatory rule in s. 16 was that the buyer did not acquire property in the goods even though he had paid for it and received a document purporting to be a document of title. If the seller became insolvent before the goods were ascertained, both the paid price and the goods in the bulk passed to the office-holder in insolvency for the benefit of secured creditors and the buyer happens to be merely an unsecured creditor with no proprietary claim to his goods. As follows the seller s secured creditors might receive an undeserved windfall, because both the goods and the paid price might fall into the assets of the insolvent seller in liquidation. The Sale of Goods (Amendment) Act 1995 attempted to solve this undesirable situation by introducing an exception to s.16. In s. 20A (1) it was introduced that unless otherwise agreed the prepaying buyer purchasing specified quantity of an identified bulk acquires an undivided share in the bulk ad becomes a tenant in common of the bulk. 20 pp. Englisch. …

The general assumption is that 'by studying history, intelligence agencies can learn from past mistakes and aim to improve their performance' (Efren Torres). However, the truth of this belief must be weighed against some limitations that historians meet and that could affect their work. Foremost, there is the problem of the bias of historians and how it can affect the objectivity of their work; secondly, the lack of applicable patterns in using history as a source from which to glean lessons learned; lastly, the inevitable gaps that historians encounter in seeking evidence of the past. This essay focuses on these limitations and on the extent to which they can affect the intelligence performance. It will be argued that the study of history is a double-edged sword to the intelligence field. 12 pp. Englisch. …

This interplay is governed by certain rules and regulations that ensure a free and open market system amongst the countries that participate in them. This paper seeks to show the emergence and development of an open and competitive energy market under the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) energy protocol. It examines the multi-polarity of the sub regional energy market and its existing legal framework as regards the constraints in providing an open and competitive market. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Western Europe, grade: 1,9, Reutlingen University (ESB Business School), language: English, abstract: On the 9th of February the Swiss population decided with a slight majority of 50,3% to limit immigration into their country. Due to this development, the political system 'direct democracy' is discussed more critically in Switzerland and also in Germany and other countries. Because of the decision of the Swiss population to limit immigration into the country, more and more people point out that direct democracy is not an efficient political system to further the prosperity of the inhabitants. Furthermore, according to many critics, the decision to limit immigration has extremely negative effects on the economy of Switzerland. According to their election programs, more and more German political parties like to integrate more direct democracy into the existant system of representative democracy in Germany. For example 'Die Linke', the 'SPD' or new political parties like the 'AfD' are proponents of more direct democracy in Germany.

Gas flaring is a major concern globally because of its impact on the society. It is therefore not a surprise that efforts are being made to combat gas flaring all over the world and Nigeria is not excluded from this drive. In Nigeria, policies have been formulated and laws and regulations passed to ensure that gas flaring comes to an end. Similar to what obtains in other international jurisdictions, the characteristic feature of the law is to make provisions prohibiting gas flaring and enacting penal provisions to punish oil producing companies that are guilty of gas flaring. However, while some jurisdictions have made significant progress in reducing gas flaring, Nigeria has only leapfrogged in the same direction for decades. Typically, accusing finger is being pointed to slack penal regime that is not strong enough to deter oil companies from flaring associated gas. The aim of this paper is to review the current regulatory regime especially in relation to the penal provisions and make a case for the need to have more punitive penal provisions in our law.In addressing the issue identified above, this paper attempts to review the existing regulatory regime, examine how much progress Nigeria has made at nipping the scourge of gas flaring in the bud over the years and then conclude on the need to inject more punitive provisions in our law. 20 pp. Englisch.…

The majority of post independence African leaders supported the idea of African Union, some of them disagreed on the form and composition of such a union while a minority were suspicious of the idea because of greed or fear to lose their countries sovereignty. The proponents for the formation of a closer cooperation in Africa argued that Africa should not only serve as a source of cheap raw materials to western countries but a vibrant power in global affairs. They argued that, this idea can only be achieved if all countries bring their human and material resources together to form a united front for the interest of Africans in particular and the world at large. This idea led to the formation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963 which was later transformed to the African Union (AU) in 2002. 16 pp. Englisch.…

These professionals ought to satisfy the demand in managerial or administrative assistance in cross-company projects, safeguard a uniform company policy within lately founded subsidies or ensure a more fluid information flow in international mergers or acquisitions. Sending a professional abroad is always costly and risky for a company. Hence, the selection of a future expatriate needs to be based on distinct criteria and a sensible preparation is to be worked out on time. The principal aim of this assignment is to work out an overview and an assessment of feasible methods of preparing a professional for an extended business stay abroad with regard to intercultural aspects. First, I give a definition of the term `extended business stay which leads to a general description of required preconditions. Then I briefly focus on the phases one generally passes through during such a stay. Second, I work out a detailed description of feasible preparation methods and assess whether these are sufficiently applicable during these phases. Third, in the concluding section, I review my findings. 20 pp. Englisch.…

On the one hand, journalism is an ancient academic 'textual system' that has a symbiotic relationship with history and law; 'a hybrid, interdisciplinary mix of the humanities and the social sciences'. On the other hand, journalism is a profession evolving out of, and alongside communication advancements, 'created by the industrial and bourgeois political revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries and fully institutionalised in the mass media'. These differences are realised in the convergence of different practises and conventions applied in the 'third wave' of the internet, where 'every part of our lives will inevitably rely on an internet connection'. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: 1st, The University of Liverpool, course: Theories of International Relations, language: English, abstract: We can observe that the question about how the international realm is structured and about how anarchy works receives growing importance with recent events. While showing the theoretical approaches of the two named IR schools, it is important to keep in mind that this topic is very close and mutually connected to latest political developments as the Brexit or the new US-President who attempt to renew the international order.At first, this essay will embed the theories in a historical background and their origins. Constructivism is not only a theory in international relations. It's a big school of thought with a huge number of subcategories and different manifestations. Especially the end of the cold war and the fact that the scholars in IR who were following the big theories like realism or idealism failed to predict this end, opened the door for the development of a new theory in IR. Alexander Wendt applied the theory of a socially constructed world to the subject of international relations.The main interest of a state, to seek survival, don't change from a realist to a neo-realist point of view. For realists, the condition of flawed man in the status of human nature explains why cooperation is never guaranteed and states must increase their power consequently. In contrast to that human nature don't play a role in the neo-realist theory, for (neo)realists, international anarchy describes the social relations among sovereign nation-states that causally explain why wars occur. 20 pp. Englisch. …
