Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: This paper examines the themes of imprisonment and release in Kazuo Ishiguro's 1989 novel 'The Remains of the Day.' It discusses the relation between the two main narratives as well as the peculiarities of the language of Stevens, the butler at Darlington Hall, who is the protagonist and first person narrator. The author examines in what ways Stevens' demeanour resembles that of a man to whom has been granted release following a life spent in prison. The nature of this prison is investigated as well as whether Stevens is conscious of his imprisonment and if his journey through England provides him an opportunity for escape. The question of Stevens' self-awareness is an important one for this paper and draws upon an essay by Meghan Marie Hammond about Stevens' role as an author.…

Efficacy of Descartes' postulation is concluded in relation to the impact made upon the world, citing present reflections of the statement 'Cogito, Ergo Sum'.

Various critics have suggested that the protagonists daughter, Florence, should be interpreted as a meek and feeble damsel in distress, tortured by her father's inability to love her. Florence's refusal to stand up to her father and unending quest for his love are represented as weaknesses that deem her a 'fairy-tale princess'. Is it possible, then, to reverse the lens and consider Florence an emblem of strength Or does her father's abuse diminish her capacity as a nineteenth century heroine This essay offers a character analysis on the basis of the text. 16 pp. Englisch.…

He is known by almost everybody, whether people have read his stories or not. This paper is intended to discuss and to contrast the topics 'Justice and Judgment' and 'Lies and Deceit' with regard to the short story 'The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton' written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.For Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional character Sherlock Holmes '[.] the social order is something to be both upheld and defied. On one hand, his bohemian nature rebels at class distinction and privilege, while on the other hand he takes extreme measures to rescue the aristocracy from scandal' (Doyle, Steven; Crowder, David A. 74).I personally chose this short story on the one hand because of the presence of one of Holmes' biggest opponents apart from Professor James Moriarty, his gofer Colonel Sebastian Moran and Irene Adler - the already mentioned Charles Augustus Milverton - and on the other hand because of the fact that Sherlock Holmes himself commits a crime in this story.My aim in the conclusion of chapter 4 will be to consider whether lies and deceit or justice and judgment gain the upper hand in 'The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton' or if there is simply no clear line that makes it possible to separate both topics from each other. 20 pp. Englisch.…

H. Lawrence's novel 'Women in Love' and on his seemingly new 'philosophy of the relationship of men and women'. The second part of the paper will deal with Simone de Beauvoir's critique on D. H.

Both shall be examined as to the image of the presented roles of men and women.The novel 'Women in Love' was written by D. H. Lawrence and published in 1921. The book was supposed to be sequel to the novel called 'The Rainbow'.However, both novels were censured in the UK and in France because they were thought to be too sexually explicit. The book 'The Second Sex' by Simone de Beauvoir is an analysis of the oppression of women and is regarded a major work of feminist literature. The book was published in 1949 and was highly influential for the revolution of 1968. Simone de Beauvoir is regarded a pioneer of feminism. 16 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: This essay analyzes the character of Satan in John Milton's epic 'Paradise Lost' and discusses the question whether he might be considered a classic hero. Paradise Lost, John Milton's religious epic, has astounded and fascinated readers throughout time and as such may be one of the most highly discussed examples of English literature within living memory. The controversy of Paradise Lost began with its publication in 1674 by John Milton during the time of the Interregnum in England, and even nowadays its subject remains an essential fixture in Western literary canon as well as an important source of inspiration for numerous scholars and artists. Therefore it is interesting to analyze the reasons why a literary work that has been written more than three centuries ago, continues to be the topic and the central cause for scholars' debate and countless essays and interpretations. One of the most significant reasons may be the different manners of interpretation, as several aspects may come into focus, while reading Paradise Lost. Determined the counterpart of God, Satan is commonly described as the embodiment of evil. Nevertheless, Milton presents the character depth of his protagonist, so that questions of Satan being a heroic figure arise. In consideration of Satan's character traits, his downfall from an archangel of heaven to the prince of hell and lastly to the tempter of mankind as illustrated in Paradise Lost should be analyzed. As the historical reading is a further way of interpreting Paradise Lost, parallels between Satan and historical personalities of the British Revolution, namely Oliver Cromwell and Charles I, are examined. Furthermore the importance of fate in contrast to the belief of free will considering Satan's attitude is put into focus. In order to compare Satan's characteristics with those of a classical hero, it is necessary to give a brief definition of the classical hero firstly. In terms of the concept of heroism, Aristotle's concept of tragedy, especially his definition of hamartia which refers to the tragic flaw of ancient heroes and is hence connected with the idea of the classical hero, serves as an important source. Due to these aspects, a conclusion whether the literary Satan can be regarded as a classical hero can be drawn. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Film Science, grade: 1,3, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: In my term paper, I will examine the narrative structure in 'Memento' which switches between chronological narration and reversed temporality. With respect to this unique narrative structure, I will take a closer look at the black-and-white and colour sequences, the opening sequence and the outstanding and resolvent scene 22/A, especially regarding the cinematography used. In the further course of my work, you will learn of the essential role of the unreliable narrator regarding my thesis and finally what impact the fabula construction in 'Memento' has on his viewers.'Causes and their effects are basic to narrative, but they take place in time'. This quotation from Bordwell's and Thompson's work Film Art, an Introduction does not only show a fundamental principle of narration but furthermore depicts a possibility to manipulate the spectator's understanding of a story. Christopher Nolan's 'Memento' is one example of what a complex narration can be. The film shows two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who suffers anterograde amnesia and attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he can remember. On the one hand there is a forward moving storyline, the black-and-white scenes while the other one, the colour sequences, tells the story backwards. Although the story behind the film is rather simple, the narrative structure is extremely complex and clever, which demands constant attention from its spectators.This term paper will deal with the methods used in 'Memento' which mislead the audience's understanding of the story. My thesis is therefore: Narrative complexity in Christopher Nolan's 'Memento' - Narrative structure, Narrator's unreliability, fabula construction and cinematography as key elements for the spectator's manipulation. Apart from the film 'Memento', the central literature I will work with is the essay by Stefano Ghislotti 'Narrative Comprehension Made Difficult: Film, Form and Mnemonic Devices in 'Memento'', the documentary 'Anatomy of a Scene' about the making of 'Memento', a text by Andy Klein named 'Everything You Wanted to Know about 'Memento'' and different filmic narrativity by Jakob Lothe, David Herman and Edward Branigan. In addition to that, there is a self-generated sequence analysis attached to the term paper in order to have an overall view of the scenes I take a closer look at. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Greenwich, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the influence of Asian cultural identity on Global Marketing. Over the course of the past decades globalisation has had a great impact on the every day lives of people around the globe. Due to the advances in technology and new inventions, such as the internet and therefore the diminishing of boundaries, people from various countries of the world are now more than ever able to be connected to each other, travel and overcome far distances, as well as purchase and consume products and services from all over the world. The benefits of globalisation not only influence people in their daily lifes, but can also be applied to the way in which companies organise themselves as well as operate in their home and foreign markets. The rise of global companies that sell and market products in foreign countries affected organisational work and created the need for global marketing strategies. In order for these strategies to work the different cultural backgrounds and values of customers need to be taken into account. Mooij supports this idea by pointing out, that in order for marketing or advertising to be effective it 'must include values that match the values of the consumers being addressed' (Mooij, 1998, p.91). Mooij explains further, that the way in which consumers behave and are motivated largely depends on their culture, which is why marketing strategies need to be relevant to the culture of the consumer they are trying to address (Mooij M. D., 1998). This explains why marketing managers today face a number of challenges and are influenced by the cultural identity of the country they are marketing a product in. Asia has one of the largest economies of the world which makes it extremely attractive for companies seeking to expand globally. East Asia alone is home to about 20 percent of the world's population and is likely to make up an equally high share of the world trade (Chaze, 2010). In the following, this essay will try to explain how the Asian culture in terms of group, family and status orientation might culturally influence the way in which foreign companies market their products to Asian consumers as well as discuss possible practical measures that should be taken by international marketers in this context. 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 2004 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,3, University of Augsburg, course: Academic Writing, language: English, abstract: Stereotypes and prejudice are omnipresent and therefore influence every person in his or her perception. Undoubtedly, most of us are unaware of this fact. As a phrase from the 'Handwörterbuch der Psychologie' states, 'The prejudice of our own impartiality is the strongest prejudice of all'(Asanger, & Wenninger, p. 539). Gender stereotype refers to the subjective perception of what a male or female should be or how one should behave. For example, a stereotypic Hong Kong Chinese person would perceive that females should be gentle, sympathetic and shy, whereas males should possess strong personality and leadership abilities (Fung, & Ma, 2000). Gender roles can change in alignment with changes in society. However, the Arima (2003) study determined that television advertisements in Japan still depicted the old gender stereotype of 'men at work and women at home', even though the rate of women attending college and of women in the working population has increased. Moreover, the younger generation in Japan supports the new gender stereotype of 'men at work, women at both work and home'. In the US, television advertisements reflected gender role expectations, as well. Products that are assumed to appeal to female customers are presented exclusively by a female main character. Respectively, products predominantly designed for men, are exclusively presented by male characters (Blain, & McElroy, 2002). Although gender representation has been studied extensively in the US, little is known about the portrayal of gender stereotypes in German and Asian television advertisements. This study proposes to fill this gap by analysing German television advertisements and by comparing the findings to the results of latest studies on gender stereotypes in East Asia. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Habitation, Urban Sociology, , language: English, abstract: Maslow's theory of needs puts shelter on a high pedestal and sees it as one of the most fundamental needs of mankind. This view is asserted by Karl Marx when he stated that life involves before anything else eating and drinking, a habitation, clothing and other things. The ability of a nation to provide decent housing for its citizenry has been among other things, a barometer considered in assessing its level of development. Globally, housing problems have been attributed to a considerable extent on the affordability of units provided and ease of construction. The housing deficit, affordability of housing units and cost of construction materials are among a myriad of problems that governments of developing countries are forced to grapple with. Most governments attempt controlling these problems through housing policies. In Ghana however, the grave housing deficit of 1,600,000 units has been influenced by a number of failed attempts at housing provision since independence. In investigating the rapid buildup of the housing deficit, this paper provides a historical account of housing policies and finance interventions made by colonial and post-colonial governments. In doing so, the study concentrates on the review of secondary data. From a historical viewpoint, the paper established that the gross failure of successive housing interventions by various governments contributed significantly towards worsening the housing deficit. 20 pp. Englisch.…
