Neuware -Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, , course: Teaching English to the Speakers of Other Languages, language: English, abstract: This research aims to find out whether there is any impact on performance when students read authentic materials beside the textbooks.Students in Bangladesh often have difficulties in learning English as a foreign language for lack of appropriate learning materials in the classroom. Too often foreign language teaching texts in our country are designed either too difficult or too easy for students. Without appropriate texts that suit them, learners spend long hours in the classroom accomplishing very little in the long run. Most of them remain weak in reading, writing, listening and speaking in English properly even after receiving higher education. Students¿ performance varies according to the type of materials given to them. A significant amount of research shows that there is something about the type of textbooks/materials that should be looked into and evaluated carefully so that necessary adaptation can be made for effective learning to take place.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2.0, Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germanistisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Krise und Kritik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bei der Auseinandersetzung mit dem zwischen 1920 und 1921 erschienenen Aufsatz 'Zur Kritik der Gewalt' von Walter Benjamin soll erarbeitet werden, welche gesellschaftlichen Umstände zum Ende der Rechtsordnung führen können, um die Metaphysik einer neuen Geschichtsphilosphie begründen zu können. Die Zugehörigkeit zur Frankfurter Schule lässt sich nicht klären. Es wird allerdings schon bei Lektüre des Autors deutlich, dass man ihn der Aufklärung zuschreiben kann. In seinem Kritik- Aufsatz verweist er an mehreren Stellen auf den kategorischen Imperativ, er benennt Darwins Evolutionstheorie und argumentiert mit Sorel. Benjamin war ausserdem gut mit Adorno und Horkheimer befreundet. Adorno ist für die Publikation von Benjamins Schriften nach seinem Tod verantwortlich.Sein Werk soll nicht als wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung oder Rezension verstanden werden, sondern die Kritik steht im Zentrum seines Selbstverständnisses und seiner philosophischen Praxis. 12 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 'Die wahren Ärzte beugen sich vor der Gottheit, denn in ihrer eigenen Kunst haben sie keinen Überfluss an Machtmitteln' - Hippokrates, der wohl bekannteste Arzt der Antike, zeigt hier mit seinem Zitat, dass das antike Griechenland eine eher unübliche Denkweise der heutigen medizinischen Wissenschaft vertritt. Die Koexistenz von Wissenschaft und Glaube in einem Bereich, der bis heute noch fasziniert, ja für den sogar auch Hippokrates persönlich steht. Denn die antiken Griechen waren alles andere als eintönig - der polytheistische Glaube an verschiedene Gottheiten und die Verehrung dieser in riesigen Tempeln sind nur ein Beispiel dafür. Das gilt nämlich auch für den medizinischen Bereich. Denn während Hippokrates im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. die Medizin als Wissenschaft begründet, baut sich allmählich der religiöse Asklepioskult auf, der sich schnell verbreitete und auch im Römischen Reich Anhänger fand.Diese doch ziemlich widersprüchlichen Formen der medizinischen Behandlung lebten also einige Jahrhunderte zusammen - sogar heute noch basieren Grundvoraussetzungen wie grundlegende Hygiene oder die innere, psychische Verfassung eines Patienten auf der hippokratischen Medizin. Auch das Ausmaß des Aklepioskults kann anhand der archäologischen Funde in griechischen Städten, wie Kos, Pergamon und vor allem Epidauros - der Hauptort des Asklepioskults - gedeutet werden. Diverse Heilungsberichte und Wundererzählungen über Asklepios und seine medizinische Arbeit beweisen die enorme Verbreitung der göttlichen Tempelmedizin ebenfalls.So widersprüchlich diese antike medizinische Kultur anfangs auch scheinen mag, umso mehr wird uns ihre doch so starke Ähnlichkeit faszinieren, die das Hauptthema dieser Arbeit sein soll. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es nicht, die medizinische Geschichte Griechenlands darzustellen, vielmehr sollen einige wesentliche Berührungspunkte der antiken Heilkulturen anhand von erhaltenen Heilungsberichten des Asklepios und unter Berücksichtigung der hippokratischen Schriften erarbeitet werden. Zur besseren Übersichtlichkeit sollen zunächst der Aufbau und die zu beantwortende Fragestellung vorgestellt werden. 28 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Persönlichkeitspsychologie, Note: 2,0, Europäische Fernhochschule Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Welt ist vernetzt und auch die Liebe hat im Netz ihren Platz gefunden. Eine Online-Umfrage unter Nutzern von Online-Partnerbörsen im Jahr 2013 in Deutschland hat ergeben, dass 48,2% der Befragten mehrmals pro Woche Online-Dating Portale nutzen. Die Partnerwahl hat sich somit im Vergleich zur Vergangenheit verändert. Man überlässt die Partnerwahl nicht mehr dem Zufall, sondern nimmt die Auswahl selbst in die Hand.Somit ist es notwendig, neue Räume für Bekanntschaften zu schaffen und neue Möglichkeiten zu finden, andere Menschen kennenzulernen und somit 'den Partnerpool' zu vergrößern. Eine Möglichkeit stellen für Schuldt Online-Dating Portale dar. Die Angebote sind umfangreich.Für die vorliegende Untersuchung sollen ausschließlich Online-Dating Portale einbezogen werden, die als Flirtplattformen zum unverbindlichen Kennenlernen genutzt werden können. Interessant ist, ob es trotz veränderter Partnerwahl, vermehrter Nutzung und dadurch Erhöhung der potentiellen Partneranzahl eine einheitliche oder zumindest ähnliche Nutzergruppe gibt. Nutzen nur Menschen mit bestimmten Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen Online-Dating Portale oder unterscheiden sich die Nutzer, die im Internet auf Partnersuche sind, hinsichtlich ihrer Persönlichkeitsmerkmale von denen, die diese Art der Partnersuche nicht nutzen Wenn diese Annahme zutrifft, wäre die Auswahl für die Nutzer eingeschränkt, da nur ein bestimmter Persönlichkeitstyp die Angebote von Online-Dating Portalen nutzt. Dies kann positiv sein, wenn die Nutzer einen ähnlichen Persönlichkeitstyp suchen. Sollten die Nutzer aber einen anderen Charaktertypus suchen, wird die Auswahl bei Bestätigung der Hypothese gering sein. Interessant wäre diese Aussage beispielsweise für die Anbieter von Online-Dating Portalen. Eine Spezialisierung auf die entsprechenden Persönlichkeitsmerkmale könnte eine Erhöhung der Mitgliederzahl und eine höhere Attraktivität für Werbetreibende zur Folge haben. Im Folgenden soll also untersucht werden, ob es einen Unterschied in den Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen zwischen Nutzern und Nicht-Nutzern von Online-Dating Portalen gibt. 64 pp. Deutsch.…

As per my long experience in teaching this book in the Middle East, I am one of the admirers of this book because it is simple, modernized and it also has valuable information for the learners. It is mentioned in the book that English is not limited to a culture, religion or nationality and it's a global or international language. Consequently, it's very important to know whether the aims of the book have been achieved or not. And because the textbook has a strong effect on the learners' behaviors, it is crucial to be evaluated culturally in order to know whether it is really suitable for our learners or not. 28 pp. Englisch.…

What one associates with a nation forms the national identity which is - for many maybe subconsciously - a crucial element of the individual identity. In my opinion nations will always strive for nation states as they guarantee most reliably the protection of national and therefore personal interests such as cultural determination, security, political self-determination and financial and economic prospect. Kosovo is a recent example where the 'denationalisation' described in the paragraph above seems to be inversed. The former Yugoslavian province has become Europe's youngest state, not only chronologically but also demographically. What motivates this young generation to stand in for a nation that has so little to offer to them I will deal with the two sides of nationalism and describe how a moderate sense of nationality radicalised and drove the Balkans into the Kosovo crisis. Despite the negative consequences overreaching nationalism can bring about I will talk about the necessity of national identities and explain why the nation is not an outdated concept. 16 pp. Englisch.…

After an interval of more than two decades I would like to offer a few belated comments on Beardsley's ideas, since it seems to me that characteristic differences between American and German thought on this central issue of aesthetics can be shown by this. 12 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Social System, Social Structure, Class, Social Stratification, Free University of Berlin (European Societies), course: 'And now for something completely different': Sociological Issues in the Works of Monty Python, language: English, abstract: 'There is nothing funny about that' - we often hear people say this when the topic touches on a sensitive issue. Jokes concerning those disabled, sex, race, homosexuality, cultural differences, power, authority, privilege, wealth etc. place many in an uncomfortable position. This is because many of these conversations are only had with people in our own social group. For example, a group of men discussing feminism and why women should or should not have equal pay. However, comedy places us in a unique position. Humour ravels truth in a veil of silliness and delivers it a diverse audience. Thus, humour also gives us an opportunity to mediate and eventually heal deep seated issues in society. I argue that it is possible to use humour to initiate transformative mediation. I use the benign violation theory to argue that the violation present in humour, is a chance to begin having the conversation, 'Why is this topic sensitive and how do we heal wounds as a community ' Lastly, I dissect the Monty Python skit, 'The Village Idiot', to tweeze out the implicit message of social labeling, status, marginalization and the educational system. 16 pp. Englisch.…

With antenna grouping, we can achieve diversity gain through beamforming and spectral efficiency through spatial multiplexing. We will review existing criteria and present several new criteria in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennagrouping systems where the number of transmit antennas is larger than that of receive antennas. Novel low complexity antenna grouping algorithm is also proposed whose BER and computational complexity will be compared with existing criteria. The BER of lower bound of the proposed algorithm will also be derived in independent and identically distributed channels by using the probability density function of the largest eigenvalue of a Wishart matrix. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Huntington draws a future scenario in which China and the United States of America start a disastrous, escalating war. He locates the centre of this world war in the Asian region. Twenty years after the Cold War, it seems to most of us that the relations between the United States, Russia, China and India, to mention the major powers in East Asia, are complex, but quite stable. But, does today's stability ensure tomorrow's peace Or may a so called multipolar order not be dangerous for the world as a whole but for the predictions of a theory like realism And, how can we characterize the international system: multipolar, unipolar, uni-multipolar The first question I want to investigate in this context is if war among the new and old great powers is obsolete or not The second question is related to the first one: What role do the domestic political regimes and institutions play in the rise and perception of these 'new' great powers 20 pp. Englisch.…

There has also been realization by individuals and businesses of the inevitability of delivering value-added services without computerized systems. Despite this awareness and the apparent growing readiness to deploy computer-based systems, there still exists a myriad of perennial challenges inhibiting the implementation of these systems. Using insights from previous studies, the paper sums up the legal issues that have been acknowledged by various scholars as major obstacles to the implementation of CBIS in developing countries. 16 pp. Englisch.…

All these faiths seem to have the same belief in a Messiah who will come for a particular mission later on in the future for the benefit of all humans. They may refer to these messianic figures differently but careful studies have shown that the expected duties are the same in the three Abrahamic faiths. Did you know that the Christians are expecting a Messiah Did you know that the Muslims are expecting a Mahdi Did you know that the Jews are expecting a Mashiach This paper analyses their coming and purposes and shows how they are supposed to meet and agree somewhere while we fight and disagree here.If we can understand and see the commonalities, then there is absolutely no need to promote our differences at the expense of being united.

Burnout is a severe form of stress, i.e. it is the negative side of stress that leads to burnout. Stress is experienced as a restriction of our existence. Stress is also referred to as pressure, tense situations, uneasiness, a negative force which affects an individual, or the body of an individual, or the intellectual capacity of an individual. There is, however, a difference between stress and burnout: stress has both positive and negative outcomes, whereas burnout has only negative outcomes. Stress can be useful or harmful depending on how an individual reacts in stressful situations. Time and again, different concepts of burnout have come into existence. Is burnout thus a trendy term which is used to highlight boredom, depression, extreme stress 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, University of Graz (Amerikanistik), course: Literary Studies Proseminar (American Young Adult Fiction from 1950 to Today), language: English, abstract: This paper is concerned with one of the most preeminent motifs in Suzanne Collins' 'The Hunger Games' trilogy. It poses the question why the use of mass media plays such a dominant role throughout all three novels. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that mass media functions as a powerful tool to control, manipulate, and ultimately, free the population of the fictional state Panem. It will show that mass media is one of the most essential components of the novels that drives the story development and significantly contributes to the storyline's arc of suspense. Also, it will examine the reoccurring symbol of the Mockingjay, and how the main character Katniss Everdeen becomes the figurehead of the revolution. In this paper I am going to prove that this is also a consequence of mass media, which will support my thesis that mass media is the central element of The Hunger Games.'The Hunger Games' introduces the reader to the fictional state Panem that emerged after a disastrous Third World War in which the majority of the earth's population got killed. The remaining survivors founded the state of Panem. Panem consists of the wealthy Capitol and twelve poorer districts ruled by the Capitol. The Capitol is lavishly rich and technologically advanced but the twelve districts are in varying states of poverty. The reader follows the story of sixteen- year-old Katniss Everdeen from District 12.In order to prevent a rebellion against the Capitol the tyrant President Snow annually hosts the so called Hunger Games; an arena fight of life and death, in which every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 of each District must participate. After taking her little sister's place in the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss involuntarily gets in between the ongoing fight for power between President Snow and the rebellious District 13. After winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss becomes a symbol of hope for the oppressed districts and a key figure for the following revolution and the war against Snow and the Capitol. 16 pp. Englisch. …

The disillusionment about development characterized by strong failure of the state (elite capture) and the market (equal distribution) especially in the underdeveloped countries now crystallized alternative development paradigms which favour participatory and people-centered development - Post-development. Alternative methodology (as in participatory), epistemology (as in view of human being and agency), and re-oriented goal (as in respect for differing values and self-reliance) are the approaches that revived this reaction against modernity wherein GDP is no longer seen to be the sole measurement of growth dovetailed by the appropriation of human development as the appropriate measurement. This is the very claim of endogenous development; a repoliticization of development manifested through local mobilization. 16 pp. Englisch. …

After presenting the meaning of the term 'real', the idealistic approach of Kant, Fichte and Schelling will be adduced and its relevance for the contemporary science will be demonstrated. Subsequently the term 'scientific realism' will be introduced together with some ideas proving that it should be considered as idealism sui generis. Then some examples from the history of science will be given proving that many discoveries were preceded by an a priori idea. In the last part of the paper the human I will be depicted as the predominant 'space' of the religious experience. Since a human can discover God within him/herself, s/he is also able to discover God in and within the exterior world. Since, both in science and religion, knowledge and understanding originates from the I, there is no significant difference between scientific and religious approach. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Abraham or Ibrahim, it depends from which perspective we are talking, is considered to be the progenitor of the three so-called Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam. For these great faiths, Abraham was the first human being who worshiped only one God. Jews call this God Yahwe or Elohim, Muslims call him Allah and in Christianity it is God the Father. It is true that these religions differ in their rules and duties but they do have some fundamental commonalities. All three religions are of monotheistic nature and they refer to Abraham as common founding father. Hence, it is not surprising that his figure and story can be found in their Sacred Books.As Prophet Abraham is an identification figure for all three religions, it might be interesting to discuss his role and to explore differences and commonalities of his person and his life in the different books. However, it would be beyond the scope of the following paper to allow a comparison between Prophet Abraham's role in the Tora, in the Qur'an and his role in the Bible. Therefore, this paper is only going to focus on Abraham in the Qur'an, which represents the Islamic point of view and the Bible, which stands for the Christian perspective. 16 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: William Faulkner's short story A Rose for Emily is often regarded as a 'story of horror', with gothic elements due to its creepy and shocking final scene. Moreover, different themes such as the loss of beloved ones, isolation and the refusal to accept change are covered in this story. There is also a variety of popular readings of A Rose for Emily emphasizing 'the conflict between the North and the South' or 'the conflict between individual and the community, between the past and the present, between men and women'. The question is of how the author depicts such complexity of character, emotion and setting Faulkner himself said that 'in a short story [.] almost every word has got to be almost exactly right' (Petry 54). As a result almost every word in a short story has a greater meaning, which is achieved using imagery and symbolism. Imagery is the representation of experiences of the senses, which uses descriptive, but also figurative language, whereas symbolism is used by 'writers to invest objects, actions or ideas with a symbolic meaning'.The symbols convey special meanings to the reader, standing for one single idea or many. This paper will analyze the function and use of imagery and symbolism in A Rose for Emily focusing on the functions of the house, how the picture of Emily is drawn, the function of the town, the characterization of the men in the protagonist s life, then the aspect of time and finally the attempt to analyze the symbol of the rose in the title trying to reveal a much imagery and symbolic meaning as possible. It will be shown, that a Rose for Emily is complex and rich in imagery, symbolism and ambiguity used by Faulkner to characterize people, describe relations and atmosphere. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics - English - Grammar, Style, Working Technique, Misurata University (School of Education), course: English Language Teaching, language: English, abstract: There has been much debate in the last 20 years about the most effective way of acquiring grammatical structures of a second language. The so-called Inductive Approach has benefited students in terms of mastering rules and learning about different structures. In the context of EFL university students in Libya, the so-called Inductive Approach has proved to be successful in making students practice the language inside the classroom, but not outside it. It is clear that students are encouraged to be accurate rather than fluent. My main argument is that the instructions provided by the inductive approach are still not able to reflect effectively the natural learning environment. This might be the result of teaching Grammar outside the context. I will argue for that teaching Grammar through context is quite critical in helping students perform more naturally outside the classroom even though communicative activities are randomly selected. 20 pp. Englisch. …

The teacher should consider at least three 45-minute lessons for this topic. Our task cycle already takes up 90 minutes, so there will be one 45-minute lesson for practicing.

Tarquin commits rape because he wants to sexually conquer Lucrece. Such devices as metaphors of violence and other linguistic devices in the poem are examined for evidence of sexual conquest. The study argues that the kind of language that Tarquin uses reflects his behaviour and actions in significant ways. For example, the language reflects his ideologies and the exercise of power. There are several ways in which the language manifests itself. Examples include figurative language such as imagery and metaphors. The study con-cludes that the structural metaphor of the poem is crucial to the understanding of rape as the worst form of intrusive crime comparable to the incursion of a territory by foreign forces. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, , language: English, abstract: The use of English as a language within the Arab-speaking countries gained significant attraction at the turn of the millennium. In most of the schools and Universities, the official language has been Arabic while English has always been taught as a secondary language or a foreign language. This is mostly true in the gulf countries. Each year, the assessment of English language to various cohorts of students involves a complex social phenomenon that has a very deep impact on both the students and the stakeholders within the education sector. Although most of the students pass these assessment tests in their foundational years, they still fail to cope with the enormous amount of academic requirements within the departments in which they are admitted. This is because of their lower understanding levels of the English Language. The main aim of this chapter is to explore the role played by the education stakeholders, more so focusing on teachers and instructors, in the assessment of the English language in the Arab Gulf countries and the North Africa; specifically in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The chapter examines the beliefs and role of instructors and teachers towards the assessment of the English Language in Saudi Arabia's learning institutions. The assessment is based on two primary research questions: 1. What roles do the teachers and tutors offering English language assessment play in the implementation of practices at the foundation and 2. How do the teachers and instructors perceive English language assessment program The research methodology included the use of both primary data and secondary data. Based on the findings of the study in this chapter, there is a need for further research into the beliefs and practices of teachers in the assessment of specific language skills within the various contexts. The research in this area is found to be very limited. 20 pp. Englisch.…
