Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study aimed to explore the possible relations between cultural attitudes, ethnic boundary markers and ethnic threat perception among Dutch native speakers. Analyses showed that the attitudes of Dutch informants towards their own language, norms and values were positive, whereas tradition and frequency of contact were less important to them. The importance of language and norms and values was also reflected in its positive relation with ethnic threat perception. Finally, the analyses showed that in addition to language, norms and values, morally supporting the host country during international events (i.e. sports or political events) is an important condition to the informants as well when considering whether an immigrant should be accepted as an integrated citizen. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Real estate prices affect the wealth and mindset of all sections of society, from multibillionaire's to the unemployed. Residential real estate prices depend on a large number of demand and supply side factors. This book was written after a thorough qualitative analysis of all these factors affecting the residential property market, particularly in Hong Kong. To understand the impact that different demand and supply side variables have on property prices, an extensive Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression was carried out, and the results are discussed in an uncomplicated manner. The results are not exclusive to Hong Kong, as the findings are suitable to understand real estate in other countries as well. This research has found new factors that were not considered in earlier studies and have a notable impact on property prices. Furthermore, the history and geographic peculiarities of real estate in Hong Kong have been comprehensively explained. While this study engages in many mathematical processes, special efforts have been made to ensure it is an enjoyable read and provides an overall understanding of the residential property market.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -When State welfare proves to be a mere conduit rather than an absolute guarantee for children¿s rights¿ Sweden¿s sound social democratic welfare regime accounts for descent living and rights enjoyed by children. Not discounting the fact that children¿s rights in Sweden score highly to the extent that many rightly contend that Sweden is one of the best places to raise a child, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (2009), UNICEF and Save the Children have continued to urge Sweden to transpose the Convention into Swedish law acknowledging that Sweden adheres to a dualist system. The Government in response has reiterated that she does not see any need at present to transpose the Convention into Swedish law. But why bother with a country having such a strong welfare system But again wait a minute, why would a country be reluctant to consider the gaps in the ¿Transformation¿ process vis-à-vis the benefits of ¿Incorporation ¿ State sovereignty or something else Overall, State welfare is fundamental to championing children¿s rights but does not offer an absolute guarantee. If it did, concern for children¿s rights would be relegated to non-welfare states. Incidentally not!

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Advertising has often been the axis of debates. Opponents associate it with unrestrained materialism and manipulation. These debates alert perception and accommodation to important issues but fail to include those who ultimately serve as the most important arbiter of ethical practices i.e. the consumer. The book is based upon the premise that different people have different levels of approvals or disapprovals towards the ethical issues in advertising subject to their judgments. Hence it provides a new yardstick for the measurement of ethicality in advertising and its effectiveness. The issues covered are misleading aspects of advertising in form of puffery, deception and unfairness, phenomenon of surrogate advertising and regulatory aspects of advertising,etc. An insight has also been provided towards the other ethical issues like vulgarity, subliminal perceptions, stereotypes, etc. The study provides an implication to the advertisers, who are in the business of making profits, and leaving a word of caution for them to re-evaluate their communication strategies to come out with a new equation of advertising maintaining the balance of professionalism and ethics.

The process of the revision of consumer acquis resulted in three proposals on Consumer rights directive: from the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the impact of individual characteristics and cultural values on citizenship performance (CP) in the context of a developing country. Previous studies indicate that many studies have been carried out by selecting only two or three cultural variables and the situation in developing countries is often not clear. The study found that gender and education have significant impact on citizenship performance (CP). While collectivism, future orientation, and uncertainty avoidance are found to be positively related to CP, power distance and masculinity values are negatively correlated with CP. It is also evident that the same cultural value orientation can have both positive and negative impacts on CP, depending on the particular aspect of CP. The findings also reveal that developing countries are not totally different from developed countries as far as the impact of cultural values on CP is concerned. The study contributes to the advancement of CP theories of individual differences and cultural values and the knowledge relevant to developing countries. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -India prides itself in being the world's largest democracy as also for its robust film industry, with Indian films having attained global popularity and at least some of them being internationally acclaimed. However, it is unfortunate that the civil liberties that underlie a democratic system have undergone grave onslaughts time and again, with provincial governments banning films cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification, popularly known as the Censor Board, to appease certain sections of the society for vote-bank politics, though the judiciary has made positive interventions to get these unwarranted bans revoked. The book delves into the freedom of speech and expression as a concept and how it is enshrined in different international conventions as also under the Indian constitution, examines the reasonable restrictions to this right enshrined in these very documents and then looks at the issue of how politicians in India have tried to curb this right, taking in particular the cases of the Hollywood movie The Da Vinci Code and the Bollywood movie Aarakshan. The book suggests some legal and policy reforms to avert this problem for the future. 52 pp. Englisch.
