Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,5, London School of Economics (European Institute), course: MPhil/PhD Programme, language: English, abstract: This paper assesses the dynamics of EU-IMF interaction over the course of European monetary unification. Thereby, it adds to a growing body of literature on the external dimension of EU policy-making. To illustrate how EU-IMF relations have changed over the last 20 years, the paper first finds that member states remain the primary, but not the only actors. Second, it provides a descriptive account of EU-IMF relations in the observed period, both in its institutional and functional dimension. Its main finding is that institutional and functional interaction have not developed in parallel, i.e. that the increase in day-to-day engagement between the IMF and the EU through the activities of surveillance, lending and technical assistance, in particular as a result of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, has not corresponded to formalization of EU-Fund relations.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 44 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 16, University of Aberdeen, language: English, abstract: The ideology of today's parties on the extreme right of the political spectrum is often alsopromulgated'neo-fascism' to exhibit an affiliation to the fascist parties of the inter-war period. Whether this label is appropriate or fails to read the new extreme right's political agenda will be examined by this paper. In order to do so, it will first clarify who we address when speaking about the term 'fascism', then it will point out the defining characteristics of the fascist ideology in order to compare it finally with the set of ideas of the new extreme right. First of all one needs to illuminate the terms 'fascism' and the 'new extreme right'. The first one always refers to Italian fascism under Benito Mussolini between 1922 to 1943 and, although lightly different, the German nationalsocialist model, developed and carried out by Adolf Hitler and th Nationalsocialist German Worker's Party. Moreover there were several other fascist parties in Europe throughout the inter-war period, namely Heimwehr (also: Austro Fascists) or the Union Movement in Britain, but many more as well, which however, could never gain as much influence as the preceding examples.

Nowadays, more retailing firms further expand their retailing scope and confront with development of retail globalisation. A lot of global and globalising retail firms are much timid to face the challenge then those faced by other firms in different industries. Innovations as the responsive to the characteristics of particular national market and comprehensive aggregations of markets such as mature market and less developed market are important to the achievement of global and globalising retailers. Under this background, this literature view focuses on the topics of the retail innovation in globalisation environment, in order to determine the challenges and opportunities that the retail firms faced if they want to become Global Company, how the challenges could be transformed into opportunities with retailing innovations and where innovation is necessary to overcome particularly mature market and less developed market.¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

The rock salt halite is white and normally in thin sections are no crystal boundaries observable, because of the cubic crystal structure and its optical isotropy. To make even the sub grain boundaries visible, the sample has to prepared in a special way, where the crystals appear blue and the boundaries white.For the Subgrain Size Piezometric we uploaded first a picture 430.9-1, which we took as an example, in the program ¿ImageJ¿ and changed the type to 8-bit. The next step is adjusting the threshold. The program allows an automatically threshold, but for a better analysis it does be done manually. Figure 1 shows the converted image. Other programs for example MATLAB or ArcGIS can be used as well. [.]Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - Political Sociology, Majorities, Minorities, grade: 2, University of Tubingen, course: Comparative Research, language: English, abstract: In this paper Esping-Andersen¿s ¿The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism¿ will be illustrated followed by an discussion which is concerned with an empirical critique that refers to the number of welfare-state regimes Esping-Andersen suggests.Since the end of the 20th century, welfare states emerged in every industrialized society to protect its citizens against certain risks and disadvantages. The national differences of these social protection systems are admittedly considerable. This diversity has been ever since an issue for historical and social science and poses challenging questions: What are the differences of the different nation systems Where do they come from ¿ do they exist due to political, cultural or economic reasons In 1990 Gøsta Esping-Andersen published ¿The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism¿ which became a milestone concerning the field of comparative welfare state research. Since the The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism was published, it is extremely difficult to find even one article on welfare states in which Esping-Andersen¿s approach is not at least mentioned. Reams of reviews, articles, critiques and additions were composed. An issue that is discussed ever since and which is still a topic of controversial debates is the number of regime types which should be distinguished. As the title already shows, Esping-Andersen suggests three distinctive welfare-types, but his empirical argumentation in particular caused a debate concerning the actual number of types.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: A, University of Massachusetts Boston, language: English, abstract: This paper aimed at reviewing some retail marketing theories and evaluating its applicability in increasingly narrowing contexts of fashion and fast fashion sectors.Retail marketing theories focus on attracting customers to different store forms and online sales. The retail mix should be the most suitable one to attract maximum customers to enhance revenue for the firm.Attracting customers involve efficient customer relationship management to win their trust and loyalty. Companies adopt several methods for this. In online marketing introduction and enhancement of virtual shopping experience will be useful.Success of retailing depends on service quality which makes customers satisfied. Repeated satisfaction will build loyalty to the firm. This is the aim of all firms. Frequent measurements and monitoring of service quality and customer satisfaction can lead to increasing loyal customers.Fashion is not a necessity. Its customers are fashion-conscious young generation of modern lifestyles. To be successful, firms need to understand changing fashion tastes and shopping behaviour of customers. Firms use many methods for this.Fast fashion involves rapid replacement of limited stocks with fresh fashions. The limited stocks are sold out fast resulting in large number of customers going away with unsatisfied demand. This is expected to trigger repeated visits. Unless repeated visits occur in large numbers, fast fashion will fail. Fat fashion firms can use retail marketing theories to achieve this.Zara is used as a real life example to demonstrate how retail marketing theories can be adapted to the context of fast fashion. Zaräs online sale has not picked up well. Zara needs to be cautious in its store formats to ensure that customers do not go away permanently due to inconvenient formats and layouts. Monitoring customer visits and their conversion into purchases is essential to detect any sign of this at the earliest.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

While in the far away continent of Europe the news and the panic which got along with them, spread like wildfire, the Japanese nation run through a troubled phase of confusion and disinformation in a calm way. The two main actors of this play were and are the government ( Prime Minister Naoto Kan1 and his staff) and the responsible company TEPCO2 (abbreviation for: Tokyo Electric Power Company). Rather then learning by experience of nuclear incidents before, the whole political system made some drastic mistakes. I will attempt to investigate the main points and compare them with the best-known case of political failure ¿ Chernobyl. Subsequently, there will be a view on the aftermaths in the nuclear policy worldwide, caused by the complex of themes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,7, University of Bremen (Institut für historische Publizistik, Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft), course: Transcultural Communication, language: English, abstract: Everyone who is familiar with the current television landscape can probably name at least one or two TV programs of which they know there are other versions of the same programs broadcasted in other regions of the world. To name only a few, there are quiz and game shows, such as Who Wants to Be a Millionare or Wheel of Fortune, reality shows, such as Big Brother or The Bachelor, but also drama programs, such as Coronation Street or The Restless Years. Different versions of the same program often show striking similarities in their basic structure, they might have similar narratives and characters, or even convey the same values; yet they have a local coloring from the region where they are produced through local participants or actors, plotlines based on local problems or local cultural references. This is caused by the fact that the different versions of one program stem from the same format that originated in one cultural environment, was taken over into other regions and adapted to the local backgrounds. This process of deterritoralizing TV formats by using a foreign format and producing a local version of it is called transnational TV format adaptation.The reason why there is an increase in transnational format adaptations and why consumers are aware of that is because of the continuing globalization of media communication, meaning the advanced exchange of products, practices and ideas through progressive technology (Hepp 2006: 9f.). While being a result of globalization, however, format adaptations are produced in local contexts ¿integrating ¿local¿ content in various ways¿ (Machin/Leeuwen 2007: 1f.). By combining parts of different cultures they are neither completely global nor local products but rather examples a transnational media landscape (cf. Jensen 2007: 5, 13). Although ¿the prac-tice is not new and can be traced back to the radiö, research focused more on transnational program sales or co-productions, and format adaptation has only come to the center of atten-tion in research in the past 15 years (see Moran 1998, Moran/Malbon 2006, Jensen 2007).This is why this topic has aroused my interest and will be the topic of this paper.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, Lund University (Cultural science), language: English, abstract: This is primarily the story about the Norwegian ship Constantin which was caught up in an international network of trade with migrant Chinese workers known as coolies. Constantin belonged to a partnership of owners (partsrederi), a kind of ownership that was common in Norwegian shipping as far as sailing vessels were concerned. Part-owners in Constantin were Jens Amundsen (father of the famous polar explorer Roald Amundsen)and two of his brothers who each owned 1/6 of the ship, while P. Anker in Fredrikshald had a smaller part, but he was the managing owner (¿korresponderende reder¿). There were also other part owners. In 1866 Constantin sailed from Macao to Havana in 103 days with 295 Chinese ¿coolies¿. 16 of them died during the passage which the captain considered fortunate because he thought it was a moderate number. Initially Constantin¿s captain referred to them as ¿passengers¿ when he sent a letter informing the managing owner about the matter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,00, University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract:A field of study, or generally of interest, does by no means simply consist of one or two basic components and then form a large, complex construction; on the contrary: many varieties, shapes and forms are needed for any such system to function and to be fully appreciated. A very wide variety of specific requirements, ideas, theories, views etc. have always assisted and also guided the human race in its seemingly never ending thirst for power, wisdom, and above all knowledge. The simple fact of being able to read these lines is an example of such progressive steps, as is being able to interpret a painting or a creative form of architecture. One thing most people probably would not question further, since everyone is capable of it at the age of three or four, is the concept of speech. One learns at home and in school, and that is that, to put it rather bluntly. However, in time one will notice that not every person in fact uses the same capacity of speech as another person might do. This of course must not be misunderstood on a global scale, since of course there are so many different languages throughout the world. This is only meant for a certain language, in this case English. Not every English speaking person will know what it means when someone ¿kicked the bucket¿ or ¿bought the farm¿. Did he or she really kick a bucket, or buy a farm Of course not. But that is precisely the point. There are certain elements within the structure of a language that cannot be easily determined, certain phrases, words and especially the meanings behind such phrases or words. This particular field of study, or as Rosemarie Gläser refers to it, ¿a sub discipline of the linguistic system¿ as ¿an expanding field of research¿ (Cowie 1998: 125), contains many interesting single topics. Only defining a phraseological unit as ¿a lexicalized reproducible bilexemic or polylexemic word group in common use¿ (1998: 125) does in fact make one have a certain feeling of confusion. This definition is not exactly helpful or overall understandable. Yet when dealing with English phraseology from a functional, stylistic or a cognitive approach, many more interesting and exciting aspects appear.This paper however will deal with a different point of view on the subject. It is rather unique and can be used for practically any subject or topic one chooses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

In order to structure the research, the following research questions were developed:¿ Which activities are covered by RL and what differentiates it from forward logistics (FL) ¿ What are the drivers and benefits for companies implementing RL operations ¿ What are the impacts of RL on the SC and how does it contribute to green the SC The motivation for conducting this research has several origins. Firstly, the research on RL is limited. Secondly, businesses are increasingly confronted with a throw-away mentality of the society. This makes a modification in the behaviour towards the environment necessary (Cherrett et al. 2012).In order to study the development and impact of RL, this assignment reviews a large variety of literature mainly in different trade publications, journals and books.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: A, The University of Chicago, language: English, abstract: In the recent past Telework which is a flexible way of working has attracted a huge deal of discussion because of its complex implications on people organizations as well as the society to be able to work at anyplace and at any time. Though, at the moment is no a common accepted description for telework, (Hartig, 2007). O¿Mahony & Barley (1999) describe telework as a working by the use of information and communication technologies to facilitate employees and their managers to access their work from distant locations. Though there has been a substantial increase of teleworkers starting from the 1990s, the dispersion of telework has not developed as it was expected. This is unexpected since latest advancement in ICT has considerable decrease the management and coordination expenses that are related with the geographic dispersion of the workforce¿s position. Several experts assert that adopting telework is directed by others factors and that are not necessarily technological. While other experts like O¿Mahony & Barley (1999 suggest that when analyzing telework, cultural social and even political actors should not be ignored. Hartig (2007) established that worker independence was more crucial compared to technological factor to successful implement telework. This research paper seeks to find study teleworking and its effectiveness on Work-Life Balance among employees in an organization. The research paper will review past studies carried out on this subject into order to answer the subject.A number of recent tendencies in the recent past have focused extra attention on teleworking. One, there is an increasing trend of achieving an improved work-life balance from teleworking (e.g. Hartig, 2007), Golden et al (2006) general the possibility of achieving improved work-life balance in all regions may not be realized soon Hartig, 2007). Two, there is growing evidence that offering telework results in improved performance of the organization and the teleworker, and it also reduces cases of absenteeism (Stavrou 2005). At the same time is possible that teleworking could help in countries with labor shortage by enabling more women who have younger children to get back to the labor market and be employed as teleworker.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Today, two of the most renowned factor models to estimate expected returns of an asset or a firm are the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), introduced by Treynor (1962), Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965) and Mossin (1966), and the three-factor model of Fama and French of 1992 (Bartholdy and Peare 2004, p.408). While the CAPM claims the existence of a positive linear relationship between the volatility/risk (market beta) and expected returns (Bali and Cakici 2004, p.57), Fama and French state that their three-factor model (3FM) has an improved performance in estimating returns as ¿ so they claim ¿ size and book-to-market equity have significant predictive power, too (Fama and French 1992, p.427).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Project Report from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, , language: English, abstract: This book reports on a research project which was carried out between 2002 and 2013. The focus of the research was the Office for Standards in Education, Children¿s Services and Skills (Ofsted) and its education and training and development programmes for inspectors.Claims and disputes: The Office for Standards in Education, Children¿s Services and Skills (Ofsted) defines itself as the statutory watchdog for the preservation and management of the standard of education in England. And by its own accounts, Ofsted has claimed, firstly, that it is the promoter and upholder high standard of educational achievements, secondly, that it is the bulwark against ¿weak teaching¿ and weak leadership, management and governance, and, thirdly, that it is the champion and protector of the interests of the constituents of education in England (Ofsted 2012: 4).This research does not dispute the fact that the above claims came with the provisions of the Education (schools) Act (1992) and the Education and Inspection Act (2006) and that the Act delegated the statutory duties to inspect, evaluate and judge and report on the standard of education in England to Ofsted. Instead the research is disputing Ofsted¿s claims as follows: firstly, the research disputes the extent to which Ofsted has achieved the statutory duties delegated to it under the provisions of the 1992 and 2006 Acts. And, secondly, the research is questioning whether in its current structure Ofsted is fit for purpose and whether Ofsted and a significant proportion of its inspectors have the operational and intellectual capabilities to continue to inspect specific educational remits, and to evaluate and judge and report on the standard of education in England.Thus the research has advanced the following arguments against Ofsted¿s and its inspectors¿ capabilities and fitness for purpose: the first argument is that there are incompetent inspectors within the ranks of Ofsted inspectors. The research has found that 30% of practicing Ofsted inspectors do not have the skills and competencies required to successfully achieve Ofsted¿s performance criteria for inspectors, particularly in the collection, analysis, evaluation, assessment and interpretation of evidence in the three principal aspects of Ofsted¿s judgements. The three aspects in question are ¿Outcomes for Learners, Teaching, Learning and Assessment¿ and ¿Leadership and Management¿.The second argument is that there.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 468 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Thèse de Bachelor de l¿année 2013 dans le domaine Philologie française - Autres, note: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, langue: Français, résumé: La laïcité ¿ vivement discutée en France depuis toujours et cependant rarement connue dans d¿autres pays. La République française et la Turquie sont les seuls pays ayant établi une telle loi dans leurs constitutions, qui tient globalement à séparer le pouvoir étatique de celui de l¿Église. Les points de vue en ce qui concerne la question si pour la France cette valeur est seulement un principe juridique parmi d¿autres ou même un concept philosophique divergent. Ce point ne fait pas toujours l¿unanimité. Pourtant il est évident et certain qüelle joue un grand rôle en France, dès sa première apparition. La laïcité française est fruit d¿un long processus qui n¿a pas toujours été pacifique.Dans ma thèse je chercherai à démontrer dans la première partie les réponses sur la question comment la laïcité s¿est développée en France, quelles étaient les étapes historiques et les évènements et verdicts essentiels pour que la loi de 1905 ait pu enfin s¿ancrer dans la constitution française. Avec le vote de la loi qui devait mettre fin aux discussions incessantes, l¿évolution était loin d¿être finie. En dépit d¿ancrage de la loi après une histoire compliquée et violente la France se voyait toujours confrontée à des nouveaux problèmes. Mais c¿est principalement l¿apparition de la religion musulmane et ses effets secondaires qui créa de nouveau des vives tensions au c¿ur du débat sur la laïcité.Dans la deuxième partie j¿exposerai de quelle manière le principe sacré se sentait menacé par l¿émergence de l¿islam, quelles étaient les conséquences tirées par l¿Etat français pour trouver des compromis mais aussi pour sauvegarder la neutralité envers de toute forme de religion. Les renversements qui suivaient et qui cherchaient à niveler les religions, étaient à la fin surtout au détriment des partisans musulmans. Malgré tout, la situation juridique concernant la liberté de culte n¿est toujours pas claire. Le débat sur le système laïc de l¿Hexagone est aujourd¿hui d¿une actualité brûlante.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 40 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Interkulturelle Pädagogik, Note: 2.0, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bildung dient sowohl der Entfaltung des inneren Menschseins und der eigenen Individualität, als auch zur gesellschaftlichen Nützlichkeit. Oftmals werden Bildungsinhalte in einen gesellschaftlichen Kontext gerückt, so dass diese wiederum zunächst zur Erziehung werden. Bildung ist demnach eine spezielle Erziehung bestimmter Fähigkeiten.Ziel der Erziehung ist es, Menschen ihren Platz in einer Gesellschaft zuzuweisen. Es gibt drei Arten von Erziehung, die Erziehung des Körpers, des Verstandes und der Seele. Im Islam ist die Bildung eine allgemein menschliche Erziehung, der Koran und die Aussprüche des Propheten Muhammad, die Gebote und Verbote, dienen als Maßstab der Erziehung. Entscheidungsfreiheit und Verwirklichungsfreiheit gehören zu den wesentlichen Erziehungsfaktoren des Islam. Das Erziehungs- und Bildungssystem eines Landes ist maßgebend als direkte Grundlage für den Aufbau der kommenden Generationen. Diese Arbeit führt die historische Entwicklung der Erziehung und Bildung in Iran unter Berücksichtigung lediglich für die Erziehung und Bildung relevanten politischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Ereignisse seit dem 19.Jahhundert auf.Inhalt:Einleitung1.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 1986 im Fachbereich VWL - Geldtheorie, Geldpolitik, Note: 1,0, Comenius-Gymnasium Deggendorf, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Darstellung beginnt bei den klassischen Nationalökonomen und endet im Jahre 1986.Die klassischen Nationalökonomen waren im Glauben befangen, das Geld besitze keinen realwirtschaftlichen Einfluss. Hierauf erfolgte der Pendelausschlag in die entgegengesetzte Richtung. Man glaubte nun, in der Geldpolitik das Allheilmittel gegen jegliche ¿Konjunkturbeulen¿ gefunden zu haben.Keynes war es, der es durch eine ganz Reihe von Prämissen schaffte, ein neues Modell zu formulieren, das den entscheidenden wirtschaftstheoretischen Einfluss auf die nächsten Jahrzehnte ausüben sollte. Fortan wurde geldpolitisches Handeln als unfähig betrachtet, konjunkturelle Schwankungen zu beheben, vielmehr sollte eine antizyklische Fiskalpolitik, die Volkswirtschaft vor jeglicher Unwucht bewahrenSeine geistigen Erben beschworen durch eine inflationsfördernde Geldpolitik eine Opposition herauf. Und so schickte sich die Gegenbewegung, der Monetarismus, Ende der 60er Jahre an, zur neuen bestimmenden Größe zu werden. Eine angebotsorientierte auf die Steuerung des Geldmengenwachstums gerichtete Geldpolitik mittels offenmarktpolitischer Feinsteuerung und freie wirtschaftliche Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten ohne die Bevormundung des Staates wurden angestrebt.Die Bundesbank schlug als erste Notenbank der Welt ab Ende 1974 diesen Kurs ein und bindet sich seither an ein jährlich im Voraus deklariertes Geldmengenziels. Der indirekte nachfrageorientierte Steuerungsansatz traditioneller Liquiditäts- und Zinspolitik bleibt dennoch erhalten. Gleichfalls ist die Bundesbank auch weiterhin der Überzeugung, dass Geldpolitik das ganze wirtschaftliche Spektrum und nicht nur den Teilbereich, Geldmenge, zu berücksichtigen hat, auch Zahlungsbilanz und Wechselkurse. Die Bundesbank stellt sich gegen Vorschläge einer längerfristigen Festschreibung des Geldmengenziels, um genügend wirtschaftspolitischen Handlungsspielraum zu haben und durch ein potentialorientiertes Geldmengenziel eine stetige und inflationsfreie Wirtschaftsentwicklung zu gewährleisten. Das Geldmengenziel bleibt Zwischenziel und wird nicht Endziel.Die Bundesbank hat sich nicht überzogenen Hoffnungen dogmatischer Monetaristen hingegeben, eine angemessene Geldmengenentwicklung könne alle Probleme lösen, vielmehr bemüht sie sich mit zunehmenden Erfolg einen pragmatischen Mittelweg zu gehen, der die Summe der geldpolitischen Erfahrungen der letzten 80 Jahre in sich zu vereinen sucht.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Mittel- und Südamerika, Note: 1,7, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Veranstaltung: Das politische System Brasiliens, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Immer noch ist die Lage der Menschenrechte und Rechtsstaatlichkeit in Brasilien verheerend: Das Vorgehen der Polizei ist brutal und oft rücksichtslos, Folter dient als Ermittlungsmethode, die Haftbedingungen sind desolat, die Rechte von Landarbeitern und Indios werden mit Füßen getreten. Die Justiz gilt als korruptionsanfällig, ineffizient, für sozial schwache Gesellschaftsschichten schwer zugänglich und gegenüber den Mächtigen der Gesellschaft allzu nachsichtig. Kurzum: Die Ansprüche eines Rechtsstaates werden in Brasilien ganz und gar nicht erfüllt, auch wenn die heute geltende Verfassung von 1988 formal als eine der fortschrittlichsten der Welt gilt. Diese Arbeit geht der Frage nach, warum der Rechtsstaat in Brasilien nicht funktioniert und fokussiert exemplarisch das Problem der Straflosigkeit vor der Justiz. Abschließend geht diese Arbeit auf innovative Ansätze ein, die für die Lösung der vielen Probleme entworfen worden sind.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Deutsch.

Neuware -Essay aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 2.3, Technische Universität Dresden (Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Einführung in das Studium der politischen Systeme, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das vorliegende Essay dient als Beispiel für die geforderte Teilleistung im Proseminar 'Politische Systeme'. 'Hatte Platon Recht Vielleicht Ja, vielleicht Nein. Vielleicht erkenne ich mit meinem begrenzten philosophischen ¿ soziologischen Wissen nicht den Kern des Problems. Aber nicht wichtig ist, was man weiß, sondern nur, wen man kennt bzw. welche richtige Seite man im richtigen Buch aufschlägt. Durch einen gütlichen Zufall fiel mir kürzlich ein Briefwechsel zwischen zwei guten Freunden in die Hände. Der eine ein betagter Gelehrter, ein Politikwissenschaftler und in allen Hörsälen zu Hause. Doch da steht er nun der arme Tor und weiß mit seinem Wissen nicht wohin. Sein langjähriger Freund, ein Staatsmann höchster Couleur, der ermüdet der täglichen Kämpfe, nun auf seine alten Tage ein neues, ruhigeres Betätigungsfeld sucht. Deshalb zitiere ich nun einige Briefe aus dem umfangreichen Schriftwerk der beiden Persönlichkeiten.'Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 12 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Universität Bayreuth, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Prinzip der Heldenreise kommt seit der griechischen Mythologie in Erzählungen vor und ist spätestens durch die Filme der amerikanischen Walt Disney Company ein wichtiger Teil der modernen Narration von Geschichten. Eine Heldenfigur begibt sich auf eine Reise um seine Ziele zu erreichen, seine Bestimmung zu erfüllen und über sich hinauszuwachsen. Ob bewusst realisiert oder nur unbewusst gesehen, die Reise eines oder mehrerer Helden haben die meisten Menschen heutzutage schon des Öfteren verfolgen können. Man kann sogar einen Schritt weiter gehen und behaupten, dass besagtes Schema auf einen großen Teil der bis heute produzierten Kino- und Fernsehfilme anwendbar ist. Einige Werke werden bei näherer Betrachtung die grundlegenden Eigenschaften der Heldenreise leichter erkennen lassen als andere, aber eine Annäherung an einen diesbezüglichen Leitfaden ist bei den meisten zu beobachten. Der Autor Christopher Vogler beschreibt die Reise des Helden als Basis, die nahezu allen Geschichten zugrunde liegt.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Deutsch.
