Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Praktische (Ethik, Ästhetik, Kultur, Natur, Recht, .), Note: 1,7, Universität Potsdam, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Hausarbeit werde ich die Standpunkte der beiden Philosophen, zur Frage ob Tieren Rechte zustehen und wie diese begründet werden können, herausarbeiten. Ich stelle die These auf, dass Tieren aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit Empfindungen zu haben, Rechte zustehen. Hierzu werde ich im Grundlagenteil die beiden philosophischen Strömungen von Regan und Singer betrachten. Die Deontologie fokussiert sich darauf moralische Grundprinzipien zu definieren, welche allgemeine Gültigkeit haben, ganz nach dem Vorbild von Immanuel Kant. Singers utilitaristische Herangehensweise hingen betrachtet die Folgen möglicher Handlungen, welche den größtmöglichen Nutzen für die größtmögliche Anzahl an Individuen fordert. Im zweiten Teil der Grundlagen beschäftige ich mich mit der Frage was Menschen das Privileg der Menschenrechte verleiht, indem ich Regans Theorie der Subjekte-eines-Lebens darstelle. Die Frage nach der Begründung der Menschenrechte führt mich im Hauptteil, zu der Frage, ob die gleiche Begründung auch für Tiere gelten kann. In diesem Zuge vergleiche ich den Standpunkt von Regan mit dem von Singer. Beide kommen zwar zu dem Schluss, dass Tieren Rechte zustehen, jedoch mit einer sehr unterschiedlichen Radikalität. Im zweiten Teil des Hauptteiles beschreibe ich nach Auffassung der beiden Philosophen wie die Implementierung von Tierrechten aussehen könnte und welche Veränderungen dies für den Menschen mit sich bringen würde. In der anschließenden Schlussbetrachtung fasse ich die beiden Theorien, ihre Unterschiede sowie Übereinstimmungen zusammen und bearbeite aufkommende Kritikpunkte. Im letzten Teil gebe zudem meine eigene Einschätzung zum Thema ab, indem ich für die eigene Verantwortung eines jeden Konsumenten plädiere und anrege die grausamen Praktiken der Massentierhaltung nicht weiter zu tolerieren. 24 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Submitted Assignment from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 71, University of East London, course: INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW, language: English, abstract: This essay seeks to examine the impact and application of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) with respect to Article 68, which places significant responsibility on the ICC to protect victims and witnesses. The essay relies on a case study of the collapse of the ICC Kenya cases against President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto and Joseph arap Sang, which were largely attributed to witness interference. The essay argues that while the successful trial of cases at the International Criminal Court relies heavily on the testimony of key witnesses, the Court¿s lack of ability to ensure the safety of the witnesses in accordance with Article 68 of the Roman Statute, remains to be a matter of significant concern in the prosecution of core international crimes. The first part of the essay presents an outline of International Criminal Law from its origins to formation of the International Criminal Court. The essay then moves on to a critical examination of the Rome Statute, with an emphasis on the application of Article 68, based on the ICC framework and jurisprudence. This section emphasizes how crucial witnesses withdrew from the ICC Kenya cases, casting doubts on the Court¿s capability to protect key witnesses. Before concluding, the final section addresses the International Criminal Court¿s shortcomings in enforcing International Criminal Law through witness protection and makes recommendations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Although the literature provides many leadership styles that can be applied to an organization, leadership is generally defined as the 'process of influencing someone or a group of individuals to achieve a particular goal¿ (Alblooshi, 2020) which may spawn innovation. Two of the most discussed leadership styles in the past five years are the transactional and the transformational leadership style. (Kleefstra, 2019) Thus, this term paper will compare the found effects of transformational and transactional leadership styles on EIB. 24 pp. Englisch.

This thesis contributes to our understanding of new leadership techniques in the 21st century.The Changes due to rising Digitalization are immense ¿ for both economic and social perspectives. Digital technologies have profoundly transformed people's daily lives in the last years, especially in organizations. Leadership is needed to introduce change and innovation. Therefore managers are focusing on recreating the structure of a company from old command structures to new ways of leading techniques. In this connection, managers not only need to focus on communication among one another, but they also need to change how organizational members work and collaborate. However, when the leadership style does not align with the digital transformation or when the strategy is ineffective, problems may emerge, which could impact the organization in negative ways. Sooner or later, every company has to adapt to the new industrial revolution. Therefore industry 4.0 came out as a result of digital transformation in the corporate world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,2, Bielefeld University, course: The Gothic, language: English, abstract: In the living years of the author of the short story ¿The Yellow Wallpaper¿, female oppression has always been a great problem. Women were suppressed, treated like an item and had to live under their husband¿s rule. As society became increasingly modernized, women, who suffered from a mental illness were prescribed the rest cure, such as the author of the short story in which she reports her experience of the treatment and thus a woman's place in her society.An interpretation of her story might still be relevant today since gender roles and especially the behavior towards women, remain a widely discussed topic and is not limited to a certain period in time. Therefore, analyzing the short story and the author's attitude towards the medical community of her time will still be worth it.In order to elaborate on how the oppression of females in the 19th Century is represented in 'The Yellow Wallpaper', this paper seeks to analyze the short story from a feminist perspective with a focus on the ways in which gender relations are depicted. Before taking a closer look at the short story, I will shortly examine a woman¿s position in the 19th Century, elaborate methods of the medical community performed on Victorian women and explain the rest cure in more detail. Then I will analyze and explain my interpretation of the short story by focusing on essential parts which chart the progression of the narrator¿s madness and the cause of it. In the end I will apply the discussed gender relations to the short story and I am going to discuss, if the narrator¿s progression of madness, represents her growing rebellion against the prevailing gender relations at that time and whether the used narrative techniques emphasize the visionary break with patriarchy. 24 pp. Englisch.

Besides, Huxley offers a multifaceted language register, which makes the book all the more entertaining. The connection to the realities of life offers potential for discussion, which further enhances the book's appeal to students and teachers, as students can, for example, discuss fears about genetic engineering and engage in debates about the dangers and opportunities of scientific progress in the future. Furthermore, Huxley's work offers a motivational basis for personal statements and reflective discussions about the (un)desirable developments of our time. At the same time, students can reflect on the possibilities and dangers of their future.This teaching unit, which includes a total of 3 double lessons, serves to introduce the book and to get to know the prevailing social system. In addition, it is interesting to find out how the students imagine the future without having been in contact with the book before. Do they also have a rather gloomy and pessimistic vision of the future Or do they see good chances of scientific progress and its impact on humans or even on earth Are there any interfaces that can be further addressed The main topics presented are only a small part of what the book covers. One could also look at the most important characters in class or focus on the Shakespearean references since there are a number of Shakespearean quotations in Brave New World.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

While CALL has been widely acknowledged for its contributions to language education, its relevance to literature teaching remains a subject of debate. Drawing on the conceptualization of innovation by Rogers (2003), we examine how CALL serves as a bridge between technology and the literature classroom. Through a literature review, we explore the existing landscape of CALL studies, emphasizing the gap in literature teaching. The paper then presents an analysis of quiz results, highlighting the effectiveness of CALL in teaching characterization. The findings underscore the potential of CALL in literature education, offering insights for educators and researchers alike.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Anglistik), course: WB Yeats and Symbolism, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with William Butler Yeats as a hybrid poet. He was always conflicted between his enthusiasm for Ireland and his critical attitude towards the violent confrontation. Notwithstanding, Yeats manages in an impressive way to bring out this ambivalence and to draw attention to this bloody event.While the result is a free and independent Ireland, the bloody road to it was painful. 'Easter 1916' is a political poem about sacrifice, change, admiration and immortality. The author wishes to commemorate the admirable sacrifice made by the rebels in 1916 for Irish freedom. Although most of them died, they and their deeds will forever be remembered and passed down through generations, as they are immortal to the Irish. It is not for nothing that Yeats is considered a master of symbolism because the symbols he used in his poems are world-famous.The ideas of his essay 'The Symbolism of Poetry' determined and influenced his poetry, such as 'Easter 1916'. Symbols can have multiple meanings, and thus the mind of the reader is expanded, which is why symbols gain an unlimited influence that goes far beyond the formal nature of their own words. Moreover, 'Easter 1916', in a way, marks his shift from Romantic to Modernist poetry. Although some Romantic elements are present in the poem, he nevertheless deals with contemporary politics that reflects the real world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

First, the theoretical framework will be presented, where important definitions such as English as a lingua franca will be explained. Afterward, the applied chapter will be presented with its learning goals and strategies and a short reference concerning the curriculum will be made.In the analysis, the first chapter of the textbook will be examined and evaluated by applying Syrbe and Roses' research questions as well as the criteria from Galloway and a few other interesting aspects to look at. Finally, a conclusion will be drawn regarding the teaching material and the own future teaching.In this paper, a textbook will be analyzed from an English as a lingua franca-aware perspective. A lingua franca describes a 'contact language, that is, a vehicular language between speakers that do not share a first language', so for example a German and a French agreeing on talking English because the German does not speak French and the other way around. Here it is important to say that this does not only include face to face communication but all types of communication including via the internet and everywhere in the world. 20 pp. Englisch.

Afterwards, in the third chapter, I will analyse in particular the meaning and function of the yew tree monster in the novel 'A Monster Calls' by Patrick Ness, published in 2011. Although the creature¿s monstrosity is a core element of the story, the monster fulfils a role besides creating plain horror and fear. In addition to that, the last chapter will deal with the role of the illustrations within the novel and their effects. Finally, I will summarize the results of my analysis in a short conclusion about the symbolism and the way of portrayal of the yew tree monster in Ness¿ novel. 20 pp. Englisch.

The third chapter constitutes an analysis of Oyler¿s novel 'Fake Accounts', as a recent autofictional novel thematizing common issues such as social media usage of young adults, by analysing the novel in the light of the theoretical framework of affect and unaffectedness. I will briefly take a look at the genre of autofiction and investigate to what extent the inclusion of autobiographical elements poses an important factor in regard to the overall topic and my research question. Moreover, I will determine how identity creation and self-staging is performed by the narrator in 'Fake Accounts' and how real-life social media behaviour on behalf of young generations is mirrored or even criticized.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Review of Business Studies, grade: 1,0, Hamburg School of Business Administration gGmbH, language: English, abstract: Michelin is a well-known French tire manufacturer with a global representation. They produce high-quality tires for various vehicles including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles. Michelin is also known for its Michelin Guide, a rating system for restaurants and hotels. The transition from 'selling tires to selling kilometers' for whole fleets is a strategic move by Michelin to move from selling tires to offering a complete mobility solution. This transition involves customers receiving tires-as-a-service (TaaS), where they pay based on distance driven, rather than buying and servicing tires independently. And while Michelin had a clear first-mover advantage in the industry at the time (2000 ¿ 2003), this service still presented some downsides for Michelin.Another company that has established this system successfully is the aircraft jet manufacturer Rolls-Royce. Under the name ¿TotalCare¿, the price is calculated on a fixed per-flying hour basis. Thus, maintained engines are 'rewarded'. Advantages are waste reduction, efficiency increase, and others.Among other things, Michelin's offer provides advantages such as planning security for the customer in terms of the monthly payment, longer tire mileage, and less impact on the environment. But why was the offer still problematic In this study, the analysis of the case studies and further data and references will address the central question: 'Was this strategy successful, and should it be extended to private customers ' At the same time, an outlook on possible future developments will be given. A short analytical look at the connection to the Car Subscription sector will be taken.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

In a dynamic and complex business world, the demands on leaders are increasing massively. Various studies and models therefore establish the connection between efficient leadership and above-average emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, as defined by Goleman (2004), encompasses five key abilities: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. These qualities lead to better emotional control and, as a result, to better decisions and better performance. Individual emotional intelligence can be improved through various methods such as mindfulness training. This synthesis of relevant sources and literature concludes that fostering and developing emotional intelligence is essential for modern organizations and leaders and makes a significant difference in the quality of output. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, , language: English, abstract: Violent death, encapsulating suicide and homicide, remains a pervasive global concern, spanning a spectrum from individual acts to large-scale atrocities like genocide and war. This paper provides a nuanced examination of violent death's multifaceted dimensions, delving into distinct issues such as suicide in developed industrial societies, the prominence of war in certain regions, and the often overlooked facets of violence affecting both the young and the elderly. In Western post-industrialized countries, violent death, encompassing homicide, suicide, and accidents, stands as a leading cause of mortality among the youth, while domestic violence and professional nursing violence impact the elderly. Despite its omnipresence, there exists a significant dearth of reflective knowledge on violence.This study sheds light on the alarming prevalence of violence in medium-sized towns, exemplified by the downward spiral explored in the Netflix Series 'Flint Town.' The correlation between reduced employment opportunities, relative deprivation, and violent outcomes is examined, emphasizing the societal implications of such trends. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: A-, University College Dublin, language: English, abstract: 'Brands are machines for delivering high quality earnings at high margins' is a claim made by Tim Broadbent in Advertising Works 2000. Strong and well-promoted company labels are visible across the world, influencing consumers and triggering purchasing decisions. Thus, companies and organizations intent to develop positive-perceived brand images to increase their recognition and consequently their revenues and profits.Nevertheless, Tim Broadbent¿s statement neglects disadvantageous brand characteristics and negative features, which cause opposite effects, such as loss in revenue or negative brand recognition. In addition, the statement made in the year 2000 is no longer up-to-date. Disruptive Megatrends, inter alia Digitalization, are shaping the overall business environment and thus changing the opportunities and challenges of brands across industries. Social Media and other forms of 'instant-communication' increase the vulnerability of brands, while automation technologies will possibly impact the brand perception of consumers within a shorter time. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Case Study from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, , language: English, abstract: This study explored suspending classes without suspending learning, a case study on the impact of blended learning in secondary schools. The survey research approach was applied to seek the views and opinions of 20 senior secondary school teachers and 80 senior secondary school III students in Edo State, Nigeria. The questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection which was subjected to construct validity by three experts. The degree of trustworthiness was determined using Cronbach¿s alpha reliability techniques and a reliability value of .80 was obtained. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and z-test statistics.The result shows a significant difference in the responses of teachers and students regarding teachers¿ preparedness to adopt blended learning in secondary schools in Edo State, Nigeria. In addition, the teachers and students adequately defined and measured technology-enhanced blended learning as an instructional strategy that increases and promotes students' academic knowledge and performance in school subjects. Based on these study findings, one could logically conclude that perhaps as students' performance in the senior secondary school external examination continues to leap, the need to examine the challenges and solutions will continue to linger among experts, stakeholders, and concerned citizens. This is because the findings of this study highlighted quality measures that seem to relate to effective teaching and learning in schools in order to reduce the achievement gap among secondary school students in Nigeria. 24 pp. Englisch.

It will consider how male and female students perceive the study of computing besides the strategies that schools and teachers use to teach computing to explore whether and how gender affects computing learning at schools. Also, the recommendations for learning computing regarding gender will be available. Moreover, these recommendations will show how learning computing at schools could be significant to ensure that the computing workforce is sufficient to support the needs of computing industry companies in the world from both females and males who are specialized and professional in computing.Furthermore, the essay will continue to consider the impact of gender on computing as a field of specialization across the wider world. It implies the easy checks of whether sex as one of the protected characteristics impacts learning computing at schools or does not, and if it does not, then what factors impact learning computing at schools regarding females. One of the reasons for thestudy of the impact of gender on learning computing at schools is the Equality Act (2010) of the protectedcharacteristics law that considers gender as one of the nine protected characteristics. 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, course: Literature and Media - On Fantasy Worlds, language: English, abstract: This extract from the last book of the Harry Potter series shows a glimpse into a world which at the beginning seemed inviting and welcoming. J.K. Rowling¿s series of Harry Potter seems centred on the question about Good vs. Evil. It appears as if the lines between Good and Evil are clearly divided. However, with the story carrying on, a society is created which is plagued by prejudices and the discrimination of certain ethnic groups. In the course of the story, the boundaries of Good and Evil expand and the core of the storyline is revealed: The fight against racism. At a deeper look, it can be seen, that the underlying principles guiding the Good and the Evil are fundamentally rooted in issues of race and heritage.By addressing the issue of racism within the fantasy world of magic, it can be argued that Rowling creates a parallel to the real world and its historical context. Through the choice of a fictional universe for the Harry Potter series, Rowling was able to explore the complex and sensitive issue of racism in a way that was approachable for everyone.'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' is the first book whose story line is based on the racist ideology of blood supremacy. Expressions, such as Mudblood, are introduced and the reader receives a general overview over the importance of blood status in the world of magic. Even though magical and mythical creatures and people coexist, it is possible to draw parallels to real-world issues. The Harry Potter series can serve as a mirror reflecting the problem of racism in society. But how is real-world racism depicted in the book 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' And is the depiction successful Due to the scope of the work, only human characters will be focused on and racism towards house elves and other magical creatures will be excluded. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), course: 19th Century Woman Writers, language: English, abstract: The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 engendered an ¿extraordinary rise of northern antislavery and abolition sentiment¿ (Stauffer 2010), in the context of which Uncle Tom¿s Cabin was written. Overall, however, the law only marked one aggravation of the political dispute over slavery, which started in the earliest days of the Republic and culminated in the Civil War of 1861-1865. From the beginning, this conflict had also been fought on theological grounds. At the heart of it lay the question of biblical interpretation, as no definite and common answer with regard to slavery could be discovered in the Scriptures. But since the Bibel was generally perceived as the authoritative revelation of God and therefore penetrated all aspects of American society, it was a fundamental question. At the time when Uncle Tom¿s Cabin was published, those in support of the proslavery scriptural position clearly held the stronger arguments. According to their literal reading, the Bible evidently sanctioned slavery.It was in this context, that Stowe¿s novel Uncle Tom¿s Cabin was published in 1852. It became the second best-selling book of the nineteenth century after the Bible. The effect the novel had was so far-reaching that Abraham Lincoln famously credited it for initiating the Civil War. Molly Oshatz is of the opinion that Stowe became ¿the most persuasive antislavery moderate of all¿ because she ¿avoided biblical argumentation in favour of narrative¿ (2012). What this theory does not take into account is how ¿heavily sermonic, prophetic, and apocalyptic¿ the book as a whole ¿ including the narrative ¿ is (Petter Westra 1994).Stowe did not perceive herself as a writer of literature but rather as a historian, who construed the events of her time in the predetermined history of salvation from the Fall to the Final Judgement. As a sermon delivered to the nation, her book is much more than a mere sentimental novel. It is part of the traditional genre scholars have entitled the ¿American jeremiad¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.7, University of Heidelberg, course: Introduction to Crime Fiction, language: English, abstract: The Golden Age is known as the time between the two world wars. During this time, many crime fiction novels were written by several authors. The Mysterious Affair at Styles 1920 by Agatha Christie is often seen as the first novel of the Golden Age crime fiction and In the Teeth of the Evidence 1939 by Dorothy L. Sayers as the last one. The novels often represent social problems, which sounds controversial to the ¿golden¿ notion.The crime fiction novels published in the Golden Age period have many common features which will be discussed in the following pages. The Golden Age features will be compared to Agatha Christie¿s novel Death on the Nile (1937). There is a lot of research about crime novels during that period but only a few compare the features of the Golden Age to Death on the Nile, which is why I chose this novel for further analysis. Being a huge fan of crime fiction, I wanted to take a closer look at Agatha Christie¿s writing style and see how it fits in the Golden Age period.One feature she followed is that murder becomes the main feature of the stories published in the Golden Age. By the 1920s words like ¿murder¿ or ¿death¿ began to be seen in the title (cf. Knight 2010: 86). Especially Agatha Christie¿s book titles let the readers know what the book will be about before reading the summary on the cover (e.g. Death on the Nile, Death in the Clouds, Mrs. McGinty's Dead, Murder on the Orient Express), along with authors like Dorothy L. Sayers with Murder Must Advertise, Margery Allingham with Death of a Ghost and Ngaio Marsh with Death on Ecstasy.These four British authors - Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, and Ngaio Marsh - were known as ¿The Big Four¿ or ¿The British Quartet¿, but only Agatha Christie achieved the honour of being called the ¿Queen of Crime¿ (cf. Keitel 2008).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: This paper will explore what Sethe's reasons at the time were that she saw no other option than to kill her own children.This question is best answered by first looking at the relationship of the women who live in the house with the number 124. Since the novel is set in 1873, it is incredibly important to deal with the impact that slavery has especially on the female characters. I will then elaborate on the specific reasons that made Sethe kill her children, underpinned by a close analysis of the moment when her owner finds them and Sethe kills Beloved. Was it love, a form of self-protection or was it even an attempt to take possession and exercise power in the context of slavery In the end I will then summarise the main points why Sethe saw no other choice than to kill her own children.Killing her own child is probably the most horrible act a loving mother can imagine. But this is exactly what Sethe, the main character of ¿Beloved¿, written by Toni Morrison in 1987, does. Sethe is a former slave who experiences and survives various acts of physical and psychological violence, all with the hope of being reunited with her children. She eventually manages to escape, while being pregnant with her fourth child, but when her former owner finds her at the home of her mother-in-law, she sees no choice but to kill her children. Sethe carries this trauma silently with her for years, declared an outcast by the community and aware that the ghost of the one girl she really killed, lives with them under the same roof. One day a young woman appears who bears the name of this dead daughter, Beloved. Morrison never really makes clear who this young girl is but and it is implied that this Beloved is the reincarnation of the daughter Sethe killed. Gradually, the two develop a dangerous obsession with each other, rooted in the horrific act, which can only be ended by an exorcism. It is often debated if Sethe's decision was correct, but the aim of this essay is not to examine whether she had the right to do it or not, as the characters in the novel already do that by showing different reactions to Sethe¿s infanticide. It is also not up to the reader to judge a former slave, as the novel sends a far more important message: not to forget the terrible things slavery did to people. This paper will explore what Sethe's reasons at the time were that she saw no other option than to kill her own children. 20 pp. Englisch.
