Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: American Literary History, language: English, abstract: Harriet Jacobs 'Incidents in the life of a slave girl' was published in 1861. Harriet Jacobs tells us her story from her perspective as somebody born as a slave. 'The pseudonymous narrator, Linda Brent, is caught between the brutal, exploitative bonds of slavery and the idealized, altruistic bonds of true womanhood.' (Sherman, 167). Harriet Jacobs was 'the first American woman known to have authored a slave narrative in the United States [.].' (Jacobs, 804). Through Harriet Jacob's story one can gain a deep insight into the hard life and into the soul and feelings of Harriet Jacobs as Linda Brent. One can learn a lot about courage, bravery, willpower and determination - briefly speaking: about a strong girl/woman who never gave up.

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universität Zürich (Deutsches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Modul: 107b Aufbaumodul A NDL, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Dreiecksbeziehung zwischen den drei Hauptfiguren Johannes Kreisler, Prinzessin Hedwiga und Julia Benzon in E.T.A. Hoffmanns satirischem Roman 'Lebensansichten des Katers Murr'. E.T.A. Hoffmann (24. Januar 1776 - 25. Juni 1822) wird der Spätromantik zugerechnet und er war nicht nur Dichter, sondern auch Theaterdirigent, Komponist, Bühnenarchitekt und Maler, nebst seiner hauptberuflichen Tätigkeit, als Jurist und Beamter. Sein Werk 'Lebensansichten des Katers Murr' ist zugleich Bildungs-, Künstler-, Gesellschafts- und Entwicklungsroman, es ist sowohl Biographie als auch Autobiographie. Ferner besitzt es satirische, ironische und parodierende Elemente. Auf diese Weise hat E.T.A. Hoffmann die Intention der Romantiker, die literarischen Gattungen zu verschmelzen, und sich, über die Grenzen der Norm der Schreibtraditionen, hinweg zu setzen, mit eifrigem Bemühen verfolgt; insbesondere bei diesem Werk ist dies ersichtlich, und mittels diesem hat E.T.A. Hoffmann unzweifelhaft einen Höhepunkt der deutschsprachigen Literatur kreiert. 'Lebensansichten des Katers Murr' enthält zwei Geschichten, welche von einander getrennt und dennoch verwoben sind: In der ersten wird die traditionelle Tierdichtung fortgesetzt und sie enthält sehr viel Parodierendes, während die zweite Geschichte düsterer und unheimlicher ist, und als zentrales Thema die Liebe zwischen drei Personen innehat, auf welches dieser Aufsatz sich fokussiert. Bezüglich des Forschungsstands kann man sagen, dass dieses Werk in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur reichlich Beachtung fand, und Sekundärliteratur darüber reichlich vorhanden ist. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist ein Versuch, die Dreicksbeziehung von Kreisler, Julia und Hedwiga, auch unter Blickwinkeln zu interpretieren, die bisher nicht, oder nicht ausführlich beachtet wurden. Dies soll unter anderem mit mehr oder weniger konsistenten Interpretationen durchgeführt werden, einige davon sind auch sehr wage gestaltet, jedoch werden sie durch Ex- und Diskurse in einen nachvollziehbaren Kontext gestellt. Um den Rahmen nicht zu sprengen und den Umfang in Grenzen zu halten, werden nur einige der wichtigsten Szenen angeführt. [.] 20 pp. Deutsch.

In February 1954, ¿The Economist¿ invented a new word - ¿Butskellism¿. The magazine thought that the policies of the Exchequer of the day, the Conservative R.A. Butler, were so similar to those of his Labour predecessor, Hugh Gaitskell, that they had been devised by a ¿Mr. Butskell¿ (Boxer 2010,38). This statement shows that even the people at the time thought of a consensus in British politics. [.]BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1,5, University of Warwick, language: English, abstract: Drought and desertification threaten the livelihood of more than 1.2 billion peopleacross 110 countries. Around 2 billion people live in ¿dry-lands¿, which occupy around40 per cent of the earth¿s land surface, while 90 per cent of the people who live indrylands are from DC (Kingsbury et al. 2012,314). Drought and desertification effectstrongly the development of a country. The town Baga in Nigeria, was once afisherman¿s village. It was at the coast of the Tschad lake, now it is more than 30kmaway from the lake. The increasing desertification of the region at Tschad lake drove thecity to become agriculturally centred, the outcome of desertification for the localpopulation is significant.This essay argues for a strong impact of ¿environmental¿ problems like desertificationand deforestation on the development of a country. This essay wants to highlight theimportance of these problems for development science. The key argument of this essayis the reciprocal influence between development and environmental problems.Development often generates environmental problems, which in turn aggravates futuredevelopment.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Søren Clausen discussed the term in regard to China in his paper, Early Modern China ¿ A Preliminary Postmortem. For Clausen, the search for a terminology describing an ¿early modern Chinä emerged from the urge to incorporate China into a world history, whose importance he stresses in his introductory sentence: ¿A world that is increasingly becoming ¿one world¿ needs a world history¿ . What he also did was to recap the influence other historians had on the discussion during the 1980s and 90s, which are partially also addressed in the paper.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 12 pp. Englisch.

Theories of critical and sensitive periods during the learning process will be examined in order to emphasize that age has an important impact on effective SLA. Afterwards, specific differences in child and adult SLA will be taken into consideration; how do children acquire a second language and how is it different from the acquisition of an old- er person By answering these questions differentiated it might be possible to come to a conclusion whether children or adults are better second language learners.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Swansea University (Department of English Language and Literature), course: Uncanny Places: Gender and the Fantastic, language: English, abstract: Doubling is the ¿appearance of persons who have to be regarded as identical because they look alike¿ (Freud, 2003: 14) and, according to Freud, this can create an uncanny effect because ¿we are faced with the reality of something that we have until now considered imaginary¿ (Freud, 2003: 150). However, the trope of the double has far more potential than just sending shivers down our spines; its appearance might indeed raise, and confront us with, important questions concerning our own identity and subjectivity. I would like to exemplify this by comparing the importance of doppelgänger figures in Daphne du Maurier¿s Rebecca and Angela Carter¿s The Magic Toyshop in relation to gender identity and would like to investigate, in particular, how the trope of the double/phantom might call into question gender role expectations, shed light on their constructedness, and ultimately play an important role in overcoming social and sexual limitations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 12 pp. Englisch.

This is a qualitative study, designed to reveal the perspective and opinions of teachers and Co-ordinators related to G & T, and to expose significant areas for further research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ), course: PhD Project Management, language: English, abstract: The origins of aggression dominate psychological debate. Psychologists are divided on what really is the cause of aggression in human behavior. This has evoked the inconclusive nature v nurture debate on the origins of aggression. The psycho dynamic theory is a psychological theory Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and his later followers applied to trace and explain the origins of aggression. Sigmund Freud¿s psycho dynamic theory is founded on the assumption that human behavior is propelled by thoughts and feelings that lie in our sub conscious mind . Aggression refers to action or behavior intended to cause harm to a person toward whom it is directed . Thus aggression manifests itself in varied forms which can be verbal attacks, violent acts and threats to unleash destruction . However, the psycho dynamic theory has been criticized for over emphasis on innate personality at the exclusion of external effects in an individual¿s environment which may predispose them to aggressive behavior. This paper analyses Sigmund Freud¿s psycho dynamic theory in explaining the origins of aggression. The paper further argues that the psycho dynamic theory has its own inherent shortcomings when it comes to explaining the origins of aggression. A wholesome explanation of the origins of aggression can be achieved if theories such as the externally stimulated aggression and learned aggression theory are also considered as they offer complementary alternative aggression explanations.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

It highlights the problem of measuring size of power and suggests realist solutions. The essay also notes the inner upheavals of realism, particularly the regulatory requirements without which medium forces cannot operate. The debate takes an evolutionary path. Therefore, it sometimes follows a narrative approach. It emphasizes the mile stones of Westphalian adjustments and highlights the importance of legal formulations. Finally, it criticizes potential candidates and argues the trends in current debates.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Semiotik, Pragmatik, Semantik, Note: 2,3, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 'Es geht nicht um dieses Kind, sondern es geht um diese ungeheure Werbekampagne für das Bild der kleinen Maddie. Das ist beispiellos, und wir hatten die Befürchtung, dass irgendein Discounter sich denkt, das ist eine gute Marke und so eine geschmacklose Werbekampagne startet, wie wir sie dann gezeigt haben.'Auf die Frage, weshalb die Titanic das Bild eines seit 2007 vermissten englischen Mädchens auf Discounterprodukten abdruckt, antwortete der deutsche Satiriker Martin Sonneborn mit diesem Satz in einem Interview mit der Süddeutschen Zeitung. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Phänomen, womit man immer wieder konfrontiert wird, wenn man sich mit Satire auseinandersetzt. Die expliziten und impliziten Aussagen von satirischen Artikeln oder Auftritten zu deuten, kann sehr schnell zu einer künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung ausarten. Doch wie funktioniert dieses Deutungsverfahren Wie kann es für den Rezipienten möglich sein, das Explizite von dem Impliziten zu unterscheiden Eine Antwort auf diese Frage könnte man möglicherweise durch die sprachwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung finden. Da die Linguistik einen hohen Wert darauf legt, ein sprachwissenschaftliches Phänomen wertungsfrei zu analysieren, scheint dies auch die einzige Möglichkeit zu sein, eine Antwort auf die gestellten Fragen zu finden.Politische Satire nimmt eine wesentliche Rolle in einer Demokratie ein. Ein demokratischer Staat kann erst als ein wirklich demokratischer Staat bezeichnet werden, wenn die Sicherheit der freien Meinungsäußerung rechtlich gefestigt ist. Politische Satire ist in Deutschland eine Gratwanderung im deutschen Grundgesetz. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Wechselspiel zwischen der im Grundgesetz gefestigten freien Meinungsäußerung und der Unantastbarkeit der menschlichen Würde. Wenn Politiker, religiöse Einrichtungen und Menschen des öffentlichen Lebens auf einer humorvollen Art und Weise an den Pranger gestellt werden, können und dies im Einklang der rechtlichen Verhältnisse des jeweiligen Staates geschieht, erfüllt die politische Satire ihren Dienst.Setzt man sich nun tiefer mit der Satire auseinander, so stellt man fest, dass immer wieder Ähnlichkeiten im Stil auftauchen. Ironie, Metaphern, Hyperbeln und oft auch scharfer Sarkasmus, sind rhetorische Mittel, von denen sich die Satire bedient. Ein anderes, oft eintretendes Merkmal der Satire ist die Parodie. 24 pp. Deutsch.

Jahrhunderts, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dass der Roman Frau Jenny Treibel ein Gesellschaftsroman ist, der die Unterschiede zwischen Besitzbürgertum und Bildungsbürgertum aufzeigt und kritisiert, ist unbestreitbar. Dies ist ebenso die Grundlage der vorliegenden Arbeit; sie stellt die Grundproblematik - sozialeUnterschiede - dar und ist der Anlass, über die Grenze hinwegzusehen und auch das Bildungsbürgertum im Hinblick auf das Schein-Sein-Motiv, das mehrheitlich der Bourgeoisie zugeschrieben wird, zu untersuchen. Diese Arbeit stellt eine reflektierende Betrachtung der Sein-Schein-Motivik in Theodor Fontanes Frau Jenny Treibel dar, welche aufgrund des Umfangs nicht auf Vollständigkeit angelegt ist. Die zahlreichen Forschungsmeinungen gehen z. T. stark auseinander oder umkreisen diese Thematik, je nach spezifischem Schwerpunkt. Dies ist ein Versuch einige Kontroverse Forschungsmeinungen zum Themenschwerpunkt Schein und Sein zu diskutieren. 28 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie der Antike, Note: 2, Universität Leipzig (Philosophie), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Platons Psychologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Hausarbeit soll es um die Psychologie Platons gehen, seine Seelenlehre, die in dem umfangreichen Werk der Politeia dargestellt wird. Platon verfasste vornehmlich Dialoge, in denen meist Sokrates und seine Schüler Begriffe der Griechischen Sprache erörtern.Am Anfang der Politeia steht der Begriff der Gerechtigkeit. Ist es nun besser gerecht zu sein, oder ungerecht unter dem Deckmantel der Gerechtigkeit Die Meinungen seiner Schüler und auch die öffentliche Meinung sind hier eindeutig: vorteilhafter sei es für den Einzelnen, so sagen sie, ungerecht zu walten. Doch der Sokrates will sich damit nicht zufrieden geben.Anders als z.B. in der platonischen Charmides und der Laches, belässt es Platon hier nicht dabei, den Begriff an sich zu erörtern und schlussendlich zu definieren, sondern er baut den Diskurs aus, so dass am Ende die Suche nach dem was Gerechtigkeit ist eher in den Hintergrund rückt und Platon einen völlig neuen, ideellen, gerechten, für jeden vorteilhaften Staat entstehen lässt, eine Aristokratie oder gar ein Königtum. Zusätzlich zu diesen beiden Hauptthemen baut er auch noch eine komplette Lehre von der Seele des Menschen, wie sie notwendig gebildet sein muss, damit der Mensch einem bestimmten Aufgabenfeld innerhalb der Gesellschaft gewachsen sein kann. Hier entstehen drei der wichtigsten platonischen Gleichnisse: das Höhlengleichnis, das Sonnengleichnis und das Liniengleichnis, alle drei dienen der Verbildlichung der menschlichen Seele, ihrer Struktur und wie sie am besten gebildet werden muss, damit sie allen zu Gute kommt.Somit habe ich den Titel der Arbeit auch geteilt, an erster Stelle steht es, Platons Psychologie, seine Lehre von der Seele, darzustellen. Als Unterpunkte wählte ich den Begriff der Gerechtigkeit in diesem Werk und die Bildung und Weisheit der Wächter und Philosophenregenten.Dennoch bin ich in gleicher Reihenfolge vorgegangen, wie das Werk - unter Auslassung einiger mir nicht allzu wichtig erscheinende Passagen für die Aufgabe, die ich mir stellte - um auch aufzuzeigen, wie Platon seinen Weg von der ursprünglichen Frage nach Gerechtigkeit zum kompletten idealen Staat schaffte und gleichzeitig seine Seelenlehre und seine These von der Idee des Guten einfügte.[.] 32 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, , language: English, abstract: Despite its obvious importance, the relationship between globalization, migration and religion is a fairly neglected phenomenon in scientific research.The religion of Islam is amongst the world religions to be hit the hardest by globalization processes. At the same time, more radical forms of Islam, in the shape of fundamentalism, seem to gain more and more influence in the West as well as in the Arabic world.In Great Britain, migration movements after World War II proved that Muslims are still not integrated in British society. Most Muslims still ask themselves the question 'Are we Muslims in Britain or are we British Muslims 'This dilemma increased after 9/11 and 2005 and opened the doors for the radical ideas simply because Islam serves well to provide identity in a diaspora situation.This essay tries to show how globalization, migration and Islam are interwoven and in how far British society is threatened by fundamentalism which still hinders a dialogue on both sides.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 44 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: Christopher Nolan¿s film from 2000, 'Memento,' takes a critical look at the visually dominated world we live in and challenges traditional cinema by addressing the film¿s artificiality and visuality. Memento draws attention to the sheer mass and variety of visual stimuli that surround us by playing with the use of camera, photographs, mirrors and other visual media. The focus on visuality illustrates our dependence on visual media in determining who we are, how we see the world and how we think.Memento is centered on a protagonist ¿ Leonard Shelby ¿ who is especially reliant on the help of visual media but does not realize how much it influences his identity. Leonard is a former insurance claims investigator who suffers from anterograde amnesia, a condition that prevents him from turning short-term memories into long-term ones. Leonard¿s amnesia is the result of a head injury he received while he was trying to rescue his wife from a murderer. Thus, Leonard lives in episodes that last about 15 minutes and after each such episode he forgets everything that happened before. Being deprived of the ability to remember anything that has happened since his wife¿s murder, Leonard has to come up with his own strategies to deal with everyday life. In the course of the film, the audience learns that Leonard has developed a system of visual cues to replace his memory. He even goes further and declares that his method of remembering via photographs, mind maps, tattoos and notes, is more reliable than memory itself. Leonard calls his visual cues ¿facts¿ and ignores the lack of context that comes along with a memory that consists only of separate Polaroid photos, ink on his skin and a few slips of paper.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 2,3, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, language: English, abstract: At the end of the Cold War, North Korea changed its military interventions into an approach to negotiations in order to use diplomatic talks to advance its political and propaganda aims. Since then there has been a long period of mistrust and provocation between the involved countries, notably North and South Korea, the USA, China and Japan.After the nuclear weapons test in North Korea in 2006 it has become even more important to rethink the security policy concept of the whole region. The most important way to prevent an outbreak of the ¿cold war¿ to a ¿hot war¿ is to keep thenegotiation process going on.To find out the main interests of the parties and negotiate between them, China initiated the so-called Six-party talks, which have started in 2003 and since then had to cope with several difficulties. They aim to find a peaceful resolution to the securityconcerns of the participating states. The most important issue is the North Korean nuclear weapons program that is provoking the stability of the whole region. For that reason are the six-party talks ¿a matter of extreme importance¿ to develop a world nuclear security (Lee 2004: 120).After North Korea made public that it has built a nuclear weapon one of the main risks is that South Korea, Japan and maybe also Taiwan could also build one which would raise the risk for a military escalation of the conflict. Another dangerous threat is North Koreas export of nuclear weapons into countries that are part of Americäs so-called ¿axis of evil¿.In December 1991 North Korea agreed to sign two documents with South Korea. The first was an agreement on reconciliation, non-aggression, exchanges and cooperation; the other was the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Thereafter the two Koreas entered a difficult negotiation to implement a nuclear inspection regime, which broke down without agreement.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Computer Science - Bioinformatics, grade: 8.26, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, course: b.tech honors biotechnology, language: English, abstract: As the number of genomes sequenced is increasing at high rate, there is a need of gene prediction method which is quick, reliable, inexpensive. In such conditions, the computations tool will serve as an alternative to wet lab methods. The confidence level of annotation by the tool can be enhanced by preparing exhaustive training data sets. The aim is to develop a tool which will read data from a DNA sequence file in the fasta format and will annotate it. For this purpose Genome Database was used to retrieve the input data. PERL programming has been put to develop this tool for annotation. To increase the confidence level of annotation the data was validated from multiple sources. Perl script was written to find the promoter region, repeats, transcription factor binding site, base periodicity, and nucleotide frequency. The program written was also executed to identify repeats, poly (A) signals, CpG islands, ARS. The tool will annotate the DNA by predicting the gene structure based on the consensus sequences of important regulatory elements. The confidence level of annotation of the predicted gene, non-coding region, ARS, repeats etc. were checked by running test dataset. This test dataset was annotated data as reported by genome database and computational tools. Gene prediction of the non-coding regions as reported by genome database (SGD) were performed by existing tools; the regions identified as non-coding by these tools were then analyzed for presence of repeats. The BLAST was used to annotate on the basis of sequence similarity with the already annotated genes. GeneMark.hmm and FGENESH were used for gene prediction. In order to validate the predicted results, annotations of genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from SGD Database, and output of different computational tools viz, Emboss-CpGplot, PolyAh, REPFind, Promoter 2.0 Prediction Server were compared with the output of developed tool. The output generated was also used for validation and checking sensitivity of the tool. Such tools reduce the cost and time required for genome annotation and bridge the gap between sequenced and annotated data. The output generated by the developed tool was also used for validation and checking sensitivity of the tool.

It is a most vital instrument of the socio-economic development of a country. Energy is a very important factor in the production process. Energy is pivotal in running machinery in factories and industrial units, for lighting our cities and powering our vehicles etc.There has been enormous increase in the demand of energy due to the massive industrialization and rapid population growth in comparison to the enhancement in the supply of energy production. Supply of energy is, therefore, far less than the actual demand, resultantly crisis has emerged. An energy crisis can be defined as any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. With the evolution of civilizations, the human demand for energy has continuously increased. At present, the key factor which drives the growth in energy demand include increasing human population, modernization and urbanization. According to the united nations , the world population 6.5 billion in 2005 is to grow to 9.1 billion by 2050 and most of the population growth is expected to place in the developing world Asia and Africa.(Dinner, 1999).Poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy and environmental degradation are the most important challenges faced by the world. Poor and inadequate access to secure an affordable means of energy in one of the crucial factors behind these issues. Electricity for example is vital for providing basic social services such as education and health, water supply and purification, sanitation, and refrigeration of essential medicines. Electricity is of course, very helpful in supporting a wide range of income generation opportunities.The leading countries in the world in terms of population without access to electricity include India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Congo, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Kenya. With the growing world population and people's aspiration for improved life a central and collective global issue in the new century is to sustain socio-economic growth within the constraints of the earth¿s limited natural resource along with preserving the environment.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: Sex, Sexuality and Language, language: English, abstract: Language is a multifaceted medium and sophisticated system of communication. It has many characteristics and functions - informing, advising, arguing, asking, suggesting or expressing feelings, to name just a few. The last function is, in particular, also the one that is essential and most important here, as the issue of this study is to examine the emotionally charged obscenities, more precisely, anger and aggressiveness that is expressed through the speech. American English, as any other language, contains a number of words that are used for the purpose of insulting people(Aman, 1972: 161). What character swearing has within a certain language depends, however, on the determined sociocultural norms, taboos, cognitions about the world and linguistic conventions of an ethnic group(Jay, 2008: 267). Reinhold Aman, the author of the Bayrisch-österreichisches Schimpfwörterbuch, argues that this is the reason for the unique set of offensive words within each country(Aman, 1972: 161). In terms of English, ¿there are hundreds of taboo words and phrases [used for swearing]; the semantic range of referents that are considered taboo is [however] limited in scope. Taboos in English are placed primarily on sexual references [.]¿ (Jay, 2009: 154). Based on these facts, the purpose of this research is to find out whether several European languages, in this case, German, Spanish and Polish - all belonging to distinct language families, use insults in a sexual manner as well.In doing so, this research is based, in general, on the publications of Timothy Jay, an author, who is the precursor in the area of the speech of violence, and who has edited many scientific works on that specific topic. In order to provide information about the essential concepts and to avoid any disambiguations, first of all, some basic terms and aspects, that are relevant for the comprehension and proper treatment of the issue, will be explained.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Innovative Twentieth-Century Theatre, language: English, abstract: In what way does Samuel Beckett create absurdity in his play 'Waiting for Godot' and what is it that makes the ¿game¿ with the absurdity so unique and therefore Samuel Beckett¿s play to one of the most authentic representatives of the 'Theatre of the Absurd' Samuel Beckett was born in 1906 in Dublin and died in 1989 in Paris. He was an Anglo-Irish author and wrote in French as well as in English. Furthermore, he wrote poems and novels and worked as a theatre director. Samuel Beckett is considered the master of absurdity. (cf. Schwanitz 323) The central theme in his works is the meaninglessness of the human existence. (cf. Wunderlich)He was friends with James Joyce and was impressed by Joyce¿s ¿stream of consciousness¿ ¿ a special literary method that James Joyce used. The idea of the ¿stream of consciousness¿ is an on-going process of associating things, i.e. the idea of getting inside into the uncontrolled process of thinking of a person.Waiting for Godot (1954) is Beckett¿s translation of his own original French version that is called 'En attendant Godot' (1952).In 1969 he received the Nobel Price for Literature, but he did not accept the price because people thought 'Waiting for Godot' would be a potential religious play. According to Beckett that was wrong and that is why he decided to refuse the price.Finally, Samuel Beckett was the most unique, singular writer in English/French since 1945.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 28 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Psychology - Clinical Psychology, Psychopathology, Prevention, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: Bipolar Disorder, formerly known as manic depressive illness, is an affective disorder that is characterized by periods of mania alternating with periods of depression; these are usually interspersed with relatively long intervals of normal mood. It is interesting to note that this disorder has been shown to be one of the commonest disorders but has only recently been given its own classification, having previously been confused with many other disorders.PrevalenceIn the 1998 American census it was discovered that 20% of the adult population, some 44.3 million, had a mental-health issue. In addition to this, 20% of the children had also been diagnosed with a behavioural or emotional issue; this equates to between 7.7 and 12.8 million children (Stillman, 2005). Bipolar Disorder is believed to affect around 2.3 million adults in America and a conservative estimate of a million children. In Sue, Sue & Sue (1997) the prevalence of bipolar disorder is placed at around 1% of the adult population while 8-17% have experienced some form of major depressive episode.Bipolar disorder seems to be rare in children but there have been documented cases of children as young as four years old displaying the symptoms (Poznanski, Israel, & Grossman, 1984). It is interesting to note here that Taylor & Abrams (1981) suggest that about a third of all bipolar cases begin during adolescence, adding value to the focus of bipolar disorder in childhood. Papolos & Papolos (2006) add that an estimated third of all children who have been diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) have been misdiagnosed and are actually suffering from a mood disorder. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry suggest that a third of the 3.4 million children who appear to be suffering from depression will progress to the bipolar form of a mood disorder.While most investigators agree that mood disorders are fundamentally similar in children and in adults (Lewinsohn, Hops, Roberts, Seeley, & Andrews, 1993), Papolos & Papolos suggest that children have a more ¿chronic course of illness¿ than their adult counterparts and cycle between mania and depression with relatively few periods or normal mood (2006, p. 6). Barlow & Durand give an apt description of bipolar disorder as ¿the tendency of manic episodes to alternate with major depressive episodes in an unending roller-coaster ride from the peaks of elation to the depths of despair¿, and while.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Psychology - Clinical Psychology, Psychopathology, Prevention, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract:Asperger¿s syndrome has only recently been accepted as a diagnosis on the autism spectrum even though it was first defined some sixty years ago. Asperger¿s syndrome is a disorder characterized by some of the features of autism, such as abnormalities of social interaction and repetitive and stereotyped interests and activities, but without the delay of retardation and cognitive development that is seen in true autism (Reber & Reber, 2001).This syndrome is very similar to that of autism, but the normal development of both speech and motor skills distinguish it from autism (Tilton, 2004). The syndrome is also marked by poor arithmetic skills, an impaired sense of humour and difficulty in comprehending the gestures of people around them. Barlow & Durand (2005) indicate that the child with Asperger¿s syndrome usually has an average IQ, with relatively little cognitive impairment; and imply that Asperger¿s is not a separate disorder from autism. This idea is supported by Reber & Reber (2001), who also note that some authorities still have doubts as to the validity of the syndrome as a separate disorder to autism.Dr Miriam Stoppard (2006) suggests that people with Asperger¿s syndrome are often highly intelligent but are perceived to be socially ¿a bit odd¿. She places this disorder at the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum of disorders.Dr. Hans Asperger was the first physician to document Asperger¿s syndrome in 1944. He was involved in studying children, mostly boys, who were having difficulty interacting in socially acceptable ways. The children appeared to be self-centered, socially isolated, less physically adept than others and rather uncoordinated. The children were displaying repetitive physical activities and showed a bizarre fascination with numbers, timetables and the working mechanisms of objects. He did so at the same time that Dr. Leo Kanner, a psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins University was involved in writing about autism. Dr. Kanner was first to use the word ¿autism¿ which derived from the Greek autos meaning ¿self¿. Interestingly, both physicians came to the same conclusions, without collaboration, at a time when autism spectrum disorders had not even been officially identified. As a result, European physicians .Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.
