What happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment? As our world begins to look more and more like Orwell's 1984, Neil's Postman's essential guide to the modern media is more relevant than ever. It's unlikely that Trump has ever read Amusing Ourselves to Death, but his ascent would not have surprised Postman." -CNN Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman's groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media--from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs--it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our hi...

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Allgemeine Didaktik, Erziehungsziele, Methoden, Note: 1,6, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Anwendung und Auswertung der Methode Lernen durch Lehren (LdL) nach Jean-Pol Martin in einer elften Klasse an einem Gymnasium in Berlin. Mit der darzustellenden Unterrichtsreihe soll herausgefunden werden, ob und inwieweit sich der Gedanke der dynamischen Kompetenzentwicklung im didaktischen Konzept Lernen durch Lehren wiederfindet und dadurch gegebenenfalls ein moderner, innovativer Unterricht verwirklicht werden könnte, der die Lerner in ihrer Selbständigkeit stärkt. Lehrkräfte praktizieren weitgehend den Unterricht, den sie selbst in ihrer Schülerlaufbahn und Ausbildung kennengelernt haben. Für einen Großteil des heutigen Unterrichts an deutschen Schulen bedeutet das mit anderen Worten: Die Lehrkraft instruiert die Lerner zur Durchführung von Arbeitsaufträgen, die Kommunikation innerhalb des Unterrichts beschränkt sich auf einzelne Schü...

As the world struggles to meet the growing international demands for electricity, green energy, and alternatives to fossil fuels, the nuclear power sector is experiencing global growth. Nuclear reactors are being designed and constructed at record rates, and Canada is joining the trend, with several provinces considering an expansion of their nuclear presence. Canada, the Provinces, and the Global Nuclear Revival critically examines Canadian nuclear policy in order to show how historic, environmental, economic, and political factors have shaped the direction of the nation's energy industry. Duane Bratt presents a comparative study of the Canadian nuclear sector - using a framework of interest-based coalitions - in its response to the global revival, analyzing nuclear development in Ontario, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The book also answers fundamental questions such as: Has Canada seized international opportunities in uranium mining, reactor sales, and cooperation wit...

This is a book for anyone wishing to know more about how human beings respond in conditions of intense stress, and how best to help them, their families and communities. It is designed for all professionals and voluntary organizations who have to cope with disasters and their aftermath. The author provides an account of the psychological and social aspects of disasters, the experiences of victims and rescue workers, and describes "stressed helpers" - rescue workers whose reactions are as severe as the "victims".

Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary Gregor's acclaimed translation of the text into English, revised by Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by Christine Korsgaard.

Dr Schaffer outlines the development of the mythological school of European Biblical criticism, especially its German origins and its reception in England, and studies the influence of this movement in the work of specific writers: Coleridge Hoelderlin, Browning, and George Eliot. The 'higher criticism' treated sacred scripture as literature and as history, as the product of its time, and the highest expression of a developing group consciousness; it challenged current views on the authorship and dating of the Pentateuch and the Gospels, on inspiration, prophecy, and canonicity, and formulated a new apologetics closely linked with the growth of Romantic aesthetics. The importance of this study is that it shows that readings of specific literary texts can intersect with general movements of thought and action through the scrutiny of a clearly defined intellectual discipline, here the higher criticism, which developed as a particular expression of the larger trends in the histor...
