- It's difficult to say how women and men are presented in the media in general, because this depends on the topic of the program. TV programs often present stereotypes of men and women, for instance the man as the breadwinner. The TVshow "Germanys next Topmodel" is full of these stereotypes and present women as persons, who are just interested in Make-up, shopping and fashion. To give an opposite example l'll analyze the news program "Tagesschau" from the public service broadcasting authorities. As a reputable news broadcasters they don't use clichés and report neutral. Nevertheless, they present a specific image of men and women in some points. For example, they use an icon of a person, who wears a dress, to symbolize a woman, whereas men are presented in suit similar clothes. Also, they didn't gender the German word for doctor(7:05 Ärzte). In this way they support the view of a man dominated job. The image that higher positions are reserved for men and lower positions for women is also shown. The presented shareholder is a man as well as the CEO of TUI. The image of boys who play football is presented in a clip where 2 boys are playing table football. But in my opinion these are "mistakes" you can't avoid. For example the problem with the icon. If the Tagesschau presented men and women with only one symbol how could they be sure that women would not feel offended by it? I'm convinced that the Tagesschau try to not use clichés and stereotypes. The points I listed above are just things they have to present, because as a news channel they present the reality.January 7, 202120
- Es war heute sehr stark bewölkt. Der Himmel ist immer grauer geworden. Am Nachmittag war es so dunkel wie abends. Wir, also die Bewohner, sind es gewohnt, dass das Wetter so ist. Ich möchte auch nicht übertreiben, es ist nicht wie London oder eine andere Stadt, aber wir sehen selten die Sonne. Trotzdem ist es meistens nicht sehr kalt. Die Stadt befindet sich entlang am Ufer. Ich glaube, dass wir deswegen mehr die Feuchtigkeit fühlen. (Vielleicht: ... dass wir deswegen mehr von der Feuchtigkeit betroffen sind) Wenn es Sommer ist, könnte das ein bisschen störend sein. Ich bin froh, dass wir trotz globale Erwärmung alle Jahreszeiten erleben.0 votedNovember 18, 20201
- My goal for the next month is get better in writing in English. But I realized I'm in conflict with myself on this point. On the one hand I want to get the recognition and want to achieve something. On the other hand I don't want to force myself to do something and if I do something it shouldn't matter, what other things about it. For instance I was today in the evening in this conflict. I will do an exam in the next day in English. I should have wrote some texts like this one. But instead I learned some stupid phrases. Of course, for the exam it is helpful, but for my goal, to get better in writing, it is very unimportant. Maybe marks matter to Mach for myselfNovember 18, 202030
- A comment to the quote "The old generation is useless for our society" Everyone of us know some old people, maybe our grandparents or the friendly people from the neighborhood. But how can these old people help our society or is this generation useless for the society? Many people seem to think that they are useless. Of course, they can't work, but there are much more way they can help our society. For instance much older people care for their grandchildren. In this way they support their children, which belongs to the working population. Furthermore we shouldn't neglect the fact that the old generation have worked their entire lives. Without their help the society as we know it wouldn't exist. Finally it is important to mention that every single person of the old generation has much more experience. That's why they are able to teach us something about live. I'm convinced that this is important, because some mistakes shouldn't be made twice. Summing up it can be said that even though the old generation can't work anymore we need them and they need us.November 16, 202020
- Letzte Nacht hatte ich Bereitschaftsdienst. Das bedeutet, dass ich mein Handy ständig eingeschaltet lassen muss. Wenn ich darauf warte, dass das Handy klingelt, finde ich es schwierig zu entspannen und einzuschlafen. Niemand hat mich angerufen aber ich habe schlecht geschlafen und jetzt tut mein Kopf weh. Mein Sohn hat mich früh aufgeweckt. Obwohl ich länger im Bett bleiben wollte, ist es morgens immer sehr schön ihn zu sehen. Er ist auch immer froh, mich zu sehen und freute sich auf den heutigen Tag. Ich war dankbar und bin aufgestanden.0 votedNovember 14, 20201
- In the article "Huge survey reveals seven social classes in UK" from the 3rd April 2013 the BBC writes that you can split the UK in 7 classes. The 3 traditional categories working, middle and upper class just fitting 39% of people. The 7 new social classes are Elite, the most wealthy class, established middle class, technical middle class, new affluent workers, traditional working class, emergent service class and the precariat. These social classes are defienden by their economic, social and cultural capital. To have more than 3 social classes is necessary, because there is a big group that is neither a part of the working class nor of the middle class.September 13, 202010
