Scientific Study from the year 2011 in the subject Pedagogy - Intercultural Pedagogy, , course: Interkulturelles Management, language: English, abstract: "Transculture" or the transcultural approach as an extension and an enhancement of the intercultural approach is the master key that unlocks any culture. It is a cultural superhighway and lingua franca destined for the ushering in and the sustainable management of the global age. The intercultural approach fits the age of the 20th century where cultural interfacings were still more overseeable. But in the 21st century the players will multiply and interfacings will be less overseeable and controllable. Therefore the world needs an approach to culture and its management that can deal will myriads of diversity and cultural diversity in particular simultaneously in a holistic way; a culture general approach that functions as an cultural autopilot to effectively navigate global diversity at all scales in all shapes, forms and types.

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, , course: Internationale Politik, language: English, abstract: Diverse strategic approaches are compared and evaluated with regard to their sustainability. The dawning of the third millennium could have been accompanied by an awakening to a new state of mind and consciousness that has shaken off millennia old methods of conflict resolution by means of violence. But, human and in particular national strategic thinking seems to be characterized by business as usual, as if one had learnt nothing over the past 2000 years and as if Jesus¿s revolutionary intervention on human relational assumptions had never happened. And one pays the price for ignoring it out of self-complacency. How long can man ignore it in this multicultural millennium where conflict scenarios are likely to abound due tomultiple interrelated new factors at a planetary scale.

Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, , Veranstaltung: Poesie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Guide through the thorny rose garden of verse:Elysian Fragrance/Elysische Klänge of the Gardens of Verse disclose revelatory vistas that can lift and inspire the mind and the heart. Through a poetic prose approach it explores common and uncommon horizons of the visible and the more hidden. The various scents and fragrances released by the diverse blossoms of the blooming Elysian Rose Gardens add up to a vibrational field with insights, perceptions and emotions of an uncommon kind. An Elysian experience more timeless and perennial than ephemeral gratification of the senses. Sometimes it allows us to catch a glimpse of the deep undercurrents of existisence and the divine melodies form beyond. The ultimate quest is totality, authenticity, truth, love...: the wholeness of life that integrates its myriads of manifestations;inner wholeness as well as cosmic wholeness; the perception and understanding of the singularity of the totality of creation. No language is up to such an ambition; the poets of all times have been trying to catch glimpses of the hidden world and to engineer it in the beauty of the verses, the sages have tried to mold their perceptions, insights and intuition in intelligible metaphors for the audiences of their ages and cultures. Last but not least religions offer timeless truth in timeless metaphors andparables. Who could go beyond it? Many will replicate it form their unique cultural stances at their level of evolution and with their linguistic instruments and skills. The constraints of an English as asecond language speaker additionally complicate the task of finding the "mot juste", the right word at times. Ultimately anything inspirational can only be that if it has been truly inspired. Opening the heart and the mind and the linguistic resources and reservoirs to such marvelous inspiration and insight is the task at hand for the writer and the reader of these words.
