Culture and History of Great Britain
Seen through a Selection of Breakthrough Achievements Vol. I
Geschichtswissenschaftliche Studien
Encyclopaedias have been written on the subject of the history and culture of Great Britain. However, the author of this work needed a different approach while ‘selling’ this knowledge to students. Without too many dates, with not too many wars and bloodshed, but rather focusing on ides not normally taught during courses.
Let us experience the hardships of everyday life enhanced with the inventions of ingenious human brain. Let us experience the fear of the…

Legal Culture on Human Trafficking in Mercosur
Between the Local and the Global
An Analysis from 2000 to 2016
Schriften zum ausländischen Recht
Mercosur has become a key region for human trafficking. This illegal trade interconnects the four countries by means of a complex criminal matrix and requires concerted governmental strategies in order to counter this phenomenon. However, Mercosur member states had established different regulations, thereby keeping the region from developing a joint strategy. This was to change in 2001 when the bloc emerged as a transnational actor in order to promote cooperation and…

English in Chinese Popular Culture
Discourses of TV Commercials, Popular Music and Entertainment TV Shows
PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse
In the past few decades, a number of studies have addressed various aspects of English in China. Although few studies to date have investigated English in Chinese pop culture, the influence from Western culture and the English language on Chinese culture cannot be ignored.

The Misery of Childless Marriage in Igbo Culture
Re-Consideration of Ecclesiastical Ethical Response to Cultural and Biomedical “Remedies”
Infertility is a universal problem but the crisis it poses for Christian couples in the African cultural context differs from the experience in Western cultures. The root of the problem is the conflict in the understanding of marriage in African culture and the Christian marriage ethics, which makes it difficult for one to remain truly African and happily Christian in the faces of childless marriage. This work demonstrates this using the life context of the Igbo people of…

Mehrsprachigkeit – Begegnung von Sprachen und Kulturen / Multilingualism – The Convergence of Languages and Cultures
LINGUA – Fremdsprachenunterricht in Forschung und Praxis
Mehrsprachigkeit ist ein immer aktuelles Thema, das aus verschiedenen Perspektiven erforscht werden kann. Heutzutage ist es selbstverständlich, dass man mehrere Fremdsprachen lernt und dann auch in alltäglichen Kommunikationssituationen verwendet. Einer der möglichen Gründe dafür ist, dass die heutige Gesellschaft immer mehr multikulturell wird, was bedeutet, dass verschiedene fremde Sprachen und dadurch auch fremde Kulturen aufeinandertreffen.
