Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,3, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Das Konzil von Lyon 1245, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Krisen in der Biographie Friedrichs II. beschränken sich nicht auf den Konflikt mit den Päpsten, weswegen es wenig Sinn macht, sie als vollständig isolierte Phänomene in seiner Biographie zu betrachten. Allerdings, und das ist gleich zu Anfang auch schon eine der Thesen dieser Arbeit, finden die Konflikte Friedrichs II. mit den Päpsten nicht nur 1245 in Lyon ihren Höhepunkt oder gar entscheidendes Ende, sondern stellen auch schon vorher einen entscheiden Bereich dar, der Friedrichs Herrschaft charakterisiert. Zwar war der ständig schwelende Konflikt mit den lombardischen Städten mehr als ein einfaches Ärgernis, über die persönliche oder gar emotionale Bedeutung der Revolte seines Sohnes Heinrich lässt sich sicher viel spekulieren, und der päpstliche Bann eines Kaisers war im Hochmittelalter vieles, aber sicher kein Unikum. Nichtsdestotrotz nimmt der Konflikt zwischen Kaiser und Kurie eine zentrale Rolle in Friedrichs Herrschaft ein, in Sizilien noch mehr als im Reich, und ist darüber hinaus schon in seinen ersten Herrscherjahren sichtbar und bricht immer wieder auf ¿ so die These dieser Arbeit.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), course: PS II Literaturwissenschaft - Shaws Frühe Dramen, language: English, abstract: This essay shall aim at portraying Shaw¿s Fabian thought and morality in his early plays, i.e. Widowers¿ Houses, Arms and the Man, and The Devil¿s Disciple. Such a task automatically renders the essay no more than an attempt at finding traces, for there are no socialists in the plays mentioned. Instead, socialist thought is conveyed implicitly, i.e. by means of the plot, by method of showing, or by confronting a Victorian theatre audience with realities they would only too well like to ignore. Widower¿s Houses is a good case in point: it is highly unlikely any tenants living in the sort of substandard accommodation portrayed in the play could afford a night out in Covent Garden, and it is equally unlikely the theatre-going audience would ever bother to visit them in ¿their¿ rundown houses. Consequently, Shaw forced the reality upon the audience and explicitly tried to use drama as a means of propaganda (Grene: 1987: 15 and 3). However, here one could critically add that Shaw ¿ like most Fabians ¿ had as little contact with the working class as those he criticised for the same reasons (Ballay 1980: 237).I shall focus on Widowers¿ Houses, Arms and the Man, and The Devil¿s Disciple, for reasons I will explain in the conclusion. The essay follows a hypothesis, which is as written above: Shaw forced upon his audience realities they would like to ignore, and he wished to radicalise his audience (Gahan: 13). The second assumption this essay follows is that morality is as much part of Fabianism as politics are. In his economic and political writings, Shaw made a strong connection between economics and morality (Griffith: 29f.). His opposition to capitalism rooted very much in the fact that he rejected it morally. Hence, according to Fabian logic, the struggle for a better (i.e. socialist) society is hardly to be separated from the question of individual conduct, at least to those who can afford it. The verbal claims made by Trench and Sartorius that they would like to change society for the better but find their hands bound collide with Richard in ¿The Devil¿s Disciple¿, who claims to follow the devil but immunises himself from attack by immaculate behaviour. Again, Shaw forced a reality upon his audience they might not have witnessed elsewhere, and effectively used the stage for propagandistic purposes, even though they might not be quite as obvious as with other political writers such as Brecht.

Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 2,0, University of Wales, Aberystwyth (International Politics Department), course: September 11, International Terrorism and the Middle East, language: English, abstract: Does poverty cause terrorism? A simple equation which is frequently evoked in the media and public discourse on terrorism, but as has been shown quite frequently, terrorists tend to come from educated and middle-class backgrounds. So what does it take to make a terrorist? There is - as will hardly surprise anyone - no clear cut, simple answer, but this essay aims at providing an overview and further questions.
