The work of Levinas has, for the most part, been too easily read. Levinas''s use of words like "responsibility" and "God" gives some readers reason to dismiss his work as insufficiently attentive to the whispered suspicions of our times, while giving others reason to accept his work as a clarion call guiding them out of this wilderness of disorienting whispers. Richly informed by readings of Heidegger, Derrida, and Blanchot, Keenan argues that the notion of responsibility at the heart of Levinas''s notion of ethics is intimately dependent upon his account of death.

About the Book Native American Movie Actors honors those courageously infamous, brave unsung Native Americans who reenacted in films and emphasizes their plight to preserve the sacred land of their inheritance while displaying the beauty and grandeur of their homeland. Many Hollywood Western movies used hundreds of local Native American people to create box-office hits. Yet the faces of these Native Americans, their riding skills, and “War Cries,” that contributed to their success never received the proper credit they deserved. E. Dennis King reviews the history of filmmaking with Native American actors as well as the beginning of Western moviemaking in Utah. Through an in-depth look at the history and struggle of the Native American actors, he brings to life the immense talent of their work and the beautiful landscape of their homeland.

We are all spiritually connected. To varying degrees, our experiences are universal. Through love, heartache, peace and discontent, we are given the opportunity to change our lives. Although we may not look similar, our struggles and questions about life are the same. With this book I hope to answer some of those questions. Your experiences hold a valuable lesson meant just for you. Take the good and bad and learn from them. As Willis R. Whitney stated: Some people have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

The goanna''s ubiquity and sometimes brazen behaviour has made them a familiar favourite with generations of Australian bushwalkers, campers, and picnickers.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Flensburg, course: Selected Areas of English Linguistics for TEFL Teachers, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will analyze the animated sitcom Family Guy in terms of three linguistic features and how they relate to creating humor. The sitcom is an example of (scripted) authentic English language. The paper is divided into five sections. After this introduction, I will provide relevant theoretical background knowledge. I will start by reminding the reader of the concept of pragmatics and then introduce three pragmatic theories. First, I will present Speech Act Theory with its differentiation of the locutionary act, the illocutionary act and perlocutionary act as well as the differentiation between direct and indirect speech acts. Second, I will depict the Cooperative Principle with its four maxims (quantity, quality, relation and manner), the four types of non-observance of these maxims (flouting, violating, opting out and infringing) and the notion of implicature. Third, I will introduce the concept of politeness including positive and negative face and the idea of face-threatening acts that need to be compensated by politeness strategies. In section three, I will present Family Guy and its characters and state why using a sitcom is beneficial for my analysis. In section four, I will present and analyze eleven excerpts from various episodes in terms of the creation of humor based on pragmatic features. I will end this paper with a conclusion, in which I will present thirteen ‘humor formulas’ that I was able to deduce from the analysis.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Musik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, Europa-Universität Flensburg (ehem. Universität Flensburg) (Institut für Ästhetisch-Kulturelle Bildung, Abteilung Musik), Veranstaltung: Themen in der Musik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Hausarbeit werden drei Lieder, die im Protest gegen den US-Amerikanischen Präsidenten Donald Trump geschrieben wurden, analysiert und interpretiert. Die Fragestellung lautet: "Mit welchen musikalischen Mitteln wird der Protest in den Songs ausgedrückt und wie unterscheiden sich die Songs diesbezüglich?". Nach einem kurzen theoretischen Hintergrund zu Donald Trump, Protestsongs und der Analyse von populärer Musik werden die drei Protestsongs "Million Dollar Loan" von Death Cab for Cutie, "Trump Is on Your Side" von Moby und "Tiny Hands" von Michael Whalen und Fiona Apple bezüglich ihrer Harmonik, Melodik, Rhythmik, Instrumentalisierung und Songtexte analysiert und interpretiert, wobei nicht immer auf alle Aspekte eingegangen wird. In einem abschließenden Kapitel werden die Ergebnisse zusammengefasst.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Musikpädagogik, Note: 1,7, Europa-Universität Flensburg (ehem. Universität Flensburg) (Institut für Ästhetisch-Kulturelle Bildung, Abteilung Musik), Veranstaltung: Musik lehren und lernen - Musikpädagogische Konzeptionen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Aufbauende Musikunterricht (AMU) erfährt zurzeit eine große Beliebtheit bei Musiklehrern. Doch ist diese relativ junge Konzeption wirklich ein Königsweg zu besserem Musikunterricht an allgemeinbildenden Schulen? In der Fachdidaktik herrscht größtenteils Konsens darüber, dass die Motivierung der Schüler eine wichtige Aufgabe des Lehrers in jeder Unterrichtsstunde ist. In dieser Hausarbeit wird deshalb versucht, folgende Forschungsfrage zu beantworten: Gibt es im AMU Aspekte, die einen potentiell motivierenden Effekt haben könnten und wenn ja, welche sind dies? Die Hausarbeit kommt zu dem Schluss, dass der AMU durchaus potentiell motivierende Aspekte enthält. Es muss allerdings bedacht werden, dass die Analyse auf den theoretischen Überlegungen der Autoren beruht. Ob AMU wirklich die gelisteten Prinzipien wie z.B. die Mitbestimmung und Selbstregulierung und die nach und nach anspruchsvolleren Übungen verwirklicht, müsste in einer Studie untersucht werden. Dies wäre allerdings ein schwieriges Unterfangen, denn schließlich weisen die Autoren selbst darauf hin, dass der AMU ganz unterschiedlich verwirklicht werden kann.

GET ON THE TEAM BUS FOR AN EXCITING FOUR MONTH RIDE ... WE BALL Y''ALL: Diary of a Championship Quest is the personal diary of veteran basketball coach Dennis King of Brentwood High School in Tennessee. Returning four starters from a 30-5 final-four season a year earlier, expectations were high. Another district championship was expected, another region championship was highly probable, another sectional win was a distinct possibility, but a return to the state tournament was imperative. The taste of playing on the state''s biggest stage was intoxicating, and 17 young men and their grizzled coach yearned for another drink. The book captures the emotional ride of player-coach interaction, off-court drama, on-court intensity, locker room tirades, thirty-two glorious victories and three painful defeats. The author also reflects on an array of topics ranging from competition, education, religion, family and aging. Get on the team bus and sit next to the coach. You will view a special and historic season of high school basketball, as seen through the eyes of its chief architect - Coach Dennis King.

Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Musikpädagogik, Note: unbenotet, Europa-Universität Flensburg (ehem. Universität Flensburg) (Institut für Ästhetisch-Kulturelle Bildung, Abteilung Musik), Veranstaltung: (Praxissemester), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Warum singen also Schüler nicht, wenn sie doch singen wollen?“, ist eine Frage, die Lidl in einem Artikel zum Singen mit Kindern und Jugendlichen im Musikunterricht stellt. Anstatt die allgemeinen Gründe für das zurückhaltende Singen einiger Schülerinnen und Schüler im Musikunterricht erforschen zu wollen, liegt der Fokus der Studie auf entgegenwirkenden Interventionen. In diesem Sinne wird untersucht, bei welcher grundlegenden Methode der Liederarbeitung (Klaviergestützte Vermittlung, Unbegleitete Vermittlung, Videogestützte Erarbeitung, Instrumentale Erarbeitung) die SuS am intensivsten und am lautesten mitsingen. Zusätzlich sollen aber auch die Gründe für das jeweilige Singverhalten herausgefunden werden. Die Erkenntnisse aus der Studie können Lehrkräften bei zukünftigen Entscheidungen bezüglich der Liederarbeitung im Musikunterricht helfen. Für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurden an vier verschiedenen Terminen in einem aus 15 SuS bestehenden Wahlpflichtkurs Musik Klasse 7 vier unterschiedliche, aber ähnliche Gospel-Lieder mit je einer Methode vermittelt und die SuS danach mit einem anonymen Fragebogen nach ihrer Selbsteinschätzung befragt. Nach Durchführung der letzten Methode gab es einen abschließenden Fragebogen. Die ersten drei Methoden (klaviergestützte Vermittlung durch die Lehrkraft, unbegleitete Vermittlung durch die Lehrkraft, Lernen von einem Video) waren lehrerzentriert und/oder frontal, während die vierte Methode (Eigenständige Erarbeitung durch ein Instrument) schülerzentriert war. Für die Auswertung wurde der Mixed-Methods-Ansatz gewählt. Demnach wird ein Teil der Daten statistisch und ein anderer Teil mit der Frequenzanalyse aus dem Bereich der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet.

The key to great story telling is a good ear. All the best storytellers have it: an ability to hear a story where others only hear a narrative. Dennis King has it in spades, and that is what comes through loud and clear in this very personal collection of stories from his hometown of Georgetown, PEI, CANADA. Dennis hears "the story" in every neighbor''s voice and in every quirky, funny, and touchingly poignant incident, that illustrates the everyday life of a small town. Their stories are all here...told with a love and respect and an understanding that can only come from having been an intimate part of it all. Dennis'' pride of place comes shining through, and in almost every story, the hero is Georgetown. If you love the stories of Stephen Leacock, Garrison Keillor, or Stuart McLean, you''ll love the stories of Dennis King.

REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY takes the reader inside the locker room, inside the huddle of final timeouts, inside the American classroom, and inside the head of a veteran English teacher who was inspired by the unique young men and women he taught and coached. Coach Dennis King combines a life-time of observation, reflection, and personal stories of inspiration to reveal an intense slice of high school basketball never before documented with such a specific lens. A champion is an athlete infected by a dream whose passion, discipline, competitiveness, poise, pride, humility, character, confidence, and courage separate him or her from the ranks of the ordinary. The author of REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY is not a celebrity coach who has written a book trying to cash in on a fleeting national championship. Hes a blue-collar teacher/coach whose entire career has been spent in the trenches of public education devoted to the grassroots mission of helping young people reach their full potential. 10 CHAMPIONSHIP TRAITS DREAMS - Champions dream in high definition. PASSION Champions self-ignite. COMPETITIVENESS Champions crave challenges. DISCIPLINE - Champions embrace repetition, habit and sacrifice. POISE Champions relax. PRIDE Champions care. HUMILITY Champions show gratitude. CONFIDENCE- Champions visualize victory. CHARACTER Champions make right choices. COURAGE Champions conquer fear.
