Germany
So we think we know a lot about Germans? After all, more Germans have immigrated to the United States than any other ethnic group, and fifty million American citizens currently claim German heritage. The truth is, though, Germans are different from us—in more ways than we may know. Greg Nees, in this new InterAct, Germany: Unraveling an Enigma, does an outstanding job of explaining those cultural differences that we most need to know in order to have effective and fulfilling interactions with the Germans. Nees explores major German cultural themes: the need for order and obedience to rules and regulations, the insistence on clarity of thought, compartmentalization, the penchant for rationa...

Der Karikaturenstreit und die Pressefreiheit. Wert- und Normenkonflikte in der globalen Medienkultur
Die von der danischen Zeitung Jyllands-Posten im September 2005 veroffentlichten "Mohammed Karikaturen" waren fur manche ein Test der Grenzen der Pressefreiheit, fur andere nur eine bosartige und geschmacklose Provokation. Fur wiederum andere boten sie einen willkommenen Anlass zum gewalttatigen Protest. Der Karikaturenstreit wirft eine Reihe von Fragen auf: Geht es um die Verteidigung der Pressefreiheit oder um blosse Islamophobie? Steht hier westliche Toleranz gegen ostliche Borniertheit oder geht es um gegenseitigen Respekt und Zuruckhaltung? Wurde der ganze Konflikt durch die Medien kunstlich erzeugt und angeheizt? Mussen wir in der globalisierten Medienkultur eine neue Medienethik der i...
MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country
With more than 2 million members, MoveOn is at the cutting edge of a new model for political activism. In their first-ever book, they take their message offline with MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country: How to Find Your Political Voice and Become a Catalyst for Change, in an effort to jumpstart an even broader civic dialogue and inspire all to become involved in our political process. With introductions by Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Gail Sheehy, David Fenton, and the MoveOn staff, MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country is a political call-to-action guide that includes 50 essays from MoveOn members across the country. Each essay is a compelling personal story with action items and resources. Simple ideas are illuminated, such as "Vote, No Matter What," about a dying man's wish to cast a ballot, as are more dynamic actions, such as "Start a Petition," which chronicles a couple's quest to protect endangered wolves in Alaska. For those who feel powerless or overwhelmed, angry or apathetic — or just want to do something, but don't know how — MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country answers the question so many people are asking, "What can I do?"
