Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1,3, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, course: Umweltpolitik, language: English, abstract: While there can be no doubt that the modern information society does much to strenghthen the global sustainability movement, the mass media‘s shifting focus can also lead to serious problems when it comes to promoting those sustainability topics which do not make for interesting headlines and draw very little mediatic repercussion.

The emergence of new states as a chance for sustainability politics. The Catalan independence movement

The Real Nick and Nora
Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett wrote the screenplays for some of America's most treasured movies, including It's a Wonderful Life, The Thin Man, Easter Parade, Father of the Bride, Naughty Marietta, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Legendary films, indeed, but writing both the play and screenplay for The Diary of Anne Frank was their crowning achievement. Controlled chaos best describes their writing method. They discussed a scene at length, sometimes acting it out. Afterwards, they each wrote a draft, which they exchanged. "Then," Frances said, "began 'free criticism'--which sometimes erupted into screaming matches." Noisy and contentious, the method worked splendidly. Enormously s...
God's Littlest Miracle
