He mocks the petty and superficial aspects of society, such as fashion, politics, religion, and literature. He also contrasts the corrupted and artificial civilization with the natural and idealized landscapes of Italy and Switzerland.

Mythos Montessori

Sonntag, 3. März 2024 Zur Online-AnsichtFamilie  Wenn der Name Maria Montessori fällt … Werde ich immer ganz still! Ich weiss, dass ich nichts weiss. Den Mythos Steiner habe ich verdaut! Mehr im Newsletter: „Montessoris Ziel“, stellt Sabine Seichter fest, „war die Herstellung des perfekten Kindes: ohne Makel, körperlich, ästhetisch, moralisch, intellektuell vollkommen.“ Einer der Grundgedanken ihrer Arbeit sei die Unterscheidung zwischen „normalen“ und „anormalen“ Kindern gewesen: „Damit sich die ,normalen‘ Kinder uneingeschränkt und unbehindert entwickeln können, müssten die ,Anormalen‘ separiert werden. Also eher Exklusion statt Inklusion zum Wohle einer prosperierenden Gesellschaft.“ „Sie spricht von ,Monstern‘ oder ,Parasiten‘ der Gesellschaft“: So hat Julia Schaaf ihr Interview mit Sabine Seichter über den Mythos Montessori überschrieben.

Gulag | Hope Dies Last

Credit phb Tannenberg | Credit phb Rest In Peace | Credit phb True Love Never Fades … Mark Knopfer Music Is The Language Linked ___ +++ ___ The Gulag Archipelago is a history and memoir of life in the Soviet Union’s prison camp system by Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It was first published in Paris in three volumes in 1973–75. It devastated readers outside the Soviet Union with its descriptions of the brutality of the Soviet regime². Solzhenitsyn was a prisoner himself, having been arrested in 1945 for criticizing Stalin in a private letter. He spent eight years in various camps, mostly in the harsh Siberian region known as the Taiga. There he witnessed and experienced the horrors of the Gulag, where millions of people perished from starvation, disease, torture, and execution. How did Solzhenitsyn survive such a nightmare? One of the answers is hope. Solzhenitsyn wrote that “hope dies last” in the Gulag, meaning that as long as one had a glimmer of hope for freedom, justice, or redemption, one could endure the suffering and resist the dehumanization of the system. Solzhenitsyn never gave up hope, even when he faced death or despair. He clung to his faith, his conscience, and his love for his country and his family. He also found hope in his writing, which he considered his moral duty and his way of bearing witness to the…

Silence is golden …

So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me because I, too, am fluent in silence. But an avid reader, and this for sure! Hegel's Weltgeist, or "world spirit," is a complex idea that refers to the unfolding of reason and consciousness throughout history. He believed that history progresses through a series of conflicts and contradictions, ultimately leading to a state of greater freedom and self-awareness. Marx, a young Hegelian, initially adopted this concept but reinterpreted it in a more materialist way. He saw the Weltgeist as not a spiritual force but as the collective activity of humans, driven by economic and social conditions. This shift laid the foundation for Marx's critique of capitalism and his vision of a communist society. Karl Marx and Hegel (Reception) to be continued … Marx's visions of communism have been debated for centuries, with various factors cited as contributing to their shortcomings in practice in Western Societies. Here are some key points to consider plus the intercultural Gaps: Economic Challenges: Central planning: Implementing large-scale central planning proved difficult, often leading to inefficiencies and shortages. Individual incentives: Critics have argued that communist systems lacked mechanisms to effectively motivate individuals and encourage innovation. Political Challenges: Authoritarianism: The transition to a stateless, classless society envisioned by Marx often resulted in authoritarian regimes, contradicting the principles of individual freedom and democracy. Power imbalances: The concentration of power in the hands of the state or…

1988 – Arno A Evers Pressearbeit – Zukunft und Innovation

Arno A Evers Ein wunderbares Beispiel für Zukunft und Innovation aus dem Jahr 1988 und wie junge Menschen zum Erfolg gebracht werden: Bildung und Ausbildung und grenzenlosen Vertrauen in das Potential junger Menschen. Vorbildlich. Mehr davon: Wir müssen die Erfolgsmeldungen als Teil des Alltags begreifen und dürfen uns nicht hinter einer Mauer des Wehklagens verstecken. Es gibt viele Erfolgsgeschichten, jeden Tag. In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist eine Haltung, die uns motiviert, unser Bestes zu geben, und die uns erfüllt, wenn wir es geschafft haben. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns hilft, unser Potenzial zu entfalten, und die uns inspiriert, andere zu unterstützen. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns Freude bereitet, und die uns dankbar macht. In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist mehr als ein Motto, es ist eine Lebensphilosophie. Nach diesem Prinzip haben Arno A Evers und ich über Jahrzehnte gelebt und gearbeitet. Deshalb sind wir Freunde geworden, sozusagen seelenverwandt. Und wir tauschen uns aus, obwohl Arno auf Samal Island in seinem selbstgeschaffenen Paradies lebt, wo ich ihn im Sommer 2023 besucht habe, und ich an der Gold Coast in Queensland lebe seit 2012. Weit weg von unserer gemeinsamen Heimat Raum Hamburg. Truly Northern, Nordlichter, eben … Credit Arno A Evers

My Dream Home

Write about your dream home. My dream home has two levels, medium sized rooms to withdraw and no room for any cars. My cars are parked under a roof outside my home. My piece of land is rather small, grass in front of the house and a lawn behind the house with a large deck. There is a fence and a rather large pool for myself, my wife and our grandchildren and many tropical plants. The main colour is lush green. And blue for the pool, the colour of the sky. And some rather small palm trees.
