It's the central remnant of the ancient Tweed Volcano, which was active around 23 million years ago³. Geological SignificanceThe area around Mount Warning is geologically significant due to its volcanic history. The mountain itself is a volcanic plug, a hardened lava core that was left after the exterior of the volcano eroded away. This plug marks the center of what was once a massive shield volcano, the Tweed Volcano, which has shaped much of the landscape in this region³. Ecological ImportanceThe surrounding area, including Wollumbin National Park, is part of the Scenic Rim and is recognized for its rich biodiversity. It's home to a variety of plant and animal species, some of which are threatened or endangered. The park is also identified as an Important Bird Area due to its conservation value for several species of threatened birds². Cultural HeritageFor the Bundjalung people, Wollumbin is…

Community

Credit phb Family first and community spirit are values that emphasize the importance of maintaining strong and supportive relationships with one's family and community members. They are often based on shared cultural, spiritual, and ancestral ties, as well as mutual respect and cooperation. Neighbours first and mutual help and support are related concepts that stress the benefits of helping and caring for one's neighbours, especially in times of need or crisis. They are based on the idea that neighbours are an extension of one's family and community, and that by working together, they can overcome challenges and improve their wellbeing. Coffee News OZ | Credit phb These concepts are widely practiced and promoted by various groups and organizations around the world, especially among indigenous and minority communities. For example, in Australia, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people value family and community as central to their social and emotional wellbeing, and have developed family support services and community participation programs to enhance their connection and resilience¹²³. Similarly, in other countries, such as Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, indigenous and ethnic communities have also established family and community-based initiatives to preserve their culture, identity, and rights .

Jean Paul

Luftschiffe | Balloon Jean Paul was a German writer and humorist who lived from 1763 to 1825. He is considered one of the most original and influential authors of the Romantic era. His works are characterized by rich imagination, stylistic experimentation, and social criticism. ¹ One of his works is Des Luftschiffers Giannozzo Seebuch, a satirical narrative that was published in 1801 as part of the Komischer Anhang zum Titan (Comic Appendix to Titan), a collection of humorous pieces that accompanied his novel Titan. ² Des Luftschiffers Giannozzo Seebuch tells the story of Giannozzo, a balloonist who flies over various European countries and observes the follies and vices of the people below. 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. He expresses his disdain for the human race and his longing for freedom and solitude. ²³ Vorschlag Facharbeit Klasse 12 / Gymnasium Choose a specific topic or question that interests you.

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…
