U101: Global Perspectives A Semester Course for First-Year Students

This capstone paper introduces a special section of the already existing, and quite successful, University 101 programs at the University of South Carolina (USC). U101: Global Perspectives is a semester-long program proposal for first-year students (freshman and transfer students), offered by the Study Abroad Office (SAO) at USC. Functioning as part of the Global Carolina initiative, the USC SAO is committed to providing students with the knowledge and cultural awareness to be responsible and successful citizens in today’s globally integrated world. With the goal of increasing the number of students studying abroad, as well as creating unique opportunities for students during their first year on campus, the SAO has created a new course. The beginning of the course will focus on various cultural identifiers (i.e. religion, literature, film, language, politics, history, and food) in the larger context. The curriculum will lead students through a deeper way of thinking about culture and will become more specific throughout the semester. During Fall Break, students will travel to Quebec City, Canada to conduct research on the cultural identifier that they have chosen. Upon returning to campus, individual research projects will be presented on campus. U101: Global Perspectives seeks to contribute to the field of programming for first-year students, with this capstone paper serving as the initial steps towards adoption by USC

THE RULE OF LAW

This text is a lecture that Rainer Faupel gavein Belgrade on 21.04.2009. Few years ago on the summit of G-8 in Berlin he also gave the lecture about the Rule of law.. In this text he talks about general definitions of the notion of the Rule of law, but also pays special attention to some social, cultural and political factors that must be fulfilled if we want to establish the Rule of law in one country. In that sense he pointed out sveral factors, such as education in professional and ethical standards, building confidence in state institutions, the role of free press and media, cultural changes, political support, etc.Rainer Faupel je rođen 1938 godine u Nemačkoj i nakon studija prava u Minhenu i Frankfurtu, počeo je da radi kao naučni saradnik na Univerzitetu. Jedno vreme radio je kao sudija za radne sporove, a takođe i kao funkcioner Saveznog Ministarstva pravde u Bonu. Nakon ujedinjenja Nemačke, bio je državni sekretar u Ministarstvu pravde. Od 1999. radi kao arbitar i konsultant, a bio je i u Beogradu kao šef nekoliko projekata finansiranih od strane EU, u sklopu izgradnje kapaciteta Srbije u oblasti pravosuđa. Ovaj tekst predstavlja njegovo predavanje, koje je on održao na Kolarcu u Beogradu 21.04.2009. Na istu temu, gospodin Faupel je pre nekoliko godina održao predavanje na konferenciji G-8 u Berlinu. U ovom tekstu, on govori o pojmu vladavine prava i različitim definicijama tog pojma, a posebnu pažnju posvećuje nekim socijalnim, političkim i kulturnim faktorima, koji se moraju ispuniti da bi se uopšte moglo govoriti o vladavini prava. U tom smislu, on posebno ističe pitanja obrazovanja i etičkih standarda, zatim pitanje izgradnje poverenja u državne institucije, zatim ulogu i značaj slobode štampe, zatim promene u oblasti kulture i političku podršku

Modellierung räumlicher Interaktionssysteme während der frühen Eisenzeit: Rekonstruktion und Modellierung vergangener Infrastruktur-, Interaktions- und Distributionssysteme in Südwestdeutschland und dem Elsaß

The princely seats' interaction relationships clearly show that distant places or groups of people appear particularly intensively as interaction partners, while in some cases even the surrounding groups appear culturally alien. The more locally distributed artefacts partly offset this impression; for example, the pottery type combinations occasionally show a local connection of the princely seats. This preferential interaction with distant groups creates precisely this strangeness to the local spectrum and highlights the princely seats' unique find association. The often reoccurring cultural dissimilarity of the Swabian Alb to the princely seats is striking, which cannot only be explained by the source-critical effects, like an inevitable dominance of burial mounds on the Swabian Alb with lacking settlements
