Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Social System, Social Structure, Class, Social Stratification, grade: 5, , language: English, abstract: The Ramakrishna Mission is a Hindu religious and spiritual organisation which forms the core of a worldwide spiritual movement known as the Ramakrishna Movement or the Vedanta Movement. As this mission bases its work on the Vedic principle of Karma Yoga, along with spiritual teaching, the organisation focuses on the socio-educational activities. In this book a vivid presentation is made regarding the Educational and philanthropic activities done by this mission for the spread of qualitative education, skill development, medical facilities, vocational training among girls. In the beginning the status of women and mission for women empowerment in global and Indian scenario is presented. Afterwards, the socio-cultural perception of Indian society towards women during the ancient, medieval and post-independence period and the individual and organisational initiatives, taken to ameliorate those conditions, are presented. In the following, the perception and contribution of three master minds, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sarada Devi and Vivekananda towards women empowerment are presented. Finally, the author shows the detailed works done by Ramakrishna mission in different places of West Bengal, India in order to provide quality education, medical facilities, and skill development in general and girls in particular. Women empowerment is a global mission due to its very spirit of inclusive development irrespective of caste, sex, colour, ethnicity or other facets of disadvantages but in the country like India the unequal treatment of women, differentiation of role, responsibility and status between male and women has a long rooted socio-cultural perspective. As result women are perceived as culturally devalued group. Although constitutional, legislative and policy measures are taken by the government of India for safeguard and upliftment of women, but the present data regarding differential developmental indictors like literacy, health, income, socio-political participation show that the development has not happened up to mark or at per the other gender.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Film Science, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: The film "King Kong" is one of the most famous films of Pre Code Hollywood. Its success was referred to the variety of topics and narratives that the film includes, combined with an excellent use of sound and special effects. This text lays the focus on the aspect of gender roles in the film. It will be shown that especially the figure of Ann Darrow embodies different stereotypes and that she can be seen as an example for an independent woman but also as a model for a more traditional image of womanhood. First of all the various contexts shall be presented (Historical context, men and women during the Great Depression and Hollywood during the Great Depression). After that follows a short analysis of two other important aspects, the Woman ́s film and the aspect of race in expedition films. Both of them are strongly interwoven with the question about gender roles in "King Kong". Finally the main characters in "King Kong" are going to be analyzed in view of the gender roles they embody and also how they change.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,5, University of Hull (Business School), course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: Today, most of the worldwide organisations consider the mission and mission statement of an organisation as an important principle. But are mission statements really necessary to be unique and successful in today’s business? And how such a mission statement of an organisation has to be formulated to be authentic, sharp and appropriate for the particular organisation? In the following essay, I would like to give the reader a theoretical background of mission and mission statement and discuss the role of mission statements. Therefore, in a first step the difference between mission and mission statement should be made clear. The reader should understand how such a mission statement has to be composed and what is the function behind all this. In a second step, appropriate examples of mission statements of several world-famous organisations from different industries will be shown, which gives the opportunity to discuss and scrutinize the role of mission statements in today’s world. The essay will be closed by a summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: The faith and development nexus is both a promising new focus for secular development agencies and a historic reality: for centuries, world faiths and individuals inspired by their faith have played many roles in social change and social welfare. Secular development agencies have largely operated in parallel to the world of faith-motivated development. The World Bank began in the late 1990s to explore ways in which faith and development are connected. The issue was not and is not about religion, but about the recognition that some of &… Show Morethe best experts on development are faith leaders living and working in poor communities, where strong ties and moral authority give them unique experience and insight. The World Bank's goal is to act as a catalyst and convenor, bringing together development practitioners to find common ground, understand one another's efforts, and explore differences. Development and Faith explores and highlights promising partnerships in the world between secular and faith development entities. It recounts the evolving history of relationships between faith and secular development institutions. It focuses on the Millennium Development Goals as a common framework for action and an opportunity for new forms of collaboration and partnership.

Book excerpt: Orientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism, religion, Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted. He shows us how religion needs to be reinterpreted along the lines of cultural studies. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers, such as Foucault, Gadamer, Said, and Spivak, King provides us with a challenging series of reflections on the nature of Religious Studies and Indology.

Book excerpt: India, once a major civilizational and economic power that suffered centuries of decline, is now newly resurgent in business, geopolitics and culture. However, a powerful counterforce within the American academy is systematically undermining core icons and ideals of Indic culture and thought. For instance, scholars of this counterforce have disparaged the Bhagavad Gita as a dishonest book ; declared Ganesha s trunk a limpphallus ; classified Devi as the mother with apenis and Shiva as a notorious womanizer who incites violence in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges of informed consent in medical intervention and research ethics, considering the global reality of multiculturalism and religious diversity. Even though informed consent is a gold standard in research ethics, its theoretical foundation is based on the conception of individual subjects making autonomous decisions. There is a need to reconsider autonomy as relational—where family members, community and religious leaders can play an important part in the consent process. The volume re-evaluates informed consent in multicultural contexts and features perspectives from Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It is valuable reading for scholars interested in bioethics, healthcare ethics, research ethics, comparative religions, theology, human rights, law and sociology.
