Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevouml;lkerungsgeographie; Stadt- u. Raumplanung; Note: 1;3; Europa-Universitauml;t Flensburg (ehem. Universitauml;t Flensburg); 21 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Diese Arbeit umfasst vier Kapitel. Im Anschluss an den einfuuml;hrenden Abschnitt werden im zweiten Kapitel die jeweils zwei bevouml;lkerungsreichsten Ballungsrauml;ume Europas; Afrikas; Asiens sowie Nord- und Suuml;damerikas vorgestellt. In diesem Kapitel wird insbesondere auf den heutigen Stand sowie die geschichtliche Stadtentwicklung eingegangen.Im dritten Kapitel wird dann die jeweils grouml;szlig;te Megastadt eines jeden Kontinents in Bezug auf ihre demographische Entwicklung vorgestellt und es wird die Basis fuuml;r einen Ergebnisvergleich geschaffen. Das vierte Kapitel schlieszlig;t die Arbeit schlieszlig;lich mit dem Ergebnisvergleich; einer Auseinandersetzung mit den erlangten Ergebnissen sowie einem Ausblick in die Zukunft ab.Auszlig;en vor bleibt in dieser Arbeit der Kontinent Australien; da die grouml;szlig;ten Metropolen Australiens und Neuseelands nicht als Megastauml;dte gelten und selbst in der Agglomeration weniger als 10 Millionen Einwohner haben. Des Weiteren werden die Megastauml;dte Indiens ausgelassen; da die grouml;szlig;te indische Stadt Bombay zwar die fuuml;nftgrouml;szlig;te Agglomeration der Welt; jedoch nur die drittgrouml;szlig;te Asiens ist. Ziel der Arbeit ist das Herausstellen von Unterschieden in der demographischen Entwicklung einzelner ausgewauml;hlter Megastauml;dte der Welt; insbesondere denen der Industriestaaten und denen der dritten Welt anhand geschichtlicher und sozialer Aspekte.

I wish Id read this years agoBy Mike RossanderA modern description of a historical event; this play describes the tribulations of Sir Thomas More during the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the newly-formed Church of England. The play lays out the historical details clearly and articulately. The writing is engaging and accessible. Most importantly; the depiction of More is true to everything we know about his personality and morals.The fascinating part for me is Mores approach to the law. There are some very memorable quotes in this play that anyone wanting to understand the law would do well to study. Mores character lays out some deep questions about the nature of proof. His situation (and the eventual resolution of his case) illustrate the continuing tension between law as a pure exercise in reason and law as an instrument of state power. Enjoyable as the play is; it is a cautionary tale.Wonderful as the story is; Bolts use of the Common Man and the frequent stage directions were a distraction to me - especially with all the hats. I understand the mood that Bolt was trying to set but whenever those parts of the play came around; they actually jolted me out of that mood.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wish it had been required reading in high schoolBy Elena M. MillerAs a community college student I believe this book would be an excellent addition to any list of political novels for required reading. Its theme is religious freedom; but its also about government; and how too much power to the center can influence everyones understanding of morality and values. Because King Henry the VIII said so; there were new definitions for marriage. Was he right? Most people now would say yes; but Thomas Moore speaks of objective truth and how it cannot be changed despite humanity willing it changed.If youre not into ethics; its also a character study. Robert Bolt isnt/wasnt Catholic; so this isnt him gushing about a saint; but he did make Thomas Moore entirely admirable and yet human. He was primarily a man of the law; and when he defends himself in the play he always goes by the law; not religious sentiment; so you see the other courtly figures conspiring against him by rewriting the rules in their favor.I could not put this down. Keep the cast of characters list handy so you can follow along in the beginning; but I promise youll find something to be drawn to. This is a classic.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Whats to discuss? This is a classic modern English ...By Leslie GerberWhats to discuss? This is a classic modern English play. Now that the Wolf Hall series is out; Thomas More is getting a much morecritical look. But; as a play (and movie); A Man for All Seasons is solidly in the canon.
