Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Nations, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: Museums are cultural, educational and civic centers of communities. In the past museums served only a small group of people. Furthermore a lot of the museums in the past saw their mission in lecturing and educating their visitors with the exhibition of objects. But the role of museums has changed in the last years. Due to demographic changes in the societies themuseums serve, they are now in a situation where they have to compete with other institutions like zoos or cinemas. Potential visitors can choose nowadays how to spend their leisure time.In order to further guarantee financial income a lot of museums have adapted strategies of the areas of business and economy. The developed marketing strategies and frameworks to measure success and accountability.But even more important are the changes museums made and are still making regarding to their mission and their interaction with the surrounding community. Museums nowadays are moving away from the old habit of teaching their visitor in a static and lecturing way. Instead they focus on aspects like participation and the involvement of their visitors. Additionally they began to outreach for other institutions like schools or universities to provide a worthy educational experience for both sides. The present museums must reflect the voices, needs and interests of the communities they serve, in order to survive.Therefore museums are evolving away from being isolated islands of teaching to places of gathering and exchange. They become forums that not just display objects but also invite discussions, evoke concerns and foster ideas like critical thinking within their community. It is obvious that the way how museums interact with their community has become broader and not necessarily easier to articulate. But what are communities? Usually a community is a group of people that shares a physical space like a room, a city or a country. Furthermore a community can also share certain traits, characteristics or ideals. Communities can interact which each other and establish a certain social identity. It becomes visible that communities are not closed entities, they are open constructs that are connected with other communities in various ways.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Stadthöfe sowie die Festkultur des Adels waren Teil der adligen Existenz im Mittelalter. Inwieweit sie ein Teil des komplexen Prestige-/Ehrensystems des Adels waren und somit zur Grundlage der Herrschaft gehörten, soll diese Arbeit erläutern.Zu Beginn wird ein kurzer Abriss über die Städte und deren Entwicklung im Mittelalter stehen, dem der Sachverhalt des ¿Adels in der Stadt¿ folgt. Hierbei wird auf das Verhältnis zwischen Adligen und Stadtbewohnern eingegangen und warum es den Adel überhaupt in die Stadt zog. Anschließend liegt das Augenmerk auf den adligen Stadthöfen einschließlich einer Definition, der Architektur und der Funktion der Höfe. Anhand von drei Beispielstädten sollen darüberhinaus die vielfältigen Situationen von Adelshöfen in mittelalterlichen Städten angeführt werden. Der zweite Themenkomplex setzt sich mit der adligen Festkultur auseinander, wobei neben Sinn und Zweck eines Festes im Mittelalter und der eigentlichen Ausrichtung bzw. Durchführung auch der Begriff der Ehre und des Prestiges erläutert werden soll. Die Informationen stammen aus unterschiedlicher Literatur, wo neben den Werken von Werner Paravicini, Regina Schäfer, Arend Mindermann und Jaques Heers besonders das Werk von Marcus Weidner hinsichtlich seiner Forschungen in Münster erwähnt werden sollte. Dort ist einer der seltenen Definitionsansätze eines Stadthofes zu finden. Der Themenkomplex an sich ist bis heute von der Forschung nur unzureichend untersucht. So beschränkte man sich lange Zeit nur auf Einzelobjekte oder nur auf die Architektur, ohne übergreifende Zusammenhänge und den sozio-kulturellen Hintergrund zu behandeln. In der jüngeren Forschung beschäftigt sich neben den Geschichtswissenschaften aber auch die Rechts-, Sozial- und Kunstwissenschaft mit diesem Sachverhalt.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Neueste Geschichte, Europäische Einigung, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Social Movements are one of the main forms of collectives that formulate a goal they want to achieve. This occurs under the use of various strategies to show their demands like collective protests and demonstrations. Social Movements are an important vehicle for the public to gain attention and formulate needs. In the society those Movements are standing next to other more institutionalized ways of protests, so they are an actor among others. Today Social Movements represent an important part of the social landscape. They are different movements dealing with a lot of topics like abortion, human and civil rights, environmental protection, women etc. Also the Movements can have a global or a local nature. According to the development of Social Movements the researchers David A. Snow, Sarah A. Soule and Hanspeter Kriesi suggested that the society of the 21st century can be characterized as a movement society. One important step for the development and the proliferation of Social Movements are the 1960s. Even if there is no consensus among the scholars about the exact impact, the 1960s form a remarkable step in the history of Social Movements. In Germany this step was represented by the Student Movement of 1968 that, even if most of the political goals the movement wanted to achieve failed, played an important role.Social movements are fuzzy phenomena and moving targets so it is difficult to give a definition about them. In structural terms a social movement is like a network of individuals, groups and or organizations. A network has no top and no clear center that could steer and control the whole of its activities Also the use of collective public protest is a key strategy of any social movement to pursue their goal. These strategies can also include the use of violence. This homework is going to show the connection of the Social Movement in Germany 1968, their image and their use of violence, together with the most extreme form of violence, the terrorism of the RAF.
