Hello everyone! I have just watched the trailer of the movie „Outsourced“, which talks about the cultural differences between American and Indian business life. Today I want to give you some information about the movie regarding the employees culture and outsourcing. Basically what it talks about is that an american guy, who is travelling to Mumbai should learn the people, who are working in the call center, the American culture and mentality. The employees there have an own cultural identity and it is difficult for them to learn the American style. Typical Indian topics like the holy cows or the colourful Holi-festival also play a significan role in the movie. I think it is a very interesting topic, as outsourcing is getting more and more in the future. What do you think about outsourcing?   That is all for today! Thank you for reading! Yours, Kristina

Good morning Mr Wartner, good morning classmates, welcome to my press review. I was reading an article the other day in the online edition of „BBC“ news and it talks about the Brexit process and that Jean-Claude Juncker has had enough. For all of you who do not know immediately who he is: Jean-Claude Juncker is a Luxembourg politician, serving as president of the European Comission from 2014 until now. He served as the 23rd Prime Minister of Luxembourg from 1995 to 2013, and was also the Minister for Finances from 1989 to 2009. Jean-Claude Juncker is also very famous for extravagant pronouncements and gestures like kissing EU leaders on the foreheard or playfully slapping their face. I thought you might be interested because everyone of you has heard about the Brexit process and knows how long it already takes. I am sure that it is an interesting topic to get to know more about Mr Junckers opinion about Brexit. Basically what it says is that Mr Juncker thought tha...

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first entry this school year. Altough it is a bit busy because of our prom night in November sometimes, everything is going well in general. What about you? In our last English lesson we were talking about Stereotypes in different countries. What shocked me most was that 42 % of households in America own guns. Another thing which surprised me was that for every 100 U.S. resident are 120,5 guns. In 2019 has been occured more than one mass shooting per day on average. That is an total unbelievable number.   Another things which were very interesting in this lesson were the thoughts of Americans about stereotypically Austrian. Most of the Americans don’t even know Austria and where it is and if they do, they think it is the same as Germany. Us Austrians put much vulue not to compare us to Germany especially not to think as equal. Another Americans confound Austria with Australia, that is why many think of Kangaroos when they think ab...

Hey everyone!   In our last English lesson we were talking about CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility. Today I am going to give you some information about.   There are different opinions about CSR, some think it helps to improve the reputation and profit margins for companies, others think it just costs money for businesses, while others think that businesses are doing it to help the environment and the society and on the other side some think it is just a marketing technique.   CSR has many different forms, both social and environmental. As an example to use fair trade goods to create products or to sell fair trade goods, to ensure that no animal testing occurs or to use less energy and fuel.   In my mind CSR is not an option for every business. Of course, it is a great idea, but there are companies which have to focus on core business. Small companies are not able to spend money on unnecessary frills like this. I totally understand this, but ...

Good morning Mr. Wartner, good morning classmates, welcome to my press review.   I was reading an article the other the day in the online edition of Independent and it talks about the increase of biological age in comparison to the chronological age when you live healthy. The article was written by the mind-body fitness professional and writer Gabriella Boston and it was published on Monday 1 April 2019.   I thought you might be interested because everyone of us is getting older and I am sure everyone wants to stay young, have no back pains and is awake after 6 hours of sleep. So, let me now give you some information about the article.   Basically, the article is about is how the chronological age does not mean much when you live a healthy lifestyle. It is mentioned in the text that the chronological age just dictates the number of years you have been alive, but it is your biological age that can predict how long you will live.   As we know smoking ...

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about Social Media websites and their upgoing or down going trends. More people spend their freetime on Social Media. It is an interesting activity to get information, share pictures or meet new friends. Some people like to give advices to other people and help them. Others use it as a diary and share their adventures. I also use Social Media websites like Whatsapp or Instagram. Whatsapp is great to communicate to new friends. It is easy to text them, call them or make a video call.  Instagram is a great platform to share pictures. Sometimes I share one of my friends, my family or myself, too. It is important for me to have a private account, that means I am only accepting people to follow me I know.  In comparison to these platforms I do not use Facebook or Twitter. In know, that some of my friends have an account on Facebook but they do not check it regularly. I do not know many people who use Twitter. The line graph...
