...Han sukker dybt og åbner hoveddøren, og ude foran døren står gæsterne. Heldigvis nåede han at blive færdig med at gøre klar inden gæsterne kom. Alle 14 gæster har et stort smil på læben og siger derefter hej og giver ham et kram. Hvor er din søde kæreste, vi har en lille gave med, siger gæsterne og går ind i stuen. Latter og snak fra gæsterne fylder hele huset. Panikken breder sig i ansigtet på ham, og han ryster en smule. Han siger, at de manglede en stol, så hun ville lige gå rundt i nabolaget for at høre, om der var nogen der havde en ledig stol. Der er gået en halv time, og hun er stadig ikke dukket op. Han rører rundt i gryden med den mørkerøde sovs, som hun havde forberedt. Jeg kan ikke det her, de bliver nødt til at gå, jeg kan ikke det her, mumler han for sig selv. Han begynder at græde, og prøver at holde sin hulken inde. I ren frustration, tænder han en cigaret og tager utallige sug. Et par hæle banker mod det kolde trægulv, og ind kommer en af gæsterne. Han tørrer hurtigt tårerne væk fra sine kinder og lader som ingenting. Står det til herude, og hvor bliver hun af, hun har været væk lige siden vi kom, spørger hun og læner sig op ad køkkenbordet. Han hælder sovsen op i en kande, og stiller den på køkkenbordet. Hun burde være her hurtigst muligt, måske er der ingen hjemme i nabolaget, mumler han og tager stegen ud af ovnen. Det oser inde i køkkenet. Der er tavshed i et minuts tid. Hun spørger ind til deres forhold, og om de stadig har det godt sammen. Frygten stråler...

...Opgave 4: Essay om Magt Magt og autoritet Magt er et meget interessant emne. Ordet kan have forskellige aspekter såsom kontrol og indflydelse, og anvendes i mange sammenhænge. Ordet magt kommer fra det tyske ord ”Macht”. Den grundlæggende betydning peger mod situationer, hvor nogle mennesker tvinger dres vilje igennem fx ved brug af vold, love og regler. Magt er evnen til at påvirke andre, for eksempel i en debat ville man beskrive det mest indflydelsesrige hold som det mere magtfulde holde. Denne kontekst af magt findes også i historien. Et eksempel der kunne være tale om er Adolf Hitler, der med sine kraftfulde, indflydelsesrige og propaganda taler, var i stand til at hjernevaske, påvirke og styre en hel nation. Hitler havde magt i så høj en grad at mennesker adlød hans mindste befaling uden at stille spørgsmålstegn ved deres egne grufulde handlinger, og historien gentager sig fx i Mao Zedongs tilfælde der også havde en fantastisk evne til påvirke en hel nation ved hjælp af sine taler. Magt og penge En anden ting der kunne give en person magt, ud over at være en god taler, kunne være penge. Mange mennesker mener at penge er magt og magt er penge. Denne type magt bliver brugt hver eneste dag i vores liv, når vi bruger penge på at købe forskellige ting, når vi giver penge til folk i bytte for varer eller tjenesteydelser. For eksempel hvis nogen hyrer en tjenestepige, hun bliver betalt penge for bl.a. at gøre huset rent osv. Som tjenestepige kan hun...

...about her perception of the Law of Jante was that “it’s bullshit”. Later in the day, I asked another woman of roughly the same age, named Ida, the same question, and I was astonished that she had the exact same response. Both women went further into their beliefs of the law, but tended to have a negative connotation with the theory. On the contrary, many individuals, mostly older, thought the law showed a sign of respect and added a submissive humbleness to Danes and their culture. Rasmus, a middle-aged man who was very enthusiastic and enlightening with his response, stated that it was a reputable theory that was seen and apart of the Danish culture, but also stated that it hindered individuals from talking about the success in their life. Even though it was not apart of the assignment, I went ahead and asked a few individuals who were not Danish their perception of the law and once again found another perception. These individuals...

...Eating Sugar The short story written by Catherine Merriman named ”Eating Sugar, was originally published in ”Getting a life”, Honno, in 2001. A third person narrator tells the short story and furthermore the narrator is omniscient. It seems to me that the time is not important in this short story. On the contrary the environment, the surroundings, are described into details. In this analysis I have chosen to focus on the description of the surroundings, a short analysis of Eileen and Alex and their relation, an analysis of the title “Eating Sugar” in comparison with the contents of the short story. Furthermore I have chosen to take the extract of the essay “A Small Place” and the picture “Tourists 2” into perspective. Finally I will discuss the globalization of the English language in the world today. In the short story we meet a family of three, Alex, the father, Eileen, the mother and their daughter Suzanne. Eileen works as a teacher in Thailand, where they live, and the moment she gets her Thai New Year holiday they decide to become tourists. They go on a trip with other holidaying Thais but when they decide to leave the paradise the small British family of three decide to stay so that they can have the small paradise to themselves. Alex and Eileen have been together most of their lives at least since the 1970s. Together they have tried LSD and they have also travelled to Yugoslavia hitchhiking - long-haired innocents as Alex himself calls it. Alex starts...

...Despite being the most peaceful country in the world for the past seven years in a row according to the Global Peace Index from the Institute for Economics and Peace, there exists an inconsistency between what appears to be true and the reality of what is true in Iceland. Isolated with a modest population, not much is known of the island-country of Iceland outside of Europe. Since little news of Iceland (or Scandinavia as a whole) is broadcast to the Americas, the social issues must be shared in a different manner. Scandinavian crime novelists have “transformed the genre into a sort of thrilling social exposé of matters both big and small” (Michaelis 17). Through their writings, readers around the world are able to learn about the problems within Scandinavia. In Jar City, Arnaldur Indridason displays the Icelanders’ sentiments towards the amount of violence and crime, their distrust towards the police and doctors, and their concerns over the collection of genetic data in their country. The novel begins with a series of crimes within the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik. A stranger attempts to rob a house but beats up two women in the process. Meanwhile, an elderly man named Holberg is found murdered in his nearby flat. The lead detective on the case, Erlendur, remarks at the murder scene that it was another “typical Icelandic murder” (Indridason 6), suggesting that this was a common occurrence. During the murder investigation, secrets from Holberg’s past are uncovered. Holberg...

...Bad decision making: The German food chain LIDL in Norway LIDL is a global discount supermarket chain from Germany. Since 1988 the company expanded to 21 states e.g. Italy, France, Great Britain, Spain and many Eastern European countries. In 2004 LIDL entered the Norwegian marked. Norway at this point had no real low price food market and the LIDL managers were sure of having a big advantage using their low price strategy and without having competitors in that field. After only four years the company announced its withdrawal from Norway due to sustained losses and all the stores were sold to a Norwegian supermarket chain. What happened? The Norwegian people avoided LIDL because they favoured their traditional brands and small shops over the imported products and the big LIDL-stores. Three psychological traps that undermined the decision of the LIDL management should be highlighted: Sunk-Cost Trap: After LIDL realized the absence of success in 2006, they decided not to rethink their local strategy but to open another 20 new stores in the capital Oslo. The management tried to compensate former losses by increasing the number of stores. Confirming-Evidence Trap: Klaus Gehrig, chairman of the board, is said to be the power behind the strict expansion policy. He justified the Norwegian expansion by referring to the success in other countries but fades out Sweden and Denmark, where LIDL suffered from similar problems. Estimating and Forecasting Trap: The LIDL managers...

Copyright © 2008, Ivey Management Services Educational material supplied by The Case Centre Copyright encoded A76HM-JUJ9K-PJMN9I Order reference F240103 Version: (A) 2008-06-24 INTRODUCTION Director Allan Rasmussen took a good deal of pride in the achievements of Coloplast A/S1 (Coloplast) in Tatabánya, Hungary. In consecutive quarters in 2004, the plant had outperformed the company’s longer established Danish production units in quality levels (see Exhibit 1). Rasmussen had been the Tatabánya plant’s manager, its first, since 2001. Just three and a half years later, he was responsible for the daily management of a plant with a head count of 550 and production valued at 1.5 billion Danish kroner (DKK). In 2005, he resumed his position as director of Coloplast’s Danish subsidiary and returned to Denmark. With the Hungarian operation, Coloplast had learned important lessons in designing and implementing a relocation process, and in managing the communication involved. Although Coloplast had some minor production facilities outside of Denmark, the scope of its involvement in Hungary was unparalleled. When the expansion was completed, the Hungarian unit would employ 900 staff — roughly 15 per cent of the company’s total workforce. Coloplast’s involvement in Tatabánya was part of the...

...Immigration in London The article ”I feel like a stranger where I live”, written by Jane Kelly in January 2013, deals with Jane Kelly’s understanding of the Muslim immigrants, their religion and their culture, and which consequences it has brought a long, since they settled down in the same area in a foreign country. But is the clash of cultures in reality a problem? And will we one day be able to live side by side each other, or are the cultural differences simply too big? One thing is for sure, and that is, that Jane Kelly certainly expresses her frustrations and irritations towards the immigrants living around her, in the text “I feel like a stranger where I live”. The text takes place in west London, in a city called Acton Vale, where Jane Kelly lives. On one hand the text can be interpret, as if Jane Kelly is slightly racist, but on the other hand it can be interpret as a cry out for help, because she actually wishes to live among the immigrants, and share a community with them. Some of the sentences in her text has a racist undertone, for example: “Most of the shops are now owned by Muslims and even the fish and chip shop and Indian takeaway are Halal. It seems that almost overnight it’s changed from Acton Vale into Acton Veil” (p. 1, l. 6-8). This part particularly seems to indicate, that Jane Kelly has a grudge in general against immigrants, as she attaches importance to the fact, that it is Muslims, who she is talking about. And she’s even joking about, that...

...American values The American values are very different from the Danish. In their world every man owns their own luck, but in Denmark we have to help the weak, which we do through our taxes. In Denmark nobody is really rich, because the richest people pay more to society, so that the poor people do not have to pay anything. If you get rich in America, it is all on you. It is not your responsibility to help the poor. Some famous people choose to do it anyways through charity, but the question is, if this is mostly to promote themselves, or if it is actually to help people. Looking at Hofstedes 4 dimensions, there are also a lot of differences between the Danish and the American culture. Power distance is the first dimension. America has a lot of power distance compared to Denmark. They have some Christian societies, where the pastor is above everyone else. But this is very different from place to place. America is so big, so there are also other places, where there is very little power distance, but I still think Denmark takes the title as the Country with the least power distance. It is very rare, that you see an American call their teacher by first name. The next dimension is collectivism vs. individualism. As I wrote in the beginning, America is a country for individualists, where the personal freedom fills the most, while Denmark is very collectivistic, where we help the weakest, so everybody have an income even though some people do not even have a job. Uncertainty avoidance...

Smith introduced fractional distillation that produces liquor without fusel alcohol in Sweden in 1877, under the name "Tiodubbelt Renadt Brännvin" (Tenfold Purified Vodka). Brännvin literally means "burn-wine" and is analogous to the German "Branntwein". The term is also used in Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic.[citation needed] ("Vodka" was not used for Swedish liquor until 1958, with the potato-based Explorer Vodka.) The name was changed to "Absolut Rent Brännvin" (Absolutely Pure Vodka) by Smith to market his much improved product. [1] Smith challenged the city of Stockholm's liquor marketing monopoly with his vodka. It was sold at a lower price than the monopoly's product, just outside the city border. Smith even offered free boat rides to the distillery and "Rent Brännvin" made Smith a fortune.[1] In 1917, the alcohol industry in Sweden was monopolized by the Swedish government. Vodka was then sold nationwide under the name "Absolut Rent Brännvin". The name changed with intervals, Renat Brännvin or Absolut Rent Brännvin. In 1979, the old name Absolut was picked up when the upper-price range ABSOLUT VODKA was introduced. Renat is still a euphemism...

...Anmeldelse af ”Torbens datter” Anmeldt af Mads Bakkensen Johansen, 1m på Fredericia Gymnasium, d. 18. januar 2016. Riddervisen ”Torbens datter” er skrevet af en ukendt forfatter. Teksten handler om en fader til mange børn, som bliver slået ihjel af nogle fra en anden familie. Torben tilbyder hans datter, men de vil kun have hans hjerteblod. Efterfølgende ridder Torbens mordere hjem til hans gård. Der står Torbens datter. Hun charmerer sig ind på Torbens mordere, og da fortryder de deres gerning og tager derfor Torbens datter med. Jeg mener, at riddervisens temaer er hævn og ære. Jeg har valgt disse to temaer, da morderne vil tage hævn på Torben – af den ene eller anden grund. Samtidig handler det dog også om ære, da Torbens mordere opdager, at Torbens datter er så skøn og god fortryder de deres handling. Derfor tager de Torbens datter med for at beholde deres ære og vise omsorg – selvom de i første omgang havde takket nej til hende. Teksten er skrevet på en velovervejet måde. Ordvalget er fint at læse og forstå, samtidig med at det hverken er for nemt eller for svært. Jeg kan rigtig godt lide, at der er parrim næsten hele teksten igennem, det skaber et lækkert flydende flow. Dog kan jeg ikke lide at teksten har så meget dialog. Det kan være ret forvirrende at finde rundt i, men hvis man læser “Torbens datter” igennem to-tre gange bliver det hele mere forståeligt. Samtidig undrer jeg mig også over, at Torbens datter ikke gør mere ved situationen end som så. Hun...
