As you see in the graph the trade cycle begins with revival, recovery and expansion of a depression time period, where the economie wasn't so well. The business activities st ...

Austria has made a significant contribution to advances in the fields of science and technology. It must be said, however that the achievements of our scientists, engineers, technologists and inventors have not always received the same degree of public acclaim as the work of Austria's great cultural figures. This lead to the fact that most of the famous Austrian scientists had almost no chance to become as well known as their colleges in the Unit ...

Why do we need international trade? Because of the different climate or rough materials. If you want to have bananas you can buy Austrian, but if there are Austrian ones, they are very expensive. So we have to import bananas from a country in which they can be produced cheaper. Even if we need rough materials, which we do not have in Austria, we have to buy them from elsewhere.
Different stages of education cause that not every country can pr ...

The History of the Internet
In the year 1969 the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) assigned the US Ministry of Defence to create a computer net, which should firstly ensure the communication in case of a nuclear attack and secondly enable the collaboration between several research institutes.
The ARPANET was created that way and was soon the link between several American universities.
How we experience the Internet nowadays cannot be ...

The history of King Lear and his three daughters is an old British legend.
In his interpretation Shakespeare takes different sources; the main character is supposed to be taken from "The True Chronicle History of King Leir". It is very odd for Shakespeare's way of writing that the plot changes so abrupt and all of a sudden. He abridges and concentrates the main plot and develops the material of a relatively irrelevant play into a tragedy, th ...

Interpretation:
This is a love story but not an ordinary one since it describes the lives of four people who are ralated to one another. The plot describes four lives in two decades but these are built up chronologically. The action is quite complex since the reader does not know how the different characters are related to one another, this turns out step by step and only in the ending one can understand the whole relationship of the characters, ...

Indeed "Romeo and Juliet" is the most popular drama of William Shakespeare. This tragic lovestory touches many humans nad is been the original for lots of movies. I want to take a closer look on the second scene of the second act - the so-called balcony scene which concludes the second meeting of Romeo and Juliet. Both are very excited emotionally.
The scene begins with the advance of Romeo at Juliet´s balcony and his secret observation of J ...

Into the Interior!
The end of the 18-century mapped Ausralia´s coastline. There were many theories about what could be on the other side of the Blue Mountains. Some people thought, the land was rich and fertile. But others believed it was dry and marshland. A telegraph line was needed to set up a connection with Australia to the rest of the world. The first men suffered terrible hardships and some lost their lives. In 1859 the government of Aus ...
