Eine Streitschrift über die Missstände der Schulpolitik von der Stimme einer empörten Generation. Deutschlands ehemaliger oberster Schülersprecher Dario Schramm ist einer der schärfsten und profiliertesten Kritiker der Schulpolitik seit dem ersten Lockdown und klagt an: Wie kann es sein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche nicht nach ihren Bedürfnissen gefragt werden?

Und wieso wird die Lufthansa mit einem Milliarden-Paket gerettet, während es an Schulen immer noch mit Luftfiltern und schnellem Internet hapert?

We all need to make a retreat. To find a few moments in our busy lives to try to stop worrying and fretting about so many different things, and to sit in silence at God’s feet and just to listen. A retreat is simply an attempt to see beyond the 101 cares and occupations we normally have and to ask ourselves, ‘Where it is all leading? What’s the purpose of it all?’ Time to Change takes the basic format and principles of The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and allows us to make a retreat without interrupting too much your ordinary daily life and all the things you have to do.

Peut-on être enraciné ? Certes, on a un parcours. Mais l’enracinement est-il possible ? Si l’on s’enracine, dans un espace, un temps, une communauté, une famille, une parentèle, c’est pour en être déraciné inévitablement, hélas, à plus ou moins brève échéance. Des traces peuvent demeurer, toutefois. Des fragments…

"Der Antichrist" - Friedrich Nietzsche. Der sehr religiös aufgezogene Friedrich Nietzsche ging in die Geschichte ein als großer Kritiker christlicher Moral, aber auch Moral per se. In seinem Werk Der Antichrist wendet sich Friedrich Nietzsche offen gegen die Kirche, die seiner Meinung nach das geistige Erbe der Antike zerstört habe, aber auch gegen die christliche Glaubenslehre per se.

Remigius dei Girolami, a Dominican friar and lector in the Santa Maria Novella church in Florence as well as a political philosopher and theologian, wrote in the context of the Guelf-Ghibbeline conflict in Florence in the early 14th century.

Many of the British policies, specifically taxes, had caused American colonial leaders to consider the unthinkable: declaring independence from the British Empire and its King George. One such leader, Thomas Paine, wrote Common Sense: a pamphlet that explained the advantages of immediate and complete independence.
