| Inhalte der LV: | ||
The main focus on the course will squarely be placed on contemporary issues affecting Britain, the U.S., and possibly the rest of the world. Topics include subjects such as major economic & business developments, cultural characteristics, food & drink, leisure activities, language, and the social framework of the two countries. Throughout the course, contrasts and parallels between Austria, Britain, and the United States will be discussed in some detail. |
||
| Lernergebnisse (Learning Outcomes): | ||
After attending the course, students will be able to follow and better understand current developments in Britain and the U.S. in fields such as business, politics, sports and culture. By being exposed to media input (mostly) from those two countries, a general understanding of basic behavioral and cultural idiosyncrasies will be developed and fostered. |
