China Rap

How to get especially young people in China to open their minds for political propoganda? Everything has changed compared to the older times. Just have a look at BBC`s view on the Topic.

…..Among other activities………for example: An animated music video with a foreign band singing in English of course.

It became an instant hit on social media with young people talking about it, sharing it and even learning to sing it.

There are more such tactics being adopted this year. A rap song called “My Two Sessions, My Say”, produced by the People’s Daily, a Communist Party mouthpiece describes the grand scene as delegates of the National People’s Congress and the Political Consultative Conference arrive with their people’s agendas.

….there is even more and quite successful.

Collective emotions

The common parlance is convinced that you experience the world in the way, in the mood you’re.  It is also convinced that you look at the world in your very personal way and you react to it the same.

Meanwhile scientific research confirms this. I will pick out two main branches of science to illustrate this. The one is the concept of affect-logic based on the research and thoughts of Luc Ciompi. The other one is the concept of functional identity based on …………………….

Europeans learn Chinese but firms say don’t bother

The labor market grows especially in China. More and more Chinese on the other hand leave China to work or study in Europe or the US. Of course a basic language  competence is needed. But also a well based experience in the foreign language is needed.

To find this experience you have to work in the foreign country. This is just easy to know and to follow. And yet there is a big difference in the people`s interest and the interest of firms.

Communicating food and meals by photos in web 2.0 (part 1)

Why do so any people take photos of their meals? And post them even while eating?

This phenomena is so common that most of us don`t these questions. Let me take some time to think about it and share my ideas.

Here is a very brief summary, in order not to disturb you while eating. J
