Which conclusion should we choose, for the technical college, or at least for the classical school? This decision depends, among other things, on your choice of study. Find out how the Fachabi differs from “normal” Abi.

Technical college or university?
In addition to the general university and technical college education , there is also a third form of financial statements, the technical university . Basically you gain with all three degrees a university entrance qualification. However, one of the general and technical college in the study very limited choice.

The choice of study
Just as with the classic high school is acquired with the so-called school diploma, a high school admission. One can witness one of the technical university at almost every university study with (there are restrictions by country-specific rules). In classical studies, the choice of universities, however, a subject-specific course is limited to. At the technical university of choice is one of the program, however, always to a particular subject area bound by.

Content of training
In addition to a school element includes the technical college and a career-related content. In addition to 12 years at a secondary school, such as secondary education, high school, comprehensive school, vocational school, technical school, vocational high school or Tele College, have members of the technical college is usually a one-or six-month internship, a completed vocational training or an internship in the 11th Year of technical school completed.

Country-specific rules and conditions
The mutual recognition of academic part of the specialized high school is not given in all provinces. That means it does not mean that a student automatically Fachhochschulreife state at a University of Applied Sciences can study with each. In the eleven-nation agreement Colleges have eleven federal countries on mutual recognition of the educational section of the technical college in the gymnasium agreed. These include the following countries: Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt and Schleswig-Holstein.

In the individual provinces also vary the requirements of relevant professional activities, to be met before the start of the course. Some military or civilian service be counted. The recognition of the practical training can also vary within the colleges. Before the election, one should carefully study the individual admission requirements of the desired college or university, when relevant.

Spoilt for choice
Which degree is better now is hard to say. The advantage of a university is unique in the unrestricted choice of study. The training at a technical high school, however, offers a more practical and berufsbezogenere training. For some courses such as medicine, law or teacher training is needed, however, the general university. Ultimately, one must question whether the training more scientifically and theoretically should be, as is the case of universities or whether more of a practical and professional training of a university in question counts.

Here a conflict is required that goes beyond the approaches that are used within their own culture, out. At the same time should not be any conflict that occurs between people of different cultural backgrounds, more cultural “, that is, only be attributed to this fact.

When formed the languages?

Today, we are assuming that our species was not created in a moment, but evolved from earlier forms, has more than us today the apes were similar. Although there are historical issues of our translation agency in the way, in particular, a question arises in connection with the origin of languages: at what point the man became a man? In other words, when the earlier forms we were so similar that we would describe as being of our species?
A common answer to this is that man to man was just then, as the language developed, and that would fit exactly to the traditional narrative. For us it is natural to consider those creatures as people who use a human language.

This gives us but still no precise answer to the question of when the first humans appeared on the scene. We do not know when the first sentence was spoken. Well, many smart people have tried to define since antiquity, when and how this happened, but the results are not exactly impressive.

With absolute certainty we know that human languages have existed since at least 5000 years, for about the same age are the first surviving written evidence of language. The first detained in writings languages, Sumerian and Egyptian, differ in their general characteristics are not the least of languages spoken today. It seems certain therefore that there has been very much more languages, the modern languages were similar. (As a translation agency we are deeply concerned with this subject and researched.)

How long, however, is unclear. Since there is no direct evidence, all assumptions are purely speculative. Mostly they were looking for a coherent response using two types of evidence. The one source of information on the general cultural development of prehistoric man. These are based on archaeological finds and many artifacts. The other source of knowledge about the anatomical development of man. Here, too, the Archaeological material in the form of bone-au, different periods.

Russia is Germany’s main trading partner. But many business initiatives in Russia fail from a lack of mutual understanding. Thus, German managers often shake his head in view of them as irrationally perceived Russian market. Accordingly, they overlook the fact that a recognition result of the backgrounds for “typical Russian” behavior to optimal cooperation. A cross-cultural training helps to understand the Russians and the tendencies of their thinking. It prepares employees and managers of German companies in the business stays in Russia and provides the basis for successful cooperation with Russian guests and business partners.

Knowledge of regional studies, the largest country in the world and information on business etiquette essential “hard facts” are. Who wants to be successful in Russia, but also needs the necessary “soft skill” intercultural competence in order to assess situations appropriately and consistently be able to deal.

IKUD ® therefore offers seminars in July 2010 a “Cultural Awareness Training in Russia”, is placed in which the transmission of knowledge about the diverse culture and the social and historical and religious peculiarities of the Russian nation, the basis for a more differentiated perception. Cultural awareness, however, is also an active process: Through role playing, simulations, group work and discussions will be learned from the experience level. Using a guided reflection of these active elements of the training, participants may ultimately develop intercultural competence.

Who can share their own cultural background in relation with the Russian foreign culture, has the chance to make meetings on a new level: Instead of incomprehension and irritation occurs successful communication. In a business context, this simply means an increased effectiveness in negotiations, contracts and in everyday work process. At the same time it is the Germans but also possible on a personal level, to gain access to the Russian culture and people – investing in a cross-cultural training is worth it.
