In den alten Kirchenregistern erscheinen die Singer als Gewerbetreibende, als Landwirte, als Lehrer und als Musiker. Die Wiege des Firmengründers Josef Singer stand in dem bescheidenen elterlichen Hause in der Haus-Kraut-Gasse 15. Bei den kümmerlichen Einkünften, die damals der Vater als Briefträger bezog, lernte er schon als Schulkind das einfache und genügsame Leben kennen. Nach der Lehrzeit in der Blumenstockschen Uhrmacherwerkstätte, zog es ihn hinaus in die Ferne und nach längerer Wanderschaft findet er in Wien eine Bleibe. Vieles Neue und Interessante gibt es hier zu sehen und kennenzulernen. Als er zum Militärdienst eingezogen wird muss er zu einem Infanterieregiment nach Passau. Seine Absicht, sich danach in Paris und Hamburg umzusehen, konnte er nicht verwirklichen. Der Vater ist krank und ruft den Sohn zur Unterstützung nach Hause.

"In der Öffentlichkeit haben Lehrerinnen und Lehrer keine gute Presse - es fehlen aktuelle Studien, in denen das tatsächliche Ansehen der Lehrerschaft verlässlich erkennbar wird. Eine Freiburger Studie liefert erstmals seit 20 Jahren wieder Daten zum Lehrerimage. Fünf vorherrschende Lehrertypen wurden identifiziert.- Der Besserwisser, der Frustrierte, der Biedermann, der Alternative und der Engagierte. Das früher dominante Bild des prügelnden Paukers wurde durch den 'entwaffneten Lehrer' verdrängt. Insgesamt wird ein dramatischer Einbruch in der Wertschätzung dieses Berufs erkennbar."

How do cultural complexes affect the collective psyche? Based on Jung's theory of complexes, this book offers a new perspective on the psychological nature of conflicts between groups and cultures by introducing the concept of the cultural complex. This modern version of Jung's idea offers an original view of the forces that prevent human attempts to bring a peaceful, collaborative spirit to conflict between groups. Leading analysts and academics from a range of cultural backgrounds present their own perspective on the concept, demonstrating how the effects of cultural complexes can be felt in the behaviour of disenfranchised, oppressed and traumatised groups across the world. Ultimately, a clearer understanding of the source and nature of group conflict is reached through discussion of central subjects including: * Collective trauma and cultural complexes * Exploring racism: a clinical example of a cultural complex * Cultural complexes in the history of Jung, Freud and their followers. The Cultural Complex represents a valuable contribution to analytical psychology and will undoubtedly also stimulate dialogue in the fields of sociology, political science and cultural studies.

Investors in the United States and other countries have a significant and growing stake in overseas business operations. The U.S. government is a leading proponent of a proposed OECD agreement to protect foreign investors from "discriminatory and distorting" government practices and to assure the free flow of capital across international borders. This agreement, a proposed Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), would give cross-border investors greater protections than currently provided by NAFTA and the Uruguay Round agreements. OECD negotiators have stated that one of their goals is to curtail the powers of subnational governments in ways that go beyond NAFTA and the World Trade Organization. This article's purpose is to examine the potential impact of a proposed MAI on state and local environmental policies and practices and identify actions state policy makers can take to preserve their authority to accommodate local preferences in protecting natural resources and the environment.

New international trade agreements and institutions will have an important impact on state environmental practices. As states within afederal system become increasingly bound by trade agreements, their involvement in framing international trade rules and policies must increase accordingly. This article sets forth some of the new international obligations that could impinge on state soverignty, and makes recommendations that would bring more accountability and balance to state-federal procedures for addressing these matters.
