Globalization Loosers
The awareness of the risks and chances may mobilize the world conscience and will possibly lead to a mass reation. The global village is inhabited by 6700 Gigahomos ( 1 Gigahomo representing 1 million of people). A quarter of them suffers from malnutrition, another quarter from adipositas. There are 200 political entities callled countries. The difference of the areas that they cover is occasionally 1000-fold. A few rich ones are quite untroubled by a lot of paupers, mainly women and kids. The rich ones errect concentration camp walls and declare common sense as nonsense. The magical hand of political laissez-faire is supposed to ensure global happiness. The truth however is that the majority is suffering from this imbalance. The direction of the poverty spread goes from family to clan, further on to tribe, to people, to nation and finally to the entire humanity. Each one of these steps develops its own identity finally terminating in a world identity. Each of these steps develops an own religion finally terminating in a universal world religion. Thus the unity of mankind is the logical culmination of a liberal market economy that is believed to establish a mutual belonging and interdependence. There is a visible anarchy in the definitions of globalization, only its irreversability stays outside any dispute. Annihilation of distances and termination of alienations are the focus. The elimination of alienations meets resistence of various beliefs and religions. More deregulations and further liberalisations are demanded by the process winners. Religion has lost its battle against science. It has become a private hobby. It has lost against politics. Societal ethics erode as a consequence. Science refuses to acknowledge values and becomes a servant of power increasingly financed by military. Politics transfers ist authority to multinational corporations. Economy celebrates ist victory over religion, science and politics.
The musical „The small Horror Shop“ the development of a gigaplant from a small flower by licking blood. With the words „Feed me“it wants ever increasing sacrifices. Insects vanish, then flowers. Plants and humans are devoured by the monster and finally also the spectators.
Hourly salaries for the same professional skill vary from 15 € in Germany, to 5 € in Poland , to 20 cents in China and 5 cents in Vietnam. This factor of 300 in cost differences eliminates the power of trade unions.
Tax havens allow tax reductions from 1 billion of Euros to a few millions. In 2004 Daimler Chrysler planned saving in human resources amounting to 500 million Euros per year. Strike threats led to a compromise ensuring workplace guaranetees in exchange for cost reductions and prolonged worktimes.
Communities compete to offer goodies for industrial settlements around the globe. Large investors dictate conditions.This competiton finally leads to the disappearance of a middle classes and the triumph of the multinational corporations based on the incompetence and the opportunism of our political representatives .

UNIVERSAL STUDIO's Plot Evaluation Scheme
How Universal Studios evaluates Plots
Plot is the sequence of incidents of which a story is composed. It bears the same relatiship to real life that a map does to a journey. Maps with grosser or finer scales correspond to stories with more or less details. It may include what a character thinks or says or does, but a plot leaves out description or analysis, because that should be left to the final spectator. Immature consumers concentrate on the action, mature spectators enjoy whatever revelations of character and life experience is tramsitted by means of a plot. On the one hand they want schemes and intrigues, mixed identities, disguises, secret messages and similar paraphernalia.
On the other hand, they demand fights by land and sea, dangerous missions and hazardous escapes. In a good story just a minimum of these spices is used in order to transmit a maximum of insight. A discerning spectator may find as much significant action in the way a man greets his friend as in how he handles a sword or rifle.
General Questions for Evaluation
1.Who is the protgonist of the story, is he/she interesting?. What are the conflicts? Are they physical, moral or emotional? Is the main conflict sharply differentiating between good and evil, or is it mor subtle and complex?
2. Does the plot have unity? Are all the episodes relevant to the total maning and effect of the story ? How does each incident grow logically out from its predecessors? Is the ending happy? Is an unhappy or indeterminate ending fairly achieved?
3. How is suspense created in the story ? Is the interest confined to „What hapens next?“ or are larger concerns involved?
4. What does the stoy make of surprise? Are they achieved fairly? Do they serve a significant purpose?
5. To what extent is this a „formula“ story?
Character Evaluation
1.What means does the author use to reveal character ? Are the characters sufficiently dramatized? What use is made of character contrasts?
2. Are characters consistent in their actions? Adequately motivated? Plausible?
3. Is the character fully enough developed to justify his role in the story? Are the main characters round or flat?
4.Is any of the characters a developing character? If so, is the change not too large? Is the change plausible, sufficiently motivated and is it attributed sufficient time to be credible ?

Perpetuating your EGO
How Can You Perpetuate Your Idea Beyond Your Lifetime ?
Create a foundation!
This is a juridic personality that only dies when the subsidizing funds evaporate.
Classical Roman law only knew a dependent (fiducarian) foundation. F. e., a commune or a society received a dedicated alimentation, such as pennyless youngsters.
Only in later imperial Roman times „piae causa“ or „pia corpora“ got an independent legal entity protection. Their juridic position has however never beeen dogmatized.
In „Substrate theory“ the clue for a corporation is the „universitas personarum“, for the foundation the „universitas bonorum“.
Gierke states that the corporation is self-governing, the foundation is governed by the „will of ist founder“
When does a juridic person cease to exist ?
1, Reaching of its specified objective
2. Physical impossibility of ever reaching the set out objectivea.
3. Forced annihilation by government or regime
4 Corporations cease to exists when members die away
5. Foundations die out , when the subsidizing funds vanish
Remark : The longest existing Constantine foundation with a lifespan of almost 2000 years is the „Roman Catholic Church“.

Creativit y can derive Profits from Migration - how ?
Making Money Through Migration
Study the life of the Dane Albert Ballin , born on 15th of August 1857! His father was a tiny impoverished emigration agent. Hard work made Albert general manager of HAPAG, the „Hamburg-American Packetfahrt Aktiengesellschaft“. The German Kaiser became his friend. „My territory is the world“ was his saying. He won the competitive advantage against the Brittish, by providing excellency and quality. For overcoming seasonal downturns he invented the „pleasure crusades“.
For the first time in history „third class“ passengers were allowed on deck. The Hamburg cholera of 1892 caused a downswing of the emigration business. The foundation of the „Ballin Stadt“ Hamburg gave his company a renewed business growth. Ballin’s diplomatic character earned the respect of his English competitors. World War I , however, ruined his company and Albert’s spirit. He committed suicide on November 9th, 1918.
