ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ Εδώ και αρκετό καιρό βρισκόμαστε στο κέντρο μιας μεγάλης οικονομικής κρίσης, αναζητώντας διέξοδο από αυτήν. Η παγκόσμια οικονομία βρέθηκε μπροστά σε μεγάλη ύφεση, η οποία εμφανίστηκε αρχικά στις ανεπτυγμένες χώρες, δηλαδή στις ΗΠΑ και σε ορισμένες χώρες της Ευρώπης και έπληξε πρώτα τον χρηματοπιστωτικό τομέα.. Ξεκίνησε δηλαδή, ως κρίση της αγοράς χρήματος και στη συνέχεια μετασχηματίστηκε σε τραπεζική, λόγω του γεγονότος ότι οι τράπεζες αδυνατούσαν να βρουν ρευστότητα για να επιβιώσουν. Αυτή η κατάσταση δεν άργησε να οδηγήσει σε μιαν άλλη πιο έντονη, την κατάρρευση των χρηματιστηρίων. Έτσι, η κρίση προχώρησε σε μικρότερες χώρες οι οποίες επειδή, δεν παρήγαγαν τα προϊόντα και τις υπηρεσίες που εισήχθησαν σ’ αυτές από το εξωτερικό οδηγήθηκαν στην άμεση ανάγκη δανεισμού. Πλέον, η κρίση που βιώνουμε άλλαξε μορφή με αποτέλεσμα όλες οι ανεπτυγμένες χώρες να βρίσκονται σε βαθιά ύφεση, γεγονός που ρίχνει τους τομείς της παραγωγής και της κατανάλωσης σε πολύ χαμηλά επίπεδα και αυξάνει ραγδαία την ανεργία.

Η οικονομική αυτή ύφεση ξεκίνησε το 2007 και στην Ελλάδα άρχισε να διαφαίνεται το 2008, ώσπου το 2010 κορυφώθηκε, καθώς πια η χώρα σε μεγάλο σημείο δεν μπορούσε να αγοράσει κεφάλαια και επομένως, αδυνατούσε να διαχειριστεί μελλοντικές δημοσιονομικές κρίσεις. Όταν λοιπόν, η χώρα κινδύνευσε να χρεοκοπήσει, εισήλθε σε ένα χρηματοδοτικό πρόγραμμα οικονομικής στήριξης (μνημόνιο συνεργασίας) του Διεθνούς Νομισματικού Ταμ... ... middle of paper ... ...τικά με το φαινόμενο της οικονομικής κρίσης. Έτσι, ως αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της διαμόρφωσης της κοινής γνώμης για την οικονομική κρίση από τα Μέσα, δίνεται η εικόνα στο πρώτο μέρος, – σε χωριστά κεφάλαια – των θεσμών και των θεμάτων των ΜΜΕ (κεφάλαιο πρώτο) και της οικονομικής κρίσης (κεφάλαιο δεύτερο). Επίσης, στο δεύτερο μέρος διερευνάται και διαμορφώνεται η σχέση των ΜΜΕ και της κρίσης με την κοινωνία (κεφάλαιο τρίτο) και το πολιτικό σύστημα (κεφάλαιο τέταρτο) και αναλύονται οι πτυχές των ΜΜΕ που σχετίζονται με την πραγματικότητα (κεφάλαιο πέμπτο). Ακόμη, εξετάζεται η κοινή γνώμη και ο τρόπος με τον οποίο εκείνη διαμορφώνεται μέσω της επιρροής που ασκούν επάνω της τα Μέσα (κεφάλαιο έκτο). Τέλος, το τρίτο μέρος της εργασίας περιλαμβάνει τη σχέση των ΜΜΕ και της οικονομικής κρίσης με την κοινωνική εργασία και τις επιδράσεις τους στο έργο του κοινωνικού λειτουργού.
The book written by Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, contains two controversial debates between distinguished speakers of Athens. The two corresponding sides produce convincing arguments which can be taken as if produced as an honest opinion or out of self-interest. The two debates must be analyzed separately in order to conclude which one and which side was speaking out of honest opinion or self-interest, as well as which speakers are similar to each other in their approach to the situation.
...my own hometown, like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid” to show how they both were compelled to carry out a message one being the gospel of Jesus Christ and the latter being human equality (p.61). By comparing himself to historical figures he makes numbers of ethical appeals and he builds up the author’s character. His use of great leaders can have a great influence in the reader and have an effect on the emotions of the reader.

An awareness of the historical-cultural background of Paul’s letter to Philemon will aid in interpretation of the text. The information gleamed should allow for a greater contextual appreciation. With this knowledge in hand, the reader can grasp a deeper understanding of the theological teachings of the book of Philemon.
...oned by the historians. When historians overlook these historiographical issues new interpretations of the same event are created. This is evidently seen in the case of the Themistocles Decree which could redefine Greek strategy during the Persian invasion and in the case of the Callias Peace Treaty which could redefine how the war formally concluded. This investigation into the historical views of the past also established that between Cartledge and Green there points where they provided different views on the same topic as seen in the case of oath of Plataea. Historical truth is often a virtue rather than a reality and as historians produce their own interpretations of the past with the same sources competing views arise and all these view either fall into a representative of current historical consensus or they challenge and redefine how we look into the past.

The play The Bacchae by Euripides tells us many things about how the Greeks experienced and exercised concepts of religion, authority, family, knowledge, and morality. In this play a mortal man defies the wishes of a young god. Now this man, Pentheus, is not just any man he is the king of Thebes as well as the young god’s first cousin. The god, Dionysus, is the son of Greek God Zeus and a mortal women, Semele. She is also one of the daughters of Pentheus’ grandfather, Cadmus. The king does not want to allow the citizens of Thebes to religiously worship the god and this is where the problem lays between the two. This essay will look at the concepts of family, especially the role of women, religion, and morality within the play itself.

To read the texts of the Bible is to immerse oneself in a history, a history of events, and a history of understanding. As we open the pages of the canonical books, we are given a glimpse into the lives and issues of people many thousands of years ago and of the stories that have shaped the development of the church to the current day. At the same time, and following the call of 2 Timothy 3:16 , Christians take seriously what is written and reflect it into their own lives and realities, leading to interpretations and understandings of the text being applied in their own contexts. This application of biblical texts has, on many occasions, resulted in understandings and practices that, perhaps, undermine what is the true message the texts proclaim, an excellent example of this being the Epistle to Philemon in the New Testament. It is the purpose of this assignment to re-interpret this book of the bible, asking questions borne from a Post-Colonial liberation hermeneutic to show the deficit of traditional readings of this text and explore the role of hermeneutic in interpretation. This will be achieved through explaining the term hermeneutic and specifically the Post-Colonial hermeneutic this essay uses before surveying how the Epistle to Philemon has been interpreted and used historically. After this, we will explore the text through the lens of our hermeneutic, discussing how power and empire are spoken of in the text, the manner in which Paul undermines them and the underlying message expressed to the Church.

Within chapter nine, Horsley presents a picture of the socio-economic landscape in which the emergent church was situated. Specifically, he focuses on Philippi, Thessalonica, and Corinth to point to the overarching economic realities of the Ancient Greek world within the Hellenistic period. Through his analysis, we get a greater understanding of the realities of the early church and the overarching mission that Paul and his colleagues were attempting to accomplish.

Greek tragedies, written in ancient times, are still a standard for tragedies written today. Contrary to diminishing in value over time, these tragedies have become cherished pieces of work in the sophisticated literate culture of today. However, one can not delve into these precious works of beautiful literary verse without first having background knowledge of the context they were written, and of the structure they follow. There are several terms, as well as an analysis of tragedies by Aristotle, a philosopher who experienced them firsthand. By knowing the structural basis of tragic works before reading them, one is able to better understand them and appreciate them more fully for the prized trophies of classic literature they are.
