“Who Am I to Judge?”
The Catholic Church still takes an ambivalent stance toward homosexuality, declaring that homosexuals should be respected and not discriminated against while morally condemning their intimate relationships. This volume presents exegetical, theological, and ethical arguments as well as evidence from the human sciences to advocate for the recognition of homosexuality as a natural variant of the human capacities to love and to form relationships.
Smooth Path or Long and Winding Road?
The book uses a comparative study of Germany and Britain to reveal how national institutions shape the labour market careers of higher education graduates. It identifies four institutional spheres that are important: the structure of higher education systems, the content of study, the structure of graduate labour markets, and labour market flexibility. Due to country differences, the transition from higher education to work in Germany follows a smooth path, while in Britain it is more comparable to a long and winding road.

Convergence, Persistence and Diversity in Male and Female Careers
Little comparative knowledge exists on how the radical transformations that constitute the late 20th century's ?era of globalization? have affected gender relations and their particular structural manifestation on the labor market, thereby neglecting a core element of the changes and problems currently underway. This book analyses how converging tendencies in the life courses and employment careers of men and women interfere with developments of increasing diversity and instability, both within and between sexes, as economies move from ?industrial? to ?global'. Using the shifting welfare regimes of West Germany and Denmark as illustrative evidence of how national context ?genders? the risks and chances associated with globalization and increasing employment flexibility, this study provides a timely, comprehensive longitudinal analysis of the gendered career consequences of recent political and economic change.
Culture and Welfare State
Culture and Welfare Stateprovides comparative studies on the interplay between cultural factors and welfare policies. Starting with an analysis of the historical and cultural foundations of Western European welfare states, reflected in the competing ideologies of liberalism, conservatism and socialism, the book goes on to compare the Western European welfare model to those in North America, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe. Comprehensive and engaging, this volume examines not only the relationships between cultural change and welfare restructuring, taking empirical evidence from policy reforms in contemporary Europe, but also the popular legitimacy of welfare, focusing particularly on the underlying values, beliefs and attitudes of people in European countries. This book will be of great interest to sociologists and political scientists, as well as social policy experts interested in a cultural perspective on the welfare state.
Nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften
Nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften sind vor allem in nordeuropäischen Ländern beliebt und finden auch in Deutschland zunehmende Verbreitung. Diese Entwicklung wird häufig mit Schlagworten wie "Individualisierung" und "Pluralisierung" in Zusammenhang gebracht. Läßt die zunehmende Zahl Nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaften tatsächlich darauf schließen, daß sich nicht-traditionelle Lebens- und Beziehungsformen ausbreiten - oder ist sie einfach als Ersatz der zurückgehenden Heiratsneigung zu interpretieren? Wie erklärt sich die unterschiedliche Verbreitung Nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaften im Vergleich zwischen verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen, zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland, im Stadt-Land-Vergleich? Sind Nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften eine historische Neuheit? Sind sie eine Vorform oder eine Alternative zur Ehe? Wie unterscheiden sich Ehen und Nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften in Bezug auf Partnerwahl und Arbeitsteilung? Auf diese und weitere Fragen versucht der vorliegende Band möglichst konkrete Antworten zu geben.
Kinderreichtum gleich Armut?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Soziales System und Sozialstruktur, Note: 2,3, Universität Hildesheim (Stiftung) (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Formen sozialer Ungleichheit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich mit der Frage, ob Kinder-reichtum in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zur Verarmung führt und welchen Ein-fluss die Zahl von Kindern auf die Lebenslage ihrer Familie hat. Im Rahmen dieser Fragestellung soll folgende Hypothese überprüft werden: "Je kinderreicher eine Familie ist, desto höher ist ihr Armutsrisiko bzw. je weniger Kinder eine Familie hat, desto niedriger ist ihre Gefahr...
