Warum vor 40 Jahren Willy Brandt gewählt wurde und heute ein politisch-moralisch verlotterter Zustand herrscht #SPD http://t.co/4nzc3VEu

New York - 5th Avenue, Oktober 2012: Ohne Worte! (Foto: Dr. S. Marquardt, #Unkel) #Brandt http://pic.twitter.com/090lLZ9P · Willy-Brandt-Forum

Er war der Grund, warum ich Sozialdemokratin geworden bin!

Die SPD und viele Menschen in Deutschland gedenken heute eines großen Mannes, der vor genau zwanzig Jahren starb: Willy Brandt. Seine Statue steht überlebensgroß neben mir. Das erinnert mich daran, dass vieles in der SPD – und ich füge hinzu: in Deutschland – in seinem Schatten steht. Willy Brandt hat das moderne, demokratische Deutschland und die heutige SPD geprägt wie kaum ein anderer. Willy Brandt wusste genau, worin die Kraft der Sozialdemokratie lag: Er selbst hat die Politisierung Deutschlands aktiv umgemünzt in starke demokratische Unterstützung. Er hat mit den Stimmen der Wähler die Bundesrepublik verändert! Er hat mit den Wählerinnen und Wählern Gutes bewirkt. Er hat sich nicht einer vermeintlichen "politischen Mitte" angepasst oder ist ihr hinterher gelaufen, sondern er hat mit seinen Überzeugungen um sie gekämpft und sie gewonnen. Brandt wusste: Wo andere über die Macht des Geldes oder der Waffen verfügen mögen, können Sozialdemokraten auf die Stärke der Vielen setzen! Der Vielen, deren Stimme ohne Solidarität und Demokratie nicht zu hören wäre.

Ihm haben wir die Annäherung an die DDR zu verdanken. Ein Großer der SPD. Nur Helmut Schmid genießt größeres Ansehen.

zum gedenken an einen grossen deutschen staatsmann und kanzler der bundesrepublik deutschland , gestorben 8.10 . 1992

Vor 20 Jahren starb Willy Brandt. Ein Mensch und Politiker sondergleichen, sehr idealistisch, sehr pragmatisch-verantwortungsbewusst, sich gegen die Nazis, u.a. vom Exil aus, engagierend, wider die deutsche Mehrheit, die tödliche Mehrheit damals, setzte die Entspannungspolitik im Kalten Krieg durch als noch Weltkriegsgefahr bestand, kniete vor dem Mahnmal für die jüdischen Kämpfer des Warschauer Ghettos spontan nieder, gleich, was "die Leute" daraus machten - Viele, auch im Bundestag, waren damit nicht einverstanden, der "Spiegel" zeigte ihn damals knieend auf dem Titel, mitsamt dem Hinweis auf seine Umfrage "Durfte Brandt knien?" Zugespitzt möchte ich das, was Einige in jener Zeit 1970 noch gedacht haben mochten, einmal so skizzieren: 6 Mio. Juden zu vergasen, das war wohl nicht richig gewesen, aber dass ein deutscher Bundeskanzler vor den Opfern auf die Knie fällt ist eine Schande! Seine Autobiographie ist übrigens gut lesbar, spannend, und macht einen ehrlichen Eindruck, was bei Autobiographien ja nicht immer so ist.

Tesla Motors' Electric Cars

We understand the importance of moving towards cars that are more environmentally friendly and do not have to rely on fossil fuels -- but can Electric Cars really enter the mainstream?

Storified by Nerd Insider · Wed, Oct 24 2012 04:27:09

Knowing the importance of creating cars that are more environmentally friendly and that cut down on CO2 emissions, companies have sought to build something that harnesses this, but also remains usable and commercial. Hybrid cars have taken off with success, combining a normal petrol powered engine with hydrogen power which can do half the work. However, the real challenge is creating a car that can be completely powered by sustainable, green means.

Electric cars seem to be the likely candidate to fill this role, but there have been some drawbacks to this. The first dabbles with electric cars showed that they couldn't reach very high speeds, had a battery life that would run out many miles sooner than the traditional petrol power and also needed charging for many hours. There is also the fact that currently there isn't a proliferation of charging points, meaning that careful planning is needed if one doesn't want to get stranded. 

However, these are all things that are being tackled as each wave of electric cars develop. One company that has thrown itself into the electric car cause is Tesla Motors -- and not only are they seeking to create usable electric cars, they are also retaining all the design, speed and durability aspects that appeal and are important to drivers. Indeed, as car be seen, the cars can have a sleek, sporty body with all the usual windows, windshield glass, tyres and general appearance.

One criticism of electric cars is that they are more expensive compared to similar petrol powered cars. However, Tesla Motors have sought to make their models more accessible, with CEO Elon Musk once saying: "Almost any new technology initially has high unit cost before it can be optimized and this is no less true for electric cars. The strategy of Tesla is to enter at the high end of the market [with the roadster], where customers are prepared to pay a premium, and then drive down market as fast as possible.."

With companies such as Tesla Motors dedicating themselves to the electric car cause, it seems very likely that they will continue to develop and become more popular. Their status as a much more green, eco-friendly mode of transport also means that they will become more important to our very way of living and certainly appeal to leaders who want to see a greener future, such as President Obama looking to have 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015.

McDonald's Case Study

0
0

McDonald's is a house hold name in 119 countries serving nearly 68 million people and operates at 33,500 locations. The company employs 1.7 million people all over the world and 80 percent of the restaurants are franchised.

Storified by · Thu, Oct 25 2012 03:54:14

Overview

McDonald's has created a brand that is recognized all over the world, and in countries where people do not speak English. They are recognized by their famous golden arch and the famous slogan "I'm lovin it". They have created and have been embedded into pop-culture through numerous mediums of social media. McDonald's social media platforms expands to twitter, Facebook,youtube, and etc. 

The company has been able to put their name across the internet in order to solve the problems with the company and also to create new ideas in order to create innovations in perfecting their brand all over the world reaching their customers in any way possible to make McDonald's a better company. 

Summary

The social media platforms that are used most with McDonald's are the one's most people are using all over the world. The platforms consist of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The content varies from complaints from the customers on the Facebook page, to images on Flickr about other items on the menu from different countries. The hub of McDonald'd would be the website being able to redirect customers to other social media outlets.

This is an insight into how much effort McDonald's puts into social media in order to connect with customers from all over the world.
The main website links to all their social media outlets and also provides more than enough information regarding their products,  employment,charities, franchising  and much more.  

Problems With Social Media

The only negative connotation that exist for McDonald's within the social media realm is the reputation that has been created by customers. Such as, bad food, chicken heads, mouse tails, obesity, bad customer service, and the famous movie that made it all possible Super Size Me. The problem that had occurred on twitter with the McDStories hash tag was a major fail as well. McDonald's reputation bounces back and forth in the social media world, but since it is a world name brand it always bounces back.

Goals of the Company's Social Media Use

1. To sell products; 
2. To build the brand; 
3. To engage with customers and manage issues as they emerge.

 

Facebook Platform

Pros

-The platform gives you 5 more sub-platforms that are related to the McDonald's Facebook that include quality matters, what's new, play nice, local, and work here.
1.Quality Matters is the content provided to McDonald's lovers to know where their food is coming from. It provides an individual biography from the different suppliers and what they do to provide the food they produce for millions of people to enjoy. The three items are the  potato suppliers, the lettuce providers, and the meat providers. This assures the customers that their is food is made from fresh foods.
2.What's New is the content allows customers to know what new items are on the menu. They also have the ability to "like" certain items that are part of the new item choice. The have calories accounted for each item letting the customer what they are taking in. The Items also redirects you to the official McDonald's website to know more info about the item.
3.Play Nice is a platform used by the company to inform the people on Facebook to post "good" comments about their experiences with the restaurant food chain. Otherwise the content of the customer will be taken down from the Facebook page.
4.Local allows customers to put in their zip codes to know what is happening with the company in the area they live in. They include news feeds from charity events in the local area, Twitter feeds through the Facebook page, and video content as well. 5.Work Here allows for customers to be possibly employed by the company.   

-The Monopoly game is also a pro to get customers to buy food in order to win fabulous prizes.  

Cons

The negatives about having these individual platforms is that they are not as visible to locate unless you actually browse through everything on their Facebook page. Although McDonald's can provide an abundance of information the word of the customers are still more trust worthing than the company. The Play Nice platform takes away from bad experiences making the customer, or future customers not knowing what has gone wrong with McDonald's. The company only chooses content that will make them look better in the eyes of the customers. It is if the company is almost lying. The comments on the Facebook page, if it is a bad comment, will drive customers away from the company. An example is when people feel they are getting ripped off from the monopoly game  and are able to see comments before they are taken down changing their ideals about McDonald's  .
