We have all heard the nicknames for the current generations in the news. Besides the 'Silent Generation' (a.k.a. The Greatest Generation) born before 1946, there are Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (also known as the Millennials), and Generation Z.In the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of coverage and discussion about the growing frustration between these generations. Some call it a generational war. Much of the debate has to do with the Boomer generation, with younger generations claiming various failures of this generation to provide a world or country that is sustainable and affordable.TV shows, podcasts, newspaper and magazine articles, movies, and social media have increasingly begun analysis and discussion about this war. It is a hot topic and, unfortunately, becoming more emotional. Most of the analysis and coverage has to do with emerging information about each generation, such as wealth accumulation, party affiliation, changing opinions, habits, values and relationships. Facts and surveys abound, discussing all of these aspects of the generations, and more.But we all innately understand that generalizations and summaries about the generations can be dangerous, and can only tell a part of the story.What is the answer to this generational conflict that is beginning to stress friendships, acquaintances, and even families? How can we diffuse the emotion and get to positive solutions that will help heal the divide?Daniel Muller attempts to understand this growing generational conflict at a more micro level, namely by documenting and sharing the individual life stories of a somewhat random collection of 'everyday' Baby Boomers. Besides their life stories, he relates their opinions about a series of hot topics today, all in an attempt to better understand what linkages may exist between their environment, families, early and mid-life years, and how they think and behave today.'SEX, DRUGS, ROCK and WAR: The Boomer Generation' is an enjoyable collection of very diverse life stories. In addition, Muller shares a fascinating analysis of Boomer values and opinions, and hypothesizes about the underlying potential causes of the growing conflict between generations. Finally, he shares his suggestions to calm the generational wars.

In the last twenty years, over ten million Americans have grown up in blue-collar families but have chosen to pursue white-collar careers. Changing Collars is a fascinating and instructional memoir focused upon helping and enabling these and future blue-collar Americans to succeed in their white-collar careers.Drawing upon his own experiences growing up in a blue-collar family, and in his 35 years of gradually learning the ropes and eventually climbing the corporate ladder in a white-collar world, Daniel Muller provides extremely valuable insights and lessons to help millions of 'blue-collar root' employees on their career journeys.The son of a locomotive engineer, Muller grew up in a typical blue-collar small town in Ohio. There he learned the importance of hard work, honesty, and ethics. He became the first in his family to attend college and graduated Summa Cum Laude in his undergraduate and graduate business programs.However, upon beginning his first job in the professional white-collar world, he quickly realized that his blue-collar background and ways of thinking were more obstacles to success than enablers. Unfamiliar with the expectations and social norms within the white-collar world, during the first decade of his career, Muller floundered in achieving the success he desired.Due to his ability to adapt and learn from self-study and from others, he was able to transcend his blue-collar background and achieve career success, albeit as a late-bloomer. He ended his career as a Senior Vice-President / CIO, and also held other executive roles such as leading corporate strategic planning, and P&L leadership roles as President of several operating divisions.Combining personal experiences and observations along with those of highly respected peers in his industry, Changing Collars provides deeply insightful and practical lessons about the significant differences between blue-collar and white-collar cultures and mores, as well as highlighting the common misunderstandings that blue-collar candidates have about the white-collar world. The lessons here are further enhanced by the organization of these lessons into early-career, middle-career, and late-career examples. This extensive set of lessons was gathered, researched, and peer-validated over a nine-year period.These examples and lessons are rarely discussed in college coursework, or in other texts, simply because many of these lessons are held dear and shared only with a select few, mainly others who have grown up in white-collar families and backgrounds, and those on the fast track to senior positions.The lessons shared here are meaningful, readily applicable and entertaining for anyone who is employed, or will be employed, in the white-collar world, and who is searching for keys to future white-collar career success.

This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of potassic igneous rock complexes, and investigates the various tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide an overview and classification of these rocks and elucidate the geochemical differences between barren and mineralized potassic igneous complexes. High-K rocks are genetically associated with a number of epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits. In recent years, there has also been growing recognition of an association of such rocks with iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, intrusion-related gold deposits (IRGDs) and Carlin-type gold deposits. This fifth updated and expanded edition incorporates new data and references from world-class copper and gold deposits worldwide. It also includes the latest publications on the petrogenesis of high-K magmatism and related mineral deposits. Numerous new representative ore photographs of the mineral deposits described are also included in the new edition. As such, the book offers a valuable guide not only for academic petrologists working on alkaline rocks, but also for exploration geologists prospecting for epithermal gold and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits in modern and ancient terrains.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Das Wort Identität kommt ursprünglich von dem lateinischen Demonstrativpronomen ?idem?. Es bedeutet ?eben der, der ein und derselbe?. Später im 18. Jahrhundert erweiterte sich die Vokabel zu ?identitas?. Sie meint eine ?vollkommene Übereinstimmung zweier Dinge oder Personen.? (Quelle: Herkunftswörterbuch) Unser Verb ?identifizieren? ist in diesem Kontext so zu verstehen: Etwas genau wiedererkennen, die Identität einer Person feststellen. Der Brockhaus definiert Identität ?als Gleichheit mit sich selbst?. In dieser Diplomarbeit werde ich aus heutiger Sicht auf die klassischen Identitätstheorien schauen und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen betrachten, die einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Identität des Menschen haben. Erikson, der Vater der Entwicklungspsychologie, hatte ein sehr idealisiertes und auf die Einheit, Harmonie und Kontinuität der Person abzielendes Identitätsverständnis. Dabei werden seine biographischen und makrogesellschaftlichen Umstände beschrieben, die Einfluss auf die Konzeption von Identität ausübten. Marcia überführte das von ihm aufgestellte Acht-Stufenmodell in die Praxis. Durch empirische Erhebungen und dank ausgiebiger Tests operationalisierte er Eriksons theoretische Konzeption. Für ihn war Identität messbar. Er konnte mittels einer von ihm entwickelten Kategorisierung erkennen, in welchem Zustand die Identität eines Menschen sich gerade in einem bestimmten Lebensbereich befand. Inwiefern sich nun diese Konzepte auch noch in der Postmoderne anwenden lassen, ohne sie kräftig zu ?verbiegen?, untersuchte u.a. Keupp. Er sprach als erster von dem ?Patchwork der Identität?. Er analysiert genau die gesellschaftlichen Umbruchserfahrungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Identität. Es soll herausgearbeitet werden unter welchen Umständen und wie Jugendliche ihre Identität aus verschiedenen Komponenten zusammenbauen. Ich werde einige interessante Ergebnisse aus der Shell Jugendstudie 2000 mit einbringen. Eine umfassende Darstellung aller identitätsrelevanten Erkenntnisse kann jedoch hier nicht gegeben werden. Bei manchen Punkten, die mich persönlich sehr interessierten, haben ich einen Exkurs gemacht. Zum Schluss werde ich mir im Ausblick Gedanken machen, welche praxisrelevanten Folgen es für meine Arbeit mit Jugendlichen hat. Zusammenfassung: Wir haben also gesehen, dass Identität in der Postmoderne nicht mehr das widerspruchsfreie Zusammenpassen einzelner Identifikationen in verschiedenen [¿]
