«Calendos», «guincher», «radiner»… Tous ces mots, jadis présents dans nos conversations ont disparu du langage de nos adolescents.

Deshalb hat sich die Medienwirkungsforschung intensiv mit dem Thema Gewalt auseinandergesetzt – ...

Schauen wir uns um! “Wir werden uns an dem Wahnsinn der Brüsseler Elite nicht beteiligen.” Viele sogenannte Asylbewerber haben sich geweigert, nach Mittel- und Osteuropa umzuziehen, weil die finanziellen Vergütungen dort nicht so großzügig sind wie in Frankreich, Deutschland oder Skandinavien.
