Das ist natürlich noch lange kein Grund sich zufrieden zurück zu lehnen, gibt aber viel Kraft und Motivation für die anstehenden Aufgaben. 2010 wird ein Mammutjahr für den Deutschen Basketball Bund mit Albert Schweitzer Turnier, U17-Weltmeisterschaft der Jungen und schließlich der Herren-WM in der Türkei, um nur die absoluten Höhepunkte herauszupicken.

There is no doubt that Egypt’s hosting of this major sporting event has im- portant implications for Egypt, its people and the world. This is the largest global sporting event ever held anywhere in the world since the covid-19 pandemic, a year ago. The organization of this competi- tion in such circumstances reflects the extent of Egyptian capabilities in all areas of health, logistics, security and sports under these exceptional cir- cumstances. Undoubtedly, the international consensus to convene the championship at this time, despite all the current realities around the world, confirms confi- dence in Egypt’s success in dealing with the pandemic at all levels, and in the ability of the State, Egyptian people and the youth of the world participating in the championship, to come up with the 2021 edition in the best form, to the enjoyment of hundreds of millions of handball fans at a time when all the peoples of the world need moments of hope, pleasure and fair competi- tion after a very difficult year for everyone.

  • Reality TV Shows in the Arab World: Star Academy Impacts on Arab Teenagers
    International J. Soc. Sci. & Education 2015 Vol.5 Issue 3, ISSN: 2223-4934 E and 2227-393X Print Reality TV Shows in the Arab World: Star Academy Impacts on Arab Teenagers 1Georges Farha, 2Bassam Hamdar, 1Lilian Karam, 2Hussin J. Hejase 1Department of Communication Arts, Faculty of Arts and Sciences 2Faculty of Business and Economics American University of Science and Technology, Beirut-Lebanon. Abstract Reality T.V programs are now invading the Arab world and are attracting viewers of all ages, most specifically Arab teenagers. Being live programs taken from real life situations, Reality TV shows feature and monitor the emotions and behaviors of those who are usually involved for the purpose of winning a prize. However, the question to be asked is to what extent such programs are affecting teenagers, being the most susceptible audience. This paper has many objectives including: assessing the authenticity of the television programs; probing the extent the image reflected by talent-contestant shows, namely Star Academy, is affecting teenagers’ life; and, assessing what major role Star Academy plays in motivating and influencing the teenage audience. This research is exploratory and uses a quantitative approach; it relies on the use of a survey questionnaire addressed to a convenient sample of 300 teenagers. Findings are to help educators and policy makers to plan for mediations to reduce the negative influences of such programs, and to capitalize on the opportunities that result from free-will decisions. Keywords: Lebanon, Reality TV, Star Academy, talent contestant shows, teenagers, cultural impact 1. Introduction The mid1990s saw the start of a new era of television programs, whose purpose is to capture fascinating images of real people by filming their lives in front of cameras.

Anne Grüne bietet einen umfangreichen Vergleich deutscher und arabischer Varianten glo- baler Unterhaltungsshows, einschließlich ihrer Produktion und Rezeption. Die syste- matische Analyse bietet neue Perspektiven auf das Theorem der »Glokalisierung«, indem gezeigt werden kann, dass zwar die globale Beachtung gleicher medialer Kon- zepte zur synchronen Modernisierung von Sehgewohnheiten führt, dabei jedoch die lokalen Diskursmuster erhalten bleiben. Unterhaltung ist also nur auf den ersten Blick global. Obwohl die »formatierte Weltkultur« kulturelle Anschlussfähigkeit erzeugt, verharrt die Weltgesellschaft in lokalen Selbstgesprächen.
