    OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools Country Background Report for Austria Prepared by Michael Bruneforth, Bernhard Chabera, Stefan Vogtenhuber, Lorenz Lassnigg Autumn 2015 This report was prepared by the Ministry of Education and Women’s Affairs (BMBF), the Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation & Development of the Austrian School System (BIFIE) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) as an input to the OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools. The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have established a partnership for the project, whereby participation costs of countries which are part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme are partly covered. The participation of Austria was organised with the support of the EC in the context of this partnership. The report responds to guidelines the OECD provided to all countries and it aimed to prepare for the country visit of the OECD review team to Austria in June 2015. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the national authority, the OECD or its member countries. Further information about the OECD Review is available at www.oecd.org/edu/school/schoolresourcesreview.htm. The published version of the country background report entails a number of editorial changes. The page numbers given in the reference “Bruneforth et al., forthcoming” in the country review report Nusche, D., T. Radinger, M. R. Busemeyer, H.

  • Literary Censorship: the Changing Standards
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 6; November 2015 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Literary Censorship: The Changing Standards Laila Al-Sharqi King AbdulAziz University, Saudi-Arabia Irum Saeed Abbasi (Corresponding author) California State University, CA, USA E-mail: [email protected] Received: 14-03- 2015 Accepted: 18-06- 2015 Advance Access Published: August 2015 Published: 01-11- 2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.6p.33 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.6p.33 Abstract Censorship is a double-edged sword that has bred legal, political, and moral wrangling across the globe. The basic controversy, which harkens back to ancient times, stems from the motivation and intention of the censoring authority. The censoring authority controls literary and informational contents, based on the promulgated political, moral, religious, and cultural values of the land. Historically, the politicians, judiciary, clergymen, powerful groups, and the public at large were involved in guarding public morals and rooting out obscenity. The obscenity laws outlawed the selling, purchasing, printing, importing, and mailing of obscene items. However, in today's day and age, the Internet has made it difficult to control the circulation of what was once considered obscene. Censorship has evolved to monitor and control online content to keep abreast with the changing times; nevertheless, it does not always effectively control the questionable content.
