And not just the town; the people themselves are slowly evolving into something...else.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,3, BSP Business School Berlin (form. Potsdam), language: English, abstract: Climate change is a global problem. According to the majority opinion of renowned experts, humans are to blame for this development. In recent years, industrialization has caused the levels of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere to rise rapidly. The consequences are clearly noticeable in our daily lives, such as rising average temperatures or more frequent extreme weather events.Recent events, such as the diesel scandal, have fueled discussions about the CO2 tax as a more effective measure to deal with climate change. In addition, the diesel scandal showed how the environment is being negligently treated in favor of profit. This has led me to critically analyze emissions trading as one of the current environmental policy measures to reduce greenhouse gases. This is because it is seen in the EU as a particularly powerful tool for achieving climate targets. However, it often also serves as a basis for argumentation against further measures for the environment by companies. The question that occurs to me is what opportunities and risks could arise for Germany from emissions trading.In order to be able to answer this question, it is first necessary to give an initial overview of the topic. It will be explained which functions emissions trading should fulfill and what differences there are between global emissions trading and that in the EU. I then present the scientific findings on emissions and emissions trading to date. Based on the research and the knowledge gained from it, I am able to answer the key question. Finally, my conclusion follows.

Whether shooting portraits or products, skillful lighting can be the difference between a bland snapshot and a stunning, well-defined image. Capturing the ideal photograph requires many technical factors to work in tandem, the most fundamental of which is lighting. While we may take it for granted that light is required to create a photograph, light by itself usually does not produce the style, energy, emotion or feeling that makes a photograph exceptional. It is the way the light has been modified and shaped that gives the photographer the ability to create an image that communicates their feeling about the subject. Its necessary to understand how light works in order to know how to modify it in the most desirous way.Beginning with simplified light concepts, Rand delves into the basics of light. Lights natural tendency is to go off in all directions. To give a better understanding of how to control the light that you use in your photographs, Rand guides the reader through a series of discussions defining the light itself, the surfaces that will interact with the light in the photographs, the look of light that we wish to create and the tools, modifiers and shapers that are commonly available for use. Whether you want to add contrast with highlights and shadows or use the softness of diffuse light to add volume to the subject, the fundamentals of these concepts are covered here. Images, diagrams and descriptions are used to illustrate the manners in which light can be modified.From there, the book moves onto the main tools of light modification. Rand discusses the primary functions of each tool and defines the issues of the lights characteristics after the modification. Techniques are presented for using reflectors, spotlights, softboxes, diffusers, umbrellas, barndoors, gels, scrims, shoots and more. Each chapter is highly illustrated with images of the tools being discussed, diagrams, and examples for the use of these tools in both commercial and portrait photography. Variations in control and problems that may occur with specific modifiers are discussed as well.The goal of this book is to show the effect of modifiers and shapers on the quality of light rather than to discuss the merits of a particular light source. By focusing on the methods to shape light, the photographer is open to improvise in scenarios where they may not have control over the light source. Whether you shoot commercial or portrait photography, this book provides you with the basis for not only successfully, but elegantly shaping light to create your desired result.
