OrO
is
the
Educational
Research
and
Development
department
of
the
Amsterdam
University
for
Professional
Education
(HvA).
OrO’s
activities
center
around
researching
and
implementing
educational
innovation,
based
on
the
concept
of
'learning
to
learn',
or
‘motivational
learning’.
Ours
is
a
competence-based
approach
to
learning
and
programs:
our
core
business,
as
we
perceive
it,
is
the
design
of
inspiring
learning
environments.

Babel.
That’s
right,
finishing
where
we
left
off.
Making
tower
meet
sky
so
you
can
play
dice
with
the
Man
and
Woman
Upstairs.
Our
building
plans
are
universal,
so
just
tear
your
tongue
out
right
now
‘cause
you
won’t
need
it.
And
while
you’re
at
it,
take
your
tattered
cultural
baggage,
fill
it
with
soul
candy,
and
tack
it
to
the
celestial.
This
is
gonna
be
a
party,
and
we’ll
beat
that
cultural
piñata
until
it
rains.
Babel
speaks
your
language.
Babel
stands
with
you
toe
to
toe
and
eye
to
eye.
Babel
always
turns
the
other
cheek.
Babel
begs
you
to
dip
your
hand
in
and
rip
out
our
hearts.
They’re
yours.
But
Babel
demands
allegiance.
To
be
our
master,
you
must
be
our
slave.
For
we
are
the
generals
who
know
too
much
to
lead,
the
foot
soldiers
who
know
too
much
to
follow.
Join
our
ranks.
The
weak
we’ll
make
our
kings.
Of
the
strong?
We’ll
make
them
our
fools.
Babel
invites
you
to
get
nekkid
and
boogie
to
the
universal
beat
-
stone
on
stone
in
an
endless
rhythm
to
the
heavens.

Culture,
factor
of
Realpolitik
:
influence
of
cultural
and
religious
history
on
modernity
The
interculturality
is
not
cultural
tourism
and
the
culture
is
more
than
the
folklore.
Today,
the
international
politics
must
be
apprehended
from
the
"metapolitic"
point
of
view.
No
authentic
cultural
pluralism
is
possible
without
political
pluralism.
It
is
essential
for
world
civilization
to
ensure
the
compatibility
of
technology
and
the
culture.
In
the
mosaic
of
the
cultures
and
civilizations,
technology
is
not
neutral,
it
must
pass
by
a
process
of
acculturation,
to
be
in
harmony
with
the
cultural
and
religious
traditions
to
ensure
political
stability
and
a
durable
economic
development.
The
world
civilization
of
the
21e
century
must
be
apprehended
in
a
preoccupation
with
a
dialogue,
by
avoiding
a
centralizing
approach
in
all
the
fields
of
the
life,
across
all
the
monisms.
It
is
advisable
to
carry
outa
"cultural
disarmament"
of
technocracy,
to
carry
out
a
dialogue
which
is
truly
one,
because
military
disarmament
with
him
only
is
not
enough.
World
civilization
is
equivalent
to
a
multiple
universe
of
cultures,
it
is
necessary
to
arrive
to
a
polylogy
of
the
cultures.

How
Credible
is
Coca-Cola?
Beyond
Coke's
Crimes
in
Colombia:
This
is
a
summary
of
Coke's
abuses
outside
Colombia
which
should
be
very
useful
for
public
relations
and
organizing
efforts.
We're
anxious
to
receive
articles
and
other
information
that
we
can
use
to
further
document
the
case
against
Coke.
We
believe
the
evidence
shows
that
Coca-Cola
and
its
corporate
network
is
rife
with
immorality,
corruption
and
complicity
in
murder.
Since
Coca-Cola
consistently
fails
to
live
up
to
the
standards
for
“corporate
responsibility”
as
set
out
in
its
own
“code
of
business
conduct,”
this
report
should
be
helpful
to
students,
faculty
and
others
seeking
to
rescind,
not
renew
or
not
consider
contracts
with
Coke.
