Berufswahl bei Jugendlichen: Ein Plädoyer für die Geisteswissenschaften Studier was Richtiges, hören junge Personen oft und damit sind selten Geisteswissenschaften gemeint. Obwohl man da kritisch denken lernt. Ein Plädoyer.

Wenn du schon studieren willst, dann studier was Vernünftiges.

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum?
There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.
