Referat: Folkevisen starter i første strofe med at fortælle om familien. Om at de var mange søskende og at faderen døde meget tidligt. Sønnerne sleb deres spyd en søndag aften, inden de tidlig mandag morgen, red vrede ud for at finde hr. Torben. De red nord for skoven da de finder hr. Torben. De vil tage hævn. Hr. Torben tigger dem om at lade ham være, han tilbyder dem hus og gård og dermed også hans datter. Men de vil ikke have noget af ham, de var kun kommet for at få blodhævn. De dræbte ham og huggede ham ud. Så red de til hr. Torbens gård, hvor hans unge smukke datter stod med et drikke bægre i hver sin hånd. Hun skålede først med hendes fars drabsmand. Hun vidste på det tidspunkt ikke hvad der vat sket. Han bliver pludselig så fuld at han fortæller hende, at hvis han havde vidst hun var så god, havde han ikke slået hendes fra ihjel. Datteren bliver chokeret over denne indrømmelse, da hun jo ikke kan forsørge sig selv. Da drabsmanden synes godt om hende, tager han hende med på hesten, og med for at forsørge hende.

Genre: Genren er en folkevise

Type folkevise: Torbens datter tilhører folkevise-genren, riddervise. Riddervisen er kendetegnet ved, at være realistisk og omhandle adelens og riddernes liv, og skildrer konflikter i og mellem slægter. I dette tilfælde, er det konflikten mellem Hr. Torben og en anden slægt.

Titel: Torbens datter, som var en klassisk vise i middelalderen. Men forfatteren er ukendt.

Visens Opbygning:

Antal strofer: Visen strejker sig over 15 strofer, og i hver strofe er der to vers, undtagen i strofe 1 og 15 hvor der er fire vers. I de to strofer bliver der gentaget det samme i vers 2 og 4. I hver strofe er der enderim, og hvis man tæller omkvædet med, er det krydsrim.
(Skov-plov, strofe 3, vers 1-2)-( Fin-Min, strofe 4, vers 1-2)-(Gård-Mår, strofe 5, vers 1-2)

Omkvædet:
- under lide -
Der dagen han dages, og duggen den driver så vide. (Strofe 1 og 15, vers 2-4)

Motiv: Motivet i visen er hævn, som man kan se (strofe 2 til 7). De kom ikke for at få hans jord eller noget andet, men for at dræbe ham. Det var for at tage hævn.

Handlingsforløb: Indledning: En aften samlede en gruppe mænd sig og sleb deres spyd. En af deres slægtninge var blevet dræbt, og nu ville de hævne sig. Drabsmanden hr. Torben skulle selv lide døden. Mindre kunne ikke gøre det. Næste morgen red de ud, for at dræbe Torben, som gik og pløjede.
Klimaks: Mændene dræber Torben.
Afslutning: Mændene tager Torbens datter med sig, fordi de mener de gør noget godt for hende, da hun ingen far har mere.

Miljø: Miljøet er gammelt og det foregår på landet, hos Hr. Torben (strofe 4-5). Miljøet i visen passer også godt, til tidsperioden, som visen er skrevet i. Middelanderen fordi, det var også meget gammeldags med spyd (strofe 2) og plove (strofe 3).

Tid: Jeg mener at folkevisen strækker sig over 2 dage. Den første dag er søndag aften, hvor de sleb deres spyd og den anden dag, altså dagen efter, er mandag hvor de drager ud.
(Strofe 2). Og som jeg fortalte er den skrevet i middelaldertiden, som er 1200tallet.

Personer:

-Hovedperson
Torbens datter: Torbens datter, er den egentlige hovedperson i visen. Hun er en meget smuk pige (Strofe 11,vers 1) og vi får at vide at hun er tynd som en vånd (Strofe 9,vers 1). Jeg vil også sige, at hun er god til at tilgive, da hun jo rejser af sted med sin fars banemand/Drabsmand. (Strofe 15)

-Biperson
Torben: Vi får ikke noget konkret at vide, om Torbens rang, udseende og den slags, men han står og pløjer (Strofe 3, vers 2) , så går jeg ud fra at han er en bondemand. Han virker dog på ingen måde fattig, da hans datter tager imod rytterne, med et guldkar på hver sin hånd (Strofe 9, vers 2). Vi må også gå ud fra, at han tidligere har slået et andet menneske ihjel, siden rytterne komme for at få hævn (Strofe 4, vers 2).

Sproget:

Sproget indeholder nogle faste vendinger og udtryk, som vi kan genkende fra mange andre folkeviser. Eksempler på dette er Hr. Torbens datter, der, var “så væn en mår” (strofe 5 og 8, vers 2) og Hr. Torben selv, der var “faver og fin” (strofe 4, vers 1). Noget andet, der er typisk for folkeviserne, er, at der ikke er den store beskrivelse af personerne. Mange har ikke engang et navn. I “Torbens datter” skildres for eksempel kun hr. Torben med navn, hvorimod resten af personerne intet navn har. Der bliver også brugt nogle ord, som man ikke rigtigt vil bruge, nu til dags. Fx mår (stofe 5, vers 2), vånd (strofe 9, vers 2) og frænde (strofe 4, vers 2).

Konflikt:

Konflikten opstår ved at Hr.Torben, har drabt banemandens fader. Derefter udvikler situation til at, banemanden ridder af sted for at hævne hans faders død. Han dræber Hr.Torben og derefter fortsatte de hen til gården. Der møder han, Hr. Torbens datter som han blev forelsket i hende. "Så slog han over hende kåben blå" (strofe 14, vers 2), blå symbolisere troskab, så jeg tolker det som om de sværger hinanden troskab. Folkeviser afsluttes næsten altid lykkeligt eller tragisk. I dette sammenhæng, er det lidt svært at forholde sig til en lykkelig afslutning. Men det vil jeg sige.

Tema/Budskab: Temaet i visen er hævn. Visen starter som et hævntogt, men ender som en kærlighedshistorie, hvor de involverede forbryder sig mod deres slægt, og bliver fredløse. Så budskabet må klart være, at man skal være tro mod sin slægt.

Perspektivering:

Resume af Nørdenes Forvandling: Alf har været syg i et stykke tid, og da han kommer tilbage i skolen er der sket noget mærkeligt. Han er ikke længere en af dem der griner med, når andre bliver drillet. Nu er det ham de griner af. Selv lærerne er ude efter ham. Efter den første forvirring har lagt sig, beslutter han sig for at gøre noget. Derfor slår han sig sammen med klassens anden mobbeoffer Tykke. Eller Toke som han rigtigt hedder. De kalder sig Magtens sønner og sværger på at få hævn. De vil forvandle sig til vindertyper og score alle pigerne. Der skal forandringer til, for at arbejde sig op fra bunden af hierarkiet. Noget af de første drengene gør er at ændre deres navne til Ulf og Bjørn.

Man kan se i begge fortællinger at det er hævn, som er de store overskrifter, som i Torbens datter kan ses (Strofe 4-6, vers 2). I begge fortællinger, er der også en konflikt som sætter hævnen i gang, for i Nørdernes Forvandling bliver de til mobbeoffer og i Torbens datter, har hr. Torben, slået banemandens fader ihjel. (Strofe 1, vers 3), men tilfældes er der en konflikt som sætter hævnen i gang. I begge fortællinger er de målrettet og gør som de har planlagt, for i Nørdernes Forvandling (sværger de på at få hævn) og i Torbens datter, ridder banemanden ud for at hævn sin faders død og da han er der, tilbyder hr. Torben hus, gård og datter, men dræber ham alligevel (Strofe 5). Og i begge historier formår de også og hævne sig. I begge historier ændrer de også deres sind og adfærd. På den måde, at i Nørdernes Forvandling ændre Alf og Toke sig og bliver en af de høje i hierarkiet. I Torbens datter, ændre banemanden og slutter fred med slægten, for han forelsker sig med hr. Torbens datter. (Strofe 11,12 og 13).

Case: the German Food Chain Lidl in Norway

...Bad decision making: The German food chain LIDL in Norway LIDL is a global discount supermarket chain from Germany. Since 1988 the company expanded to 21 states e.g. Italy, France, Great Britain, Spain and many Eastern European countries. In 2004 LIDL entered the Norwegian marked. Norway at this point had no real low price food market and the LIDL managers were sure of having a big advantage using their low price strategy and without having competitors in that field. After only four years the company announced its withdrawal from Norway due to sustained losses and all the stores were sold to a Norwegian supermarket chain. What happened? The Norwegian people avoided LIDL because they favoured their traditional brands and small shops over the imported products and the big LIDL-stores. Three psychological traps that undermined the decision of the LIDL management should be highlighted: Sunk-Cost Trap: After LIDL realized the absence of success in 2006, they decided not to rethink their local strategy but to open another 20 new stores in the capital Oslo. The management tried to compensate former losses by increasing the number of stores. Confirming-Evidence Trap: Klaus Gehrig, chairman of the board, is said to be the power behind the strict expansion policy. He justified the Norwegian expansion by referring to the success in other countries but fades out Sweden and Denmark, where LIDL suffered from similar problems. Estimating and Forecasting Trap: The LIDL managers...

...Eating Sugar The short story written by Catherine Merriman named ”Eating Sugar, was originally published in ”Getting a life”, Honno, in 2001. A third person narrator tells the short story and furthermore the narrator is omniscient. It seems to me that the time is not important in this short story. On the contrary the environment, the surroundings, are described into details. In this analysis I have chosen to focus on the description of the surroundings, a short analysis of Eileen and Alex and their relation, an analysis of the title “Eating Sugar” in comparison with the contents of the short story. Furthermore I have chosen to take the extract of the essay “A Small Place” and the picture “Tourists 2” into perspective. Finally I will discuss the globalization of the English language in the world today. In the short story we meet a family of three, Alex, the father, Eileen, the mother and their daughter Suzanne. Eileen works as a teacher in Thailand, where they live, and the moment she gets her Thai New Year holiday they decide to become tourists. They go on a trip with other holidaying Thais but when they decide to leave the paradise the small British family of three decide to stay so that they can have the small paradise to themselves. Alex and Eileen have been together most of their lives at least since the 1970s. Together they have tried LSD and they have also travelled to Yugoslavia hitchhiking - long-haired innocents as Alex himself calls it. Alex starts...

...about her perception of the Law of Jante was that “it’s bullshit”. Later in the day, I asked another woman of roughly the same age, named Ida, the same question, and I was astonished that she had the exact same response. Both women went further into their beliefs of the law, but tended to have a negative connotation with the theory. On the contrary, many individuals, mostly older, thought the law showed a sign of respect and added a submissive humbleness to Danes and their culture. Rasmus, a middle-aged man who was very enthusiastic and enlightening with his response, stated that it was a reputable theory that was seen and apart of the Danish culture, but also stated that it hindered individuals from talking about the success in their life. Even though it was not apart of the assignment, I went ahead and asked a few individuals who were not Danish their perception of the law and once again found another perception. These individuals...

American Values

...American values The American values are very different from the Danish. In their world every man owns their own luck, but in Denmark we have to help the weak, which we do through our taxes. In Denmark nobody is really rich, because the richest people pay more to society, so that the poor people do not have to pay anything. If you get rich in America, it is all on you. It is not your responsibility to help the poor. Some famous people choose to do it anyways through charity, but the question is, if this is mostly to promote themselves, or if it is actually to help people. Looking at Hofstedes 4 dimensions, there are also a lot of differences between the Danish and the American culture. Power distance is the first dimension. America has a lot of power distance compared to Denmark. They have some Christian societies, where the pastor is above everyone else. But this is very different from place to place. America is so big, so there are also other places, where there is very little power distance, but I still think Denmark takes the title as the Country with the least power distance. It is very rare, that you see an American call their teacher by first name. The next dimension is collectivism vs. individualism. As I wrote in the beginning, America is a country for individualists, where the personal freedom fills the most, while Denmark is very collectivistic, where we help the weakest, so everybody have an income even though some people do not even have a job. Uncertainty avoidance...

Smith introduced fractional distillation that produces liquor without fusel alcohol in Sweden in 1877, under the name "Tiodubbelt Renadt Brännvin" (Tenfold Purified Vodka). Brännvin literally means "burn-wine" and is analogous to the German "Branntwein". The term is also used in Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic.[citation needed] ("Vodka" was not used for Swedish liquor until 1958, with the potato-based Explorer Vodka.) The name was changed to "Absolut Rent Brännvin" (Absolutely Pure Vodka) by Smith to market his much improved product. [1] Smith challenged the city of Stockholm's liquor marketing monopoly with his vodka. It was sold at a lower price than the monopoly's product, just outside the city border. Smith even offered free boat rides to the distillery and "Rent Brännvin" made Smith a fortune.[1] In 1917, the alcohol industry in Sweden was monopolized by the Swedish government. Vodka was then sold nationwide under the name "Absolut Rent Brännvin". The name changed with intervals, Renat Brännvin or Absolut Rent Brännvin. In 1979, the old name Absolut was picked up when the upper-price range ABSOLUT VODKA was introduced. Renat is still a euphemism...

Copyright © 2008, Ivey Management Services Educational material supplied by The Case Centre Copyright encoded A76HM-JUJ9K-PJMN9I Order reference F240103 Version: (A) 2008-06-24 INTRODUCTION Director Allan Rasmussen took a good deal of pride in the achievements of Coloplast A/S1 (Coloplast) in Tatabánya, Hungary. In consecutive quarters in 2004, the plant had outperformed the company’s longer established Danish production units in quality levels (see Exhibit 1). Rasmussen had been the Tatabánya plant’s manager, its first, since 2001. Just three and a half years later, he was responsible for the daily management of a plant with a head count of 550 and production valued at 1.5 billion Danish kroner (DKK). In 2005, he resumed his position as director of Coloplast’s Danish subsidiary and returned to Denmark. With the Hungarian operation, Coloplast had learned important lessons in designing and implementing a relocation process, and in managing the communication involved. Although Coloplast had some minor production facilities outside of Denmark, the scope of its involvement in Hungary was unparalleled. When the expansion was completed, the Hungarian unit would employ 900 staff — roughly 15 per cent of the company’s total workforce. Coloplast’s involvement in Tatabánya was part of the...

Immigration in London

...Immigration in London The article ”I feel like a stranger where I live”, written by Jane Kelly in January 2013, deals with Jane Kelly’s understanding of the Muslim immigrants, their religion and their culture, and which consequences it has brought a long, since they settled down in the same area in a foreign country. But is the clash of cultures in reality a problem? And will we one day be able to live side by side each other, or are the cultural differences simply too big? One thing is for sure, and that is, that Jane Kelly certainly expresses her frustrations and irritations towards the immigrants living around her, in the text “I feel like a stranger where I live”. The text takes place in west London, in a city called Acton Vale, where Jane Kelly lives. On one hand the text can be interpret, as if Jane Kelly is slightly racist, but on the other hand it can be interpret as a cry out for help, because she actually wishes to live among the immigrants, and share a community with them. Some of the sentences in her text has a racist undertone, for example: “Most of the shops are now owned by Muslims and even the fish and chip shop and Indian takeaway are Halal. It seems that almost overnight it’s changed from Acton Vale into Acton Veil” (p. 1, l. 6-8). This part particularly seems to indicate, that Jane Kelly has a grudge in general against immigrants, as she attaches importance to the fact, that it is Muslims, who she is talking about. And she’s even joking about, that...
