What does this tool comprise?<\/h3>\n

This glossary is a collection of terms with explanations. The terms presented here are explicitly not definitions. They are not set in stone for all eternity.<\/p>\n

Some come from the US-American language region and have not yet found a German equivalent. The terms are often dependent on the local social contexts in which they are used, and their meanings shift in use.<\/p>\n

They provide a temporary snapshot of our time, as we all know how quickly social conditions can change.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
