Queens Englisch
Queen's English means the standard form of either written or spoken British English regarded as correct.
Queens englisch changes from the aristocratic language to a more and more
middle class language and also the royals try to hide their education behind a more middle class language
and words that we know from their speeches like "hame", which the queens said, change into "home". Words like "dutay" are changed into "dutee" like the normal people say.

with three pictures showing almost the same and one picture on which only the tie is at another place but which changes the whole meaning of the picture. And with the black tie on three pictures which means the people shown are dead and this attractes atention because for most people it is shocking to be confronted with death so it attractes attention by usinf the fears of people.

Buckle up
In the picture published by the german Verkehrswacht you can se four framed pictures of four different people. On three of them are black ties at the upper left corner to show that thei are dead. In the fourth picture the black tie is used as a seatbelt and is around the body of the man who is shown in the picture. There is no sentence or anything else just these four pictures.
The advertising is addressed to people sho drive cars or are driven in cars. It shows the importance of being buckled up because in the picture the three people who were not buckled up died in an car accident but the one being buckled up survived or is buckled up for his own securtity that he will not die in an car accident.
The advert uses the fear of people that they could die being not buckled up and having a car accidents. Moreover the people are made to look at the advert by this three pictures with the people who seem to be dead because of the black tie. The four pictures almost look the same but like it is said above there is a little difference in the last picture the tie is used as a seatbelt. So the small change in the picture changes the whole meaning of this last picutre and this makes the difference between dead or live. It is a detail like to buckle up it does not need much time to buckle up but it makes a big difference.

Text
What different ideas of God are described in the text?
What effects do these concepts have on Amercans' private and political views?
The Authoritative God:
one engaged in history and meting out harsh punishment to those who do not follow him. About 28% of the nation shares this view,
The Benevolent God.
This God is engaged in our world and loves and supports us in caring for others, a vision shared by 22% of Americans
The Critical God
The poor, the suffering and the exploited in this world often believe in a Critical God who keeps an eye on this world but delivers justice in the next.
More working-class people!
The Distant God
Though about 5% of Americans are atheists or agnostics, Baylor found that nearly one in four (24%) see a Distant God that booted up the universe, then left humanity alone.
This doesn't mean that such people have no religion. It's the dominant view of Jews and other followers of world religions and philosophies such as Buddhism or Hinduism.
They identify more with the spiritual and speak of the unknowable God.
Morality. People with an Authoritative God are about three times more likely to say homosexuality is a choice, not an inborn trait, than those who see a Distant God — affecting their views on gay rights, particularly on marriage and adoption.
Science. Those who see God as engaged in daily life (authoritative or benevolent) are nearly twice as likely as those whose God is critical or distant to say that God often performs miracles that defy the laws of nature.
Money. "We are all values and pocketbook voters now," the Baylor sociologists write. "In general, your values reflect your God and your God reflects your pocketbook."
