Personal relations are always a big issue between individuals deriving from different cultural backgrounds. Even more, flirting is a really intrigue subject, as it is a shared need among all humans independently of their way of thinking, nationality, or culture. Although, it is common, flirting strikes at the very deep of our nature, our feelings and, thus, it is a sensitive issue. It contains many aspects, such as how we promote ourselves, how we express admiration, what we think as attractive, well-being and self-esteem and how others perceive us. The aim of this report is to investigate the flirting behavior of people, the way that people act in order to seduce. The hypothesis behind the project is that even though there are some universal signals of attractiveness and actions of carrying interest, a combination of evolutionary chosen factors and socio-cultural regulations enhances and degrades behavioural elements of people restricting their activity. The research questions that support the hypothesis are:

-Why do people engage in flirting interactions?
-How do people act in flirtatious contexts?
-Are there any common strategies and courting signals?
-How does the seducing situations be influenced by the cultural background and sex

The conducted interviews are casting light in different sides of the central research questions about the flirting interactions in humans. By answering them I will try to get information about the way people seduce, what they feel as important, what they are attracted by, which features they get as a call for initiation. Another crucial aspect and a further step into the topic is whether a variation in style, practices and signs may be construed as offensive or misunderstanding. In other words, whether and how intercultural conflicts might emerge within the social settings deriving from the different ways and perspectives.

Αρχικά, παρουσιάζονται γενικές πληροφορίες για τις μεταβολές που πραγματοποιούνταν την εποχή εκείνη στη γαλλική κοινωνία, για τον νατουραλισμό και για τον ίδιο τον Εμίλ Ζολά. Στη συνέχεια, εξετάζονται οι κοινωνικές διαφορές που περιγράφει ο συγγραφέας στα έργα του. Ακολουθεί ένας επίλογος ο οποίος ολοκληρώνει τη μελέτη και τέλος, παρατίθεται η βιβλιογραφία που συγκεντρώθηκε για την περαίωσή της, η οποία συντάχθηκε με βάση το σύστημα Harvard.

This study aims at identifying the law libraries in the course of human history. To this effect, law libraries are first defined and described and then a brief historical review is made, followed by a short description of certain libraries. Law libraries, archives and collections are identified through literature research, i.e. a search for references in sources and listing thereof. Only some of the law libraries in the world are presented, with a focus on Europe. The study concludes that law libraries have been configured over the ages: from originally being individual private collections, they have ended up becoming part of a broader collection or archive and, eventually, stand-alone autonomous entities.
