A Farewell to Arms as an Anti-War Novel

07 Декабря 2012, реферат

There are indications in each of the novel’s five books that Ernest Hemingway meant A Farewell to Arms to be a testament against war. World War One was a cruel war with no winners; ”War is not won by victory” (47). Lieutenant Frederic Henry, the book’s hero and narrator, experiences the disillusionment, the hopelessness and the disaster of the war. But Henry also experiences a passionate love; a discrepancy that ironically further describes the meaninglessness and the frustration felt by the soldiers and the citizens.

A role of the Environmental Ethics in the modern society

02 Июня 2013, реферат

The inspiration for environmental ethics was the first Earth Day in 1970 when environmentalists started urging philosophers who were involved with environmental groups to do something about environmental ethics. An intellectual climate had developed in the last few years of the 1960s in large part because of the publication of two papers in Science: Lynn White`s “The Historical Roots of our Ecological Crisis” (March 1967) and Garett Hardin`s "The Tragedy of the Commons" (December 1968). Most influential with regard to this kind of thinking, however, was an essay in Aldo Leopold`s A Sand County Almanac, "The Land Ethic," in which Leopold explicitly claimed that the roots of the ecological crisis were philosophical.

Accuracy Versus Fluency in English

23 Сентября 2013, реферат

Why teaching speaking is so difficult? If we compare it to teaching listening skills, where varieties of techniques have been developed since the introduction of the oral communication courses, partly with the aid of new technological devices such as the closed captioning system or mini disk, teaching speaking seems to be far behind.
One reason for this stagnation is that there is no view commonly agreed upon of what successful speaking is. One view is that the speech is thought to be successful as long as the learner can make himself/herself understood no matter how incorrect the language is, while another view insists on correctness in every aspect of language ranging from grammar to pronunciation.

Birds, for example, are the only animals that have feathers, while mammals are the only ones that have fur. Animals are also classified according to other characteristics, including their internal anatomy, patterns of development, and genetic makeup.

Argotismen als "Parole" der asozialen Elemente der Gesellschaft

14 Марта 2014, реферат

Relativ stabile soziale Gruppen existieren als Familie, als Alters-, Freizeit-, Interessen-, und Organisationsgruppen. Auch hier bilden sich durch gemeinsame Kommunikationsbedürfnisse, -aufgaben, -gegenstände und -situationen gruppenspezifische Wortschätze heraus. Das Spektrum solcher Gruppenwortschätze ist sehr breit. Es reicht von solchen mit einem festgelegten terminologischen Kern, wie er als Sonderwortschatz verschiedener Spiel- und Sportarten existiert, bis hin zu solchen sich schnell verändernden, sich um Originalität bemühenden Sprachformen der Jugendlichen und Minderjährigen [9, S. 237]. Untersuchungen zum Sprachgebrauch sozialer Gruppen und Randgruppen zielen sowohl auf schichtenspezifische verbale Codes als auch auf gruppenspezifische Sprachverwendungen [6, S. 72].
