7. That may be true, but _____ 7.0 COUNTERING 7.1 Countering directly (through antithesis) But fox-hunting is part of country life. It's one of our traditions. But public transport is expensive and inconvenient. But English has borrowed from the Romans, the Vikings, the Saxons and the French But freight trains can't deliver goods from door to door But who can say that we will develop into civilized beings? Surely, God has the right to cut his losses! But why play the gold medalists' national anthems and why wear stars and stripes on your swimming costumes? But if you worked on a farm and your chickens were killed by foxes, you'd think differently. But if you detect more crimes, you'll still need prisons. But if you followed that line to its logical conclusion, you'd pardon all criminals.
If you could visit three places anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you do there? If I could visit three places in the world, I think I'd choose civilized places in Europe, America and Australia rather than exotic locations. I've been to abroad and I like travelling. Firstly I would like to go to America. If I had to choose, I'd probably go to San Francisco. There are a lot of sights: Golden Gate Bridge, the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, Alcatraz, City Hall, Chinatown, Museum of Modern Art and AT&T Park, where I could watch the baseball match of San Francisco Giants. Secondly I'd like to visit Australian city Sydney
who commit crimes. Ultimately, the death penalty is an utter denial of human rights. It implies that killing is acceptable under certain circumstances. Relatively few developed countries in the world impose the death penalty. Japan and South Korea are the only established democracies in the world, other than the US, which still conduct executions. The execution rate in Japan is a small fraction of that in the US. So it is high time the US society kept track with other civilized countries which value individual life and liberty above all else, where justice, not vengeance, is the only guiding principle of the system of criminal law. The death penalty must be eradicated from the society once and for all.
Laivi Tuvahe for trying to leach integrity and honor from our souls. While I am desirous of mending this tiny personality flaw, by brainwashing her apologists with anarchism, Laivi makes them easy to lead, easy to program, and easy to enslave. I would like to comment on Laivi's attempt to associate hooliganism with Dadaism. There is no association. Should we be concerned that Laivi wants to destroy that which is the envy of--and model for--the entire civilized world? I'll answer that question for you: Yes, we should doubtlessly be concerned because in a rather infamous speech, she exclaimed that she does the things she does "for the children". (I edited out the rest of what she said because, well, it didn't really say anything.) I know that I'm emotional now, but the poisonous wine of pessimism had been distilled long before she entered the scene. Laivi is merely the agent
The Status of Women in The World For a long time, through the history of human kind, women have fought for their rights. Issue of women rights and women status has always been discussed and there are many different points of view on this problem. In civilized community you are taught to respect human being as an equal to yourself. It just happens to be, that many eastern regions of men are not as happy as western nations, about the idea of leaving the wonderful life, in which they could tell a random female to strip and make them happy, for a life of begging for the thing they have been getting so easily. In europe a wife in a household is irreplaceable. No man is capable of raising
Emile Durkheim (Durkheim, 1912) tries to explain meaning by describing the importance of religion in social interactions, and by portraying the similarities between social interaction and religion. Society never stops creating sacred things. Durkheim (Durkheim, 1912) elaborates, that "when a belief is shared by all people, to deny or question it is forbidden." He brings an example of the right to free speech even if individuals' opinions differ gravely, in a civilized communication they will still respect the principle of free discussion. Durkheim assures that "we defer to society's orders not simply because it is equipped to overcome our resistance but, first and foremost, because it is the object of genuine respect". Thus, commonly generated meaning compels people to maintain social order because it in itself carries meaning for all the individuals in the society. However, as Hechter and Horne (Hechter and Horne, 2003:91) would argue, meaning can not
I'd certainly agree if you're thinking of the World Cup. 6. I'm afraid I don't agree. 6. DISAGREEING 6.1 Expressing complete disagreement In my opinion, fashion is a complete waste of time, money and resources. I disagree entirely. The world would be a boring place without change. In my view, government money shouldn't be used to support the Arts. I'm afraid I can't agree. Public support for the Arts is the hallmark of a civilized society. Surely, the technology for all this isn't going to be very user-friendly. On the contrary. There'll be different levels of user-friendliness for different users. .... it's impossible to generalize about why people prefer married to single status. Rubbish! It must be possible to compare living together with someone to living on your own. What about the question of independence? 6.2 Using irony to express disagreement
Overall, they are enjoying themselves, but with what price? I have experienced that on myself. On a summer few years ago I almost didn't leave my home for the whole summer at all. By home I mean my village and the only exception was that I had a disease for a few weeks and I had to go to the doctor's in Tartu. As you can assume, I live at countryside, so I mostly socialized with my family, neighbours and of course, online. When I finally went back to the civilized world I had a blast. I was afraid, cautious and most of all retarded at communicating. I have experienced what too much virtual communication can do to us and believe me you don't want to try it. While having some negative sides, virtual communication is generally still a very good thing because thanks to this advanced technology people from countries around the globe can communicate quickly and easily every day. And not only ordinary people use it; virtual
out of the cave, happens upon Injun Joe, who is using the cave as a hideout. Eventually, just as the searchers are giving up, Tom finds a way out. The town celebrates, and Becky’s father, Judge Thatcher, locks up the cave. Injun Joe, trapped inside, starves to death. A week later, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, and, when Huck attempts to escape civilized life, Tom promises him that if he returns to the widow, he can join Tom’s robber band. Reluctantly, Huck agrees.
individual support. This is why public services such as military defense and police service are provided by governments. 4 The Main Economical Problem The free rider issue has become one of the most serious economic issues today. The free rider is a lazy type person who wants the benefits that others bring in without having to do the work. The free rider typically takes advantage of a public good. Living in a civilized society presents many opportunities for free riding, which we have yet to find a way to control. Economists regard the possibility for free riding as a problem for the free market, which usually leads to government intervention. Government intervention is not generally needed in a free market society but in this case if there were no government intervention this problem would not find a solution. The free-rider issue is often seen as a serious problem because of the assumption that a
has been detected. They do recognize that the actual fault is with the machinery and that it should have been "designed for error" in the first place. "To err is human" Norman states, and I wholeheartedly agree. Norman, quite interestingly, goes as far as to absolve some designers of their sins, at least partially, demonstrating a great deal of common sense in doing so. The fault is often with the industry, with the society and with the unbending bureaucracy and inertia of the whole civilized mechanism - those are the reasons why feedback chain is virtually non-existent as new generations of product are already under development when the previous ones hit the shelves, people demanding new trinkets ASAP and having a tendency to overestimate the value of multitude of functions, dated standards that are too costly to change and the right time to do so never seems to arrive... DOET is certainly not lacking in examples and in providing those Norman went the path he is

untrustworthy and insincere. Actually, an attempt to apply such an absurd proposal in practice was not originally considered by the author; it is more likely a hidden satire, which is intended to draw the attention of the authorities to what is happening in the country. Alongside with the exquisite use of satire and cynicism the reader can also trace the paradoxical nature of the Swift's work. The fact that an Englishman proposes barbarous prescriptions for the Irish ridicules the highly civilized society of England. By calculating the number of children, who can become a "delicacy" for the nobility and talking that child's skin would make "admirable gloves for ladies" and "summer boots for fine gentlemen", Swift indirectly comes to the severe criticism of the ruling class. The words "admirable" and "fine", he thus uses, put even more emphasis on his negative attitude to the situation. I assume, that being an Irish by birth Jonathan Swift
structuring the public policy agenda. Structuring Political Competition In July 2000, in his first ,,state of the nation" speech at the annual opening of Parliament, president Putin turned to the legislature to express his dissatisfaction with the state of country's party system and made clear his intention to improve this. A year later, at one of his press conferences Putin declared: ,,If there are de facto two-, three-, and four-party systems in developed, civilized countries, why do there have to be 350 or 5,000 parties in Russia? This is a kind of Bacchanalia, not democracy"(Rose et al. 2011: 46). Putin's main aim was to give structure and regularity to political competition. Yet, the established laws were largely seen as attempts to eliminate most parties and assert full state control over the few that survive (Fish 2001: 77) Already in December 2000 the presidential law ,,On Political Parties" was published. The aim
1) INDIAN ROCK ART: A NATIONAL TREASURE IN DANGER Unrecognized, unprotected, this priceless legacy of primitive art has endured the ravages of nature only to fall victim to wanton destruction by ,,civilized" man. Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges. Nowadays, however, primitive rock art in the United States has become a new field of scientific study. Klaus F Wellmann wrote two books about rock art. He is a professor of medicine. Rock art represents the

Genre painting depicts people's common social relations and activities in a general sense. Exemplary artists. William Sidney Mount (early-C19). He depicted the environment of Long Island. He creates stories and invested pictures with warmth and humor. He represented blacks as dignified human beings. George Caleb Bingham (early-C19). He depicted the everyday life of the frontier. He depicted river life and politics. His West is pleasant, sunny and free of civilized constraints. His manner is grand and his figures are precisely placed. He selected subjects both singular and typical. He displayed his faith in the democratic process with his series of paintings on elections. John James Audubon (early-C19). He studied American birds. His works are both records and masterpieces, thus his achievements are dually great. He was self-taught. He had a sense of design and an ability to render the characteristics of the bird. George Catlin (early-C19)

on earth. Brits to ancient romans what Africans to 20th century. Civilization versus barbarism: which is which? Different levels of darkness: of Congo wilderness, of European exploitation of natives, of general human nature-inherent evil. Outside social control(superego). Man is capable of committing heinous (jälk ) actions. Civilization vs barbarism: which is which? The treatment of the natives at the Company's station increases the barbarity of the "civilized" whites. First Marlowe sees a chain gang of several natives who seem starved and nearly worked to death. As they pass by, they seem to have the blank stare of death, unconscious to Marlowe's presence even though they pass within six inches of him. Again in the grove of death, Marlowe sees the effect of the civilizing light of Europe upon the natives. "They were dying slowly . . . nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation . . . lost
Columbus did not prove that the world was round; educated people had known that for centuries. The Egyptian-Greek scientist Erastosthenes, working for Alexandria and Aswan, already had measured the circumference and diameter of the world in the third century B.C. Did Columbus "discover" America? Yes--in every important respect. This does not mean that no human eye had been cast on America before Columbus arrived. It does mean that Columbus brought America to the attention of the civilized world, i.e., to the growing, scientific civilizations of Western Europe. The result, ultimately, was the United States of America. It was Columbus' discovery for Western Europe that led to the influx of ideas and people on which this nation was founded--and on which it still rests. The opening of America brought the ideas and achievements of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, and the thousands of thinkers, writers, and inventors who followed.

eager to share the happiness of a dictatorship-free nation; on the other, she expects to find `much hardship, tension, dissention, suspicion' (1992, p. xiv). Hoffman adopts the hegemonic Western cliche´ of `the other Europe' as `less developed, less civilized, more turbulent and strife-ridden, [. . .] a source either of primitive savagery or of operetta entertainment' (1999, p. 11). Such preliminary representations will inform Á and confront Á the writers' further cultural translations of Romania.

They didn't hunt the way others of their kind did -- they weren't supposed to be dangerous to the tribe. So my great-grandfather made a truce with them. If they would promise to stay off our lands, we wouldn't expose them to the pale- faces." He winked at me. "If they weren't dangerous, then why... ?" I tried to understand, struggling not to let him see how seriously I was considering his ghost story. "There's always a risk for humans to be around the cold ones, even if they're civilized like this clan was. You never know when they might get too hungry to resist." He deliberately worked a thick edge of menace into his tone. "What do you mean, 'civilized'?" "They claimed that they didn't hunt humans. They supposedly were somehow able to prey on animals instead." I tried to keep my voice casual. "So how does it fit in with the Cullens? Are they like the cold ones your greatgrandfather met?" "No." He paused dramatically. "They are the same ones."
He was younger than I'd assumed at first. Younger than thirty would be my guess, but his eyes were much worldlier. Hard and sharply intelligent. I felt drawn to him, as if a rope bound my waist and he was slowly, inexorably pulling it. Blinking out of my semi-daze, I released him. He wasn't just beautiful; he was...enthralling. He was the kind of guy that made a woman want to rip his shirt open and watch the buttons scatter along with her inhibitions. I looked at him in his civilized, urbane, outrageously expensive suit and thought of raw, primal, sheet-clawing fucking. He bent down and retrieved the ID card I hadn't realized I'd dropped, freeing me from that provocative gaze. My brain stuttered back into gear. I was irritated with myself for feeling so awkward while he was so completely self-possessed. And why? Because I was dazzled, damn it. He glanced up at me and the pose-him nearly kneeling before me-skewed my equilibrium again
quently to new residences, which are built and torn down more quickly; we contact more people and have shorter relationships with them; in the supermarket, car showroom, and shopping mall, we are faced with an array of choices among styles and products that were unheard of last year and may well be obsolete or forgotten by next year. Novelty, transience, diversity, and acceleration are acknowledged as prime descriptors of civilized existence. This avalanche of information and choices is made possible by burgeoning technological progress. Leading the way are developments in our ability to collect, store, retrieve, and communicate information. At first, the fruits of such advances were limited to large organizations-government agencies or powerful corpora- tions. With further developments in telecommunications and computer technol-
