questions and was put together by the authors of this paper. The sample was 8th and 12th graders studying in Ülenurme Gymnasium in 2011/2012. All 49 questionnaires were answered and returned. The results showed that the number of students consuming alcohol in the 8. and 12. grade is more than the average. More than half of 8th graders have consumed alcohol, 6 students have been drunk and 8 students have tried alcohol in small amounts. The most frequent consumption was once a month. Both strong and light alcohol is preferred, the latter being still more popular. Out of 12th graders all 23 students answered they have drank alcohol, 21 of them admitting being drunk in their life. The most frequent consumption of alcohol was 2-3 times a month. Both strong and light alcohol is popular among 17 students. The research showed that preferences and the frequency of drinking alcohol grows with age. KASUTATUD KIRJANDUS

English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning �
1. Ancient Britain: the Celtic tribes. 2000 years ago there was an Iron Age Celtic culture throughout the Br Isles. It seems that the Celts, who had been arriving from Europe from the 8th cent BC onward, intermingled with the peoples who were already there. The Celts were extremely talented people, creative and artistic. More than 1 Celtic tribe invaded Br. The descendants of ancient Celts live in Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and Ireland. They lived in primitive society. Druids priests, more powerful than chiefs. Acted like prophets. 2. Stonehenge From prehistoric period. Was built on Salisbury plain between 2500 and 1500 bc.

Kuid selle kasutegur oli madal ja selle tegevuspiirkond piiratud. Suur murrang sõnumite edastamise ajalukku tuli siis, kui selleks hakati kasutama elektrivoolu. Esimese elektrivoolul töötava telegraafiaparaadi leiutas 1809. aastal saksa arst Thomas Samuel von Sömmering. Telegraafi edasisist arengut pidurdas tugevasti 1914. aastal alanud I maailmasõda. Sõja lõppedes küll telegraafi areng jätkus, kuid sellele oli tekkinud vahepeal jõudsalt arenema hakanud telefoni näol uus ja tõsine konkurent. Kiiresti arenev ja tihe telefoniühenduste võrk põhjustas telegrammide arvu järsu vähenemise. Telegraafside. · 1837. aastal konstrueeris ameeriklane Samuel Morse elektromagnetilise telegraafiaparaadi,

However, a third type of request tried by Langer showed that this was not the case. It seems that it was not the whole series of words, but the first one, because, that made the difference. Instead of including a real reason for compliance, Langer's third type of request used the word because and then, adding nothing new, merely restated the obvious: "Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make some copies?" The re- sult was that once again nearly all (93 percent) agreed, even though no real reason, no new information was added to justify their compliance. Just as the cheep-cheep sound of turkey chicks triggered an automatic mothering response from mother turkeys, even when it emanated from a stuffed polecat, so the word because trig- gered an automatic compliance response from Langer's subjects, even when they were given no subsequent reason to comply.

His belief that the roots of the philistinism and hypocrisy characteristic of New Englanders are to be found in early Puritan settlements. Power of Guilt in The Scarlet Letter If a character does something wrong but no one knows, that character can both gain and lose from what they have done. This happens multiple times in The Scaret Letter. Characters commit evil deeds, some are caught, some are not. For those that aren't caught, they have a decision to make. To turn themselves in or to live their lives as if it never happened. For those that choose to live on as if it never happened they are faced with a tough road ahead. They have to deal with the guilt of what they've done. All the while, they must watch to see if anyone is on to them or suspects them of the crime they have commited. However they are rewarded. They get to live on as a regular member of society rather than be imprisoned or even worse, put to death

"senses" and argued that a singular term is meaningful in virtue of having one of those over and above its referent--or in the case of a nonreferring singular term, instead of a referent. That is, since the singular term expresses a sense, it is meaningful whether or not it actually refers. Frege's solutions to Negative Existentials and the other two problems will be briefly surveyed in the next chapter. Frege's Puzzle about Identity An identity statement such as (3) Mark Twain is Samuel Langhorne Clemens contains two singular terms, both of which (if the statement is true) pick out or denote the same person or thing. It seems, then, that what the state- ment says is simply that that person is identical with that person, that that person is identical with herself. If so, then the statement is trivial; (3) says no more than "Mark Twain is Mark Twain." Yet (3) seems nontrivial, in each 12 Reference and referring

eventually moved south and spread out as the ice sheets melted back. Then they evolved different cultures to suit different environments. Scientists now think that the ancestors of First Nations people may have come to North America from several different parts of Asia and Polynesia, following several different routes. Some may have come on woven reed rafts, or boats, across the Pacific from Asia and various islands. Still others may have crossed the ice fields that once connected Europe and North America. The Inuit, who live in the high Arctic, were probably the last to arrive. 4. How were the terms `Métis' and `half-breed' traditionally used? Métis French-speaking and Catholic.

justify’ lifestyles. My own six years of experience backpacking through Europe, Asia, Oceania and South America (1999 to 2003, 2005) helped in gaining access to the social world of these lifestyle travellers. My past travel periods typically ranged from six to nine months, as after this length of time I ordinarily exhausted my savings and turned to casual employment in the United States to save up funds for my next extended backpacking trip. Whilst I once adhered to a romanticised vision of a life of backpacking, the research process saw an eventual ‘secularisation’ of my disposition towards lifestyle travel, despite my continuing interest in de-marginalising this lifestyle choice. My travel experiences and research journey thus not only affect how I continue to interpret lifestyle travel, but also manifest in the present text as a more critical and less romanticised reading of this phenomenon than I have held in the past.

King Oswy, who was seriously concerned about the religious differences decided to call a meeting of church leaders in 664 to resolve things once and for all. This became known as The Synod of Whitby as it was held at Hilda's monastery. It was shown that the Roman ways stemmed directly from St Peter, who held the keys of Heaven. The king hardly wished to offend St Peter and decided in favour of the Roman ways. *Offa's Dyke Offa was a very powerful King of Mercia.

lying. That means that the south and east on the whole have better agricultural conditions, and it is possible to harvest crops much earlier than in the north. So it is not surprising that south-east Britain has always been the most populated part of the island. For this reason it has always had the most political power. Protected by the Sea Britain is an island, and the sea has helped shape the character and history of the British people. More than once it has helped protect the island from invasion, and it has given the people a feeling of security. Since 1066, no enemy has crossed the Channel and invaded the country. 8 The Age of the Island Britain has not always been an island.

Active Citizenship in Cadle Primary School: A Case Study 20 Conclusion 29 Bibliography 32 Appendices Appendix 1: The United Convention of the Rights of the Child Appendix 2: Interview with Jamie Richards, the Head Teacher of Cadle Primary School 2 Abstract: Children inherently have had a rather tenuous relationship with citizenship. Similarly to how women were once viewed, children have not been considered as subjects of rights due to their perceived incompetence and irrationality. Currently, children are not considered as being rational and capable of exercising responsibility until the age of majority, the age of 18. However, the adoption of the U.N Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989 granted for the first time the recognition for children as worthy individuals with rights of their own
virtuous, well behaved, thoughtful offspring, and they nonetheless become sociopaths, vulgar ingrates -- then it is sad, but not something we could foresee or help. Sometimes peer pressure, or odd brain chemistry, or some trauma, warps our kids beyond reach. It's just tragic. But likewise, sometimes out of the ashes of broken families, and from squalid conditions, angelic children grow up. Against all odds, some kids grow to be excellent adults, in ways that amaze us. I once asked a woman who's raised about a dozen kids if she had happy returns with all. "No," she replied, "some did well, others didn't." Same with the kids I grew up with. Isn't it fairly obvious? I say do the best you are able in raising your kids, as in anything else, but don't expect miracles, nor expect that it is a simple formula like in logic. Alas, with educational matters and child-rearing, it is possible to give love, nurturing, superb tutoring or library
