Television now plays an
important role
in our life. Of course it influences the way people look at the world
and
share their views. There are advantages and disadvantages on
television.
Television in our country
offers us
about 18 channels so the programmes are various. We can say the same
about
British television, but in Britain there are more people who have
satellite
television. There are special channels on it: sport channel, music
channel,
news, cartoons, children's channel and even special channel for
animals.
Beauty
is a difficult question for discussion, because so many people - so many
opinions. Beauty can be in all things that surrounds us and all it depends
from us, but many people can't see it.
Beauty
is in art, music, architecture, painting, in people, in nature and in other
things.
Let's
take human's beauty. Women and man can be beauty. There are special
performances about them. We must distinguish beautiful and attractive people.
Not only appearance is important (cool and modern clothes), but also good
traits of character. I mean the beauty of the inner world.
Comparative analysis of anti-globalization in the USA, the UK, Russia
If
all remains so as it is anti-globalists' movement will become the same
threat
to freedom as communism and fascism.

Anti-globalization movement is a new thing (event) but nevertheless it
is
becoming a serious public force and it can be seen literally with the
naked
eye (see appendix 8) cruel collisions made by activists of movements
in
Seattle, Gotteborg, and Vienna are only the part of a big iceberg
under name,
"anti-globalization" moving along the New and Old Worlds. Under
movement's
banners in Europe one can see those who are against "the new world
order",
those who are against globalization of the world economics, those who
consider
it to be an instrument with the purpose to submit our Planet to
interests of
the USA, those who are against violence of transnational corporations
and for
doing a bigger service to the developing countries and for
nullification of
all their debts in the West states and banks.
From
time
to time governments make bad laws. One possible way to get a bad law
changed
is for lots of people to deliberately disobey the law in a public way.
This is
called civil disobedience.
History of Mass Nonviolent Action
The
use
of nonviolence runs throughout history. There have been numerous
instances of
people courageously and nonviolently refusing cooperation with
injustice.
However, the fusion of organized mass struggle and nonviolence is
relatively
new. It originated largely with Mohandas Gandhi in 1906 at the onset
of the
South African campaign for Indian rights. Later, the Indian struggle
for
complete independence from the British Empire included a number of
spectacular
nonviolent campaigns. Perhaps the most notable was the year-long Salt
campaign
in which 100,000 Indians were jailed for deliberately violating the
Salt Laws.
Dehumanization is the process
whereby
opponents view each other as less than human and thus not deserving of
humane
treatment or what are generally accepted as fundamental human rights.
It is
necessary, psychologically, to so categorize the enemy if it is to be
possible
to engage in warfare or otherwise violate the generally accepted norms
of
behavior regarding one's fellow man.
Dehumanization is actually an
extension of a less intense process of developing an "enemy image" of
the
opponent. An enemy image is a stereotype - a negative
oversimplification -
which usually views the opposing group as evil, in contrast to one's
own side,
which is seen as entirely well. Enemy images are usually black and
white.
Shades of gray (meaning one's own faults or one's enemies' values) are
usually
discounted, denied, or ignored.
UNESCO defines culture as
an
"aggregate of distinctive, spiritual, material, intellectual, and
emotional
traits, which characterizes a society or a social group. It includes,
alongside with arts and literature, ways of life, basic human rights,
systems
of values, customs and traditions, and faiths". This is the definition
that
helps to articulate the concept of cultural dimension of development.
Obviously, the concept of
cultural
dimension cannot be tackled as a usual one, as long as it represents
the
fundamental reference to measure and compare the importance of other
factors.
No development or modernization will be real and sustainable unless it
makes
allowance for and turns to good account the power of culture; unless
it does
not ignore the life style, values systems, traditions, faiths, talents
and
knowledge of the human community. The decision-making persons who
neglect the
cultural dimension will be punished by the generations to come. The
famous
Romanian writer Nocolae Iorga says that "without a culture banner a
people is
not an army but a band".
