INTRODUCTION EDUCATION SYSTEMS IN UK I thought about this issue a license because many of my colleagues chose to study in the United Kingdom. So far he has aroused some curiosity. English educational system is even better? So I did a little research / comparison of UK educational system and Romania education system. Educations have always been a controversial issue. There has been a major upheaval in recent years with the introductions of a new exam system and national curriculum in the late eighties, followed by the publications of school league tables in the early nineties. There is a ... vezi detalii
INTRODUCTION This paper analyses the role of metaphors in business culture. As an abstract field of discourse, the world of business makes use of a remarkable variety of more concrete, every day lexis to explain complex interrelations. Words and phrases from one semantic field are used to function in another area: business discourse. In short, business communication seems to live by metaphors. In order to make themselves understood and successfully communicate in international business, interlocutors need to make use of, namely decode and encode adequate figurative language. Acquiring the ... vezi detalii
I.1 General Context Libya, like so many Third World countries, is still struggling with its past. Its new leaders are constantly emulating its old leaders, its new battles are a continuation of old wars, and its new achievements are the glorification of past achievements . I decided to begin this chapter with the quote of Mansour O. El-Kikhia because it best highlights the close connection between the past and the present of Libya, which in my opinion is an interlinked process. From my point of view, the present-Libya is mirroring the past Libya. ‘Libya (the Great Socialist People’s Libya... vezi detalii

ІNTRODUCTІON The international business environment, through its cultural and economic diversity, often puts international managers in great difficulty as it generates a large variety of ethical issues. On a short term, finding a solution and respecting the organizational principles of business ethics could generate an increase of the organizational costs and, thus, a decrease of efficiency. But, on a long term, even though there is the possibility that the ethical management practices are not related to the specific indicators of financial profitability, there is no inevitable risk betwe... vezi detalii
Introduction This is an actual topic; investigating it, you achieve great knowledges. It is quite difficult to understand somebody without knowing all the colors, peculiarities and particularities of his language . Translating is a process one has to be devoted to in order to decode the right message. One who works in this area must work carefully with words that hide a meaning, because it is very easy “damaging the phone”, but this is a mistake. Such mistakes could begin a war or isolate a country. The vocabulary of a language is enriched not only by words but also by phraseological unit... vezi detalii
Introduction I have always considered American literature captivating, although it is one of the world’s youngest literatures. This literature has achieved its own independence and vigor, even though many saw it over part of its evolution, as an extension of English literature. Especially in the years since World War II, both in the United States and in other countries, the interest in American writers seems to have increased greatly. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the United States produced only a small number of writers the world has heard of. In the nineteenth century the n... vezi detalii
INTRODUCTION The problem of seeing in an indeterminate world has long preoccupied Samuel Beckett. In his works, human beings no longer occupy a stable and privileged point in space and time from which they may visually organize, give meaning to, and institute relationships with other beings and objects. Instead, they find themselves drifting in and out of vague, undefined fields of vision in which the objects of their gaze appear, disintegrate, combine, separate, approach, and fade away in unpredictable fashion. The subjects themselves are victims of the same instability, and they call the... vezi detalii
INTRODUCTION Women in the 18th century – the title sounds very alluring, but is it relevant nowadays? Why would be people interested in such a theme? Before arguing the importance of it, I would like to specify that my diploma paper is going to be one of compilation, i.e. the description of the critical vision which I found connected to my subject. What was women’s experience of life and the world in the 18-th century in England? Historians believed they knew a great deal about men’s lives. But their knowledge of ordinary women, of the majority of the female population, was relatively l... vezi detalii
Prologue The subject of this work is mainly the sexual anxieties presented by English writers of Gothic literature, more specifically, in the English Gothic novel, written in England between 1760-1820. I have said mainly because I have also approached a number of other topics related to the main one, in a more restrained manner. One of these so-called minor topics that has interested me in a special way is the relation that women writers had with the Gothic novel and the way they expressed their dissatisfaction with the times of patriarchy in which they lived, their fears when facing this ... vezi detalii
INTRODUCTION The present research project is devoted to the problem of synonyms in Modern English. I find it very interesting to investigate this problem because synonymy seems to be one of the most controversial problems in modern linguistics. The very existence of words traditionally called synonyms is disputed by some linguists; the nature and essence of the relationships of these words is hotly debated and treated by the representatives of different linguistic schools. One of the objectives of this investigation is to give a thourough characterization of synonyms. Chapter I deals wit... vezi detalii
An Introduction ‘If you don’t recruit and select great people, you won’t have great employees. And without great employees you won’t have a great company’ (Sullivan in Alan Price, 1997: 128). Finding the right person for the job has always been important and the decision to appoint an individual is one of the most crucial an employer will ever take. The recruitment and selection process is concerned with identifying, attracting and choosing suitable people to meet an organisation’s human resource requirements. They are integrated activities and ‘where recruitment stops and selection begin... vezi detalii
Introduction What makes a Business “Franchisable?” Most businesses are capable of being franchised. If it makes business sense for a business owner to consider opening additional outlets as company-owned units, it usually makes business sense to open outlets as franchises. Ideally, before a business is franchised it should have been operating long enough to have proven its commercial attractiveness, worked out most of its kinks, be somewhat unique in the view of the consuming public, be capable of being duplicated, not be dependent on the personality or unique skills of its founders, b... vezi detalii
INTRODUCTION When exploring the Gothic, it is difficult to isolate psychologicalfactors from social issues.In a form which focuses soclosely on complex models of identity it is not surprising that arange of different issues are addressed. However, arguably one of the most telling characteristics of the Gothic from the 1790s to the 1890s concerns the progressive internalization of ‘evil’. It would bedangerous to generalize about this trend, but it would neverthelessbe true to say that a new focus on psychology indicates that a predominantlysecularized version of ‘monstrosity’ began to appe... vezi detalii
