Essay on Napoleon's Domestic Reforms in France

...In 9th December 1799 Napoleon managed to seize power of France. Between his seizure of power and the resumption of the war in Europe, Napoleon introduced several important domestic reforms. His policy focused on the law, education, the church and economics. Peace, prosperity and an administration characterised by vigour were the hallmarks of the consulate and for these Napoleon is often given a lot of praise. Although he did introduce many lasting reforms many of the consulate's 'achievements' were becoming apparent before Brumaire. Through his reforms Napoleon aimed to end the disorder and discontent produced by the revolution. He moved progressively towards a dictatorship of the political right wing. His new reforms occasionally went against the revolutionary principles and his rule was more one of enlightened despotism than the revolutionary democracy. As emperor Napoleon ensured he had a firm grasp on the law and used it to silence his opposition. He nominated magistrates for life and this gave him a firm control over the judiciary. In 1800 the Council of State began a scheme to codify and simplify the law. This codisation rejected the liberty of the revolution and this gave Napoleon greater power over all his subjects. In 1804 the Civil Code was introduced. This confirmed the rights of individual property. This reassured the bourgeois who had gained land during the revolution, which used to belong to the nobles. It gave Napoleon greater support and paved the way for him...

Vấn Đề Sống Thử Trong Giới Trẻ Việt Nam Hiên Nay

...VẤN ĐỀ SỐNG THỬ TRONG GIỚI TRẺ VIỆT NAM HIÊN NAY LỜI MỞ ĐẦU Nhân loại đang bước vào thế kỷ XXI, một kỷ nguyên của hội nhập và phát triển về mọi lĩnh vực, trong đó có văn hóa. Cùng với nhịp độ phát triển đó đã tạo ra nhiều sự biến đổi tích cực song nó cũng tiềm ẩn những hệ lụy mà đặc biệt trong lĩnh vực văn hóa với sự du nhập ồ ạt của văn hóa phương Tây, một trong những vấn đề đang trở thành trào lưu trong giới trẻ đó là “sống thử”. Vấn đề này không chỉ là sự lo lắng của các bậc làm cha mẹ mà còn là thách đố của các nhà giáo dục cũng như những người có trách nhiệm. I. KHÁI NIỆM SỐNG THỬ, PHÂN BIỆT GIỮA SỐNG THỬ VÀ SỐNG THẬT 1. Khái niệm sống thử trước hôn nhân Sống thử hay sống thử trước hôn nhân là một cụm từ thường được báo chí Việt Nam, đặc biệt là báo mạng, dùng để chỉ một hiện tượng xã hội, theo đó các cặp nam nữ về sống chung với nhau như vợ chồng, nhưng không tổ chức hôn lễ cũng như đăng ký kết hôn. Các nguồn hàn lâm hơn (như nghiên cứu khoa học, luật pháp...) thì sử dụng cụm từ có khái niệm tương tự là Chung sống như vợ chồng phi hôn nhân. Hình 1. Sống thử đang là trào lưu ở giới trẻ Sống thử là việc những đôi nam nữ sống chung như vợ chồng không có đăng ký kết hôn. Sau một thời gian, nếu thấy phù hợp thì họ tiến tới hôn nhân chính thức, sẽ đăng ký kết hôn theo pháp luật. Còn nếu thấy không phù hợp, họ sẽ chia tay nhau, không cần đến pháp luật. Người ta gọi đó là “sống thử”. Hiện tượng “sống thử” hay còn gọi là “góp gạo thổi cơm chung” đã và đang...

...Đề tài: Những yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến việc lựa chọn nhà trọ của sinh viên trường Đại học Tôn Đức Thắng 1. Lí do chọn đề tài” Sau khi kết thúc kì thi tốt nghiệp THPT, phần lớn các bạn học sinh đều tham gia kỳ thi tuyển sinh tại các trường đại học ở các thành phố lớn, trong đó Hồ Chí Minh là thành phố trọng điểm về việc thi cũng như là nơi toạ lạc nhiều nhất các ngôi trường Đại học Cao đẳng trong cả nước. Như được biết, mỗi năm có hàng ngàn thí sinh (đa số từ các tỉnh thành) đổ về thành phố Hồ Chí Minh để tham gia các kì thi. Chính vì vậy mà nhu cầu về nhà trọ luôn là vấn đề cấp thiết đối với hầu hết các bạn sinh viên khi mới bước chân tới thành phố rộng lớn này. Nhà ở luôn là vấn đề mà các sinh viên phải lo lắng, đặc biệt là đối với các tân sinh viên còn nhiều bỡ ngỡ mà phải đối mặt với cuộc chiến mang tên “tìm nhà trọ”. Việc này càng trở nên khó khăn hơn tại thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, là nơi tập trung nhiều trường đại học, cao đẳng nhất nhì cả nước nên nhu cầu ở nhà trọ tương đối cao. Đối với những sinh viên có nhà ở thành phố hoặc có người thân ở thành phố thì vấn đề này tương đối nhẹ nhàng. Một số trường đại học có xây dựng KTX nhưng chỉ hỗ trợ được chỗ ở cho một phần nhỏ số lượng sinh viên sinh tập trung về đây mỗi năm. Vì thế một số lượng rất lớn các sinh viên phải ở trọ bên ngoài. Giá nhà trọ cho sinh viên thông thường rất cao và ngày càng leo thang do sự mất cân đối về cung và cầu. Trong khi số lượng nhà trọ là có hạn thì số lượng sinh viên mỗi năm vào thành...

...Vấn đề đạo đức của giới trẻ ngày nay Tu sĩ Lôrensô Vũ Văn Trình MF Chúng ta đang sống trong thời đại mới - thời đại văn minh, khoa học, nhất là sự phát triển vượt bậc của ngành công nghệ thông tin; nó đã làm cho cuộc sống con người ngày được nâng cao. Đáng tiếc thay giá trị đạo đức đang bị xói mòn bởi chủ nghĩa thực dụng, duy vật chất, kéo theo đó là cả một hệ lụy. Hơn nữa, giới trẻ ngày nay chạy theo lối sống hưởng thụ, mà họ cho là hợp thời, sành điệu; họ bỏ qua những giá trị đạo đức là nền tảng cốt yếu của con người. Vấn đề này đang là thách đố cho các nhà giáo dục cũng như những người có trách nhiệm. 1. Tình trạng đạo đức của giới trẻ “Giới trẻ là tương lai của Giáo hội và nhân loại”. Đó là câu khẳng định nhiều người đã biết. Nhưng đối diện với thực tế thì ai cũng thấy lo lắng cho tương lai ấy. Liệu nó có tốt đẹp như người ta tưởng không? Cứ như thực tế hiện nay thì nhân loại sẽ đi tới đâu, khi giới trẻ sống thực dụng chỉ chạy theo những giá trị vật chất mà bỏ quên những giá trị tinh thần. Tình trạng giới trẻ sống buông thả, không coi trọng những giá trị đạo đức đã và đang diễn ra ở nhiều nơi. Bằng chứng là các phương tiện truyền thông đã liên tiếp đăng tải các bài viết phản ánh về thực trạng này. Chúng lôi kéo bè cánh để đánh nhau (cả trai lẫn gái), thậm trí hành hung cả thầy cô giáo, rồi con giết cha, anh giết em; trẻ vị thành niên cũng gây ra nhiều vụ án mạng. Những hành vi tàn bạo này được đăng trên mặt báo chỉ là tảng băng nổi, thực tế còn nhiều hơn nữa. Cách đây...

...TRONG TIẾNG ĐỨC VÀ TIẾNG VIỆT TS. NGUYỄN THỊ HỒNG VÂN ( MỞ ĐẦU 1. Tính cấp thiết của đề tài Văn hóa và ngôn ngữ là hai đối tượng gắn bó mật thiết, khăng khít với nhau, văn hóa là nội dung và ngôn ngữ là phương tiện chuyển tải nội dung đó, vì thế mối quan hệ ngôn ngữ và văn hóa ngày càng được nhiều người quan tâm, nghiên cứu. Mặt khác, nhu cầu giảng dạy và học tập tiếng Đức cho người Việt và tiếng Việt cho người nước ngoài gia tăng là động lực thúc đẩy nghiên cứu mối quan hệ ngôn ngữ và văn hóa bởi vì dạy một ngoại ngữ là truyền đạt tới người học các năng lực giao tiếp, ngôn ngữ và cung cấp cho người học toàn bộ những tri thức cần thiết về đất nước học, văn hóa văn minh của cộng đồng ngôn ngữ đó. Giao tiếp nói chung và giao tiếp ngôn ngữ nói riêng luôn là một lĩnh vực mang tính đặc thù ngôn ngữ văn hóa cao. Nói đến năng lực ngôn ngữ là nói đến năng lực sử dụng phương tiện ngôn ngữ trong giao tiếp, một năng lực linh hoạt, hiệu quả và trên hết, mang tính chuẩn mực xã hội - ngôn ngữ của một cộng đồng giao tiếp. Tiếng Đức là một ngoại ngữ mới, được đưa vào giảng dạy ở Trường ĐHNN - ĐHQG Hà Nội và ở các Trường Đại học khác từ những năm 90 (1900). Bên cạnh việc giảng dạy, các nhà giáo dục học cũng đã có một số công trình nghiên cứu đối tượng ngôn ngữ mới mẻ này, song những nghiên cứu này chưa nhiều và chỉ giới hạn trong việc miêu tả, đối chiếu ở cấp độ từ và câu. Bởi vậy, một nghiên cứu đặc trưng ngôn ngữ - văn hóa của các hoạt động chào hỏi trong tiếng Đức và tiếng Việt...

Về phía Olivieri, cô đã công bố những thông tin liên quan từ những thông tin này, thuốc của công ty Apotex có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến bệnh nhân sử dụng thuốc, cụ thể ở đây là việc tích tụ chất sắt trong gan. Xét trên quan điểm về lý thuyết đạo đức hành vi, Bác sĩ Olivieri đã hành động đúng. Về phía công ty Apotex, công ty bao gồm điều khoản này trong hợp đồng là do thuốc thử nghiệm là tài sản của công ty. Vì vậy, những kết quả, tích cực lẫn tiêu cực, vẫn phải giữ bí mật khỏi các đối tượng bên ngoài, cụ thể là đối thủ. Câu 2: Even though Dr. Olivieri later admitted that she should have never signed the agreement with Apotex that included a confidentiality clause, does the fact that she did sign it have any bearing on her actions here?

Sơ lược lịch sử hình thành Phật giáo Đạo Phật hình thành ở Ấn Độ vào khoảng thế kỷ thứ VI trCN, người sang lập là thái tử Sidharta, người đời sau gọi là đức Phật. Phật đà (Buddha) không phải là tên riêng. Đó là một quả vị, có nghĩa là người Giác ngộ (Giác giả), người Tỉnh thức, hoặc là người Biết như thật. Tên riêng của Đức Phật là Sĩ-đạt-đa Cồ-đàm (Siddhattha Gotama). Tuy nhiên, ngày nay có rất ít người dùng tên gọi nầy. Chúng ta thường gọi Ngài là Đức Phật, hoặc Đức Phật Cồ-đàm. Đức Phật sống vào khoảng 25 thế kỷ trước tại vùng Bắc Ấn độ. Ngài sinh ra là một vị hoàng tử của vương quốc Thích-ca (Sakya) tại vùng chân núi Hy mã lạp sơn, ngày nay thuộc nước Nepal. Ngài sống trong nhung lụa, có một thời niên thiếu cao sang, kết hôn với công chúa Da-du-đà-la (Yasodhara), và có một người con trai tên là La-hầu-la (Rahula). Nhưng, bản thân Thích Ca không muốn kế vị lãnh đạo quốc gia, ngược lại, ngài rời bỏ hoàng cung theo các nhà tư tưởng học tập, cuối cùng Thích Ca tự mình sáng lập học thuyết, truyền bá khắp nơi, phát triển thành một tôn giáo. Một lần nọ, khi Ngài đánh xe ngựa dạo chơi trên đường phố, Ngài thấy được bốn cảnh vật làm thay đổi các tư duy của Ngài. Ngài thấy một cụ già run rẩy, một người bệnh rên siết, và một tử thi sình thối. Ba cảnh nầy khiến Ngài suy nghĩ rất nhiều và quyết tâm tìm một phương cách để giúp nhân...
