Le Monde des Jeunes - French Paper
Pour celebrer notre centieme anniversaire on fera un reportage
especial, dans lequel on va faire une comparaison entre Londre et
Paris.
!!!Londres contre Paris!!!
Mon experience personelle de Paris etait un peu limitee donc j'y ai
visite seulemont une fois. Mais je connais Londre comme mes poches. Le
deux sont des villes tres anciennes avec beaucoup de monuments
historiques. Paris a ete fonde au temps des Celtes, et Londres a ete
fonde au temps des Romains. Paris egalemont a des liens avec les
Romains car ils ont envais Paris, qui a ce temps s'appellait Parisii.
Les Monumants
Londres et Paris ont une histoire longue, et pour cette raison vouz
trouvez beaucoup de monumants historique a Paris et Londres. Un des
plus connus monumants a Paris est, Notre Dame (fonde 1163), qui est
tres belle. Aussi il y avait La Sainte Chapelle (fonde 1248) qui est
fascinante, aussi en peut visiter Le Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise (fonde
1805), La Place des Vosges (fone 1605) et Les Catacombs.
A Londres il y a beacoup des monumants de l'epoque des Tudors, comme
"Hampton Court" et La Tour de Londre, ou exeautait des criminels!
Aussi on peut trouve beacoup de musees par example "The Imperial War
Museum", qui est une musee qui a des expositions sur les deux guerres
mondiales. Aussi on a le "V&A", qui a un peu de tout.
Quand meme on trouve des monumants modern a Londres et a Paris, par
example La Tour Eiffel a Paris et "The London Eye" a Londres.
Le Transport en Commun
Je connais bien le transport en commun a Londres donc je le prends
tous les jours pour aller au college, et aussi pour aller n'importe ou
parce que je n'ai pas une voiture car je suis moins de 18 ans.En
Anglaterre, c'est illegal de conduire avant l'age de 18 ans.
Vous pouvez aller presque n'importe ou par le transport en commun.
Personellement je trouve que le metro est le meilleur moyan de
“Society was cut in two: those who had nothing united in common envy; those who had anything united in common terror.” The French Revolution was a painful era that molded the lives of every citizen living in France and changed their ways of life forever. Beginning in 1789 and lasting ten years until 1799, the people of France lived in a monarch society under King Louis XVI’s rule. He was a very harsh ruler and had many restrictions placed on his people. They eventually overthrow him and become a monarch society. Among his deceptive ways, the people also experienced “The Reign of Terror,” which was a period where many lives were taken by the guillotine. Other revolutionary events included rebellions, constitutions, and groups. One of the popular groups that contributed greatly to the French Revolution were the Jacobins who were led by Maximilien Robespierre.
Once Enlightenment philosophies created new views on individual’s natural rights and their place in society, resistance to oppressive government was inevitable. The core beliefs of freedom and equality above all served as a catalyst for the revolutions in America, France, and Haiti. Because of these shared ideals each revolution is interconnected with the revolution before it. However, the waves of this revolutionary movement that swept through the Atlantic World became increasingly radical with each new country it entered. By looking at the citizen involvement and causes of the American, French, and Haitian revolutions, the growing radicality of these insurrections can be better understood.
Cuba is the largest single island of the West Indies archipelago and one of the more influential states of the Caribbean region. After discovery by Christopher Columbus on October 27, 1492, the Spanish conquistador Diego Velazquez de Cuellar established a permanent settlement with 300 Spaniards in the town of Baracoa on the northeastern coast of Cuba in 1511. Spain relies heavily on Cuba as their main source of pure sugar. This earned Cuba the nickname Pearl of the Antilles for its vast beautiful region during the 18th century. The country has an unusual geographical and cultural unity that has given the Cuban people a strong sense of identity and a pride in their heritage.
The French Revolution was a period of political upheaval that occurred in France during the latter half of the 18th century. This revolution marked an end to the system of feudalism and the monarchy in France and a rise to democracy and new Enlightenment ideas. By 1789, when the revolution began, France was in a deep financial crisis due to the debt they had obtained over many years of reckless spending and France was nearly bankrupt. These financial issues fell almost completely on the bottom social class or the Third Estate which made up a majority of the country. Because of this financial trouble the common people were heavily taxed leaving many of them in poverty. In addition to the economic issues, France also held an Estate System that led to heavy
The two cultures that I identify myself with Haitian culture and American culture. The American culture is more dominant and I identify myself most with this culture. Although I was born in Haiti and Haitian culture was once my dominant culture, it is now my co-culture. Nonetheless, a combination of these two cultures would be Haitian-American culture.
Both St. John the Baptist Cathedral and Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Chartres are constructed in French Gothic style which means that architecturally they have many similarities. However, the 700 year gap between their construction
Many differences exist between the French and the American education systems: from academics, to the school schedule, to the structure of the system itself. Three levels of schooling that exhibit the most differences include daycare or preschool, primary education, and secondary education. Compared to the American education system, French education places more emphasis on attending daycare or preschool, the importance of studying foreign languages and the arts as part of the core curriculum in primary school, and the opportunity for specialized study and career development in secondary school.
The Dutch originally settled Suriname in 1667, after acquiring it from the British in exchange for what would later become New York City, then known as New Amsterdam. Coffee and sugar plantations were created and worked by slaves that were brought in from Africa, however slavery was abolished in 1863, leading to indentured servants being brought in from China and Java (BBC News 2012). Plantations became less important as labor costs were rising, so rice, bananas and citrus replaced coffee, sugar and cocoa as traditional crop exports.

In this online blog entry, Elizabeth Landau claims that bilingualism can be very beneficial to one’s cognitive abilities. Her first sub-claim is that bilinguals retain better cognitive function as the body grows older. The grounds for this sub-claim is a reference to Ellen Bialystok’s study on Alzheimer’s patients revealing that bilinguals were several years older than monolinguals at similar phases of neurological impairment. The findings from this study support Landau’s main claim because it shows that bilinguals’ cognitive abilities regressed at a much slower pace than those of monolinguals’. The work of Bialystok is credible since she is affiliated with York University in Toronto, Ontario, and the research that Landau refers to in this blog entry are all from presentations at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting. Landau’s second sub-claim is that bilinguals are better at multitasking. She supports this sub-claim with Judith Kroll’s research that has found bilinguals better suited to multitasking because of their heightened attention skills. This is most likely because bilinguals are perpetually inhibiting one language in favor of the other, which gives them an enhanced ability to tune out irrelevant information. Once again, these grounds are credible and scholarly because Judith Kroll is a researcher at Pennsylvania State University, and like Bialystok, Kroll presented these findings at the annual conference. More importantly, Landau uses Bialystok’s research for support because the multitasking skills found among bilinguals correlate with improved cognitive abilities. The warrant here is that mult...
Luxembourg is a country located in Western Europe, mainly composed of French and Germanic speaking and cultures. Luxembourg has an area of nearly 2,586 square kilometers making it one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe. In 2012 Luxembourg had a small population of 524,853 which is ranked 8th of least populous countries in Europe. Luxembourg ranked in size 179th out of 194 independent countries of the world.

French culture and society has evolved from many different aspects of French life. From the mastery of French cuisine to the meaning of French art, the French have changed and evolved in many ways to produce a specific modern culture, the dignified culture of the French. One thing that parallels the progress and continuation of French culture is the role of women throughout France. Compared to other nations, the role and rights of women in France were confronted earlier and Women’s suffrage was enacted earlier. The role of women in France, because of the early change in perception of women, enabled France to develop faster and with less conflict than other competing nations.
Bilingualism The English language has grown to be the world’s most significant language and its increase to the status of globally spoken language must rank as one of the most significant facts in the educational times gone by of the twentieth century world. It is conceivably suitable, as the new millennium comes closer, that we ought to pause to reproduce on how English reached this point, what might take place next, and what it all means, both for those who converse English and for the large proportion of the world's inhabitants who do not. Uniformly, we need to think the insinuations of these changes on our own position as language education professionals. David Crystal's book, English as a Global Language, (Crystal, 1997) aimed to point out that “English became the world language not because of any intrinsic linguistic qualities, but because at significant moments in history it happened to be 'in the right place at the right time'”. "The Future of English?" (Graddol, 1997) suggests that “English is at a turning point in its development as an international language: it has become a global language at a time when the world itself is undergoing rapid change. Indeed, English is very much a part of the process of transformation, which is creating a more closely interconnected world in which people and machines talk easily to each other across vast spaces.” Reviewing Barbara Mayor and David Graddol, evident is the fact that there are two key indicators of this changeover point in the progress of English. First, the number of people speakers using English as a second language will rapidly outnumber those who articulate it as a first language. Secondly, it is obvious that added people learning English as a foreign language do so in ...
In the 1930s and 40s Europeans experienced violence and disorder on an unprecedented scale. Although Europe had seen mass social, political, economic, and cultural changes in the past, as with the Enlightenment, the revolutions of the 1860s and 1870s, even going as far back as the Renaissance, never before had Europe experienced such a massive shift in social structure and power dynamics as what resulted from World War II. The destruction of towns and cultural centers, the relocation of groups rigidly defined by ethnicity or nationality, and the reversal of power dynamics and the effect on nationalism changed the way the European defined their identity as a European. The European identity split according to the two postwar experiences of civilians
Nationalism is an ideology based on the basis that an individual's devotion and loyalty to the nation-state surpass other individual or group interests:nation is the central entity which is a sense of identity and belongingness for the citizen.They always place their nation first before any other individual,group or country.When people attached to their nations deeply,they would sense emotions toward their nations-usually very intense or excessive.Nations are bodies that seek to be strong and pursue power by any means.Nationalism assumes that every nation has enemies that are intent on weaken such nation.It can be offensive to other nationalities when they want to explain how their nation is the best.
