L'hippopotable : blog humoristique, publicités anciennes A Challenge: Write Worse Than This Guy Apostrophe Abuse Why Peta Is Sexist And Not A Real Vegan Organization (continued from home page) - VegPress PETA was founded in 1980 as an animal rights organization, gaining large amounts of public attention in 1981 for the Silver Springs Monkey case, in which the organization played a pivotal role in bringing attention to and shedding light on the horrifying cruelty behind the scenes of animal testing and laboratory "research". Since then, PETA has been involved in many animal-rights projects that have exposed the horrifying treatment of animals in laboratories, factory farms, and circuses... Hmmm..the circus. Animals are put on display for human amusement, without care or attachment to the well-being of the animal, or purpose this imagery serves to facilitate an "acceptable" meme of exploitation in our society... Kinda sounds the same as putting women on display, without care for the purpose that sexual objectification imagery serves to facilitate an "acceptable" meme of exploitation of women as sexual obejects in our society...
One Day One Job Simone de Bougeoir | Blog pas mal mais peut mieux faire. On Twitter, is it 'he or she' or 'they' or 'ip'? (CNN) -- Twitter users may value brevity in their messages, but that doesn't mean they don't think about the social implications of language. Is this sign sexist? Some say our language should be more inclusive of both genders. "Can't we English-speakers just agree upon a gender-neutral pronoun?" attorney Paul Easton recently Twittered. Easton isn't alone. Consider the sentence "Everyone loves his mother." "I find myself spending a lot of time reworking or obsessing over sentences to avoid sexist language, and wonder why we settled on these burdensome conventions rather than popularizing a gender-neutral pronoun," Easton said in an e-mail. It turns out that an English speaker's mind can't instantly adopt an imposed new gender-neutral system of pronouns, linguists say. That's because pronouns are "function words," which connect words and phrases but do not have "content" meanings. It wasn't until the 1970s that the issue became about equality for women, Baron said.

Medieval poetry Because most of what we have was written down by clerics, much of extant medieval poetry is religious. The chief exception is the work of the troubadours and the minnesänger, whose primary innovation was the ideal of courtly love. Among the most famous of secular poetry is Carmina Burana, a manuscript collection of 254 poems. Twenty-four poems of Carmina Burana were later set to music by German composer Carl Orff in 1936. Examples of medieval poetry[edit] Old English religious poetry includes the poem Christ by Cynewulf and the poem The Dream of the Rood, preserved in both manuscript form and on the Ruthwell Cross. Medieval Latin literature[edit] However, much secular poetry was also written in Latin. Topics[edit] Medieval Latin poets[edit] Medieval vernacular literature[edit] One of the features of the renaissance which marked the end of the medieval period is the rise in the use of the vernacular or the language of the common people for literature. Romance languages[edit] Old French[edit]
