R. Abstract Ideology, &

Discussion

61. A recent trend in the

entertainment world is to adapt

classic works of literature for

either TV or the movies. One

argument is that this is to

everyone's benefit, as it introduces

people to works theymight otherwise never have

experienced, while others say that

turning books into movies not only

cheapens the original, but is rarely

done successfully.In your opinion,

do works of literature translate

effectively to the screen?

62. It has recently been suggested that

the classical, or "dead", languages

Latin and Greek should be re-

introduced into the schoolcurriculum. Those that oppose the

idea claim that the ancient

languages are of no practical use

and no help in getting a job. Those

in favor of the idea say that

education is more about training

the mind than preparing for a

career.Which of these points of

view do you most agree with?

63. “In a war of ideas, it is people who

get killed”. Does a common man

suffer from a group’s ideology?Express your opinion, and support

the same with reasons and

examples.
