(Ti naslovi za eseje so se pojavljali v prejnjih maturah iz angleine. Ne pravim,da so naslednji eseji dobro napisani, vendar kakna ideja za pisanje se mogoevendarle lahko izlui iz njih. Vso sreo!)

1. The aim of education should be to teach us how to think, rather

than what to think.

School plays an important part in our lives. Critical mind develops around the ageof 6. That is why they start attending Primary school around that age. Childrencan learn at earlier stage of their life, but they couldn't develop their personalview on the things they learn. Corriculum is constructed according todevelopment of children brain. That is why they learn physics and chemistryaround the age of their puberty, when their brain in mature enough tocomprehend this kind of knowledge.

There many are other psychology rules, that school obeys. However there is still

plenty of criticism about the content of the school subjects. Some say, that whenpeople finish school they still aren't capable to handle a job. They claim thatschool subjects aren't practical enough. But there is a reason for this. If schoolwas orientated on practice alone, than children knowledge could be absoletewhen they finish school. But if children know general principles, they can transferthem in practice using their mental effort. How much mental effort do they haveto use varies on how experienced they are on this field. School can prepare themfor that. If children have to solve a lot of different exercises with their logic thenthey learn how to solve problems with less mental effort.

I think, there should be a school subject just for teaching children how to learnand how to think in the most optimal way. They could use this knowledge in theirfield of work as well as their private lives.

Namen izobraevanja bi moral biti uenje naina razmiljanja in nevsebine razmiljanja.

ola igra veliko vlogo v naih ivljenjih. Otrokova kritina pamet se razvije okoliestega leta starosti. To je tudi razlog, zakaj se ola zane ravno okoli te starosti.

Otroci se lahko uijo tudi ko so mlaji, vendar ne bi mogli razviti svojih osebnihpogledov na snov, ki se jo uijo. Uni katalog je sestavljen glede na razvojotrokovih moganov. Zato se uijo fiziko in kemijo v asu pubertete, ko so njihovimogani e dovolj dozoreli, da lahko razumejo tovrstno znanje.

ola sledi veliko psiholokim pravilom. Vendar je kljub temu e vedno velikokritike o vsebini unih predmetov. Nekateri trdijo, da ljudje, ki konajo olanjeniso sposobni opravljati svojih nalog v slubi. Pravijo tudi, da olski predmeti nisodovolj praktini. Vendar je za trenutno stanje razlog. e bi bila ola orientiranasamo na prakso, bi bilo lahko otrokovo znanje zastarelo, ko bi s olanjem konal.Vendar e otroci poznajo splone principe, jih lahko preslikajo v prakso z

mentalnim naporom. Koliko mentalnega napora morajo uporabiti je odvisno odtega, kako izkueni so na tem podroju. ola jih lahko na to pripravi. e morajo

otroci reevati veliko razlinih nalog z svojo logiko, se nauijo, kakko reevatiprobleme z manj mentalnega napora.

Mislim da bi moral obstajati olski predmet samo za uenje otrok, kako se uitiinkako razmiljati na najbolj optimalen nain. To znanje bi lahko uporabili tako na

podroju svojega dela, kot tudi v privatnem ivljenju.

2. We do not judge the people we love.

I've had all sorts of friends. Skinny ones, fat ones, successful ones, not-so-successful ones, lazy ones, active ones, friends with half a dozen kids, friendswith no kids.. but what are their similarities and differences? It has absolutelynothing to do with what I listed above.

If you fell connected with someone, it doesn't matter what his physicalappearance is like. The connection is the most important similarity two peoplecan share. Especially, if this connection is love. When you love someone youaccept the person without judging. If you don't it means, that you don9t love thatperson, but a better made up version that will never exist. If you experience that,then your love is corrupted. You try to change that person in something else. Andusually someone gets hurt in the process. No love is better than a corrupted lovefull of judgements.

Of course people notice many different things about each other. But noticingsomething is different from judging it. By judging a feature you don't just state

your opinion of it. You proclaim it as wrong. Usually that comes from lack oftolerance.

I think, that love toward other people is to beautiful to be destroyed byjudgements. That is why, we should never judge the people we love.

Ne smemo soditi ljudi, ki jih ljubimo.

Imela sem e vse sorte prijateljev. Suhe, debele, uspene, ne tako uspene, lene,aktivne, prijatelje z pol ducati otroki, prijatelje brez otrok... ampak kaj so njihovepodobnosti in razlike? Te nimajo ni povezave z zgornjim seznamom.

e se uti povezanega z nekom, potem ni pomembno, kaken je njegov izgled.Povezava je najpomembneja podobnost, ki si jo dva loveka lahko delita. eposebno, e je ta povezava ljubezen. Ko nekoga ljubi ga sprejme brez sodbe.

e ga ne, to pomeni, da je tvoja ljubezen izrojena. Hoe osebo v nekaj drugega.

Obiajno v tem procesu nekdo nastrada. Ni ljubezni je bolje, kot pokvarjenaljubezen, polna sodb.

Seveda ljudje opazijo veliko razlinih stvari drug o drugem. Vendar je opaanjenekaj drugega kot sodba. Z sodbo lastnosti ne pove samo svojega mnenja o

stvari. Oznai jo za napano. Obiajno pride do tega zaradi pomanjkanjetolerance.

Mislim, da je ljubezen do drugih ljudi prelepa, da bi se jo unievalo z sodbami.Zaradi tega nikoli ne smemo soditi ljudi, ki jih ljubimo.

3. People of different cultures will never understand each other.

As long as there are different cultures in the world, there shall bemisunderstanding present.

Different cultures use different language. If two people from different culturalbackground come together they can't verbally communicate if they don't speakthe same language. They can help themselves with universal sign language, butthere is bound to be a misunderstanding in the process.

Also, people have a tendency to be afraid of the unknown. But because they

don't like that felling they start to hate it and they connect this hate to people ofother cultures.

People also tend to consider themselves and their team as the best in theworld. They have a hard time excepting, that they are inferior to some. If bychance they realise that, they usually want to correct this by improvingthemselves and even more often by destroying the people of different cultures.

Difference of cultures is the cause of all wars on the world. I hope that withadvance of globalisation there shall be no more reason for wars and all peopleshall finally be at peace.

Ljudje iz razlinih kultur se ne bodo nikoli razumeli

Dokler bodo na svetu ljudje iz razlinih kultur bodo prisotni nesporazumi.

Razline kulture uporabljajo razline jezike. e dva loveka iz razlinegakulturnega ozadja prideta skupaj, ne moreta verbalno komunicirati, e negovorita istega jezika. Lahko si pomagata z uporabo univerzalnega znakovnega

jezika vendar bo v tem procesu sigurno prilo do nesporazuma.

Poleg tega imajo ljudje tendenso, da se bojijo nepoznanega. Ker tega obutka nemarajo ga zanejo sovraiti in poveejo to sovranost z ljudmi iz drugih kultur.

Ljudje in njihov klub se imajo vekrat za najbolje na svetu. Le s teavosprejmejo, da so manjvredni od nekaterih. e sluajno to vendarle spoznajohoejo to popraviti s samoizboljevanjem, e pogosteje pa z unienjem ljudi izdrugih kultur.

Razlika v kulturah je vzrok za vse vojne na svetu. Upam , da z napredkomglobalizma ne bo ve razloga za vojne in bojo ljudje konno lahko iveli v miru.

4. Media create our way of thinkingMedia is a great way of controlling people. All the countries in the world try touse media to their advantage.We are told by people in the media industry that news bias is unavoidable.

They say that distortions and inaccuracies that are found in the news are

caused by deadline pressures, human misjudgment, limited print space,scarce air time, budgetary restraints, and the difficulty of reducing a complexstory into a short report. Furthermore, the argument goes, no communicationsystem can hope to report everything. Selectivity is needed, and somemembers of the public are bound to be dissatisfied.News that we watch on TV or listen on the radio reflect the dominant classideology. At the same time, these media leave the impression that they arefree and independent, capable of balanced coverage and objectivecommentary. Usually in totalitarian systems there is also censorship present.People have a false felling that they can learn the truth about the world from

TV. However, the truth is much more complex than they present on TV.With a false sense of truth, people are mislead to think in a given way. That iswhy I think, that it is important, to understand, that information that we gotfrom TV can be wrong. We should try to think with our own minds as much aspossible and only resort to information given by media if no alternative ispresent.

Mediji ustvarjajo na nain razmiljanja

5/8

Mediji so zelo dober nain za kontroliranje ljudi. Vse drave na svetuuporabljajo medije v svoj prid.

Ljudje, ki delajo v medijih stalno govorijo, da je pristranskost pri novicahneizogibna. Pravijo da so razlogi za izkrivljanje in nepravilnosti, ki jih lahko

najdemo v poroilih zakrivljene iz strani pritiskov asovnih rokov, lovekihfaktorjev, omejenem prostoru za objavo, kratek as za oddajo, premajhnasredstva in problemu skrajevanja kompleksne zgodbe v kratko novico. Polegtega uporabljajo argument, da noben komunikacijski sistem ne more poroativsega. Selekcija je potrebna in razoaranje nekaterih lanov publike jeneizogibna.

Novice, ki jih gledamo po TV ali jih posluamo po radiju odraajo ideologijodominantnega razreda. Hkrati dajejo mediji obutek, da so svobodni inneodvisni ter zmoni uravnoteenega poroanja.

Ljudje imajo zgreen obutek, da lahko iz TV izvedo resnico o svetu. Dejanskoje resnica veliko bolj kompleksna kot jo prikazujejo na TV.

Z lanim obutkom resnice so ljudje zavedeni, da mislijo na dan nain. Ravnozato jaz mislim, da je pomembno razumeti, da je lahko informacija, ki jodobimo od TV lahko napana. Vedno bi morali misliti s svojo pametjo kolikorse le da in se zatekati k informacijam, ki jih podajajo mediji samo e nimamodruge alternative.

5. Modern man lives increasingly in the future and neglects thepresent.

People usually have their interests in which they enjoy. This interests areusually unproductive for a broad society. But in order for society to exist,people have to be productive. They have to learn and work which sometimesisn't very pleasant experience. Society gives people a promise of a betterfuture if they sacrifice their present.

As society grows in complexity so does the need for better education andability to work. The need for sacrificing the present and a promise of a betterfuture is therefore bigger than ever before. This is all achieved through

money. People tend to believe, that money can buy them happiness. Moneycan indeed help you achieve happiness and enjoyment at the present time.However it is wrong to believe, that happiness can only be achieved throughmoney.

People should learn, that they can enjoy even the things that they don't ownand that can't be bought. Even if they fight for a better future, they shouldtake some time every now and then to enjoy the present.

If you work for better future all your life, then you will miss the present. It ishealthy to balance the time we spend for future, with time we enjoy the

present.

Moderni lovek ivi vedno bolj v prihodnosti in zanemarja sedanjost.

Ljudje imajo obiajno svoje interese v katerih uivajo. Ti interesi so obiajnoneproduktivni za iro drubo. Vendar ljudje morajo kljub temu bitiproduktivni, da druba lahko obstaja. Morajo se uiti in delati, kar vasih niprijetna izkunja. Druba daje ljudem obljubo za boljo prihodnost, e tirtvujejo svojo sedanjost.

Ob veanju kompleksnosti drube se poveuje tudi potreba po bolji izobrazbi

in zmonosti za delo. Potreba po rtvovanju sedanjosti za obljubo boljeprihodnosti je zato veja kot kadarkoli popreje. Vse to je doseeno z denarjem.Ljudje obiajno mislijo, da jim lahko denar kupi sreo. Denar ti lahko dejanskopomaga pri doseganju sree in uivanju v sedanjosti. Vendar pa je napanorazmilanje, da je srea dosegljiva samo z denarjem.

Ljudje bi morali spoznati, da lahko uivajo tudi v stvareh, ki si jih ne lastijo injih ne morejo kupiti. Tudi e se borijo za boljo prihodnost bi si morali vsaketoliko vzeti as za uivanje sedanjosti.

e celo ivljenje dela za prihodnost, ti bo sedanjost ula. Zdravo jeuravnoteiti as, ki ga porabimo za prihodnost s asom ko uivamo sedanjost.

6. Even in the presence of others we are completely alone.

Everybody is responsible for his own life. Nobody can get rid of thatresponsibility, that is why you can never completely put your life in the handsof others.

People usually try to help each other if they can. But they usually don'tsacrifice themselves for others. They always take care of themselves beforethey attempt to help others. That is because people are egoists. There isegoism in everything they do. Even if people give money to a homeless itsbecause they fell better about themselves for it. When they help others theydo it for the selfish reasons.

You can never be sure, that people will aid you when you need help. That iswhy you can only truly trust yourself. It is better to avoid situations, that youcould not resolve yourself and would need help from other people. You always

have to understand, that the only one that lives your life is you.

8/8/2019 ang_mat_eseji_na_maturi_01

7/8

Although I live only my own life I still like the company of others. I sometimesfell alone even in the presence of my friends. But I do learn from their goodand bad experiences, how to live my life even better.

Tudi v prisotnosti drugih smo popolnoma sami.

Vsi smo odgovorni za lastna ivljenja. Nihe se ne more otresiti te

odgovornosti, zato nikoli ne moramo svojega ivljenja povsem prepustitidrugim.

Ljudje obiajno pomagajo drug drugemu, e le lahko. Vendar se obiajno zadruge ne rtvujejo. Vedno najprej poskrbijo zase, predno poiskuajo pomagatidrugim. To je zato, ker so ljudje egoisti. Prav v vsem kar delajo je prisotenegoizem. Tudi e ljudje e brezdomcu darujejo denar se zato sami boljepoutijo. Ko pomagajo drugim, delajo to iz sebinih razlogov.

Nikoli ne mora biti preprian, da bodo ljudje prili, ko bo potreboval njihovopomo. Zato lahko zaupa samo sebi. Bolje se je izogibati situacijam, ki jih ne

bi mogel sam razreiti in bi potreboval pomo od drugih. Vedno morarazumeti, da si ti edini, ki ivi svoje ivljenje.

Kljub temu, da ivim samo svoje ivljenje sem vseeno rada v drubi drugih.Vasih poutim samo tudi med svojimi prijatelji. Vendar se vsaj nauim iznjihovih dobrih in slabih izkuenj kako lahko ivim svoje ivljenje e bolje.

7. BEING DIFFERENT IS BEING UNPOPULAR

There is no compromise in today's world; people either follow society's norms orthey are labled as different. The question is, whether this means they areunpopular.

In small social groups, such as a class or family, being different could bedangerous. You stand out rather quick and can easily be banished.

There is a bunch of subcultures today, where different can find friends.

Furthermore you can be rejected and treated as unpopular by the majority ofpopulation this is probably inevitable, but there is surely a group of people that

8/8/2019 ang_mat_eseji_na_maturi_01

8/8

shares same interests as you do. And in that, sometimes very narrow circle ofpeople you are not treated as unpopular, but rather popular.

On the other hand, being different is just the thing that can assure youpopularity. We have a lot of examples in popular culture: many stars are popular

because they are different, because they are doing unusual things they appearin newspapers for it and gain even more popularity. And it is the same thing inprivate life. We can get interested in someone just beacause he is different andhe caught our attention. Different people are more talked about, but it could bepositive or negative.

My personal opinion is that being different surely comes with some popularitythat can either be a blessing or a curse.

e si drugaen si nepopularen

V dananjem svetu ljudje sledijo normam drube ali pa so oznaeni kot drugani.Vpraanje pa je ali to tudi pomeni, da so nepopularni.

V majhnih socialnih skupinah kot so razred ali druina je lahko druganostnevarna. Kaj hitro lahko izstopa in si zaradi tega izgnan.

V svetu je veliko subkultur, kjer drugani lahko najdejo prijatelje. Lahko sizavrnjen in obravnavan kot nepopularen iz strani veinske populacije to jeverjetno neizogibno, vendar je gotovo kje skupina ljudi, ki goji enake interese kotti. In v tem oskem krogu ljudi nisi obravnavan kot nepopularen ampak kotpopularen.

Po drugi strani je druganost lahko ravno tista stvar, ki ti zagotovi popularnost.Imamo veliko primerov iz pop kulture: veliko zvezd je popularnih zato, ker sodrugane, ker delajo neobiajne stvari pojavljajo se v asopisih zaradi tega in stem pridobijo e dodatno popularnost. Enako je v zasebnem ivljenju. Lahko nasinteresira nekdo samo zaradi tega, ke je drugaen in smo nanj postali pozorni. Odruganih ljudeh se vsekakor ve govori. To je lahko pozitivno ali negativno.

Moje osebno mnenje je, da z druganostjo vedno pridobimo tudi popularnost, kipa je lahko blagoslov ali prekledstvo.
