Topic 6
I think I achieved some of the goals I set at the beginnig of the course.
I this term I achieved a clearer idea about structuring my study in general.
An important thing that my teacher taught me is how to formulate a presentation,I learned a new method that, in my opinion,that can be extended to other many things:study,conversation etc.
I guess this is the mos important improvement for my English,and also I understood better how to use conditionals.
The next thing i want to achieve is to eliminate completely my doubts on english grammar.

Well unfortunatey I don't use the phonetic symbols,because I don't know them,and I don't know how to pronounce them,in my school they usen't to theach that.
To learn the correct prounciation of the words,Iused to listen to teachers,lately I also learn it from a virtual dictionary that pronounce the words you wright on it.

I watch movies very often,about 4-5 movies at week.
Films about lawyers I saw are: "In the name of the father",in which we can see the problems of law system in GreatBritain; "Devil's advocate" suggestive movie between reality and religious aspects;and often the tv series: "Ally McBeal".
When I watch a film in english I never put subtitles,I don't like them because they divert my attention from the nuances of the image(like grimances,looks or else).
Although that, I think that they could be useful to understand the key words of dialogues,and also can make understand better the meaning of the sentences.
Maybe an accent that I find a bit harder to undestand is the "pure" english one,that it's a bit different from the american english pronounciation.
I certanly can use films to improve my english,maybe watching the same movie twice or more,learning eveytime some new words,expressions,pronuncation.Or maybe watching the same movie in italian first,and then in english,so I can understand better the general sense.

Lord Denning was judge,he has been very important for British law because of the many cangements he brought to judicial system,during his life.He instigated important concepts that would become pillars of the common law,and others that have been rejected in the house of lords,likethe doctrine of fundental breach.
He made famous decisions in his court during his 38 years of career.
In 1997 he received the Order of Merit.
In 1957 he became a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary with a life peerage as Baron Denning, of Whitchurch in the County of Southampton. He served until 1962. In the House of Lords, Denning found him often disagreeing with the other judges, and delivering dissenting opinions. In particular, there appeared to be some animosity with Viscount Simonds , known as a rather orthodox and conservative judge. In Rahimtola v.Nizam of Hyderabad in 1958 their disagreement became public. Simonds gave a magisterial rebuke against Denning for citing cases not mentioned by counsel or courts below. Later,Denning's decision was followed. The animosity between Denning and Simonds could also be seen in Denning's dissenting opinion in Scruttons v.Midland Silicones , full of cutting irony over the privity doctrine.In 1963, Denning was appointed by then Prime Minister Macmillan to look into the role of the police and security services in the Profumo affair. However, much of his report was devoted to an investigation of S.Ward, a man whom Denning alleged had catered for the "perverted tastes" of others.However, Ward was a relatively minor player in the affair. His only relation to it was in introducing the then Secretary of State for War Profumo to Keleere, with whom Profumo subsequently became intimately involved.Conspiracy theorists have insinuated that Denning was involved in a cover-up to protect members of the establishment — allegedly including members of the royal family — from being pinned as the culprits.Denning was known for challenging the principle of Stare decisis (binding judicial precedent) .
He diedat the age of 100.

Well,I think that the reason why many lawyers go into politics is that,after studying law you can have general knowledge of the principles of justice, equity, on which your way of thinking is developed,and this is an important pillar,if you decide to take decision for many other people.
The culture you get studying law is very solid,so knowledge I guess, could help to understand better people around us,and take decisions considering expecially situation,way of living,and thoughts of them.
But anyway I rather to say that law can help,but the difference between a good and a bad politician are the intuitions and ideas that an individual has.

I've been thinking about Euthanasia for long time.
It's very hard to decide the right thing to do,when somebody is in coma,or in a strong state of illness and people are struggled between hope and pain.
In Italy E. is illegal,but recently the Cassazione decided that relatives can decide for the life(if so called at that time)of a person,who doctors certified to be celebral dead.
I don't think that law should be changed,and anyway it's not so easy to establish,also because there are a lot of matters concerning this subject,religion,morality,personal feelings.
Perhaps,the fairest thing to do,in my opinion,would be to follow the wills of the person ill.
But also in that case who can say if it's right?
