4、n Catholicism and Protestantism Roman Catholic Church is Christian church headed may be simply defined as Christians in communion with the Pope. Roman Catholicism holds that the Pope and the Bishops have in varying degrees the spiritual authority Christ assigned to his apostles. The voice of the Pop
5、e is regarded as infallible when speaking on matters of faith and morals. 编辑课件Protestantism is a special development within Christianity. It is distinct from Roman Catholicism in that it breaks from papal obedience. Protestantism is widely practiced in most northwestern European countries except sou
6、thern Germany, Ireland, France, and Belgium.编辑课件III. Pagan A pagan is one of a people or community professing a polytheistic religion, I.e., a religion based on the belief in more than one god. Ancient Romans and Greeks were pagans. A pagan is different from a Roman Catholic and Protestant in that t
7、he latter believe in only one god.编辑课件IV. Appreciating of the text How does the notion of beauty held by the ancient Greeks basically differ from the modern one?(paras.1-2)1. For the ancient Greeks beauty embraces both inside and outside excellence, a combination of a persons virtue and good looks.
8、In present-day English beauty refers exclusively to the good looks of a female.编辑课件2. In what sense is the word “beauty” used in the sentence “we are more wary of the enchantments of beauty”(para.2) And how do you interpret the sentence?In the overall sense of the word, i.e., overall excellence. We
9、are more aware (than the ancient Greeks) of the aspects “beauty” has, which we think distinguishable and should be distinguished. 编辑课件3.Paraphrase: 1) One of Socrates main pedagogical acts was to be ugly and teach those innocent, no doubt splendid-looking disciples of his how full of paradoxes life
10、really was.(ll.7-9 ,para.1)-The contrast between Socrates outward ugliness and his inner strengths served to draw the attention of his naive and handsome followers to the fact that there were many such strange contrasts in the world. 编辑课件2)We not only split offwith the greatest facility the “inside”
11、(character,intellect) from the “outside”(looks); but we are actually surprised when someone who is beautiful is also intelligent, talented, good. (ll.11-14,para.2)-We tend to resist the idea that inside beauty (character, intellect) can coexist with outside beauty(looks)in one single person,and are
12、taken aback to meet one who is beautiful both inside and outside. 编辑课件4. What does Sontag mean by “And beauty has continued to lose prestige”?(para.3)-It by the Pope, the bishop of Rome. Roman Catholics down from overall excellence to superficial enchantment. And it further lost prestige when the su
13、perficial enchantment it referred to became associated with the fair sex only.5. Paraphrase: Associating beauty with women has put beauty even further on the defensive, morally.编辑课件-Beauty, when considered in relation to a female, involves a judgment of not only looks but also character and intellec
14、t, making itself a much more controversial issue.6.Why does Sontag think that regarding women as the beautiful sex is detriment to both the notion of beauty and that of women?(para.4) It depreciates the notion of beauty itself, and implies a sexually unfair judgment of women.编辑课件7. Paraphrase: It do
15、es not take someone in the throes of advanced feminist awareness to perceive that(para5)-One does not have to be a feminist who is painfully aware of the many social biases women have to put up with to perceive that.In other words, virtually anyone can perceive that(the author just tried to show the
16、 obviousness of the phenomenon)编辑课件8. What does Sontag refer to by “stereotypes” in the last sentence of para.5? And what have they to do with the “mixed reputation” beauty enjoys?-Fixed notions of the two sexes; what people generally think a man or a woman should be like.-The association of beauty
17、with nice looks but dependence and inability, and disassociation with intellect and success give it a mixed reputation.编辑课件9. Can you think of any concrete example of what Sontag calls “a flattering idealization of their sex”?(para.6) What effect does such idealization have on women?*Winners of a be
18、auty contest, Miss America, sex symbols, Marylyn Monroe, some fashion models. *Women are encouraged to look as attractive as possible, given the models of what they should and could possibly look like.编辑课件10. According to paras.6 and 7, do you think (Sontags) society is fair in its expectations of m
19、en and women with regard to their looks?-Definitely not. For women perfection is a goal; for a small imperfection is considered favorably11. What/Who has made it a womans duty to preen? If a woman succeeds in keeping herself look nice, how would she expect society in general to access her?(para.9)编辑
20、课件-Social convention. Her good looks conceal an empty mind; superficial allurement is the best asset she can claim.12.Paraphrase: If a woman does real work-and even if she has clambered up to a leading position in politics, law, medicine, business, or whatever-she is always under pressure to confess
21、 that she still works at being attractive.(ll.65-67)编辑课件However successful a woman may be in her career as a politician, lawyer, doctor, businesswomen, or whatever, she unavoidably feels compelled to making an effort to look attractive.13. Do you agree with Sontag that it is dangerous to consider pe
22、rsons as split between what is “inside” and what is “outside” ?编辑课件-It is not totally irrational to consider the “inside” and “outside”of a person separately for they do not always go together (as in the case of Socrates). However, danger arises when the two aspects are placed at opposite ends and r
23、egarded as incompatible. This will entail an erroneous notion of women.编辑课件14. To get women out of the trap they are caught in, Sontag suggests that they “get some critical distance from that excellence and privilege which is beauty”(para.10). What do you think this mean?-Disassociation themselves from the notion of beauty as far as possible; de-emphasize the notion of beauty in their life.编辑课件15. Paraphrase: One could hardly ask
