Title: A Second Look at Ancient Greece
Body: From http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/nov/07/ancient-world-greece Greece: Birthplace of the modern world? It had paid-up intellectuals and progressive politics, yet ancient Greece was less civil than we are inclined to remember, says Paul Cartledge November 7, 2010 Democracy, so far from being the ancient Greek norm, was at first a rare and rather fragile plant: only later did it become about as widely distributed as various forms of oligarchy. And only in a few cases – in Athens, above all – was it both deeply rooted and conspicuously radical. At all times and in all places it remained more or less controversial. And there was a good linguistic reason for this. Demokratia was a compound of demos and kratos. But whereas kratos unambiguously meant "grip" or "power", demos could be interpreted to mean either "people" (in a vague sense, as in Abraham Lincoln's famous words at Gettysburg: "government of the people, by the people, for the people") or very specifically "the masses": the poor majority of the enfranchised citizen body (which might range in size from as few as 500, as on the island-state of Melos in the Cyclades, to as many as the 50,000 citizens of democratic Athens). So if you liked demokratia, it could mean People Power, but if you hated it – if, say, you were a member of the wealthy elite – then it could stand for the ancient Greek equivalent of Lenin's dictatorship of the proletariat.

Title: Changes Proposed in Spanish Spelling
Body: From http://spanish.about.com Changes Proposed in Spanish Spelling by Gerald Erichsen November 6, 2010 Some spelling changes may be coming to the Spanish language — and not everyone is happy about it. According to articles recently appearing in BBC Mundo, El Universal of Mexico City, Bio-Bio La Radio of Chile, among numerous other sources, the proposed changes are subject to ratification later this month in Guadalajara, Mexico. The changes have become a hot topic of debate across the Spanish-speaking world, with critics claiming decrying the loss of the traditional rules.

Title: YouTube Videos in the English Classroom
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think Video for the English classroom Submitted by Jamie Keddie on 3 November, 2010 Exactly five years ago this month, the video-sharing site YouTube was officially launched to the public. Since then, the site and others like it have been affecting the world in diverse and unpredictable ways. For the language teacher, YouTube may be nothing less than one of the best sources of material the classroom has ever seen. In this article, I would like to share 12 clips that I have used in my own classroom. I hope that each clip will be representative of a type of video that may be of particular interest to language teachers.
