Themes of the final essay 2017 - 2018
"Courage and cowardice." This direction is based on a comparison of the opposite manifestations of the human "I": readiness for decisive actions and the desire to hide from danger, to evade the resolution of difficult, sometimes extreme life situations.
On the pages of many literary works both heroes capable of bold actions and characters demonstrating weakness of spirit and lack of will are presented.
The problem of courage worries every person. For some, courage is a vital necessity; without this character trait, a person will not be able to work where he wants. For some, it is an opportunity to show oneself. But we all equally need to not get lost in the face of difficulties, which are so numerous in the modern world. A mother should have remarkable courage, letting her child go to school alone for the first time, thereby teaching him to be independent. There can be no talk of any cowardice when an alarm signal sounded in the fire department and the team needs to move forward to cope with the elements. Courage, self-discipline are also necessary for our reader, who prepares himself or prepares children for such close exams.
In literature, the topic of willpower, spirit, is covered especially widely. In some works, someone's life depends on courage. Basically, the authors endow goodies, and cowardice - negative, which hints to us what is considered bad and what is good. But cowardice is not an indicator of what a person is in himself. The authors, endowing negative characters with such a trait, only emphasize their meanness, baseness of soul, unwillingness to be better. We are all afraid, just not all of us can overcome this fear in ourselves.
Friends! This is a rough list of topics for the 2017 final essay. Read it carefully and try to find an argument and thesis for each topic. Here the direction "Courage and cowardice" is revealed from all possible sides. You will probably come across other quotes in the essay, but they will still carry the same meaning. And if you work with this list, you will not have any difficulties in writing the final essay.

Final essay on literature 2018. The topic of the final essay on literature. "Courage and cowardice".
FIPI comment: This direction is based on a comparison of the opposite manifestations of the human "I": readiness for decisive actions and the desire to hide from danger, to evade the resolution of difficult, sometimes extreme life situations. On the pages of many literary works, both heroes capable of bold actions and characters showing weakness of spirit and lack of will are presented.
1. Courage and cowardice as abstract concepts and properties of a person (in a broad sense).

Courage / cowardice as a personality trait conditioned by reflexes. True and False Courage / Cowardice. Courage as a manifestation of overconfidence. Courage and risk-taking. Courage / cowardice and self-confidence. The connection between cowardice and selfishness. Difference between rational fear and cowardice. The connection between courage and philanthropy, philanthropy, etc.
2. Courage / cowardice in minds, souls, characters. Within the framework of this section, you can reflect on the concepts: willpower, fortitude, the ability to say no, the courage in defending your ideals, the courage necessary to defend what you believe in. And you can also talk about cowardice, as the inability to defend your ideals and principles. Courage or cowardice in making decisions. Courage and cowardice when embracing something new. Courage and cowardice when trying to get out of your comfort zone. Courage to admit the truth or admit your mistakes. The influence of courage and cowardice on the formation of personality. Contrast of two types of people.
3. Courage / cowardice in life. Pettiness, inability to show courage in a specific life situation.

Courage / cowardice within the framework of this section is associated with the concept of heroism, heroism, as well as dithering, betrayal, etc.
5. Courage and cowardice in love.
COURAGE- a positive moral and strong-willed personality trait, manifested as decisiveness, fearlessness, courage when performing actions associated with risk and danger. Courage allows a person to overcome by volitional efforts the fear of something unknown, difficult, new and achieve success in achieving the goal. It is not for nothing that this quality is highly respected among the people: “God owns the brave”, “The boldness of the city takes”. It is also read as the ability to speak the truth ("Dare to have your own judgment"). Courage allows you to face "the truth in the eye" and objectively assess your capabilities, not to be afraid of darkness, loneliness, water, heights and other difficulties and obstacles. Courage provides a person with a sense dignity, a sense of responsibility, security, reliability of life.
Synonyms: courage, determination, courage, heroism, enterprise, arrogance, self-confidence, energy; presence, uplifting; spirit, courage, desire (to tell the truth), audacity, boldness; fearlessness, fearlessness, fearlessness, fearlessness; fearlessness, decisiveness, daring, heroism, courage, riskiness, despair, audacity, innovation, daring, audacity, audacity, prowess, misfortune, valor, novelty, courage, masculinity.
Cowardice - one of the expressions of cowardice; negative, moral quality characterizing the behavior of a person who is unable to commit acts that meet moral requirements (or, conversely, refrain from immoral actions), due to the inability to overcome fear of natural or social forces. T. can be a manifestation of calculating selfishness, when it is based on fears of incurring adverse consequences, someone's anger, fear of losing existing benefits or social position. It can also be subconscious, a manifestation of a spontaneous fear of unknown phenomena, unknown and uncontrollable social and natural laws. In both cases, T. is not just an individual property of the psyche of a particular person, but social phenomenon... It is associated either with egoism, rooted in the psychology of people throughout the centuries-old history of private property, or with the impotence and depressed position of a person generated by the state of alienation (even fear of natural phenomena grows into T. only under certain conditions of social life and the corresponding upbringing of a person). Communist morality condemns T., because it leads to immoral acts: dishonesty, opportunism, unprincipledness, deprives a person of the ability to be a fighter for a just cause, and entails conniving at evil and injustice. Communist education of the individual and the masses, attracting people to active participation in building a society of the future, a person's awareness of his place in the world, his purpose and capabilities, subordination to him of natural and social laws contribute to the gradual eradication of T. from the life of individuals and society as a whole.
Synonyms: fearfulness, timidity, cowardice, suspiciousness, indecision, hesitation, fear; apprehension, fear, shyness, cowardice, timidity, fearfulness, capitulation, cowardice, cowardice.
