Imaxina - John Lennon

Imaxina que non existise o ceo,
é fácil se o intentas.
Ningún inferno debaixo de nós,
só o ceo enriba nosa.
Imaxina a toda a xente
vivindo o de hoxe.
Imaxina que non houbese países,
isto non é difícil de facer.
Ninguén por quen matar ou morrer,
nin tampouco a relixión.
Imaxina a toda a xente
vivindo a vida en paz.

Podes dicir que son un soñador,
pero non son o único.
Eu desexo que algún día te unas a nós
e o mundo será como un só.

Imaxina que non hai posesións.
Eu quixera saber si puideses,
sen ningunha necesidade de codicia e fame,
unha irmandade de homes.
Imaxina a toda a xente
compartíndoo con todo o mundo.

Podes dicir que son un soñador,
pero non son o único.
Eu desexo que algún día te unas a nós
e o mundo será como un só.

Both sides violated the Human Rights, especially on the side of U. S. and so grew the occidental public opposition against USA action.

Children life in Victorian times

The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria's reign (June 1837 - January 1901). The reign was a long period of prosperity for the British people, as profits gained from the overseas British Empire, the industrial improvements at home,that led to an educated middle class to develop.  The Victorian era became very important for the employment of children, they started to work very early in factories and mines. The poor children were expected to help towards the family budget, often working long hours in dangerous jobs for low wages. The skillful boys were employed by the chimney sweeps; small children were employed to scramble under machinery to retrieve cotton bobbins; and children were also employed to work in coal mines, crawling through tunnels too narrow and low for adults. Children also worked in other works such as services and some children worked as apprentices to respectable trades, such as building, or as domestic servants .So working hours were very long and so hard for the children.
