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.

Vietnam War

The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was a battle between the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam, supported by the USA) and Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam, supported by Communist bloc). On the side of North Vietnam died ten times more than the side of the South. Finished the war and the North as winner, the War of Vietnam was marked in the society like the second defeat of U.S., before the Korean War. 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.

Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison , 1847 (Ohio)-1931 (New Jersey), was an American inventor and scientist who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, the main inventions are: the phonograph, the motion picture camera, practical electric light bulb, etc. He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and
telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York.
