When they were abolished in the 1930s, the idea of removing the individual household was renounced, but the latter idea stayed. Also,…

a lot of people moved to cities because there were a lot of factories in the city. The most alarming about the housing situation during the industrial revolution is that people had to live in poor houses and they need to pay the rent.

School uniforms 19% of schools around the world are now required to wear school uniforms. School uniforms were introduced in England in 1222. Students in one school were required to wear a robe-like uniform called a ‘cappa clausa’. It wasn’t until the 16th century that we found the modern school uniforms that students wear today.

values and traditions of camp, but you are responsible for the happiness and success of everyone around you. Sitting in commons (the permanent name for the living room space) after dinner, watching “Glee” on DVD, eating lollipops, we seem as if we were the most carefree people you had ever met, oblivious to the awakening moments to come. When Susan would come up, if she ever came up, was obviously an omen for bad news…

His destiny is to carry on the Roman Empire elsewhere after their defeat. He believes in his own destiny so much that he forsakes love and loses his father.

If I would’ve been one of the students or even if I wasn’t I would go and do all the sit-ins and protest that they did because it’s not right for a person to just announce that they’re going…

Continuing, “If I Were The Devil” was one of the chapters that hit home in my heart. It really revealed to me how serious I take missions, and awaken a deeper understanding of God’s heart for His mission.
