Abortion


Woman plays and played very important play in human life, however I must confess, that man also. With woman can we use so many attributions that no excellent writer, poet or singer could ever tire out these attributions. For example woman – wife, woman – mother, woman – love, woman – beauty, and woman – care…The most important place takes in our life woman – mother. Mother is someone who should always stay beside you, even if it ś good or bad. But not every woman wants to be a mother and this has bee

A good life

Everybody wants to have a good life. But how? We need many things:
PEACE. Peace is very good beacause many people die in wars. People are angry and they kill their enemies- it isn't good.
FUN. Everybody likes it. Children hate boring films. They wanted laughter- they need fun. People are happy when they play computer games or play musical instruments. Young people like music- it's very interesting and loud.

FOOD. Many people die in the poor countries like India. They die because they are hungry but people i

London

London is the capital city of the United kingdom. It's one of largest cities of the world. It has about 10 million inhabitants and it's situated on the river Thames in south-east England. Town was founded as a Roman settlement. The great fire in 1666 destroyed almost all the city. At present it is modern city with all-in, what civilization's rise brings.

In London we find many historical buildings. I will speak only about most famous. The Houses of Parliament are in gothic style, but were built only between 1840-185

Edgar Allan Poe: Biography

E. A. Poe (1808-1849) is an interesting and curious figure in American literature. His unique position among his contemporaries in the field of art, his lonely, haunting and homeless personality, his strange influence of French symbolists are the factors that have always aroused a wide interest.
-Born in Boston to traveling, itinerant actors, both his parents died rather early when Edgar was 3 year old and all his siblings were placed into different families
-He was placed in a family of rich merchant John Allan in Richmond. Altho

Clothes and fashion

Why do we wear clothes? Is it because we are too shy to be naked? Or is it because our skin does not protect us from the wheater influence? Out of all the spieces only human wears clothes. Can you imagine your life without clothes? I can not. Wearing clothes is something that makes us different from the animals. And it is also a tradition as old as the human itself. Sometimes it amazes me just how many different colours and materials can you have. With choice that big it is not that difficult to be well-dressed. Or is it?

Day in Victorian times

WEDNESDAY 13 January I wokeup at half past five. It was very cold so I didn´t want to get up.I couldn´t have warm shower and I didn´t have any shampoo. Mum calledme. I ran downstairs. It was warm in the kitchen. Mum was cutting potatoesand carrot. She gave me a smile and put my breakfast on the table. It was breadwith butter and tomato. My father came to the kitchen and added wood tofurnace. My brother came to kitchen at six o´clock. He looked tired. Afterbreakfast I was outside in theback garden, because I wanted to go to the toilet.

California

When people think about California, they imagine a sand, surf and sun- tanned bodies. However, the 31st state of the USA offers much more than this.
It is said thatit´s easy to become a millionaire there. Some people belive that the American dream comes true in California.
Like the rest of America, California´s written history is quite short. Before the arrival of Europeans, different Indian tribes lived on this land. They spoke their own languages. California was discovered by the Spanish explorer in 1524. Spanish colonisation

Civil War: Establishing the Confederacy

In early February 1861, the states of the lower South established a new government, the Confederate States of America, in Montgomery, Alabama, and drafted a constitution. Although modeled on the U.S. Constitution, this document specifically referred to slavery, state sovereignty, and God. It explicitly guaranteed slavery in the states and territories, but prohibited the international slave trade. It also limited the President to a single six-year term, gave the President a line-item veto, required a two-thirds vote of Congress to admit new stat

Civil War: Lincoln responds to secession

In his inaugural address, Lincoln attempted to be both firm and conciliatory. He declared secession to be wrong; but he also promised that he would "not interfere with the institution of slavery where it exists." He announced that he would use "the power confided to me...to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government." But he assured Southerners that "there would be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere."

When he delivered his inaugural a

Civil War: Last Ditch efforts at compromise

Threats of secession were nothing new. Some Southerners had threatened to leave the Union during a Congressional debate over slavery in 1790, the Missouri Crisis of 1819 and 1820, the Nullification Crisis of 1831 and 1832, and the crisis over California statehood in 1850. In each case, the crisis was resolved by compromise. Many expected the same pattern to prevail in 1861.

Four months separated Lincoln's election to the presidency and his inauguration. During this period, there were two major compromise efforts. John J. Crit

Civil War: Prospects for Victory

Many Northerners felt confident of a quick victory. In 1861, the Union states had 22.5 million people, compared to just 9 million in the Confederate states (including 3.7 million slaves). Not only did the Union have more manpower, it also had a larger navy, a more developed railroad system, and a stronger manufacturing base. The North had 1.3 million industrial workers, compared to the South's 110,000. Northern factories manufactured nine times as many industrial goods as the South; seventeen times as many cotton and woolen goods; thirty t

Civil War: Why the Civil war was so lethal

The Civil War was the deadliest war in American history. Altogether, over 600,000 died in the conflict, more than World War I and World War II combined. A soldier was 13 times more likely to die in the Civil War than in the Vietnam war.

One reason why the Civil War was so lethal was the introduction of improved weaponry. Cone-shaped bullets replaced musket balls, and beginning in 1862, smooth-bore muskets were replaced with rifles with grooved barrels, which imparted spin on a bullet and allowed a soldier to hit a target a quarter

Stonehenge

Stonehenge – Forever a mystery
There is nothing quite like Stonehenge anywhere in the world and for 5000 years it has drawn visitors to it. We shall never know what drew people here over the centuries or why hundreds of people struggled over thousands of years to build this monument, but visitors from all over the world come to marvel at this amazing feat of engineering.

Before Stonehenge was built thousands of years ago, the whole of Salisbury Plain was a forest of towering pines and hazel woodland. Over centuries the la

Review: Chocolate

The Film I Have Seen Recently

Chocolate is a film, which I have seen many times. Director Lasse Hallstrom has a gift for telling poetic stories. This film is uncovered evidence of it. The main characters are Juliette Binoche as Vianne Rocher and Johnny Depp as Roux.

The film focuses on the traditions in the small rural French town of Lansquenet. Vianne with her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) arrived here. Vianne´s decision to open a chocolate shop during Lent immediately incurs the displeasure of Comte de Reynau

Popular sports in UK

As in every other European country, in England exist so many sports and plays. I am going to talk about the most polular of them, about football, tenis, cricket, golf and rugby, horse racing.

Rugby
History - Mob football, a descendant of the modern game, stormed into England around the 12th Century and caught on to such an extent it was banned by Royal decree by many kings and queens. It was a violent game in which “murder and manslaughter” were allegedly the only barriers to transporting the ball to village ends. King
