RESUME

Urban and rural squalor

This chapter tries about the consequence of the modern civilization in the urban and rural areas.

In the first one, the large cities had several social problems. But in the mid-Victorian period these problems were not confined all the urban areas.

While in the second one, the profit of the agricultural labor began to dominate the rural economy. In my personal opinion, I think it was so good, because the rural areas were in the hopelessness and poverty.

But the Victorian found in several evidences, those important aspects of the health and morality, only for rang the most urgent alarm, of their reality.

The growth of the state

First talks about the utilitarianism, it referred in a central belief of the philosopher Jeremy Bentham:

“The greatest happiness of the greatest number”

It belief was alongside of the laissez-faire and in theory, it could deliver that happiness for the greatest number, the virtuos circle was the idea:























The problem was the large population and it consequence in the economic progress.

The solution:

Adopted was central government intervention to mitigate the most damaging effects of unrestrained industrial capitalism.

Education and health policies

In 1833 parliament voted the first grant to support education for the poor people. It was a very small sum.

The church helped a lot, it provide schooling.

But in the pass of the years the support had increased.

Bureaucracy supervised the funds.

This acts made possible the elementary education how a one obligation.

Other important acts were the commissions of health (Health of towns, 1844 and Public Health Act, 1848) the principal cause was the fear of the cholera epidemics.

Centralization or not?

The answer of this question, in the last chapter is:

No, the idea of centralization is surely a mistaken view of some historians.

Because the state intervened ONLY to prevent greater evils that might threaten the efficiency of a free-trade economy –NOT to provide positive benefits for it citizens.

And we need remember that the central or local government must provide, however, remained extremely limited.

NOTE:

Teacher April please accept apologize my, because I use extra words in one of the chapters.

Intervention

This historical reading tries:

First talks about the problems of the income tax the hopes to eliminate it. The two options to eliminate were the Smith’s ideas and the triumph of Gladstone, one politician.

But anything passes, against, the income tax flourished in Britain.

The laissez-faire ideology don’t fulfill it purpose, though, the government policy was near, by the middle of the 19th centaury, to practice it.

Mid Victorian government was the interventionist in social and economic matters. And it grew how state in the intervention.

Locating the problems

We can see two important ideas in this reading: The Industrial Revolution and the huge population.

The first one was an extraordinary event, because it is the cause of the big step in the technology and economy.

The second one was the problem, but the main idea of the reading. It is another consequence of The Industrial Revolution. The huge population is the cause of other problems: crime, disease, unclean streets, hunger, supine sloth, unhappy existence, dissipation, reckless, paupers, etc.

I think it is an actual problem, because the pass in different ways, is so similar how the actual world.

Britain's world dominance

In the reign of the Queen Victoria the United Kingdom, can won all the power in the seas, because they had a spectacular naval power. They had control in the diplomacy. They were so popular in all sides, in all countries, in all nations, in whole world. This naval power was essential to maintain their influence in all places, their economy, and their protection, if someone wanted attacked them. In few words, they were the bosses of the world

They have an amazing progress, when they were considered still a 'nation of shopkeepers', but their work changed all, and they changed in the 'the workshop of the world' in the first industrial revolution. They was how the actual United States.

The control in the trade routes and its dominance of financial services were the causes of a challenge with other newly industrial nations, which enmity occurs in the second half of the queen's reign.

This nation had the control for long time, because they use the 'laissez-faire'. I think this doctrine, was the medium for the important influence that they had.

Understanding 'laissez-faire'

The second reading tries about of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

This woman advocated a return to 'Victorian values' Laissez-faire.
She sought to revive the country's flagging fortunes. She called for a return to 'Victorian values' - by which she meant rolling back the powers of the state, lowering levels of direct taxation and encouraging people to stand on their own feet.
Thatcher also aimed to make Britain a more competitive trading nation. She invoked the spirit of the Scottish political economist Adam Smith, whom she considered to be the high priest of free trade.

I think this woman had a wonderful vision of her country, how she wanted to recover the power of the old Britain nation, I don’t know exactly, but I think so.

CONVERSATION

TEACHER APRIL THIS IS THE HOMEWORK. MARIA OUR BOSS CLASS SAID:
"THE HOMEWORK IS A CONVERSATION OF PRESENTATION OF TWO PERSONS..."

In the soft wind of a summer night my best friend Andrea and I walk to the nicest nightclub in the city.

We dancing during two complete hours, I feel so thirsty and I want a cold drink.

–¡Andy! Do you want come to the bar?
–No Haz, I’m ok, I want dancing more, and this music is so great! And remember…–she put a sexy look–; I’m the soul of the night!

She is in front of me. She is medium height, young, have straight black and short hair. She is wearing a plaid skirt, striped tights, and a pink t-shirt.

With all the embarrassed of the world I say:

–Do you say hello me?
–Of course, Why?
–Oh…sorry…I thought…well… you said hello to this guys –I refer them with a discreet look.
–No I’m not crazy yet! –she laughs
–And…
–Oh yes… sorry, but I saw you in the dance floor and you do it so well…I mean perfect!
I feel more embarrassed.
–Well thank you.

–Really! And how long have you lived here?
–Do you want know my age? –she laughs

–Well I have 18 years old.
–Oh, I have 17 years old
–No! Do you look so…adult? I mean I thought you have 20 or 25, I don’t know, but you are saying that you are a child.
–Wait a moment I don’t be a little boy
–Ok, you win. And I have another question. How do you enter here? This night club is only for adults.
–With the influence of my best friend
–Oh, do you come with someone?
–Yes with my crazy and drunk friend. But I came to the bar because I felt so tired and thirsty.
–Oh… well talk me something, Where do you study?
–In a school of Literature

–And is it nice?
–Yes, I love all my classes, but my favorite one is English, my teacher April is a wise in her subject and I learn a lot ­–she near me, and say in a clear whisper–I am one of the best in my class.

–Ok

Song´s Lyrics

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me and i
Wonder if you know I’m there (am I there, am i? )
If you looked in my eyes would you see what’s inside
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close but so far
All I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day (wait for the day)
To take the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do

I’ll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can’t believe
That you came up to me and said I love youI love you too
Now I’m dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow (till tomorrow) and for all of my life
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room
Dreaming with you endlessly
