An aqueduct was the Roman solution to providing water to their towns and cities. The Romans constructed aqueducts with stone blocks that came from the quarries nearby. Romans also used concrete‚ mortar‚ tiles‚ or bricks to build the aqueducts. The channels of the aqueduct were then lined with a mixture of crushed tile and amphorae‚ called opus signium. The opus signium helped to waterproof the aqueduct channels. Finally‚ the Romans would layer the surface with a mixture of limestone and crushed

research involving child play and its importance in understanding children’s emotions and behaviors. This topic interests me because I have noticed that most of the mothers I know don’t supervise their children at play. Usually that’s because they are busy with careers and house work. I believe observing children at play could offer caregivers insight into what that child is thinking or feeling. I was able to find four peer reviewed articles that focused on children’s play narratives to examine

Children’s play can be happy or sad‚ loud or quiet‚ calm or chaotic‚ creative or destructive‚ sociable or isolated and imaginative or real.

People should be able to divorce if they live in an unhappy marriage‚ marry with whoever they want to marry and move whenever they want to. A person can change from one day to another‚ we are constantly changing. Whenever we marry someone‚ they might turn into a completely

readings were interesting because‚ for many‚ children are not viewed as oppressed. The "oppression" that they endure is oftentimes understood as their necessary role as subordinates to adults. However‚ the readings made me see that there is a lot of hypocrisy in demanding liberation‚ in fighting so that no group has power over another‚ but also acting as a restrictive authoritarian over children on a daily basis.
