Chapter 2473 Impermanence in Hibiscus
Chapter 2475 Transition
In Muggle fairy tales, Santa Claus rides a reindeer sleigh through the chimney to the homes of good children on Christmas Eve, and stuffs their Christmas gifts into the woolen socks hung on the fireplace.
It’s hard to imagine that a person with the size of Santa Claus can get into a chimney. In fact, those who can get into a chimney are often children under the age of 14. They are sent by their parents to be apprentices to chimney workers. This job is extremely dangerous.
Yes, because people would design complex flues when building mansions, and the children responsible for cleaning sometimes died because they were stuck in the wall and could not come out. Although in 1788, someone submitted a petition for legislation to protect chimney sweep children, and
Legislation was also successfully passed, but during the implementation of this bill, it was just a "charitable act". If parents were not short of money at home, they would buy gifts for their children instead of letting them drill chimneys.
The reason why this bill attracted Georgiana's attention was that a wizard also participated in the legislative process. This wizard was named David Potter, who was Harry Potter's great-great-grandfather. Like other laws, this
The bill was blocked at first, but David Porter may have used some "little tricks" to get the bill passed in Parliament without any difficulty.
This is of course a violation of international confidentiality laws, but no one has evidence to prove this. In addition, this bill later became a dead letter, and no one cared about it.
During the heyday of the Industrial Revolution, many countries, especially the United Kingdom, used child labor on a large scale in the process of industrialization. This promoted economic development and increased family income in the short term, but the "over-exploitation" of children led to the country's
Society and children pay a heavy price over the long term.
For every 1,500 prisoners arrested in London, there are close to 400 underage prisoners, and these underage prisoners are often placed in adult prisons. Instead of correcting their behavior, they become like
It's like entering a "further education school" and learning more advanced ways of committing crimes.
What is even more shocking is that the age at which these juvenile offenders are most susceptible happens to be between the ages of 15 and 20, which is when they are about to reach adulthood.
They will soon understand that through stealing, they can easily obtain more than labor to support themselves and their parents, whether it is chickens in the chicken coop, pigeons in the pigeon house, or jewelry in the jewelry box.
If they know how to sell stolen goods, they will learn it in prison. Therefore, there have been suggestions that juvenile prisoners and adult prisoners should be detained separately, or that a reform school similar to Stonewall High School should be established.
Well-meaning people believe that the human soul is immortal, that God can discern the same noble qualities in every child as we do, and that love should be the most important emotion for all those who try to influence these children.
But Georgiana heard that the "teacher" at the reform school believed that whips were better than "education of love." Fenon's sister Maggie also thought so. Before she was blown up into a balloon and flew into the sky, she heard that Harry
Happy to be whipped.
Child labor not only seriously damages children's physical and mental health, but also deprives them of the right to receive normal education. With the deepening of industrialization, the requirements for technology are getting higher and higher. Children with low educational levels can no longer adapt to the needs of production and cannot
Competence in technically demanding production processes was particularly prominent in Britain in the mid-19th century.
Other countries, especially Germany, focused on basic education, and their development speed was astonishingly fast. Only then did people discover that exploiting children was actually exploiting Britain's future. Children began to be regarded as the wealth of the country, not their parents. If parents continue to treat their children
If you send it out to make money, social workers will intervene. The chimney law was actually implemented after 1875. It took nearly a century for the entire bill to go from legislation to practice before people regarded it as a "shameful bad habit."
Children from poor families are sensible early, especially boys, who start working early. The problem for girls is much more complicated. Their bodies develop very early. Napoleon also had a "lover" named Georgina, who was not yet an adult.
Georgina is very mature in every aspect.
This is a characteristic of this era. No one thinks that there is a problem with such a relationship with an underage girl. Bonaparte did not have access to these in Corsica before, and he had no chance to encounter them before he became famous. By the time he reaches now
With this position, "all kinds of strange phenomena" emerge one after another.
The big city is a big dyeing vat. Compared to the bustling city, she prefers the ice and snow of Scotland. Like Hermione, she likes to read reading as a "pastime", although this is difficult for Ron and Harry to understand.
She now wanted to drop everything and go to the library of the magical world to look up information about thestrals. This animal was obviously related to death, and almost all the people she met here were dead.
If Yeqi has the ability to travel between the two worlds, she can leave here.
Yes, she was waiting for Severus to pick her up, but that didn't mean that she had to be a "princess" responsible for screaming throughout the whole process, leaving all the things that needed to be thought out to the "knight" to solve.
However, she soon discovered that she did not have that time. She had to attend social activities. Before she could witness Leona being handed over to the Belgian police, she got on the carriage again and headed to the city center.
Compared with heavily industrialized cities, more children attend Sunday schools in the countryside. Education was originally a privilege of the middle and upper classes and was beyond the reach of the lower classes, but people soon realized the impact that ignorance and illiteracy had on society.
Harm, people feel that educated people are less likely to be fooled than uneducated people, and the rough appearance of the people at the bottom poses a threat to the personal and property safety of the middle and upper classes.
But Georgiana thought of Voldemort. If he had not gone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learned the skills to use magic and the knowledge of contact with Horcruxes, would he have caused so much harm to society?
She took out the rough recorder again and compared the Sirius in her memory with the one she had just seen. She remembered that she had a "dream" yesterday. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and two black figures were fighting for it.
, one of them won, he lay next to the blood, and soon mutated, looking like a man with tattoos all over his body.
The Sirius in her memory, especially after returning from Azkaban, had always been very thin, while that man had strong muscles.
It couldn't be him, because Sirius was already dead, in the Chamber of Death in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries.
His body passed through the curtains in front of the arch and fell to the ground.
The crux of the matter was, where did that arch lead to? As far as she knew, it existed before the Ministry of Magic was established, or even before Whitehall was built.
She also encountered one in the Alps. That kind of curtain seemed to be made, and it was even used by Grindelwald when he summoned his followers.
Harry is a kind-hearted child, but what he is encountering now is not something that a child can handle, not to mention that Albus Dumbledore is no longer here.
She has no one to rely on except herself.
"Angel? What an insulting word." She muttered and put the flute into the bracelet.
"Compared to sweetheart?" Albus asked, sitting across from the carriage.
She ignored him and chose to close her eyes and fall asleep.
After all, if he was a figment of her schizophrenia, then it was best for her to ignore him.
If he is not, then she had better not talk to him easily before she knows whether he is an enemy or a friend.
After all, Eve just casually talked to the snake and was deceived in the end. As an assistant, not only did she fail to help, she was expelled from the Garden of Eden along with Adam.
She should have put a seal on its mouth. It's a pity that she didn't do that. So why did she?
Is it because she can't or doesn't want to? Because no one has been willing to chat with her for a long time. She is so lonely that she is willing to talk to him no matter who he is.
