CARING FOR THE CHILDREN

In many traditional societies, caring for the children is only the mother's responsibility. More recently some people have argued that the father's role should be as important as the mother's role.



CARING FOR THE CHILDREN


Caring for the children is only the mother's resposibility or the father's and mother's rol are important?. I agree with the caring for the children are a responsibility between father and mother, each have characteristics that contribute in the growing up children process.
Each parents are important figure's in the caring for the children, for example, when the children are babies the mother's responsibility is teach the firts words and behavior rules and the father's responsibility is teach the firts games and behavior rules, too. Also, in the young each parents has a specific role, for example, the mother teach the physical growing up process, and the father teach to solve and take decitions front of many situations.
All in all, the father's and mother's role are important during the caring for the children process, because each figure contribute in its with characteristics that are complement for example, the firts words, games and behavior rules or the physical growing up process and solve and take desitions.

GREECE EXOTIC COUNTRY

Greece has a particular long and eventful history and a cultural country. Greece's its located on the southern end of the Balkan peninsula, the capital city is Athens. In adittion, western Greece contains a number of lakes and wetlands and it is dominated by Pindus mountain range. Pindus has a maximun elevation of 2.636 metres and it is essentially a prolongation of the Dinaric Alps.

The shores of Greece's Aegean Sea saw the emergence of the first advanced civilizations in the wake of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, there emerged across the Greek peninsula and islands poleis, or city- states, each with their own distinct social and govermental infrastructure, uniting under Athens and Sparta to repel Persian advance. Also, The conditions had been created for the flowering of Athens and birth of classical civilization, drawing to a close only with the culmination of the perennial conflict between Athens and Sparta, the Peloponnesian war. In contrast, the modern Greece is a developed country a member of the European Union since 1981. In adittion, the country adopted the Euro in 2001 and being member of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union since 2001, in 2004 organized the Olympic Games in Athens.

Greek culture envolved over several thousand years, with it's earliest known civilization being in the Mycenean and Minoan era, continuing into classical Greece, the birth of the Hellenistic era and through the influence of the Roman Empire and its Greek Eastern successor the Byzantine Empire. On the other hand, the constitution of Greece recognizes the Greek Orthodox faith as the "established" religion of the country. Also, the Muslim community numbers between 200.000 and 300.000 and the Greek members of roman Catholic faith are estimated at 50.000.

To sum up, Greek is a exotic site for known the hystoric developtment of our society and the same time you can know beautiful atiques contructions such as, Acropolis, Athens Olympic Stadium, white Tower, Byzantine Museum, etc.
