Phase national research Report of Italian girls• This article is about school changes in the last three generations.• First we have noticed that in the past there were many kind of schools
but only a kind for technical subjects, while today there are a lot of technical schools like Ipsa, Ecap, Itis...
• Second, the Universities were attended by very few people, in particular men who were quite rich; in fact, poor people, even if very good, couldn’t go on with their studies because there weren’t studies bags.
• On the other hand, girls stopped their studies earlier than the boys because they had to stay at home to look after little babies or cook or clean and very few of them did high-schools on our grandparents’ age. In addition classes were separated between boys and girls, and there were a lot of students in each class. There were also some other differences; in fact since primary schools the subjects were houseworks for girls, works with wood for boys.
• During Mussolini’s governament, everyone had to rotten and they had to wear black clothes.
Phase : comparison
At schoolIn discussionboard
Comparison (published in magazine)• criminality conclucions, norway• From the reports we got from the other school, we found out that the
criminality are much the same in all countries. In the 30’s there were crimes but not as much as now and it was mostly small crimes like theft. The punishment was prison and fines. At these time people feel safe to walk alone on the street.
• In the 60’s there wasn’t much crime either but it was more crime committed than in the 30’s. The police start to control the streets more, but people feel safe to walk on the streets.
• In the 90’s the crimes have risen a lot, now there are not only men who commit the crimes the female take also part. Young people commit more serious crimes. People start to feel unsafe when they walk on the streets specially the older people. Also the new technology-age that wasn’t before came now in the 90’s, hackers are more often stealing money from people on the Internet.
• The main cause of crime is more violence in the media like films and computergames.
