Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
From gay
sex being illegal to teachers hitting you: Seven things you'll be glad you
didn't live through
In the
U.K., to be sure. Though they are either out of question or unquestionably
legal these days, there were conducts and practices that had not been illegal or
quite common until a few decades ago such as smoking on airplanes, hitting a
student or having a gay sex.
Basic human
rights and gender equality are respected in most democratic countries now but
they weren’t until late last century, long after the last World War. Those who
were born in early or the mid-20th century most likely experienced
or witnessed such now-uncommon practices or punishments. Nowadays, even smoking
or non-smoking question is becoming obsolete because the all flights and school
premises, and more restaurants or hotels are entirely smoke-free.
Well,
cowboys were carrying guns in America, some are still, and Samurais were carrying
swords in Japan until the 19th century. Customs don’t seem to change
so fast even in today’s fast-paced world.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if you’ve ever witnessed or experienced the examples in
the text.
