The Vikings
Raiders, travelers or brave explorers?

 

    The Vikings sailed the seas, attacked towns, and stole treasures all over Europe between 800 and 1100. They started from Scandinavia and attacked many countries in Europe. They settled in Britain, Ireland and France. They also crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Iceland and Greenland. They discovered North America but they alsc traveled east to Russia and south to Arabia.

    They were good farmers and excellent shipbuilders. They used their ships for war. They also used them to carry people and goods to new lands. In winter, when there was not much farm work to do, they stayed home and did other interesting jobs. Men made swords to use them in battle. The Vikings liked swords so much they often decorated them with gold and gave them names. Women cooked and made clothes, shoes, and jewelry for themselves,                    children and husbands.

    In 866 the Vikings captured an Anglo-Saxon town. They called it Jorvik and it was the capital of the Viking kingdom for 200 years. They made Jorvik rich and one oi the most famous cities in Britain. Some years ago, archeologists discovered part of that Viking town in York, the modern city of Jorvik. They found many things such as Jewelry, coins and clothes. If you ever go to York and you want to travel back in time and see how the Vikings lived, visit the Jorvik Centre!

Cyberbullying on the rise

Bullying among children and teenagers is not something new but it is getting more and more common by modern methods of communication.

Cyberbullying happens when an adolescent is put in danger by another child or teenager by photos or text messages sent to cell phones or posted on social networks. Sometimes cyberbullies send mails with sexual comments or take passwords of other teenagers and log on to websites with false identities. Children also play Internet games and make fun of each other in many ways.

A study by a Canadian University shows that half of the young people interviewed said that they suffer bullying${}^1$. One of the reasons is the great use of cell phones${}^2$ over the past years. Today’s children are connected with each other electronically. They call friends every time they want or communicate with them on Facebook.

Cyberbullying is getting extremely popular because teens can stay anonymous${}^3$. Many adolescents act this way because they feel frustrated or angry${}^4$ and want to punish somebody for something that happened to them. At other times, they do it just for fun or because have nothing else to do${}^5$. Parents usually don’t know their child is a cyberbully${}^6$. They perceive it${}^7$ just when the victim or the victim’s parents contact them.

This kind of bullying is not as inoffensive as many people think. In some cases, it can lead to suicide. Many countries have organized campaigns to inform adults and children of its dangers${}^8$.

There are a few ways to prevent cyberbullying${}^9$. First, it is important to show children that they have to respect others and they are responsible for what they do. For victims it is important not to play the bully’s game or answer their emails and text messages. It is also important to get help from parents and teachers.

Often schools get involved. They bring together the parents of victims${}^1$${}^0$ and cyberbullies and talk with them. Cyberbullying does not always end at school. Often, parents go to the police and accuse the bullies.
