All we know that children don't work nowadays. Their parents or other adults take care of them. But earlier in history, it was quite normal. Let's examine this situation. In Russia in 1882 there was the law which forbade children's labour up to twelve years. From 12-15 age there was the limitation for work time only eight hours a day and ban for night work. Also there was ban for children's work at the unhealthy manufactures. What could children do? They were allowed to make spoons, cane baskets, painting of wooden dishes. In England that time there was the beginning of the machine manufactures. They displaced hand labour. Every new machine was to take away "bread" from the workers, especially from poor people's children. Those machines were simple so women and children could work on them. But the manufacturers noticed that they could exploit children more profitable than adults. They could pay less and children couldn't defend their interests. Even children of five, six and seven ages had to work at the factories. Beside this, they were to pay fines for some rest or talk to neighbour.
Interesting, but these are true facts. I wonder, if modern children could work in such conditions?

Michael Jackson was born in 1959. “The Jackson Five” first hit the charts with “I Want You Rack” in 1969 when Michael was only 10 years old! By 1981 he had released “Thriller” – the biggest selling solo album of all time. Jackson was rich beyond anybody’s imagination.
Michael Jackson was not a typical teenager. Some people think he’s been trying to recreate hisjjost childhood ever since. We all know that Jackson has his own “Neverland” mansion, a private zoo and a pet chimpanzee called Bubbles.
This is not so surprising. Jackson owns 250 songs written by Lennon and McCartney. He once signed a $28 million contract to promote sportswear. Surely a man who earns hundreds of dollars every minute is allowed to have expensive hobbies. But there is a sinister side to Jackson that the public and the media find harder to accept. Obsessed with.his image, he’s spent thousands of dollars on plastic surgery. There have been newspaper reports that he has taken hormone supplements that keep his singing voice high and used chemicals to turn his skin whiter. Jackson has always denied these allegations completely.
It’s a fact that where there are stars there is always an opportunity for scandal. Right now it’s difficult for the public to know what to believe.
