AN IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD

Maria Montessori was born in 1870 and dead in 1952, she was a teacher, pedagogue, philosopher, doctor and an Italian scientist. A very important woman for her teaching method adopted in a lot of schools, she was the first woman to graduate in medicine in Italy. The Montessori method starts from the study of children with psychological problems and expands on children that haven't problems. In the method there is the freedom that promotes creativity of the child. The freedom must be present in the discipline that the child is studying. In 1907 she found the first "Children's home"destined not only to children with psychological problems but also to normal children that lived in St. Lorenzo, neighbourhood in Rome. Maria Montessori faces the topic of illiteracy and she claims the importance of  alphabet, of reading and of writing for a better world.

Size zero, models have dangerous eating disorders

Models must be very thin to get work. Modeling agencies tell models to be size zero or they will not get jobs. A study looked at the link between eating disorders among models and pressure from modeling agencies and for this in the fashion world there are eating disorders. Researchers found that 81% of models were underweight. They missed meals, used diet pills and made themselves throw up. Over half said their agency would not give them work without losing weight. Eating disorders lead to problems like heart damage, weak bones and death. Sadly, many teenagers copy models.
