Elizabethean times

The relationships between children and there parents was that there were raised to respect their parents, their relationship was based on the fifth command which is ‘honour thy mother and father’.  Parents were strict with their children and they were improperly disciplined and often threatened such as when Capulet threatens Juliet to sell her and give her to his friends.  Children in the elizabethean times did not have a close relation ship with their mother because the nurse always looked after them.

slave trade

It seems hard to imagine now but since about 1500 there was a lot of money to be made buying and selling people as slaves.

Companies would go to Africa and capture men, women and children to be taken in horrific conditions on ships and destined for a cruel life in slavery.

Cities such as Bristol, London and Liverpool grew rich off the trade.

It's thought about 24 million Africans were sold to slave traders. The slaves were usually sent to work in the sugar cane fields on plantations - giant farms - in the Caribbean, North America and South America where the work was really hard and dangerous. Many were left disabled by work accidents.

Other slaves were used as personal servants in polite society in cities such as London and Edinburgh. Rich white people would buy the poor Africans and use them as slaves to tell the difference all the slaves involved they would put a hot iron on their chest or back and burn them. 

Around 12 million were shipped from Africa to the Americas, of whom 1.8 million died on the voyage. Millions more died within Africa in slave raiding, in forced movement to the coast or awaiting shipment. In total, the Atlantic trade may have caused the enslavement or death of 20 million, and the Arab and internal Afican trades perhaps a similar number.

The difference between free range and battery chickens

Free range chickens are allowed to run freely and have a lot more space and grass to be as natural as possible. Whereas battery chickens are kept locked up in cages with thousands of other battery chickens they can hardly move because the other animals are in their way some die of poor conditions.   Battery farm chickens are egg layers in cages normally there is for chickens to each cage.  Free range chickens mean that they are not in a cage but it does not necessarily mean that they have more than 1 square foot of space per bird or the birds ever get outside very often.  The size of a battery chicken cage is 450 square cm and the  minimum floor area to 800 square cm this is  how much space a battery chicken gets to share with 3-4 other chickens for the rest of their life.  On the other hand for a chicken  to be classed as a free ranged chicken it must have at least half of its life time continuous daytime access to open air runs and an area mainly covered in vegetation with the area being not less than 1cm2 for each free range chicken.  Life is very different for each of the birds and the difference is that battery chickens are kept in a cage all their life with 3-4 other chickens and free range chickens are allowed to run freely.
