The Monarchy

The monarchy is the world's oldest system of government. Has been in place since 1952, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain has been the summit, she is also a direct descendant of King Egbert. In his ruling, King Egbert in 829 AD in a unified Britain. In the parliamentary system prior to the birth, on the monarchy in Britain has existed for hundreds of years, during which only stopped once, in 1649-1660, when Britain adopted the system of the Republic. For centuries, the monarchy's absolute power has been continuously eroded and undermined Nevertheless, the sense of the Constitution as head of state, the monarch still retains an important symbolic significance. Over the past several hundred years, the reign of King on the personality characteristics of state affairs had a significant impact. Nine Year end of the century, King Alfred's Xisakesi beat Denmark by King Long Good led invaders, and Denmark's King Christian into, so that Britain's political map has undergone major changes, and Britain reunification of the Anglo - Saxon race laid the foundation. Years after King Henry VIII's rule led to significant social change. In order to achieve its objective of the establishment of the dynasty, Henry VIII of the reformed church, which after Protestant and Catholic differences between the fire laid, and strengthened the powers of Parliament. In the reign of Henry VIII, the aristocracy's economic strength is enhanced, which in subsequent Tudor internal struggle laid the foundation for the economy. In the second half of the sixteenth century, in the face of multiple crises at home and abroad, the ruling Elizabeth I proved to the world that he is a highly qualified, determined, resourceful and political leaders. In the nineteenth century, Queen Victoria in the rule, the United Kingdom on re-entry into the major social and political transformation period, and thus laid and the development of the British Empire in the world and influence. At the same time, Queen Victoria's husband Prince Elbert in Queen Victoria's long reign (from 1837 to 1901) to encourage the arts, science and industry, the British social development also had a profound impact. Britain in 2002 to celebrate the Queen Elizabeth II's golden celebration of 50 years in power. During this period, even though both Britain and the world has undergone tremendous social and technological change, Queen Elizabeth II has been the firm at the helm of British society, public services, public functions, and so on behalf of the sanctity of traditional values

The Welfare system

In 1948, the British basically realized the "welfare state", the world in establishing their own welfare system, we come to Britain to learn from their experience, thinking that his stones from other hills may serve to polish jade, but for Britain, the huge welfare system is just like chicken ribs, that they are not abandoned, eat too tired, really hard to dismount miserable.

From cradle to grave welfare system, indeed let the British have been very proud: young children thrive, the elderly enjoying their later years, but it like a double-edged sword, excessive social welfare, to economic has increased too much load. The early 20th century, the United Kingdom is still second to none in the world enjoy the "world factory" reputation may be, but 100 years later, its status is in decline in Europe, at best, can only be considered a second-rate country. Why did Britain and the decline by Sheng, speaking for many reasons, but the all-embracing welfare system, I am afraid to blame.

The British welfare system, this is a product of social contradictions reconciled. Every social change, victims are usually the lowest level of workers, peasants, in order to ease the contradiction between the welfare system came into being. Continuing 300 years of enclosure, so that farmers have no set stricken, ruin and death, full of hatred of the authorities has become a "trouble maker", this, the British Government to combine soft and hard, one hand high-handed policy to crack down on the other one hand to appease tame. 1601 enactment of "poor law" (poorlaw), established throughout the country workhouse, asylum relief to the elderly, orphans, the disabled. The 18th century, the industrial revolution, labor productivity by leaps and bounds, puts many workers tossed sea of bitterness of unemployment and promote the abyss of poverty, people hurry, and could rise up at any time, the ruler of the buildings crumbling. Blame for the civilian population, philanthropists who advocate lenient, vigorously promote welfare, the Government's relief surface wider: the children for free medical examinations and medical treatment, and poor students are given free milk, subject to compensation for work-related injuries, unemployment and get relief, 70-year-old the above low-income people, as long as 12 years have lived in the UK can take the pension.

On Juvenile Delinquency

Young boys and girls are the future of our country. It is an unremmitting task of great significance that we properly guide our youths, educate and train them so that they form a sound outlook of life and become the pillar of the state in the 21century. However, there has been a sharp increase in juvenile delinquency, which means great harm not only to the youngsters and the families concerned but also to the destiny and prospects of our nation. For this reason, it is a topic of great importance as to how we can create a sound social environment for the young, thus preventing them from committing transgression and crimes. What constitutes the four major factors leading to juvenile delinquency the society, families, schools and the psychological phsiological conditions of the youths. Secondly, schools should carry out plans of education for students' all round development with equal attention of teaching and cultivating. Thirdly, law education and precautionary alertness should be enhanced. Last but not least, criminals infringing upon the legal rights of the minors should be severely punished and models knowing and abiding by the law awarded.

Newspaper

Because of the small geographical area of the UK, and the good travel infrastructure, there are many national newspapers - unlike the United States, where most newspapers are printed and published locally. Unlike France, the main national papers are morning newspapers; indeed, there are no national evening titles.
UK newspapers are generally grouped into three, rather historical, groups - mass market tabloids, or red-tops (eg The Sun), middle-market tabloids (eg the Daily Mail), and quality broadsheets (eg The Times). Unlike other European countries, there are no daily all-sport newspapers.

Newspaper publishing in the UK underwent a revolution in the mid 1980s, fuelled by the launch of Eddie Shah's middle-market Today newspaper. Freed of the out-dated practices of the print unions, this, the UK's first colour newspaper, threatened the established newspapers by using computers almost exclusively to typeset and print the paper. In this way, a newspaper could survive with a far lower readership, because it was simply cheaper to produce. The launch was not without its faults - problems with colour printing led to the title being lampooned on the satirical TV programme 'Spitting Image' as being printed in 'Shah-vision', while the first edition's front page, a full-colour picture of the Queen on tour abroad, was nearly two hours late, making distribution of the paper a nightmare. The middle-market 'Today' wasn't a hit with advertisers and conservative readers, and, swallowed by Murdoch's News International empire within two years, it was closed in 1995. However, its legacy lives on to this day.
Fleet Street in London, for years the home of the British press, is now all but deserted by publishers. The revolution in work practices coincided with expansion in the once-derelict East London Docklands, reinvented as a centre for business. News International titles The Times and The Sun moved to purpose-built buildings in Wapping, in the East End of London. The 're-engineering' of the titles' production was acrimonious, with many people being made redundant; the Wapping plant was picketed for a long while afterwards. The Daily Telegraph, along with The Independent and The Mirror, moved into Canary Wharf (properly known as 1 Canada Square), the centre-piece of the Docklands and one of the highest buildings in the world.
A trip down Fleet Street these days is still worthwhile; the art-deco Express building still stands, and is a shining example of 1920s architecture. Near it is the old Daily Telegraph building, still suitably adorned with its former owner's name, and still also including the alleyway to Peterborough Court, the place that gave its name to the humorous gossip column in the paper. DC Thomson, the Scottish newspaper publisher, is the only news organisation still in place in Fleet Street.

British and Chinese's food are very different. I prefer the cake in the UK, there are many different types of cake, but prices are not expensive, in addition, there is pasta, you can buy a variety of sauce at the supermarket, and then eat Italy by sauce. Of course, some foods I do not like it. May be different from our taste. In China, we like to stir-fries food to eat, but in the UK, many foods are cooked to eat. Our country's traditional food is dumplings. In China, many people like to eat dumplings.
