money and life

Chapter 17 Health is the most precious wealth (3)
The group was officially established in 1844. It will aim to improve the lives of the people and rectify the urban environment.The Society of Poor Law Commissioners issued two reports after the group's formation, hoping that the government would bring sanitation into law as soon as possible.However, at this time, free trade is being discussed in the country, and the Committee Association has not taken any substantive actions in the past few years.And Mr. Chadwick used this free time to conduct another investigation in London, including London's tap water system, sewage system, etc., and then the association compiled three reports based on Mr. Chadwick's investigation. Played a major role in the ensuing Legislative Assembly.

In 1848, Edwin ?Chadwick's vision of improving sanitation became a reality, and the Public Health Act came into effect that year, along with the establishment of the National Board of Health.Mr Chadwick also joined the committee.Since its inception, the committee has put forward many proposals to improve urban sanitation, which gradually passed through the legislative assembly and became law.The committee also regularly conducts follow-up investigations on bills and improvement actions, and issues reports for public inspection.The committee has conducted detailed investigations and studies on the use of water resources, the relationship between diseases and the environment, and the hygiene of rental houses, which are closely related to people's livelihood.Sanitation has morphed into a national event, thanks to Edwin?Chadwick's tireless efforts.However, due to his personal temper, Mr. Chadwick withdrew from the National Health Commission. His personality is more irritable and not gentle enough, but his irritability and ungentleness are all vented on those who harm the public interest.People should learn to evaluate problems separately and maintain an objective thinking attitude, so there are still many people who have made positive comments on his efforts.More and more people joined his thoughts and actions to contribute to the improvement of the sanitation environment.

A man determined to do something great, a man who never flinched in the face of incomprehension and criticism, a man who fought alone and ultimately achieved greatness, such a selfless devotion is rare, and he will always be missed, Remember his contribution to the people and society.Edwin?Many of Chadwick's proposals were written into bills, and he accomplished more than dedicated legislators.His appearance made people pay attention to the hygienic environment.Under his appeal, people have come to realize that improving the environment is something that benefits both others and themselves.It was also because of Mr. Chadwick that the Baroness Courtesy House Society, the Peabody House Society, and other housing associations for the benefit of the working working class were established.

In all cause actions involving the public interest, Edwin?Chadwick is undoubtedly the person who has contributed the most and achieved the most. His name can be listed with Clarkson and Howard, because the achievements of the three of them are comparable. The impact is equally huge.

The role of the family in health
The best way to get out of a messy, squalid life is to start a family.People can learn things in the family that they can't get outside.Children grow healthy and thrive in the home, where their character and habits are formed.Whether a person's conduct is good or bad, it is initially stereotyped in the family.The connotation and self-cultivation of the family determine the character and behavior of family members.Home is indispensable for everyone, and only through family education can primitive human beings be cultivated.A good family brings people a feeling of spring breeze, while a corrupt family will only make people cast aside and despise.

Don't blame children for not changing bad habits after repeated teaching. Schools can only persuade and reduce bad habits.You must know that the origin of these bad habits is in the family. Parents and siblings may be the guides of the students. Under the influence of our ears and eyes, the students will become like them. No matter whether the behavior is good or bad, they will be imitated by the children.No matter how good the teachers are and how knowledgeable they are, they cannot completely eradicate the bad habits of the students.The family has an unimaginable influence on a person's character and behavior. If a person's bad habits are beyond correction, the more knowledge he acquires, the more he can help him develop his bad habits. Don't expect him to be educated outside changed in.

For human beings, the family is not just a place to eat and sleep. Human life has become rich and colorful because of its appearance, and people's hearts have become dependent and hopeful because of its appearance.If all the families in the world were upright and beautiful, bad customs and bad customs would disappear.We all want to build a family into a warm, happy and harmonious paradise, where people can feel the beauty of life, especially children need a good environment for their growth.All these needs to be created by a housewife. She must be smart, resourceful, meticulous and cautious, and know how to manage the housework. Only such a woman can create a family environment suitable for the growth and life of the family.The quality of a family depends directly on the woman who runs it.It can be said that if you want to know whether a family is happy, you only need to look at the character of the housewife.Women control the family, and the family controls the country. If you want to improve the overall level of the country, you must first improve women's knowledge and morality, provide them with learning opportunities, and let them understand the stakes.

Before educating women, we should take into account their changing roles in different environments.They can be daughters, wives, mothers and housewives.It is a pity that women's education has not been valued by people all the time, even in upper-class aristocratic society, they do not take it seriously.What British women do in their teenage years does not help them much in the future. Girls from the bottom society go out to work early, while girls from the upper class put all their energy on things that are not important to life.It is in this environment that future wives, housewives and mothers grow up.

The society is like this, men's vision is the same as that of the mainstream society, ignoring women's wisdom and morality, and only paying attention to their beauty and figure.Men in love never care whether their lover is proficient in housework, and they don't realize the stupidity of their thinking until they start a family.Even a man whose ability is comparable to the heavens can't bear a wife who knows nothing but enjoyment. A man's enthusiasm will be extinguished by the cruel reality, and they will soon understand that a beautiful appearance is not as good as real life. A woman who is talented and practical, who can cook and do housework is the best.The consequences of blindly pursuing one-sided effects will not only affect men, but also women. A beautiful face can no longer attract men's attention. Even the law cannot protect such a marriage, and it may only lead to splitting.

If men knew a little about the family before marriage, they wouldn't make mistakes.The importance of family to life is self-evident. A family formed by ignorant men and women is not good for the growth of children, only bad.This home is not a place for them to rest and grow. It is like a hotel, with a dirty environment and only providing accommodation.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, no matter whether the income is rich or poor, men never have a comprehensive understanding of the family.Even if the income is more than that of people with high positions, they would rather spend it on alcohol and drink than leave some money to improve their family life and environment.Their behavior will make their family worse and worse, the originally good family conditions will gradually deteriorate, and the dilapidated family itself will worsen.They have no money to change their lives, so they have to live with low-quality people in dirty public environment; such a chaotic environment is really not suitable for people to live in, no matter how low the rent is, people's losses cannot be compensated by these meager money.People's personalities will become violent, their status will be low, their self-cultivation will be lacking, and their health will not be guaranteed.Even if the most learned and cultivated man were placed here, he would soon become like a primitive inhabitant, unable to maintain his sanity in the atmosphere of chaos.

The money that could have been saved to improve the living environment is wasted unconsciously in other ways, which also do not help people's life much.After all the money is spent, life is still poor, and they have to deal with a series of consequences brought about by the dirty environment. People who want to lend a helping hand, but there are so many people who need help, how can they cope.Days go by like this, and the poor are still poor. Compared with the middle and upper classes, if the people in the bottom class do not have a long-term and good plan for their families, the consequences will be much more serious.Most of the money in charitable funds goes to cover accidents caused by families who don't think about the consequences.

Regardless of the family, spend all their income, and then feel helpless in the face of disasters, depressed, and simply soak in pubs all day long. There are not many people who don't care about this kind of people in society.Mr. Chadwick blamed a worker for not spending most of his income on wine. The worker replied: "It is really a last resort, sir. If you have the same identity and status as us, I believe you will also make a reconciliation." We are the same.” A Mr. Li said: “We cannot completely believe that the root cause of excessive drinking lies in the bad environment. Those who have experienced the same experience will know that the environment is only a small part of the reason, and the real reason is family failure. And. The family does not have a good environment, there is no harmonious atmosphere, and members cannot unite in the face of difficulties. These are the most important reasons why many people choose to drink to escape reality. They are at a loss and can only escape the pressure of reality , Just like the sailors who were drifting at sea, they knew how to fight bravely when they first encountered a storm, but after finding that struggling was useless, everyone drowned in alcohol with thoughts of fear and despair, and died in the storm.”

Speaking of this, some people will surely counter that workers have to choose those housing with poor environment, because their social status makes them only able to rent these cheap and dirty housing.But if you think about it carefully, the supply is often affected by people's needs. The reason why those low-rent houses exist is because people need this kind of houses.If workers don't consider dirty places at all when choosing houses, but only look for clean and tidy areas, house owners will definitely readjust according to people's needs to cater to people's requirements.In this way, the harm to the environment will be reduced a lot, and everything will be in the hands of the workers themselves.It only takes a small increase in awareness to completely change the status quo.

Burdit?Mrs. Coates and Mr. Pabord are at the forefront of this effort, and they have created beautiful homes for people to rent.Now that the action of the homeowner has been completed, it is time for the action of the renter.There are two housing choices before the workers, one is messy and dirty, and the other is clean and tidy. Workers should choose the clean one without hesitation, but many people are still obsessed with it and would rather live in a messy environment.Perhaps these people have not discovered the impact of the environment on themselves. What they fancy is that the rent of a dirty house is less than that of a clean house, but the consequences of a dirty environment are much more than that rent; Fees, lost wages, how many times the rent will be added together!And just to save a little money, let yourself be accompanied by garbage and sewage, all day long, is it worth it?
As long as the house owner has a little awareness of the impact of the environment on people and is willing to organize the house facilities better, things will make a big difference.The cost of the houses is the same, the area is still so large, and the amount of building materials such as wood is also the same. There is no such thing as a clean house that costs more than a dirty house.Therefore, the price to be paid for breathing fresh air is very low, the sun is free, and nature gives it all for free.

Under the management of the ingenious housewife, the home is not only a place for rest and sleep, but it is the resting place of all virtues, the hiding place of all good things, and one can hear the knock of happiness.A man can see that his home is always surrounded by a warm and peaceful atmosphere, he can often hear the laughter of his wife and children in his ears, and the smiling faces of his neighbors can appear before his eyes.Only such a warm family can cultivate people with high morals, can shelter you from the wind and rain when difficulties come, and can rejoice for you after victory.

The Role of Women in Family Hygiene

Don't neglect caring for others, even the slightest concern can have a huge impact on a person, whether it is an old man, a child, a man or a woman.The more insignificant something is, the more significant it is.Missing an opportunity may cause an irreparable loss, and we will feel restless ourselves.Just like children, their happiness is based on someone helping them arrange everything in their daily life.If their life is a mess, it will leave a shadow on the young mind, and when they grow up, they will leave the imprint of their childhood bad treatment in terms of character and conduct; everyone is like this.

Everyone longs for a warm and comfortable family, but such a family requires the virtues of cleanliness, frugality, and hard work among its members, and the spirit of selfless dedication.In people's eyes, washing, cooking, cleaning, and serving children are all easy tasks, but they don't know the difficulties and responsibilities involved. Before a woman becomes a wife and mother, she should be very familiar with these things.Lord Ashburton said in a lecture at the Wolwu Training School: "We can often see some housewives arrange their household affairs in order and plan their living expenses reasonably, but others cannot. Their hands were all spent before they were warmed up. What is the reason for these situations? The family income is equal and the living conditions are the same, but some children can eat and clothe warmly, and some can only suffer from hunger and cold. Why? The same work takes the same time, why some people can finish it easily, while others have to use all their strength? There is only one reason for all the problems, and it is not related to the arrangement of God or their own destiny, but to people Whether to act in accordance with the law of development of things. Smart people know how to use the law to make themselves easy, and ignorant people can only rely on brute force to complete the task."

The reason why women's actions can play a good guiding role in people's character, morality and living environment is not because they follow the laws of development in nature. cultural education.No matter who you are, if you want to do something perfectly, you must first know why you are doing it.
