INTRODUCTION
The 1960s was a decade that began on January 1, 1960 and
ended on December 31, 1969.The 1960s is also called The
Sixties, denoting the inter-related cultural and political events
across the globe.
In the United States, John F. Kennedy, made social reforms like
civil rights for African Americans and healthcare for the elderly
and the poor. During his presidency, the first man go to the
Moon…

DEVELOPMENT
At the beginning of the 1960s, pop and rock and roll music of
the 1950s continued. By the mid-1960s, rock and roll gradually
changed by pop rock , beat , psychedelic rock , blues rock and
folk rock. The country and folk style associated with the latter-
half of 1960s rock music gave a generation of popular singer-
songwriters.
The most important singers are Cher , Bob Dylan , Elvis Presley
and the bands the Rolling Stone , The Beatles and The Who.
6
The hits of the decades are…
Cher : Cher blows.
Bob Dylan: Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance.
Elvis Presley: Stuck on You.
Rolling Stone : (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.
The Beatles: I want to hold your hand.
The who: My Generation.
CONCLUSION
The 1950’s are considered the ‘Golden Age’ of family, where
every family was a traditional, nuclear family. This idea
disappeared in the 60’s and 70’s by a permissive society, which
‘attacked’ family values.
Around the 60’s:
1. Abortions were legalized.
2. The contraceptive pill became free
This gave women the freedom to control their bodies and their
fertility and freedom and the opportunity to be more equal with
men. Some example of these are:
1. Equal Pay
2. Equal Opportunities
3. Divorce Reform etc.
In our opinion, abortion must not be legalized in our country.

Conclusion Some of the advantages of the 80s are:
Surgical procedures to the body to appear younger.
Advance of Technology: In our modern society, people can't see themselves without computers, cell phones, voice mail...etc..
In our opinion:
The surgical procedures to the body are important if you have an
accident or because of a desease but not to appear younger and
change your real image .
It is good to be in contact with others but the problem is that it can bring
addiction to it.

Singing and music have always played an important role in
learning and the communication of culture”.
At the beginning, music was used for celebration and now
music is used give opinions and influence the audience. Music
influences how people act, what people do and our religion.
We think that music is good to spend a good time but we
don't have to be influenced by the musicians.

The Egypt Pyramids
INTRODUCTION
A pyramid is a solid figure whose base is a polygon and whose sides that
meet in a common vertex or apex of the pyramid. The triangular sides are
called lateral faces. The altitude of a pyramid is a perpendicular distance
from the vertex to the base.
DEVELOPMENT
29
Egyptologists and historians debated the question of who built the
Pyramids, and how were they built.
Standing at the base of the Pyramids at Giza, for example, is hard to
believe that any of these enormous monuments were built in one
pharaoh's lifetime.
Who built the pyramids?
The first pyramid was built by King Djoser during Egypt's Third
Dynasty. His architect, Imohtep, created a step pyramid by putting
six stones one next to the other. Inside the pyramids, most of the
kings were buried. The largest and most well-known pyramids in
Egypt are the Pyramids at Giza, designed for Pharaoh Khufu.
It is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 laborers were
needed to build the Great Pyramid at Giza in less than 23 years.
How old are they?
The Djoser pyramid (2630-2611 BC). The Giza Pyramids (2551-2472BC). A selection of 5th Dynasty pyramids (2465-2323 BC). A selection of 6th Dynasty pyramids (2323-2150 BC). A selection of Middle Kingdom pyramids (2040-1640 BC).
What were the purpose of the Pyramids? Their purpose was not architectural but religious; the Pyramids of Egypt were tombs that descended from the most primitive of burial mounds. Apparently the Pharaoh believed that every living body didn’t die
with the last breath, that is why the flesh must be preserved against
violence and decay.
Papyrus
Papyrus is a thick paper-like material produced from the papyrus
plant, its use for producing a medium for writing purposes, papyrus
was also used for mattresses on beds, for building chairs, tables,
and other furniture as well as for mats, baskets, boxes, sandals,
30
utensils, rope and boats. The papyrus root was also a source of
food, medicine and perfume.
CONCLUSION
We come to the conclusion that it is difficult to believe that the Egypt
Pyramids were built by people without any kind of technology. In
Fact the building of the Pyramids continue being a mystery for the
whole the Humanity.

Eiffel Tower
Introduction
The world's most famous landmark is the Eiffel Tower.
It announces to all that you see: “This is Paris”.
It stands on the horizon of Paris and is the major
icon in the history of construction of buildings.
Development
As the French government was planning the Centennial
Exposition of 1889, an exhibition to celebrate the
French Revolution, a known engineer Alexandre
Gustave Eiffel, was asked to design and build a
32
structure for the occasion. His tower got praise and
criticism and a lot of wonderful comments. After the
Centennial Exposition of 1889 , Eiffel knew he had to
find new cost-effective ways to save the tower.
A public company was in charge of the Eiffel Tower
for many years but then it passed to the government
of the city of Paris. The tower was reconstructed and
renovated in 1981-1983 in preparation for its 100th
anniversary in 1989. The renovation cost about $ 40
million.
The Eiffel Tower is a 984-foot (300 meter) tall and
is made of iron; it was the tallest structure in the
world. Elevator Company designed elevators with
glass walls to reach the first and second stages.
From the second floor of the third platform, which is
near the top, four balanced elevators go up and down
. On the first floor and second floor there are
restaurants: Le Parisien on the lower level and La
Belle France at the top level. The part in the third
Salle (hall) is used for business, conferences,
exhibitions, cultural events and social meetings.
There is a gift shop and a snack bar on the second
smallest plant. Even at this level, it is possible to
have a great view of Paris without having to go to
the top.
33
Conclusion
We chose this monument because we think is the most
beautiful of the world.
34
INTRODUCTION
The Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace
of Westminster in London.
DEVELOPMENT
The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Barry was the chief architect of the
Palace but Augustus Pugin was the designer of the clock tower. It was his last design
before his death.
Pugin wrote: "I never worked so hard in my life except for Mr. Barry and fortunately the
clock tower was beautiful." The tower was designed in Gothic style, and is 315 feet
(96.0 m) high.
CONCLUSION
At present, the Parliament and the Big Ben are the most important attractions in London.
Millions of people walk around them and take a lot of photographs.
We’ll wish to travel to London someday to visit the Parliament and the Big Ben.

COLISEUM
INTRODUCTION
The Coliseum is an amphitheater of the Roman Empire period,
built in the century I, in the center of the city of Rome.
Flavia Dynasty emperors built it but Nero didn't conserve it.
The Coliseum is one of the most famous monuments of
classical antiquity which was declared a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO in 1980 as one of the New Seven Wonders of
the Modern World on July 7, 2007.
DEVELOPMENT
THE COLISEUM CLASSIC
36
At 29 AD, Taurus Statilius Roman consul built The Coliseum
Classic which was the first large amphitheater of the city,
with all necessary facilities. This building was destroyed in
the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. From that moment on,
there was a need for a new theater for the city .
The New Coliseum was built in the same site of the previous
one under the rule of Emperor Vespasian, between 70 and 72
AD.
THE COLISEUM OF THE MIDDLE AGES
The Colosseum had major changes in its use during the
medieval period. At the end of the sixth century a small
church was built in the structure of the amphitheater, but
apparently nobody gave religious significance to the building.
In the Middle Age, there was an earthquake that caused
major damage and the building was abandoned.
COLISEUM IN THE MODERN AGE
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Coliseum
was consecrated by Benedict XIV as a holy place in memory
of the martyrs executed there.
CONCLUSION
The Colosseum is ,without any doubt, one of the great
tourist attractions of Rome. It was included into a film
multiple times, with digital reconstruction as shown in
“Gladiator film “.
In 1980, UNESCO declared the Colosseum as a World
Heritage Humanidad. Since 2000, the authorities have
maintained the building illuminated for 48 hours each time
somewhere in the world someone is sentenced to death.

Coliseum
Introduction
The Roman Coliseum is located in the center of the City of
Rome. Originally it was called the Flavian Amphitheatre,
and then it took the name of Coliseum by a large statue
located next to it; “ the Colossus of Nero”.
Development
We know that it was built under Emperor Vespasian, in a
place where Nero had built a lake when ordered to burn
Rome.
No one knows who was given its design and construction
to but Rabirius , Severo, Gaudencio or Apollodorus of
Damascus were always mentioned .
38
It had a forum for 50,000 spectators where gladiators
fighted and many people were the spectators. It was built
between 70 and 72 AD.
The Coliseum has enormous measures: 188 meters and
156 meters radius larger. It has an elliptical shape. It is 57
meters high. Inside, under the bleachers, the Coliseum
has long corridors that permit attendees to enter and
exit with ease. The boxes had an anteroom and were
used according to the social position of the viewer.
Conclusion
At present, The Coliseum is the most important attraction
in Rome and fortunately it will never be used as a place
for fighting and killing people.
