Chronological
The feminist movement gained strength in the early
twentieth century until, in the 1920s and 1930s,
women's suffrage was acquired in all constitutions of
civilized countries. But it was only after World War II
that feminism widened the radius of its claims. What
had originally been only a political claim became a far-
reaching movement. (José Luis Abellán)

The Moon is the only natural satellite on Earth.
With a diameter of 3476 km is the fifth largest
satellite of the Solar System, while in proportion
proportional to its planet is the largest satellite: a
quarter of the Earth's diameter and 1/81 of its

Using the internet for entertainment is not a bad thing
in itself. The bad thing is to abuse. The world of the
web is full of very useful knowledge, the ideal would
also be used in that facet, and that is not only as a way
of leisure. The teenager spends considerable time in
front of the computer, one of the biggest
consequences is the loss of an active social life. I'm
likely to lose contact with my closest friends, and
spend more time with "virtual" friend.,

Mariana had waited all her life on the day of her wedding, so much
was her illusion that she had formed a strict plan. That day
everything went perfectly, the bridegroom, the bridesmaids and the
guests, but she did not have the impertinent wind that was sneaking
through the windows of the church and with that that day the priest
only had the cassock on, so the Show was captured by all the cameras
just when they gave the kiss the bride and the groom.

The difference between diesel and gasoline vehicles does not only correspond to
the type of fuel, it also applies to structural differences of the engines, their
performance, power and traction capacity, which is usually higher in diesel
engines and have quite a fuel consumption More reduced. While the gasoline
engine has a greater revolution and therefore a faster response, another aspect
that clearly differentiates the two engines is its robustness and loudness, as the
gasoline engine can be lighter and is always less loud than the Diesel engine
It consists in the expression of the similarities or
differences that exist between two objects or phenomena
