In America workers were not always treated well. In the early days of the 1880's, hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Europe came to the United States. They worked for very little pay. The owners of businesses and factories were able to get a lot of work for little money. They expected their employees to work 10 to 16 hours a day. Women and children worked for lower wages than men, and owners hired them for this reason. ... レベル12 [駒澤大]

By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations, and particularly in new, strange and perplexing situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do. ...レベル16 [関西大学]

Appropriate for a technology associated with radio operators on sinking ships, the idea of Morse code is said to have occurred to Samuel Morse while on board a ship crossing the Atlantic.
