Aquí se ve a las soldaderas durante la Revolución Mexicana:





Las soldaderas, también conocidas como las Adelitas, eran las mujeres que participaban activamente en la Revolución Mexicana, acompañando a sus esposos. La Revolución comenzó en 1910, tuvo diferentes etapas y concluyó en 1920. Durante la Revolución, grupos de campesinos, gente humilde que vivía de la tierra, lucharon para pedir más derechos para los trabajadores. Los soldados eran los mismos campesinos y se movían de un lado a otro para luchar. Un grupo de mujeres iba con ellos y cocinaban, lavaban, eran enfermeras y acompañaban a los soldados en todos los sentidos. Algunas, incluso, salían a la lucha con los hombres.

El nombre de Adelitas lo recibieron en honor a Adela Velarde Pérez, la esposa de un soldado que compuso una canción o corrido, Las Adelitas, para honrar la tarea que realizaba su mujer, que dice: “si Adelita se fuera con otro, la seguiría por tierra y por mar; si es por mar en un buque (boat) de guerra, si es por tierra en un tren militar”. Esta canción, que se hizo muy popular entre los soldados de la revolución, sigue siendo hasta ahora parte de la tradición popular mexicana y recuerda la participación femenina en uno de los acontecimientos más importante del siglo xx para el pueblo mexicano.

answer. Television Transforms Daily Life It's not surprising that the effects of such a pervasive medium have attracted so much attention from parents, educators, social scientists, religious leaders, public officials and anyone else who wants to understand society's habits and values. TV has been blamed for everything from declines in literacy to rises in violent crime to the trivialization of national politics. Every once in a while it is praised, too, for giving viewers instant access to world events and uniting audiences in times of national crisis. An industry with this much presence in American life is bound to affect the way we live. Someone who is watching television is not doing other things: playing basketball, visiting a museum, or looking through telescope at the planets, for instance. Television can, however, bring you to a museum you might never visit or to a basketball game you cannot attend or to the surface of a planet you can only see through a telescope. Television technology, by adding pictures to the sounds of radio, truly transformed Americans' living and learning patterns. The word television, which once meant programs delivered by antennas through over-the-air signals, now means a television screen, where several different types of delivery systems bring viewers a diversity of programs. The programs Americans watch today are delivered by antennas, cables, and satellites, but they all appear on the same television screen, and as a viewer, you can't tell how the program arrived at your television set and probably don't care. What you do know is that television gives you access to all types of programs—drama, comedy, sports, news, game shows, and talk shows. You can see all types of people—murderers, public officials, foreign leaders, reporters, soldiers, entertainers, athletes, detectives and doctors. The television screen is truly, as scholar Erik Barnouw observed, "a tube of plenty." About 1,600 television stations operate in the United States. Three out of four of these are commercial stations, and the others are noncommercial stations. About half the commercial stations are affiliated with a network. What is something that television has been praised for? a. the decline in literacy b. for giving viewers instant access to world events and uniting audiences in times of national crisis c. rises in violent crime d. trivialization of national politics
