You seem to be looking for some information/explanation. I'll provide that.

The 1802 Health and Morals of Apprentices Act was the earliest reform act passed by the British government during the Industrial Revolution.  The Act set rules regarding the employment and housing of children by factory owners.

Background and detail:

It had been the practice of many factory owners to employ orphans and children from very poor families in their factories, calling them "apprentices."  They did not pay the children in wages. They could get by providing only lodging and food for them.  The conditions in factories for the children were harsh and awful.   Many children got sick and died.

Meanwhile, Robert Owen was pioneering new ideas for working together at the  New Lanark, Scotland, cotton mill that he managed.  Owen's was one of the pioneers of socialist theory.  He strongly favored better working conditions, and influenced Prime Minister Robert Peel to put the Health and Morals of Apprentices Act through Parliament in 1802.  The Act put into law the following rules for factories and child labor:

  • A maximum 12 hour working day for children
  • Mills were required to have sufficient windows for a flow of fresh air
  • Regular washing of walls and floors
  • Separate bedrooms for boys and girls
  • No more than two children per bed
  • Children needed to be given instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic
  • On Sundays, children were to have at least an hour of Christian teaching provided by a Church of England minister

valkas [14]

The Russian Revolution took place in 1917, during the final phase of World War I. It removed Russia from the war and brought about the transformation of the Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), replacing Russia’s traditional monarchy with the world’s first Communist state. The revolution happened in stages through two separate coups, one in February and one in October. The new government, led by Vladimir Lenin, would solidify its power only after three years of civil war, which ended in 1920.

Answer:

These oral historians called griots serve religious, familial, and societal roles.

Explanation:

Griot is the name given to storytellers, in some peoples of Africa. They have a special function that is to narrate the traditions and events of a people. The custom of sitting under trees or around fires to hear the stories and songs, lasts until today. The griots are also musicians and often the narratives are sung. The Mali Empire, under the command of Soundjata Keita, around the thirteenth century gives remarkable importance to these sages. The construction of oral history is a mark of the ancient African peoples and the griot plays a fundamental role in its structuring.
