The Funen Village

Wednesday we were at The Funen Village, where we had to do some tasks. 

Task 1: Visit Tommerup Præstegård, Katterød Hospital and Melbyhuset.

Where should one go to use a toilet back then?

In the more fine places, some people had a toilet in their bedrooms (Tommerup Præstegård). Other places they just had a bucket and some water, and some places they didn’t have a toilet at all.

What is the difference in the three houses facilities?

In Tommerup Præstegård there was a fine toilet in the bedroom. There was no sink, but the toilet was a good one. In the hospital they had a bucket with some water and in Melbyhuset they didn’t have any.    

Task 2: How many of the houses in the funen village have half timbering?

There are about 20 houses that have half timbering.

Task 3: The houses of the village do not have any water pipes.

How did they get water back then?

They got water from the underground, through pumps and wells.

Where would they get water if there were neither a pump nor a well?

They got the water from waterholes or streams.

Task 4: Visit the three mills: Maderup, Davende and Skamby Torup

It was used for corn production.

Politics in the social medias

What about politics? Is it ok to use social media to promote certain political ideas? 

It is a good idea to use social media etc. for politics, as long as you're not just using it to say rude things or tell lies about other political parties.
It is an easy way to get your word out, and promote your political beliefs. If people are really into politics, it's a nice way to get to know politicians opinions on different subjects, by following them on fx twitter or facebook.

For instance, Mitt Romney writes rude things about Obama under the election.

Posting pictures of others

Can you freely post pictures of others and others on e.g. Facebook?

You should ask people before you post pictures, videos etc. of them, but most people don't.
If you have a funny picture of your friend, you should ask yourself "Would my friend like to have this picture on the internet for the next 20 years?" and then ask your friend for permission before you post it, but what you really think is "This is funny, of course I'll publish it".

Would you, for instance, like to have this picture of yourself on the internet?
