So, after my first baby arrived, I felt for years that I had the perfect job. I was
my own boss. I could work when I wanted and have a rest when I wanted. If I
didn't feel like cleaning or doing the shopping and wanted to have a day off,
that was fine. Nobody else would have to be asked to cover for me, my work
could wait until I was ready to do it. Oh yes, it was hard work taking care of our
home and our children and the hours were long, but the work was varied and
very rewarding. In fact, being a homemaker was the perfect job for me. I was
absolutely happy being a housewife and mum. Watching my children thrive,
witnessing their first steps, hearing their first words and all the other milestones
were worth more than any amount of money.

• was easier than combining full-time work and housework.
• prevented the family from having social life.
• made someone very happy

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY On 10 December 1948, the United Nations General

become a (1) ... standard for defending and promoting human rights. Every
year on 10 December, Human Rights Day marks the adoption of the Universal
Declaration which states that "Human beings are born with (2) ... rights and
fundamental freedoms". In 2006, Human Rights Day focused on (3) ... poverty
as a matter of obligation, not of charity. Poverty is (4) ... by human rights

people whose rights are (5) ... are more likely to be poor. Generally they find it
harder or impossible to participate in the labour market and have little or no
access to (6) ... services and resources. Meanwhile, the poor in many societies
cannot enjoy their rights to education, health and housing simply (7) ... they
cannot afford them. And poverty affects all human rights: for example, low
income can prevent people from accessing education, which in turn inhibits
their participation in public life and their ability to influence the policies affecting
them. Governments and those in a position of authority must (8) ...
responsibility for dealing with poverty. The realisation of human rights —
including the fight against poverty — is a duty, not a mere aspiration.

Every family needs a homemaker. Whether this is the mum or dad, or part-
time from both is irrelevant. In our family, we chose the traditional role for me to
stay at home, but some families choose the reverse, especially if the woman
has the better-paid job. We have actually experienced both since I had to work
full-time when my husband was made redundant and stayed at home for a
time. The days when the person staying at home to look after the house and
family was thought of as being "just a housewife" have long gone, especially
now that there is a role reversal and it is sometimes the man who stays home.
Nowadays there is a lot of pride in being the "homemaker". It is one of the most
worthwhile careers and the rewards, although not financial, are great. The
family benefits from quality time from one parent all the time.

The Irish Travellers are the largest minority in Ireland. There are about 25,000
Irish Travellers in Ireland and 1,300 in Northern Ireland. They are a little
understood nomadic community, who have many difficulties to overcome if they
are to survive as a culture and gain acceptance into Irish society. Among the
challenges facing them are poverty and racism. The Irish Travellers are a
distinct ethnic group which has existed for centuries. Often they are mistakenly
considered part of the nomadic Romani, an ethnic group which originated in
the region of India and is now widespread throughout Europe. But the Irish
Travellers are indigenous to Ireland, so the two cultures are not related. While
both are nomadic, the Irish Travellers are Roman Catholic and speak a
language that is theirs alone. They have their own culture, customs, traditions,
and language. They are noted for their musical and storytelling abilities. In
times past, they travelled by horse-drawn wagon in caravans, making camp
along the way. Tinsmithing, horse trading and peddling were the major sources
of income in those days. Tinsmiths were so prevalent among Irish Travellers
that the terms Tinker and Irish Traveller were used interchangeably. Today,
Tinker is one of many names for Irish Travellers. Horses and wagons have
given way to mobile homes pulled by motor vehicles. They continue their life on
the road, but there are fewer places to stop and fewer places where they are
welcome. Today, Irish Travellers mainly work in re¬cycling. Changing needs of
society and progress have eliminated the jobs that could support a culture on
wheels. Irish Travellers are poor, undereducated, and on the receiving end of
discrimination. Their life expectancy is lower than average while their infant
mortality rate is higher than average. As is the case with the Romani, the Irish
Travellers are seen by many as a group of immoral, ignorant criminals and con
artists. People distrust their nomadic culture and their language, Shelta. Many
think it's a secret language specifically developed as a tool to help the Irish
Travellers trick innocent people. But this is not true. It is an old language, which
has evolved with time and circumstances. Once heavily infused with Irish
Gaelic, it is now infused with English.
