(1820-1910), an English nurse and social activist, founder of the modern system of care. She was born May 12, 1820 in Florence in a wealthy family. In England, her father had two estates, where he spent his childhood, Florence; where she received a good education. From 1837 to 1839 traveled with his parents to Europe. Seeing how many people suffer from diseases, Florence became interested in the problems of caring for the sick, visited the hospital. Winter 1847-1848 she held in Rome, and in 1849 he traveled to Italy, Greece and Egypt. On the way back visited the Institute of deaconesses in Kaiserswerth (Germany). In England, she returned with a determination to become a nurse. The following year Florence spent three months at the school sisters of mercy in Kaiserswerth. Two weeks studied in Paris, but illness forced her to interrupt classes. Formal training Florence Nightingale limited to these three and a half months. In 1853 she became the head of a small private hospital in Harley Street, London. When the Crimean War, the War Minister S.Herbert Nightingale asked to go to the front and to establish service care for the wounded in field hospitals. In October 1854, Florence, along with 38 assistants, among whom were nuns and professional nurses as Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, went to the first field hospitals at Scutari (Turkey), and then to the Crimea. Here she consistently implement the principles of sanitation and nursing care for the wounded. As a result, less than six months in the hospitals mortality fell from 42 to 2.2%. On his return to England in 1856 Nightingale immediately set about reorganizing the army medical service. In 1857, the government has allocated funds for the organization commission of the necessary reforms. In 1859 the Minister of War once again became Herbert, and use it to Nightingale has ensured that hospitals were equipped with ventilation and sanitation; hospital staff are required to attend the necessary training; hospitals were strict statistical processing of all information; was organized by the medical school; conducted awareness of the importance of disease prevention. Working as a nurse, Florence Nightingale gained vast experience, which she shared in books Remarks about the factors that affect the health, efficiency and management of hospitals of the British Army (Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, Efficiency and Hospital Administration of the British Army, 1857) and How to care for the sick (Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not, 1860). In recognition F.Naytingeyl during the war, for it was collected by subscription large sum of money. All these funds had been spent on the organization in 1860 the world's first school of the Sisters of Charity Hospital of St. Thomas in London. Soon graduates of this school have started to create similar institutions in other hospitals. With their participation was organized system of skilled care at home. Until 1872 Florence Nightingale was an expert of the British army on medical care of sick and wounded. In 1883, Nightingale was the British "Royal Red Cross", and in 1907 became the first woman who was awarded the Order "For Merit". In 1908 she was granted honorary citizenship of the City of London.Nightingale died in London on August 13, 1910.

For me, success is to create a good family. Indeed, in our time, not everyone gets it set up. Good to know that there are native people who love you, what you were not. And always ready to support. Such people - parents, children, siblings and grandparents.
I was more interested in the question: why do some people unhappy at home? Why break up marriages? Why do adult children forget their parents or, conversely, bad parents treat their kids? We see many examples of this around. There is even a social term "dysfunctional family." And why, even in affluent families with mean people often quarrel?
Some people even say tortured relatives, nothing can be done differently. And it is not necessary to marry or marry.
In search of an answer, I opened the encyclopedia to find out what the definition given by the family in society. Family - based on marriage or kinship small group, whose members are linked by common life, mutual aid, moral and legal responsibility. Anything more you can not read. The family should be mutual. And is not that one person helps everyone, and others on it "carry water." If there is mutual, so there is no family at all, even if people are relatives.
But if you have a family, what should it be? Of course, the best family - father, mother, children and grandparents. Probably not in vain in Russia believe it is a perfect happy family. Father - head of the family, his mother - the keeper of the family hearth and grandparents do not miss one, the children have with whom to communicate.
But if such a family for some reason did not work, it can not be considered defective some other. For example, a mother and child. Or grandparents and their grandchildren. Or a single parent with children. Or just husband and wife. In this family, although it is considered an incomplete society may be more love than the traditional one.
Most importantly, it is not necessary to lock in your family. Man lives not only there, but in the big world and the larger society. If someone thinks that he will be "good" only for the family, and more - no friends, and all the enemies, then soon and the family had to start some trouble.
Why a man can be difficult in the family? I found the answer. Because people are selfish. They are sometimes considered close their property. They require native submission, ongoing support, oblivious to the fact that in this family all put equal parts love and understanding.
