==Age of responsibility==
The age at which children are considered responsible for their own [[actions]] has also changed over time, and this is reflected in the way they are treated in courts of [[law]]. In Roman times, children were regarded as not culpable for crimes. In the nineteenth century, children younger than seven years old were believed incapable of crime. Children from the age of seven were considered responsible for their actions. Therefore, they could face criminal charges, be sent to adult prison, and be punished like adults by whipping, branding or hanging.[4]

[[Women]] seem to have more [[intuition]] than [[men]], but they also appear to be somewhat less [[logical]]. Woman, however, has always been the [[moral]] [[standard]]-bearer and the [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of [[mankind]]. The hand that rocks the cradle still fraternizes with [[destiny]].[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper84.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper84.html&line=129#mfs]
