occupy wall street
dans le haut, ni trop dans le bas, sinon, elle risque de s’effondrer. Dans le cas d’Occupy Wall Street, il y a plus de gens de la classe moyenne et pauvre que de gens de la classe riche. Ce qui ne devrait pas être ainsi. À bien considérer les choses, on peut en dire autant de l’organisation démocratique de la société. Cela peut d’abord sembler paradoxal.

Consequently, the thick walls of Romanesque architecture could be largely replaced by thinner walls with glass windows,and the interiors could reach unprecedented heights. A revolution in building techniques thus occurred. With the Gothic vault, a ground plan could take on a variety of shapes. The general plan of the cathedrals, however, consisting of a long three-aisled nave interceptedby a transept and followed by a shorter choir and sanctuary,...
