Introduction:
An object often follows the subject and verb in a sentence. By definition, an object is a
noun or pronoun that gives meaning to the subject and the verb in a sentence. There
are two types of objects: direct and indirect.
But before we start talking about direct and indirect objects we need to speak first of
the verbs and in specific of the transitive and intransitive to get to the subject in the
background.
Action Verbs
1. Concept:
An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. The action verb
tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally.
In this sentence, the verb bring is transitive; its object is coffee, the thing that is
being brought. Without an object of some kind, this verb cannot function.
Bring what, or who? The question begs itself because the meaning of bring
demands it. Here are some more examples of transitive verbs and their objects.
Examples:
Each of the verbs in these sentences have objects that complete the verbs’
actions. If the objects were taken out, the results would be illogical and questions
would be raised in the mind of the reader; for example, Lila conveyed. Conveyed
what?
How to Identify an Intransitive Verb:
An intransitive verb is the opposite of a transitive verb: it does not require an
object to act upon.
Examples:
They jumped.
The dog ran.
She sang.
A light was shining.
None of these verbs require an object for the sentence to make sense, and all of
them can end a sentence. Some imperative forms of verbs can even make
comprehensible one-word sentences.
Examples:
Run!
Sing!
A number of English verbs can only be intransitive; that is, they will never make
sense paired with an object. Two examples of intransitive-only verbs are arriving
and die. You can’t arrive something, and you certainly can’t die something; it is
impossible for an object to follow these verbs.
Direct objects:
Direct objects are nouns, pronouns, clauses and phrases. Direct objects follow
transitive verbs (action verbs that require something or someone to receive the
action). You can identify the direct object by using this simple formula: subject
+ verb + who? or what? = DIRECT OBJECT. Try using this formula to determine
the direct object as you consider the following example:
The subject is “Dennis and Susan,” and the verb is “ate.” Next ask yourself the
question “who or what?” about the verb “ate.” What did the subject, Dennis
and Susan, eat? They ate omelets. Therefore, the direct object is “omelets.”
Example 2: Sophia hates when her father lectures her about her
grades.
The subject is “Sophia,” and the verb is “hates.” Next ask yourself the question
“who or what?” about the verb “hates.” What does the subject, Sophia, hate?
She hates “when her father lectures her about her grades.” This subordinate
clause (a combination of words that contain a subject and a verb, but do not
form a complete sentence) is the direct object of the sentence.
“Chauffeur” is the subject, and “locked” is the action verb. What did the
chauffeur lock? Answer: his keys, the direct object.
“Chauffeur” is the subject and “was” is the linking verb. The chauffeur was
what? Answer: happy, the subject complement.
“She” is the subject, “kisses” is the action verb and “me” is the direct object.
Indirect objects
Indirect objects are nouns or pronouns that identify to whom or for whom the
action of the verb is performed, as well as who is receiving the direct object.
Indirect objects are seen infrequently. In order to have an indirect object, there
is a direct object. The indirect object typically precedes the direct object and is
identified by asking who or what received the direct object. Consider the
following examples:
Example 1: Samuel sent his aunt a postcard from Martha’s Vineyard.
“Samuel” is the subject, and “sent” is the verb. Ask the question “sent what?”
“A postcard” is the direct object. To determine the indirect object, ask who
received the direct object. “His aunt” is the indirect object.
Example 2: Alex gave me his algebra notes.
“Alex” is the subject, and “gave” is the verb. Ask the question “gave what?”
“Algebra notes” is the direct object. To determine the indirect object, ask for
whom did the subject do the action? “Me” is the indirect object, and it came
before the direct object in this sentence.
Washington took the oath of office as the first president under the
Constitution of the United States.
Subject: Washington.
Verb: took.
Direct Object: the oath of office as the first president.
Indirect Object: under the Constitution of the United States.
B. The Reformation:
Protestant Reformation: The Protestant Religious Reformation originated in
Germany, in the year 1517, when Martin Luther published the "95 theses"
against the sale of indulgences, at the door of the church in Wittenberg. Martin
Luther started from the need for an interior religion, based on the communion
of the soul, humble and receptive to God.
At first, the Catholic Church did not give much importance to the ideas of
Luther.
Subject: The Catholic Church.
Verb: give.
Direct Object: much importance to the ideas.
Indirect Object: Luther.
The public life of Jesus begins, according to all the Gospels, with his
baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River
Subject: The public life of Jesus.
Verb: begins.
Direct Object: his baptism.
Indirect Object: Jesus.
The war in Europe ended with the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops.
Subject: The war in Europe.
Verb: ended.
Direct Object: capture of Berlin.
Indirect Object: Soviet troops.

Because we cannot forget that at the root of violence are economic inequalities and
poverty, the blockade of development possibilities, authoritarian governments,
discrimination based on sex, culture or skin color, etc. ... and that the solution of these
social and economic problems at all scales is a priority so that violence can be eliminated
and peace can be built.
And it is about governments becoming aware of this culture of peace and the factors
and conditions that would facilitate it, such as elimination of situations of injustice, more
equitable distribution of wealth, elimination of poverty, right to education in equal
conditions, etc. And on the other hand, that convert this consciousness into a new
culture of administering power.
Complexity:
The violence and its last exponent, the war is usually justified in the name of the
possession of the truth and for it tends to simplify or ponder the variables that explain
the reality. Reality is complex and the construction of this culture of peace has to be
done more and more in a complex world that has been built in parallel to progress. A
world in which more and more elements and factors interact in an interrelated way that
must be analyzed for their understanding. That is why the awareness of the need for
this culture of peace is only possible if this complexity is accepted and understood. The
complex nature of our society is irreversible and we cannot renounce that complexity
that is growing. You cannot understand or not want to understand and ignore it but it
does not disappear. Often the denial of this complexity (in diversity, interrelation,
multicausality, interdependence) is used as an argument for xenophobic, intolerant
attitudes. They are violent attitudes of defense and fear whose origin is ignorance and
the simplification of social dynamics and whose effects will have a great impact on the
progress of the country or the planet. Education for peace must promote the acceptance
and understanding of this complexity and must contribute to it through its methods:
dialogue, respect and cooperation.
The other tendency revolves around the idea that changing political, economic and
social structures is enough for there to be peace. This is true, and it would be necessary,
but as mentioned above, the structures respond to a model of society and development
and this to a conception and a scale of values that presides over it. Therefore, it is
essential to generate a social conscience and a change in the values so that it can
influence the eradication of the structural and conjunctural factors that generate
violence and thus build a culture of peace. In any case, it is clear that if we manage to
change the structures to democratic and socially equitable forms, we will have already
taken important steps towards the culture of peace. The road is a mixed process of
creation of individual and social conscience, together with the changes of social,
economic, political and cultural structures to advance in the construction of the culture
of peace.
All human beings are individuals and citizens of the society to which they belong.
Therefore, human rights and citizens' rights are interdependent.
Men, women and children all come into the world as individual human beings. Thanks
to the immense historical conquest of human rights, we are equal, in rights and dignity,
with all other human beings. When citizenship education has the purpose of "educating
future citizens" it must necessarily address children, youth and adults, who are living
beings, who have the status of human beings endowed with conscience and reason.
Therefore, it cannot exclude the consideration of individuals as subjects, each with
individual characteristics. In addition, human rights include civil and political rights, the
latter obviously related to the rights and obligations of citizens. Therefore, a
comprehensive education in human rights takes into account citizenship and considers
that good citizenship is connected to human rights as a whole. On the contrary,
education for citizenship that trains the "good" citizens, that is. Citizens aware of the
human and political issues at stake in their society or nation, require each citizen ethical
and moral qualities. All forms of citizenship education inculcate (or intend to inculcate)
respect for others and recognition of the equality of all human beings; and in the fight
against all forms of discrimination (racist, gender-based, religious, etc.) fostering a spirit
of tolerance and peace among human beings. Therefore, when we talk about the
purposes of ascribing ourselves to citizen education (producing citizens with moral
qualities) or human rights education (which includes knowledge of the social and
political rights of all human beings and their recognition) we inevitably end up with the
complementarity between citizenship and human rights.
Depending on the cultural traditions of each educational system, we will have, in some
cases, civic education, which will include knowledge of human rights and its exercise,
and in others, human rights education, emphasizing civil and political rights as the basis
of citizenship, and hence the national characteristics assumed by these rights and
guaranteed by the states.
Bearing in mind this complementarity, citizen education means not only "educating
citizens" but also "training children for adult life and citizenship".
Education for citizenship has, therefore, three main objectives:
Educate people in citizenship and human rights through an understanding of the
principles and institutions [that govern a state or nation]
Learn to exercise one's judgment and critical faculty
Acquiring a sense of individual and community responsibilities.
These three objectives correspond both to the education of the individual as a matter
of ethics and law, as well as to the education of citizens. These objectives suggest four
main themes for citizenship education:
The relationships between individuals and society: individual and collective
freedoms, and the rejection of any type of discrimination.
Relations between citizens and government: what is involved in democracy and
state organization.
The relations between the citizen and the democratic life.
The responsibility of the individual and the citizen in the international
community.

2. Meaning:
The lyrics talk about making a better world, that there is no poverty and taking
care of ourselves Jackson himself said he wrote it in a tree at his Neverland Ranch,
this piece being one of the most successful songs of his career. He was inspired by
the name of the song to create the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable aid
foundation for homeless children.
3. Lyrics:
There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place you’ll feel
There’s no hurt or sorrow
Heal the world make it a better place for you and for me
And the entire human race there are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

Appendices
1. Draw two lines under each verb. Circle each direct object.
2. Circle each direct object. Drawn one line under each indirect object.
Conclusions:
You know what to name verbs that allow direct objects (transitive verbs) and
verbs that don’t (intransitive verbs). That’s the first step towards noticing subtle
differences in meaning between pronominal and non-pronominal verbs.
You now have a strategy for finding the indirect object (look for the direct object
first) and for dealing with the indirect object pronouns (le, les, me, te, se, nos,
os): be nice and add them whenever you can (even if they seem redundant).
You know where to put and how to combine multiple object pronouns (and how
to not get fooled by a le, les in disguise).
Recommendations:
• It is recommended to learn and read new words to enrich the lexicon and thus be able
to use the progressive present in a more versatile way.
• Bear in mind that there are grammatical issues where the conjugations of the present
tense are used but do not necessarily express the same, as for example in future tense
(going to).
