2. Why did Henry VIII marry so many women ?
Henry VII first married Catherine of Aragon, but they get divorced because he fall in love with another lady, Anne Boleyn who was executed in the Tower of London because she couldn't give Henry a male son. Then he married Jane Saymour. Unfortunately, she died just two weeks after her son was born. So Henry decided to get married again. Anne of Cleves was the next, but they got divorced the same year they got married. Sixteen days after he was free of Anne, Henry took his fifth wife, Kathryn Howard. She was executed, accused of infidelity. Finally, he married Katherin Parr, who ended windowing from Henry VII.

SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITE
A social networking service (also social networking site or SNS) is a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who share interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his or her social links, and a variety of additional services. Social network sites are web-based services that allow individuals to create a public profile, to create a list of users with whom to share connections, and view and cross the connections within the system. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Social network sites are varied and they incorporate new information and communication tools such as mobile connectivity, photo/video/sharing and blogging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, interests with people in their network.
