Life In The 1900's
... and was uncomfortable. Only the rich could have the luxurious accomadations for those long journeys. Many jobs were available to most people but you were under constant scrutiny while working and would have to be willing to do any thing the boss wanted. I believe my friends and I would most likely resent and despise it if we had to live in the 1900's. During the 1900's horses played a significant role in the everyday life. A horse drawn carriage would bring a docter to the house of where a baby would be born. A hearse was pulled by horses to the cemetery when somebody died. Farmers used them to pull their plough ...

However, when we look at the “individual social mobility, it makes America a “rat race” country. Since America is known as a land of opportunity, which will lead into a “rat race” because people may want to accomplish or fulfil their goal. Everybody is trying to get the highest position in his or her job. Everybody is trying to make higher profit in his or her life. They will do anything to get into that “positio ...

History Of Music
... are parallel mirrors which reflect each other.
W.H. Auden best expressed this when he said, “A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.”
Tracing the course of musical development through history shows how closely music (of all the art forms) in particular represents the time in which it was written. The “immediacy” Auden speaks of is evidenced in music’s ability to associate itself with a specific point in time or event and always remind the listener of that time or place. It is impossible to analyse individual interpretation of music, however it ...

There is the music that parents don't mind their kids listening to, like ska. Ska has always been a fun expressive and non-violent type of music. "Happy circus music" is one name that I've heard it being called. It's the local bands that kids get together in small clubs to hang out and watch. It's usually a nice and friendly atmousfear. Everyone says hello to the person who's dancing next to them. It's a place where you can meet people and not get judged right off the bat. It's an easy going show that kids can go to and stay out of trouble. Many of the kids there are "sXe - straightedge" That means that ...

Generation Ecstacy
... finds two predominant, contrasting strains: the search for gnosis, or spiritual revelation, and the desire to get completely out of it at the weekend. Setting these timeless traits in the context of the up-to-the-minute technology that made rave emblematic of its era—the fragmentary, fast-forward aesthetic, the flexible production and distribution network, the avoidance of personality and narrative in favor of sensation—he comes up with a portrait of hi-tech millennium that resonates well beyond its subculture confines.
There are those who might find a book to analyze music that often aims for the effect of a ...

The History Of The Ku Klux Klan
... from the sorrow of everyday life.
In 1865, six men from a small town in Tennessee accidentally began what has
grown to be the largest and most feared "hate group" in the country. The
men decided to make a club to help release the stress of the times. The men
were all poor and could not afford to make gowns or great costumes for the
group, so they decided to use linens. They wore the linens over their backs
and put pillowcases on their heads. They also draped the linens over their
horses. The Ku Klux Klan was going to ride for the first time. In the
beginning, the men wanted to do nothing more than play pranks on pe ...

Alanis Morissette
... relies heavily on lists. “Thank U” is a list of reasons to be grateful. Alanis here expresses gratitude for insights and peace of mind gained from her stay in India but she admits there are still a few things she needs. “Are You Still Mad” is a languid rock beat track framing a list of reasons why a former boyfriend might be peeved. However I found this track to be childish and senseless, as its lyrics are not up to the standards of the rest of the album. She sings. “Are you still mad that I flirted wildly? Are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you? Are you still mad that I had one foot out ...

Martial Arts
... of its use of both the body and mind. Tai-Chi can’t be done correctly if the person is not relaxed and doesn’t know the movements being done very well. The basis of Tai-Chi Chuan derives from the idea of being constantly round when performing it. If you are attacked on a straight line and you resist on a straight line, the stronger force will win, but if the incoming force is neutralized by circularity, then it becomes easier to defeat your opponent, no matter how strong they might be. That’s what Tai-Chi is based on, but It takes years of practice to get any good at it and decades to master.
