Reconstuction
... of years, they were suddenly free….. or were they? True, they no longer belonged to someone else …… well at least not technically. They would be able to earn their own money now….. or would they? At least they would be given equality …. Wouldn’t they? The answer to these questions is simply no.
The "reconstruction", the "new beginning", may all have been true. It was a "new beginning" wasn’t it? Yes, it was, but was it a good one? The answer to that question is no.
A large cause for the civil war was to free the African-American slaves, to allow them to have equal rights to the white race. But after th ...

Spanish Traditional Dances
... The first feria of the year is held in Seville during April and is certainly one of the largest, but in each small town in Andalusia rides itself on its own week long festivity. Young couples have the opportunity to dance, and the older people and children are there just to have fun. The whole family goes out together to enjoy the festivities, often until very late into the night.
It is danced by series of four, each with a different dance, with a short interval between one and another. The most important movements are the walks and the end because the singing, the music and the dance stop together and the da ...

Witches
... in 1648. Jones was a midwife and lay healer, who was accused of several
different practices. Minister John Hale, who witnessed Jones's hanging in Boston
when he was a boy, later said that she "was suspected partly because that after
some angry words passing between her and her Neighbors, some mischief befell
such neighbors in their Creatures, or the like: [and] partly because some things
supposed to be bewitched, or have a Charm upon them, being burned, she came to
the fire and seemed concerned." (P.20) Hale included neither of these charges in
his list of the evidence presented against Jones, but suggested that th ...

The PRogression Of Violence In MUsic
... concerned about how music might affect individuals and society as a whole; however, we can observe past trends, seen in 1969, to help determine the progression of violence generated from the music industry. In retrospect, 1969 was a year that possibly initiated the concept of using music to corrupt social values and employed music as a motive for violence. These trends, established in the late 1960s have heightened in severity and are partially responsible for today's violence in music.
It is apparent that music has the power of influence, for the act of listening indirectly takes the listener away from other act ...

Truth Or Fiction: The J.F.K. Assassination
... had betrayed the American people.
Some of the most significant facts that hint the assassination was a
conspiracy by the government come from the hospitals where Kennedy was examined
immediately after the assassination. Dr. Charles Crenshaw, MD, who was in the
emergency room at Parkland Hospital before and during the Presidents death,
claims that the wound in Kennedys neck was much to small to be an exit wound,

reveal a much larger neck wound than had been seen at Parkland. Apparently
someone had mangled the wound to make it ap ...

Dancing And Ballet
... is not as important as their ability to interpret the dance to the audience.
All types of dancing require practice and technique, but probably none require as much as ballet. Ballet dancers seem to ignore the law of gravity as they float through the air in long, slow leaps. They keep perfect balance while they spin, and at times, their feet move so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow the movements. Women often dance on their toes while men lift them up like they were as light as feathers.
Ballet dancers take joy in controlling their bodies, but they can only perform difficult steps after many years of training ...
