..Bulling
Bulling does not just affect the victim, but it also affects everyone around them. Almost like a smoker causing a second hand smoking effect on by standers. The smoker being the bully and the chemicals from the cigarette, which harms everything around, being the effects of bullying after a long time. Just like how smoking cigarettes can have an affect, bullying can also have similar affect in the long run. That is exactly what bullying does, it completely change them as a person. It still has a negative affect on victims even after they have grown up and entered adult hood. Bullying causes a life long term effect that should be exposed rather than be hidden in obscurity.
When it comes to bullying, bullying comes in all shapes and sizes. For StopBullying.gov. there are three major types of bullying,which are verbal, physical, and social bullying. Yes, of course there are several more sub-forms of bullying, but the ones listed above are the most looked at. An example of a verbal and physical bullying, which are most commonly used to bully someone are the spreading of rumors, embarrassing them out in public, hitting, and simply just teasing. Parents see these forms of bullying as not a big deal and as a part of growing up. But what some people do not think of it as, is that all the taunting and abuse truly has a huge impact on people. Verbal abuse can hurt more than physical abuse, it may not seem like it, but it does. Of course all forms of bullying hurts. Yet, words hurt more simply because verbal abuse words stays in the mind of someone forever as to an actual physical abuse which leaves a bruise for a couple of days.
A “rite of passage” some may call what is known to others as bullying. Many people assume that bullying is just a stage and that it is just a part of growing up. Well, let me tell you this, that is completely incorrect. Over the years bullying has taken a complete drastic change. What many may have considered in the past a “rite of passage” is surely incorrect. “...bullying was deemed a rite of passage, that is not the case anymore says a Defense Department officer in the article “Days of Bullying as Rite of Passage Are Gone, Official Says”. Bullying may have first started as a this rite of passage but not anymore, not after many problems it has caused. Most parents think their bullied child is just going through a phase. Over the years bullying has got so bad that most victims of bullying are afraid to even attend school. According to DoSomething.org approximately 160,000 teens skip school each day, due to fear of being harassed.
Square Dancing
A square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square, with one couple on each side, facing the middle of the square. Square dances were first documented in 16th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe. They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there. In some countries and regions, through preservation and repetition, square dances have attained the status of a folk dance. The Western American square dance may be the most widely known form worldwide, possibly due to its association in the 20th century with the romanticized image of the American cowboy. Square dancing is, therefore, strongly associated with the United States. Nineteen U.S. states have designated it as their official state dance.
The various square dance movements are based on the steps and figures used in traditional folk dances and social dances from many countries. Some of these traditional dances include English Country Dance, Caledonians and the quadrille. Square dancing is enjoyed by people of all ages around the world, and people around the world are involved in the continuing development of this form of dance.
In most American forms of square dance, the dancers are prompted or cued through a sequence of steps (square dance choreography) by a caller to the beat (and, in some traditions, the phrasing) of music. In some forms of traditional square dancing, the caller may be one of the dancers or musicians, but in modern Western square dancing the caller will be on stage, giving full attention to directing the dancers. Modern Western square dances are not learned as complete routines; the dancers learn basic movements, each with its own distinctive call, but do not know in what order they will be called.
