Parkour In College

When watching a movie about high schoolers, there are usually many different groups of students who all conform to one social group only. Take the movie High School Musical for example. There is specifically one scene devoted to a song about fitting in with the “status quo”. There are stereotypical groups such as jocks, nerds, theater geeks, skater kids, and the popular kids in this movie and in other movies like it. Each of these groups can be broken down and explained more in depth.

Students in High School are being pressured every day for publicity. High school is usually a place where someone can find themself, a friend group they feel comfortable in. High school students encounter many different situations that may lead them into a series of downfalls through high school. Being in this facility, students are often categorized in groups based on their personalities, what they wear, and their social connections. In The Breakfast Club there are five students categorized into stereotypical groups in high school.Those groups are the popular students, the nerds, and the emo students. Sooner than later, these five students figure they all have something in common with each other; high school, and the pressure of their parents has molded them into the people they never wanted to become. Despite the differences between the students in The Breakfast Club, they share similarities that divides them into different groups throughout high school.

The samurai were a powerful warrior class in Japan, and were very skilled with a sword. Samurai used swords and were trained very well to do many things such as fire a bow while on horseback. The samurai practiced Buddhism, which is a religion that taught people to respect the world to reach enlightenment. When the samurai disobeyed The Bushido Code, they committed Seppuku, which is ritual suicide for the samurai. Japanese culture was influenced by the samurai warrior class.

Ninja’s were one of the scariest fighting forces to encounter because of their stealth. According to author Kallie Szczepanski, the proper name for a ninja is shinobi, a devastating fighting personnel that targets the heart of a defense. When the heart stops so does everything else. The ninja specialized in assassinations primarily around the eastern China region along with Japan where they originated from. The ninja used stealth and poison to dismantle their opponents in a blink of an eye. According to author Jeffrey Hays, ninjas preferred to escape rather to fight. Ninjas would throw smoke bombs, shoot fire arrows, or hide in water to evade and escape confrontation. They were masters of stealth learning to lower their weight when walking to achieve less noise. Ninjas also employed silent secret codes to communicate with each other and also wore dark navy blue to gain the best camouflage at night. Many people assume ninjas wore jet black robes but actually the dark navy blue produced less of a glare than jet back in moonlight. The ninja were feared because of their skills and their employment as assassins. Samurai used ninjas to perform dirty

Samurais were warriors who were well trained and fought for japan. The title “samurais” were given to armed clan leaders in the north. The term “samurai” means “to serve”. The samurai answer to the daimyos. If the samurai disobey their master in any sort of ways, they would disgrace himself and his family. Samurai were trained at a very young age. At 14 they would already be a samurai, but before they became a samurai they had t learn how to ride a horse and other things as well. Their warfare's were filled with all kind of weapons like, the sword, The longbow, and the japanese spear. Armors were also part of samurai warfares. Samurai’s fighting were an important part in the history of their warfare.

The Samurai live to honor their family and Japan, if these Japanese warriors dishonor their family or their country they would have to commit Seppuku, suicide caused by great dishonorment. The samurai also had very dangerous and powerful weapons. These weapons were so powerful they could slice through three bodies at a time. Samurai are interesting because of their ritual suicide based on their belief system and weaponry.

Throughout History, there have been many different groups or events that are still widely known today. Groups of people such as the Indians or Vikings are popular groups which are referenced constantly in today’s society. However, none of these groups is more known or referenced than the Japanese Samurai. Originating in 646 AD, these Japanese warriors developed from a loose organization of farmers to the dominant social class in Feudal Japan. Along with their dominant military and political standing, the samurai brought with them a unique code or moral belief that became the core of Samurai culture. Because of this, the Samurai and their principles still affect modern day Japanese society with social customs today

In the years that running has been part of my life, I have had some and unique memories. Just as importantly, I’ve been able to witness dramatic change within the sport in so many areas. Besides the obvious improvements in training, it seems as if practically everything I knew as a high school freshman, has been either replaced by a positive upgrade or deleted altogether from the running scene. Back in high school while doing workouts on extremely hot days, we were offered salt pills which were designed to replace the salt we were losing in our sweat while working out. Thankfully, it wasn’t too many years later that scientific research determined that consuming salt during our workouts, may well have been the absolute worst thing we could

Can you imagine getting hurt for something you could have prevented? When thinking about sports not all of them are alike. There are indoor and outdoor sports. When trying to compare and contrast sports think about the specifics because there is different topics to compare. The topics need to have a bunch of information to be able to write a excellent paper. Gymnastics and four wheeler riding has a really wide range. Somehow there is subtopics in common. Clothing,equipment,rules, and gear are a significant part in gymnastics and four wheeler riding.

A ninja or what they call them in feudal Japan “Shinobi” was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The ways of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare. Their methods of waging warfare were very bad and beneath the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat. For a century or more the mix of Chinese and Native tactics created a school for ninjas. It was first formulized by Daisuke Togakure and Kain Doshi around the 12th century. Daisuke was a samurai but failed regional battle and forced to end his samurai title. In 1162 Daisuke met Kain Doshi and together they organized the first ninja school.

Even though everyone knows their name, how much do we know really know about ninjas? Sure, we see ninjas on movies and in our books, but what part of the ninja history do we have no idea about. This research paper will explain most of the history behind the ninja.

For four long years I felt as if my high school was in a different world in of itself. I had spent that time interacting with an extensive amount of groups, or “cliques”, and getting to know what they do. Through my experiences, I had begun to realize what made this “subculture” high school of sorts run like it did. High school is an incredibly dynamic time for people, and I had changed as a person dramatically from my freshman to senior year. Like many, my freshman year was quite awkward, as remnants of my middle school self remained with me. As time went on, how, I talked to more people and grew out of my passive and shy personality. This did not just randomly happen without reason though. I began to learn and realize who I was and whom I enjoyed talking to in school, which explained why I spent so much time socializing with multiple kinds and groups of people. Everyone’s concept of “normal” was different, and high school was where I learned that lesson and will never forget.

Early adolescence is marked by rapid physical changes, maturation of the reproductive system, appearance of secondary sex characteristics, romantic and sexual relationships, and sensitivity to peer relations (Newman & Newman, 2012, p.336). The psychosocial crisis at this stage is group identity versus alienation. Hence, adolescents are faced with the challenge of finding membership in and value convergence with a peer group while avoiding alienation, a sense of social estrangement or an absence of social support or meaningful social connection (Newman & Neman, 2012,pp.371-375). Thus, these years are crucial as one is trying to feel comfortable within a group that can provide a sense of belonging while striking a balance at allowing for the

In today’s society, ninjas have evolved into turtles or movie extras. Both are very poor representations of what a ninja truly was in Japan in the ages past. Ninjas were not reptiles or someone to trifle with either. These highly trained assassins have a back story shrouded in mystery, warlords squabbling to gain their favor, training and operations of a dark nature.

According to (Ninja Shinobi- Secret Assassins) “ The word ‘ninja’ or its alternative reading ‘shinobi’ crops up again and again in historical accounts in the context of secret intelligence-gathering or assassinations carried out by martial arts experts.” Many opportune deaths were believed to be caused by ninjas, but they were so secret no one knows. Quoting (Ninja Shinobi- Secret Assassins) “The ways of the ninja were therefore an unavoidable part of samurai warfare, and no samurai could ignore the secret threat they posed, which could ruin all his carefully laid plans.” The Ninja were used for many task, and they were feared.
