In the UK the agricultural society was a more primitive time in the UK. Sport was hardly ever organised and was usually carried out only at fairs and fates as people were too tired from the hard work on the land to take part in recreational sport. At this time, mob football was the name given to some varieties of medieval football, which emerged in Europe during the middle ages. However, mob football distinguished itself from other codes by typically having an unlimited number of players and very few rules; it was known as a blood sport as it tended to be very violent. Any actions could have been taken by each team’s players to get the ball into the goal, as long as it did not lead to manslaughter or murder, but it is known that in some cases

Football, ever since it began, has had the constant question of should it be banned. Footballs origins began back in ancient Greece where even then it was known as a very rough and brutal game. When football came to England it was thought to be so rough that kings Henry II and Henry IV both actually banned it. A lot has changed since those times in history. We now have equipment for the game and every year the equipment keeps evolving into a more safety conscious design for the player. Rules for the game also keep changing throughout the years with the player’s safety in mind as well. Because of these changes, it has

Shoe fetishism is a term with a long and complex history, encompassing religious, anthropological, economic, and erotic meanings. Missionary tracts with titles such as Fetishism and Fetish Worshippers denounced the "barbarous" religions of "primitive" people who worshiped "idols of logs or clay." The term fetish was then extended to refer not only to objects allegedly possessing magic powers, but also to everything that was irrationally worshiped. Karl Marx famously coined the term "commodity fetishism" to describe the way objects produced through human labour acquired an exaggerated exchange value. Sexologists and psychiatrists traditionally described fetishism as a sexual "perversion." Today, fetishism is usually characterized as a type of

Seventeenth-century women were by far the most persnickety people in history ever about their shoes. I say this on account that there are records of women back then binding their feet because small and dainty feet were the most desirable size. Then, in 1660 women decided they didn’t want the same variety of shoe as the men did. So a trend had started with the now preferred designs of a pointed toe, hooked upward toe, or sometimes both. These shoes were also covered in extravagant ornaments and soft luscious fabrics. Although, for home events, women wore topless shoes inside, but before going out in these shoes they put on an over shoe. The overshoe is meant to protect the other shoe from the forces of nature. To sum up, the seventeenth century

The movie is inaccurate in a way that is portrays soldiers having to leave their jobs, when they really did have jobs they had to leave. The movie is accurate in most scenes. Its accuracy proves to be correct in the scenes that women had to step in as nurses and help the wounded, soldiers leaving their loved ones, the horrible conditions that the soldiers had to fight through, and when groups of stable soldiers went to the field’s aftermath to rescue wounded soldiers and their loved ones. Overall, the movie is consistently accurate all the way through to show how the Civil War impacted the American lifestyle.
