Running of the Bulls

In the summer of 2006 I was inspired to do something that inherently would never have even crossed my mind. I was born and bred to be risk averse. My parents, the resolute material providers that they are, taught me not to fend for myself, but rather to avoid confrontation altogether. Their eastern culture centric and old-fashioned way of child rearing has had a profound effect on the way I lived my life. However, their penchant for negative reinforcement and their inability to show physical affection

In today’s society what we consider to be “bad dogs” are stereotypical remarks placed on the stocky muscular dogs such as pit bulls and bull dogs. Many people place those dogs with fighting and chains as collars, but those aren’t the dogs fault. It’s their owners fault. It is the owners that make the dogs cruel hearted. The owners of the dog will shape how the dog behaves, eats, sleeps, and interacts with other dogs. As a dog owner myself, of a red nose pitbull, it breaks my heart to see these

The mental game; every athlete must play the mental game and it’s especially prevalent within the world of bull riding or motorcycle racing. When I ponder my days of riding bulls (for a short period) and now racing motorcycles, the one key emotion that sticks out like a broken bone from an arm after a bad crash is most certainly fear. With these two sports, fear is the prevailing emotion that the athletes feed off of and at times, attempt to suppress and control. It’s key to understand why fear

Veronica sees a couple of humongous bulls uninterruptedly coming towards her. Running right and left, not once backing off to regain some breath she lost the bulls. "Phew, I ought to make tracks in an opposite direction from here," she thought. After the second of relief, veronica sees a crocodile strolling like a creature in front of her. "Gracious

The Physics of Riding Bulls Rodeo is a sport that came about by everyday work being made into competition. Every event in rodeo has a practical purpose; all but one that is. There is no practical reason to get on a bull; only the thrills, chills, and rush of excitement. It¡¦s more than a challenge between riders. It¡¦s a challenge between man and beast. Legendary cowboy Larry Mahan had an even different way of looking at it. He said, ¡§It¡¦s not a challenge with the animal but with the

The Drink Is Not The Point… …this is my concise evaluation of the Red Bull brand summed up in one line. However, what follows is a slightly more in-depth analysis of how, in just 17 years, this has come to be the case. Of how Red Bull has come to be asked for by name in every pub/bar/club worldwide. Of how a-list celebrities are photographed drinking Red Bull in those pubs/bars/clubs worldwide. Of how Red Bull has acquired most of the top athletes in most of the extreme sports as well as from numerous

Some people think of animals as food and argue that we need meat to survive. Some people think of them as pets that we should cherish. Others think of them with indifference and believe they should only live in the wild, but what about the people who think we should use them as a sport? What does all this say about us all? Are we right? Dog fighting leaves many dogs being taunted and staved to encourage aggressive instincts. Dogs are forced to tread water in pools for a long time, they are also

This commercial is a spin of the Spanish Running of the Bulls practice with a comedic twist: squirrels are used in place of the bulls for the run. Although the commercial is targeted for an American audience, the convergence hypothesis allows for Americans to recognize a practice by a culture across the Atlantic Ocean on another continent immediately and understand the comedic nature of it. This selection was placed at 50% global because the Running of the Bulls is a popular event known around the world

The Rodeo Horses running, bulls bucking, and flame throwing are all thing that you could see at a rodeo. When I was in the fifth grade I went to a rodeo with my girl scout troup . We saved up for almost a whole year. We sold cookies, earned money, and waited for the exciting weekend trip to A.J Ranch. A.j Ranch is a beautiful place it has horses, stables, a rodeo arena, campsite and much more. We stayed in a little cabin, in the woods on their property. It was really small, there were four bunk
