All woman out there if you want to protect yourself and not rely on a man then you should become a samurai but if you want protection and respect then marry a knight. During the Middle Ages in Feudal Japan and in Europe samurai and knights were two of the bravest warriors. It is important to compare these two because you can see who is more respectful or more powerful. Samurai were sent to defeat barbarians in Northern Honshu. Samurai worked for landowners and offered them protection and loyalty in exchange for land and rights. Knights lived in their lord's castle because they protected their lord. They lived in the lower floor of the castle with other knights because there was enough space there. In this essay I will compare the views on women of samurai and knights, the views on education of both warriors, and their code of conduct.…

Kickball is a sport that contains elements of baseball, softball and soccer. Kickball rules are made to offer a fun game that is played in a safe environment. Competitive kickball rules and regulations are governed by the World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA), which is based in the United States. It was invented in the United States around 1942. Kickball is currently a playground and recreational game primarily played in North America. It is also a favorite game of youth in South Korea. The goal is to score runs/points by running around and touching all four bases in order without getting out.…
I will chose two teams and split them evenly. The rules for kickball are closely related to those of baseball. The main difference is that kickball involves a big rubber ball. The ball is about the size of a basketball. Kickball is played on a field with 4 bases arranged on the corners of a diamond-shaped "infield". Player positions are also similar to those of baseball. There is an "infield" and an "outfield." The infield contains the positions that involve the bases, while the outfield is mainly designated to catching or retrieving the ball when it is kicked out of the infield. Actual playing positions vary depending on the number of kids that are actually playing. If there are only a few children playing, the positions are usually spread out, but if there are a good number of players, kids will position themselves wherever there is space.…
Who doesn’t get excited watching Super Bowl or FIFA World Cup? The anticipation of “who’s going to win?” is always the golden question. The commercials and entertainment running during the Super Bowl makes it a yearly social event even for non football fans. In the same way soccer fans wait anxiously every four years to watch FIFA World Cup. The popularity of these two sports, soccer and American Football, is all over the world. The growing excitement fans feel is mutual but these two sports are far from being similar. They are individually different in sport histories, equipments, and in competing for different championship.…
In 1968 Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley wrote “The Boxer”, a modern rock ballad. This narrative poetry tells the story of a young man struggling financially to make ends meet in a down economy. Like all narrative poetry, it tells a story of true life emotions that people can relate to. At the time, the economy in the United States of America was weak and thus many Americans were struggling financially. During this economic crisis, this ballad was popularized by the famous Simon and Garfunkel musical duo. While the rhythm of the poem is thought to be irregular and repetitive, the emotion it portrays is why it has become a classic ballad of its time.…
There are many other differences between these sports. For example, in football, the game is a series of plays of short bursts of action; after each play both teams then regroup to prepare for the next play. The difference in Rugby is that the action stops for shorter periods of time, this is because after a player is tackled, the ball is quickly rolled to a teammate, and play resumes. Lastly, Rugby is a more international sport, whereas football is played mostly in the continent of North…
American football and soccer are two popular sports. Soccer is considered to be the most popular sport in the world and American football is known as America's favorite sport. Soccer is actually called "football" or "futbol" in other areas of the world. While both sports are somewhat alike, they have major differences that make them so unique and enjoyable for their beloved fans.…
Actions like bone-crushing hits, beating each other and bashing players are often seen in American football. Soccer, in contrast, is not ignorant like the American Football. Soccer players require intelligence, fit body as football requires, but the soccer is play by the passing plays and intelligent tactics made by managers. Soccer also has physical contact, but players do not intent to do beat each other up because there are referee to protect from an…
Did you know that there are a lot of physical concepts used in boxing? You should ask a boxer if he/she knows the physics he/she uses while punching the opponent. While punching someone the basic concept of physics is applied. This is the potential energy converting into kinetic energy. We all have learned this in 6th grade and we all must know this concept very well. But the only thing most of us don’t do is apply the concept in a real life situation. This is the time for you to apply some of the concepts you learned before in a real life situation. Kinetic energy is calculated by using the formula - Kinetic Energy = (1/2)mv^2…
Boxing is an anaerobic activity which requires professional boxers to maintain high energy levels for twelve intensive 3-minute rounds. A boxer’s intention should be to eat foods which will provide the correct strength, power and weight ratio which is best maintained by sources of high energy and low fat content. For this reason carbohydrate are the ideal foodstuff for boxers, slowly releasing energy for a sustained period of time, replacing lost glycogen stores and increasing stamina during fights and training. 45 – 55% of a boxer’s diet should be made up of carbohydrates. For example, out of a daily diet that consists of 4000 calories, 1800 to 2200 calories of those should be derived from carbohydrates, roughly equating to 550 grams in…
After watching the video “Big Hits, Broken Dreams,” it opened my eyes tremendously to the risks of playing contact sports at a young age. The debate question that I feel is the biggest question to ask is, do the risks outweigh the benefits to young people playing contact sports? I think that this is the question that most parents ask themselves when their son decides to play a sport like football. After watching the video, it showed how high schools in North Carolina prior to the death of Jaquan Weller were very uninterested in head injuries amongst middle and high school students. I started playing middle school football in 2009, and the school system made it mandatory that all parents and athletes go to a concussion seminar before every season. Also, there were three sports trainers on the felid…
