The article “Bucking, the trend” written by Gayatri Parameswaran illuminates how rodeos are a big part of America’s history and culture, rodeos make people and families who they are and make traditions, as well as harm the animals used in the events. To start this off, how rodeos would be a big part of America’s history and culture by being with us since after the Civil War. The rodeo truly gained some attention in the beginning of the 1920s, to save the “Wild West” part of America. The paraphrase reveals that most rodeos truly gained popularity in certain times, and not really before then. Moreover, as well as rodeos being a big part of America’s history and culture, rodeos also make people who they are, and stay in families blood as traditions.…
Although rodeos are fun, they hurt several animals.Some animals get several injured because they use tools to move them and to get them angry. Some rodeos cause death to animals.

The rodeo show includes animal riding, animal lassoing and wrestling. Lassoing the bulls is a kind of skill but not a sporting event in the past. Nowadays, bull riding and lassoing becomes a kind of special sporting event. The competitors are called cowboys or cowgirls. In the past, cowboys usually get their cows together and lead them to a certain place to get brands or sold them. After the work was done, the cowboys would like to hold a bull riding competition in order to celebrate. In 1936, rodeo has finally become an organized sporting event and the rodeo association was founded by the competitors. The national rodeo association was founded in 1955 and four years later, they hold their first national finals. The association holds over 1,000 matches every year and the winners will get a sum of money as a reward. The competition includes men’s event and women’s event and each of them is individual. The men’s event including five parts: wild horse riding with saddles, wild horse riding without saddles, wild bull riding, bull tumbling and calf lassoing. The women’s event also includes five parts: goat lassoing, calf lassoing and other three special forms of speed and skill competitions. Here I would like to show you some detail information about men’s event. The men’s wild horse riding with saddles requires the competitor to control the horse by using his rein and he must stay on that horse’s back…
An issue that I have always been concerned with is how much attention male sports get, while female sports get pushed aside. Males and females put forth the same amount of effort and the same amount of hard work towards the sports they play, and in return males dominate the limelight. Arguments opposing this show that males are obviously better athletes than females. According to Mariah Burton Nelson, controversial activist and author, football, baseball and other manly sports in the United States are not games, but a culture which offer a pre-civil rights world where white men, as owners, coaches and umpires, still rule. In the manly sports, men learn to think about and talk about women in contempt. It is common practice for boys to be belittled as "wusses" or worse if they are not tough or brutal enough or willing to deny their own pain or the pain of others.…

The sport of Rodeo has been a tradition in the United States since the cowboys of the American West began pushing herds of cattle across this country. Often, there was very little to do besides hard work with the cattle and horses, so the cowhands would often get together and compete with each other in the skills that they practiced every day on their jobs in order to relieve boredom. The first competitions in rodeo consisted mainly of riding bucking horses and roping steers, cows and calves, because this was what their work consisted of. Each ranch would send their best cowboys they had. The cowboys were competing only for the honor of their ranches they worked for, and their bosses who owned those ranches. Any money they might have made from these competitions came from betting against one another on who was the better "Cow-hand". As rodeo began to get more popular more events were added to the rodeo and money became more involved by sponsors. The rodeos soon became very family oriented. Traditions from generations back would get passed down to the children, then grandchildren and so forth. The biggest debate ever since rodeo has started is: Is rodeo cruel to animals? Although rodeo may seem to be cruel to animals, there are many factors that play an important part of how animals are brought up, such as their training, their anatomy structure, and how they are raised to become potential rodeo animals, all of which are humane ways.…

Horses engage in a variety of very strenuous activities. Even a horse that is not competing or working can be subject to injuries as a result of their very nature. Horses love to run and play and actively do so socially. As an equestrian and a horse trainer, I have witnessed horses injure themselves by rolling into walls, running down hills and playing with one another. One day a horse may be perfectly fine, the next day the horse may have an injury that will keep them from being worked for weeks.…
