The RFD- TVs The American Introduction YouTube video states, “In 1864 America was a nation divided. For a nation whose spirit was broken, it would take the birth of a new American tradition.

The top competitors for this sport often try to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo also known as the NFR. Its a 10 day long event that takes place in Las Vegas, NV. Hundreds of thousands of people go to watch this event. At this rodeo, in every event, if you win the round you’ll get a pay check of $30,000 and the payout goes down to 5th place. These cowboys and cowgirls travel thousands of miles, spend thousands on entry fees and gas, and have hit more barrels, missed steers, and have gotten bucked off more times than they want to think of on their journey to try to make this extraordinary event. Richard Champion said it costs him about $35,000 for entry fees and travel alone each year. But also we have to realize that he is just a bareback rider. He doesn’t need to drive a big diesel truck and huge living quarters horse trailer. He could travel in a Toyota…
Something as old as bullfighting might seem out of style but it is quite a prominent sport. The show of bullfighting has been around for a long time and was a popular spectacle in ancient Rome. It was fully developed in the Iberian Peninsula. The North African Moors changed this sport from a “formless spectacle practised by the conquered Visigoths to a ritualistic occasion observed in connection with feast days on which the conquering Moors, mounted on highly trained horses, confronted and killed the bulls.”(Spainsh Fiestas) Around 711A.D. the first bullfight took place in celebration for the crowning of King Alfonse VIII. King Felipe V liked the sport but he banned it from the aristocracy because he thought it set a bad example for the public. Once it was banned the commoners accepted the ‘sport’ as something they did and started playing it around 1724. They couldn't afford horses so they did it by dodging the bulls and doing it unarmed. They dodged and taunted the bulls. They eventually ended up placing small spears into them which is where we get banderillas in the bullfights todays. It has been said that bullfighting is literally dancing with death. If they make one wrong move the fighter will get gored which is why it is so important for the…
For my breaking the norm project I did a quite simple, yet effective action that definitely broke the norm of a regular society. Before I carried out my experiment I made some predictions as to the potential outcomes of what I was going to perform. I went a full day greeting at least two complete strangers in each place I went to in a single day. I went to a grocery store and Dick’s Sporting Goods. I got some mixed reactions that depended on age for the most part. First, I went to a grocery store and tried my experiment there. I first greeted a girl that I assume was around my age based on her appearance. Surprisingly, she was actually very sweet and she replied with the most sincerity I have seen a complete stranger greet me with. I did not expect her to be so cordial…
