Need an research paper on history and techniques of salsa. Needs to be 9 pages. Please no plagiarism. Salsa is a splash of scent and color in the modern torrential society entangled in its constant needs for utility and practicability. Salsa is not just a dance, it is also a feeling. It is a wonderful combination of movement and passion that reunites two partners in a dance about intensity, for salsa is a word that was addressed to musicians or to the band as a request to liven up the music. Born as a fusion of different Cuban styles somewhere between the 1950’s and the 1970’s, salsa has managed to win other the interest of the New Yorkers in the 1970s, when the distinct salsa style came out on the East Coast and became very popular in a short period of time. Nowadays, salsa is a dance that has gain worldwide resonances. It is a subject of interest to all ages and it is also somewhat more accessible than other rigorous and complicated dance styles that require more patience and practice. Salsa is also a social dance and therefore it gives us the opportunity to socialize with different kinds of people and it makes us feel less isolated and more confident in our skills and capacities. In this paper, I will talk about the history of the dance and the techniques of the salsa dancing from observations driven out of my concrete experience and later crystallized into ideas through the practice of abstract conceptualization.Salsa is not an easy term to define, as it” is a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. Each played a large part in its evolution” (Pretell, 1996). The rhythm of the salsa music is very engaging and it takes over one’s body in a minute, making it move, twist and turn with a vigorous force that comes from its rich historical, social and cultural background. This way, salsa represents the meeting point of the European and African popular music, as well as a powerful synthesis of the spirit of those many generations that have contributed to the development of its style.

Compose a 1500 words assignment on critical theory in relation to racism in sports. Needs to be plagiarism free! This paper seeks to analyse different concepts under the critical theory and explain how these concepts are used to respond to social divisions particularly racism, in the area of sports. In particular, the paper focuses on the factors which determine what sport an individual engages in, the struggle of the minority to join majority-controlled sports, and the issue of racial micro-aggression. The critical theory of sociology is one of the most prominent theories that explain social relations, particularly because the theory is neither too positivist nor pessimistic but rather looks at the society the way it is. According to Coakley & Donnelly (2004, p. 42), the critical theory examines the origins of power, how such power operates in the social life and how it changes in relation to people’s struggles over social relationships. Among the most common forms of social difference or division is concerned with ethnic and racial differences, which often lead to inequalities and power struggles. These inequalities affect different social aspects and activities, including sports. Ideally, sports should be all inclusive and characterised by democratic processes in which all people are allowed to participate regardless of social divisions. On the contrary, however, sports have proved to be very divisive in that people from a certain gender, religion, social class or race are favoured over minority others. Individuals and group minorities are often at a disadvantaged position are as far as sporting activities are concerned. There are several social divisions that affect sporting activities within given societies, one of the most prominent being racial discrimination. In sociology, racism is considered as a form of social exclusion since it creates inequality of social groups and ends up disadvantaging one or more groups. A race is one of the core factors that cause social divisions in areas such as education, employment and even sports.

Guided Response:Respond to at least two peers. In your responses, ask a question about the ethical implications they found in their study. Compare it to your own post and offer input as to how the considerations in light of the Belmont Report should be taken into account. Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you, including the instructor. Responding to the replies given to you will further the conversation and provide additional opportunities for you to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.First respond:Drosopoulos, J. D., Heald, A. Z., & McCue, M. J. (2008, May). MINIMIZING BULLYING BEHAVIOR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION AND INSTRUCTION. Retrieved July 9, 2020, from https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED500895.pdfThe ethical considerations employed for this study were the dignity of participants as well as the anonymity, protection and privacy of the students. The three teachers that conducted this study displayed their professionalism in maintaining student privacy while discussing and research bullying and its effects. One of the possible factors of bullying in the school used for the study is the large number of low-income families. Students were asked to define bullying is as well as participated in role-playing scenarios where each student would be the bully, the victim or a bystander. Throughout each week, students contributed in various ways such as creating posters, writing songs, filling out surveys and working on self-esteem tests. By the end of this study, the students reported that they had felt more comfortable dealing with bullying situations and the results show that the amount of bullying had decreased from 147 instances in the pre-doc, to 101 in the post doc, a decrease of 31% (Drosopoulos et al., 2008).Second respond:Bekele, T. A. (2010). Motivation and Satisfaction in Internet-Supported Learning Environments: A Review.Journal of Educational Technology & Society,13(2), 116–127.7-1Within this article Bekele, discusses the motivation that students have in a internet based learning environment from the standpoint of higher education. Some ethical standpoints to consider would be of course ensuring that the students private information is kept out of the action research study. We must also consider the learning abilities, or each student involved. Furthermore asses the study to insure that there aren’t any implicit biases. Throughout this study the group of students must reflect as diverse, meaning there is an equal representation of race and gender. “This study examined how success measures (motivation and satisfaction) are impacted by success factors (ISLE).Studies (Bekele & Menchaca, 2008a; Menchaca & Bekele, 2008) indicated course, method, support, and technology related factors jointly impacted successfulness.”(Bekele 2010)”Resources:Bekele, T.

The class did well on the First Analytical Essay. This week we have our second 750-word essay, but this time it will be based on your answers to the questions about another one of the readings in the book, this one on the topic of an immigrant’s experience. Your essay this week will be a response to Firoozeh Dumas’s article on how she was treated when she immigrated to the United States, as a result of her foreign name. It starts on p. 257 in Intersections. Be sure to follow the directions carefully so that you will get the maximum amount of points. DIRECTIONS: First, preview the article by reading the top of page 257 in Intersections, the first paragraph, all of the information in the margins, and each bolded word. Then go back and follow the directions in “As You Read” on page 257 as you read through Firoozeh Dumas’s story. Now you are ready to start writing! Open a new file, either Microsoft Word or any file that you can save as a PDF file. Format 1. Write your name in the top left-hand corner, first name then family name with no commas and no period. 2. Write the assignment name directly below your name, on the second line: Second Analytical Essay (with no period). 3. A few lines below the assignment name, plan to write a title for your paper. You can come back and do this after you write the paper if you like, and when you do, make sure to center it. 4. Set your paper to automatically double space. 5. Use 12-point Times New Roman or a similar font. 6. Make sure you have 1-inch margins and that the color of the font is black, not gray. Content 1. If you wish, you can postpone writing the introduction until after you finish the rest of the paper. This strategy works well for many students, but if you prefer to come up with a topic sentence, or thesis, and write the introduction first, that’s fine too. 2. Now answer the Before You Read questions on page 257, from your own experience, but remember to write them in paragraph form, one after another, not as a numbered list. 3. Below that, write the answers to the five Mapping the Reading questions on pages 260-261, again as a paragraph. 4. Then answer the five questions in Discussing and Thinking Critically, in another paragraph, or maybe several paragraphs. If you really don’t know the story of your own name, maybe you can ask someone in your family about it–OR you can write about the name of someone else in your family if you prefer. 5. After that, check how many words you have. You might already have 750 words–that’s great!–but whether you do or not, there are still a few more required steps. 6. Now write an introduction. A traditional introduction tells about the topic and why it’s important, maybe previews, or mentions, the main points that are coming in your essay, or in some way makes the topic seem interesting to the reader. This is where you should tell the author’s name, brief background, and the title of her story. 7. The last part of your paper is the conclusion. You can choose to use one or more of the following strategies, or you can come up with your own conclusion. Some strategies: –tell why this topic is important –make a recommendation, give advice –predict the future of this issue (look to the future) –restate the main idea from the introduction using different wording –tell a lesson that can be learned from this topic –or whatever makes the paper feel finished. 8. If you don’t have at least 750 words, go back and expand on (write more about) any of the answers you wish. 9. Now go back and make sure that each section flows smoothly to the next section. You might have to use some transition words or sentences, adjust the style, etc., but the important thing is to make it feel like one complete essay, not a bunch of separate answers, which is how it started out. 10. When you finish that, check again to see if you have at least 750 words, and if not, add more information, maybe add a quote and talk about it, or write more about your personal experience, etc. 11. Finally, check it the best you can and correct any errors you find. Pay special attention to the word “you,” which means the reader, not people in general. Instead, you can say “people, they,” etc. Also check that you are not trying to connect sentences with just a comma alone. 12. Finally, run the Readability Statistics, make sure your Flesch-Kincaid score is over 7.0 and that your word count is at least 750, and paste this information including the word count at the bottom of your essay. 13. When you have done the best job you can, submit your assignment as a PDF or Word file. This assignment is worth 150 points.
