Histoty They Don t Teach You with introducing the sport into greece, and Greeks has scratched its mark into ourculture as it Cockfighting A Rural American tradition, Missouri folklore http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/periodicals/wrv/V35/N2/f95d.h
Extractions: Volume 35 , Number 2 , Fall 1995 A Tradition of Cockfighting by Lynn Morrow The rising popularity of cockfighting in the past decade has placed the Ozarks, and in particular the White River region, in the forefront of this ancient blood or pit sport. Sportsmen in our region, and others with family connections here, have served as officers and lobbyists in the national and Missouri United Gamefowl Breeders Association. Animal rights activists in Missouri have risen to oppose cockfighting, seeking prohibitive legislation, so far unsuccessfully. The debate over this sport, which is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Ozarks, calls for an historical review. Such a review is especially helpful in considering cockfighting since, as one southern mountaineer said in regard to the sport, "Here’s history they don’t teach you." A wise Missouri jurist wrote that "Tradition depends not at all upon thinking, nor is it disturbed by thinking. Of all the influences which affect the conduct and affections of men, none is so powerful as tradition. Resting upon use and custom, it is independent of the caprice of man and exercises over him an uncontrollable dominion. The value of tradition lies in its unreasonableness. It contains experience rather than thinking." And therein lies much of the debate: tradition unites us, convictions divide us, a rule that Thomas Jefferson knew well when he said that "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing." Cockfighting in the Ozarks comes more immediately from our British colonial inheritance; in fact, the sport (after boxing) was probably the first European one in the New World. By the 12th century, schoolboy cocking was an annual event in some grammar schools. Students brought their cockpennys to school, building a fund to finance the event at the end of the term prizes were awarded to the winners. The grammar school competitions in Britain continued into the early nineteenth century.

Extractions: An aerial view of the Avebury stone circle complex, in southwest England. With over 150 stones and and outer circle over a mile in circumference, Avebury is the largest known neolithic religious complex in the world. Avebury is an ancient religious center located in southwest England, just 24 miles north of its more famous cousin, Stonehenge . Avebury, however, is actually much larger than Stonehenge and, it is believed, played a more important role in England's prehistory. Avebury was built around 2400 b.c., during the Neolithic Period, and was in regular use for over 2,300 years. The primary stone circle is the largest in the world, being over 1,400 feet in diameter, surrounded by a deep trench over a mile in circumference. The trench was carved out of solid rock with only primitive tools, and was believed to have once been filled with water, making the inner stone circle sit on what appeared to be an island. Unfortunately, most of the stones have been removed and reused to build the village of Avebury, part of which actually resides within the circle. The primary stone circle also contains two inner circles, each over 300 feet in diameter, identified as the "Northern Inner Circle" and the "Southern Inner Circle" respectively. The Northern Inner Circle contains a set of three sarsen stones called "The Cove" which, it is believed, identifies that circle as representing femininity. The Southern Inner Circle once contained an obelisk, which was believed to identify that circle as representing masculinity. Though there is no direct evidence, it is probable that the inner circles were used in fertility rituals by the ancient Britons to enhance the fertility of the land, as that sort of belief was common throughout the ancient world.

On a mission to improve relations between Catholics and those of other religions especially Muslims and Orthodox Christians the aged pope praised "the three great religions" of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. And, in a country known for its tradition of religious tolerance, he issued an unusually forthright statement that there have been "enough wars in the name of God."

The Near Islands - Corfu On Line.gr the Ionian Islands were unified with greece, Paxos moved capital, the center of commerceand culture, and the about the history and nautical tradition of Paxos http://www.corfuonline.gr/services/islands.asp
Extractions: Paxos is located eight nautical miles south of Corfu (27 miles from Corfu Town), and covers a region of 20 square kilometers. The island is one huge olive grove, with the olive trees growing even on the seashores, giving the island its unique character. Today, the islands population, in four village communities and 30 settlements, stands at around 2400, most of them occupied in olive production, tourism and fishing. The 64 churches reveal the depth of religious feeling and the eye-catching windmills the agricultural way of life. The island of Antipaxos is located two nautical miles south of Paxos. It covers only three square kilometers, and its two settlements, Ano Horio and Kato Horio , have 20 permanent residents, with occasional visits by outsiders who own land on the island. Mostly, the people are occupied with their vineyards. The natural beauty of Paxos, and especially of its coastline, draws a great deal of tourist traffic to the island. Today it boasts some 2000 rented rooms and two diving schools, and, during the summer, many events are organized, such as a performance of Greek dancing by the Lyce Ellinidon which takes place on the Greek Tourist Boards 'National Tourism Day', as well as the Festival of Classical Music which runs during the first two weeks of September.

Extractions: Okay, I admit it. I'm a reformed souvenir junkie, with occasional relapses into my normal state of acquisitive frenzy. It started in family trips to Tijuana, Mexico where a fifty-cent a week allowance was found to be marvelously elastic. And it took me years to realize that the dazzling selection of souvenirs with equally blinding pricetags found at international airports were not unique and I really would find exactly the same items much more reasonably priced once I left the airport. So by the time I travelled to Greece, I was a bit more discerning. Aching shoulders, arms, and legs from carting around overfilled luggage had taught me a few hard lessons even tiny cute objects have weight and mass. Bought in sufficient quantity, they too will take their toll, and not just in overweight luggage fees.

The Witches' Voice does not verify or atest to the historical accuracy of these writings. All WitchVox Tradition overview pages contain a valid email address, feel free to send your comments, thoughts or concerns directly to the listed author. Hellenism (Hellinikos Ethnismos) is an ancient indigenous tradition born and evolved in Hellas (Greece), is not simply a Religion and Cosmotheory, it is a certain form of human consciousness and an everyday ethos and is the most well-documented of the ancient polytheistic nature-Religions. It's above all a political and social "how to" theory that means to "haunt" the Every Day Life with its high principles: Dignity, Freedom, Beauty, Honesty, Variety, Tolerance, Candor... Hellenism perceives Cosmos (KOSMOS, i.e. the Universe) as an ever-existing Being, which not only was not created by some "creator" God out of nothing (EK TOU MEDENOS), but on the contrary allowed the Gods themselves to be created through its procedures.
Proverbs Of A Culture By Julie Lovell proverbs cited date back to Ancient greece and biblical a stream, a metaphor for traditionand stability been discussed reveal an Australian culture that values http://www.shoal.net.au/~seabreeze/julie.html
Extractions: reflect much of its attitudes This essay shall explore the concept that the proverbs of a culture reflect much of its attitudes. Referring to some thirty English language proverbs commonly used in Australia today - selected from a seemingly inexhaustible supply - this dissertation discusses how they may be seen to reflect Australian cultural values. Many of the proverbs cited date back to Ancient Greece and biblical times, yet still enjoy currency today. Firstly, the definition of a proverb shall be explored, before entering a discussion of the cogent examples and how they may reflect Australian culture. In conclusion, it shall be argued that while proverbs may provide an insight into some aspects of a culture, similar values exist across many cultures and in other times. Firstly, it is imperative to define what constitutes a proverb. According to the Oxford English Dictionary (2001, on-line) a proverb is a short pithy saying in common and recognised use; a concise sentence, often metaphorical or alliterative in form, which is held to express some truth ascertained by experience or observation and familiar to all. The definition expands to quote Howell (1659): Proverbs may not improperly be called the Philosophy of the Common Peeple, or, according to Aristotle, the truest Reliques of old Philosophy; and Souths (1823) observation: What is a proverb, but the experience and observation of several ages, gathered and summed up into one expression? (Oxford, 2001).

Extractions: Karen M. Booth, Silvia Tomaskova. Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary exploration of issues concerning women and gender in America and in a range of cultures throughout the world. Students taking Women's Studies courses are introduced to ideologies that have been used throughout history to explain female and male natures, functions, and sociocultural roles as they intersect with concerns of race, class, and sexuality. Students will be exposed to recent scholarship on feminist theory and masculinity and to critiques of feminism. They will learn about the intellectual, social, economic, political, and artistic contributions of women in various cultural contexts throughout history and across the globe. They will see how the discipline of Women's Studies redefines the traditional scholarly curriculum in order to include perspectives on women and gender as integral aspects of academic inquiry. Approximately eighteen departments offer courses that focus entirely on the study of women and gender. Some of these courses have been cross-listed as Women's Studies courses and are identified below; others are taught as special sections of an established course and have to be identified separately each semester.

The Women's Studies program is also committed to the integration of women's experiences, values, and accomplishments into all College curricula. Additional goals are to make women visible in their similarities and their differences, and to value personal experience as a way of knowing; to develop a greater understanding of institutional, psychological, and social forces which relegate women to positions of social subordination; and to create and produce new scholarship and new knowledge about women and apply it to personal, political, and institutional change.
