People find entertainment from hobbies, social events, sports, or anything that sparks an interest in our minds. As a child, we form to what we enjoy. Young boys watched baseball with their dads because they just started T-ball. Young girls, like myself, watched professional dancers because they just started their first combo class.

Extreme equality can be overwhelming as well as restrict the individuality of one. In the story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, a scientific fiction, the idea of true and complete equality is exaggerated to its extent and thrust into a realistic background to reveal the actual…

Jean Morrison Brown, a previous professor of dance at the University of New Hampshire stated about Duncan: “A feminist in the most contemporary sense of the word and a radical whose rebellion, particularly against ballet, was complete and far-reaching …” (Brown, 1998, pg. 7) She believed that dance…
