Recreation

Sport, recreation, and play changed significantly over the course of the 19th century in the United States because work changed significantly. The country moved from an agricultural society, where citizens worked at home and had little time for recreation to one in which the industrial revolution introduced mass production and mass distribution and with it, new concepts of time, space and economic realities. This led to the transformation and modernization of sports as we know it. In the mid…

A Recreation of Slavery The goals of Reconstruction in America were to restore the union of the North and the South and to help the freed slaves achieve civil rights. During this time, many accomplishments were made in order to gain equal rights for African Americans such as the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments which abolished slavery, gave many African Americans citizenship, and gave them the right to vote.

Leslie is intelligent, determined, cheerful, and oh so optimistic. With that being said, I can really see some aspects of myself in Leslie, and I really relate to the character that she is. When watching Parks and Recreation, Leslie’s…

has been overlooked for years. There are no recreation centers in our town. There have not been any actively open centers for kids in Piscataway since around 2000. The most we had at one point was a pool. It was up and running years ago but was torn down. There were plans in place to build a recreation center in its place, but it was never built. There are many reasons why a recreation center will benefit our community. We desperately need a recreation center in our community. Having a center…
