Theatre - Thespis won the first contest to see who could write the best dithyramb (religious song or chant), his prize was a goat. Thespis was considered the first actor and this is where we get the word "thespian" from.Government - The definition of politics: The authoritative allocation of values for a society.
History - Before the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in NY in 1911, the women there basically had to pay to work. They made $2.00 a day before their pay was deducted for the amount of cloth, needles and electricity they used.
Psychology - The happier you are, the more coordinated you are.

Woof! Woof! Happy Spring Break to you. Learning is great. My mom loves "school" ... best time of her life. ENJOY Learning ... Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Wow, I do feel your smarts rubbing off on me!!! I never knew that about the factory workers. Interesting!
Wags,

Wow, I had no idea that's where the word Thespian came from. And I can't believe the woman at the factory had to pay to work. We've come a long way!
Yes, I do - especially "and stuff" LOL
Thank you- I had no idea that happiness and coordination were related ... I wonder why?
Thanks for sharing. Your post is proof that you can learn something new everyday. I did!
You are super smart! Just don't forget about your cute, but not so smart friend Pip!
Hey there Sprinkles...
Sorry I've not been around for a while. It's great to hear about your schooling, and all the learning.
BTW We learn best when we are having fun! It's therefore important to find a 'fun' way to learn.
My own thought: It's not the learning that is important, its how we apply it in order to make the world a better place.
Keep learning, dear friend. The rest will follow.
