<h2><u>The South African Gumboot Dance</u></h2>
Perhaps the most recognizable dance in the show, the gumboot dance originated during apartheid-era South Africa. The dance gets its name from the thick rubber rain boots (think modern day Hunter Boots) known as “gumboots” or “wellingtons” worn by migrant laborers who were employed in diamond and coal mines. The apartheid government enacted laws that restricted these workers from speaking to one another, so they developed their own means of communication: using the sounds and stomps of their gumboots as a form of morse-code. The movement eventually transformed into a dance, which became particularly popular during the fight against apartheid and even became a protest symbol. Those involved in the Struggle would participate in the gumboot dance as a way to express their unification in the fight against the oppressive government. Even after the official end of apartheid in 1994, the gumboot dance remained a symbol of hope and solidarity. This dance made its way into popular culture as well, with Paul Simon writing a song titled “Gumboots” featured on his touchstone album Graceland. The formation of the gumboot dance marks a pivotal point in both the history of South Africa, as it symbolized the fight against a powerful regime, as well as in the history of dance, as it became the foundation for the development of step-dancing.

Answer:
Answered below
Explanation:
If I were president I would make policies that minimize access to guns and ammunitions by most people. Following the recent incidents of school shootings, workplace shootings, church shootings, community violence and gun fights, it is clearly necessary to implement stricter gun control measures.
I would raise the age of eligibility to legally possess a weapon to 28 years old. Any person wanting to purchase a gun would be made to go through thorough questioning to access their psychological state. Background checks to ascertain the criminal history of potential buyers would be compulsory. Automatic and high calibre weapons would be banned. Open carry would be made illegal. I would make sure the number of weapons owned by one person is reduced to two.
With these steps we would see gun violence and shootings decline significantly. Killing of innocent children in schools, party goers, co-workers etc, by aggrieved people would be events of the past.
The putting out system was a precursor to the factories of the industrial revolution. It was an intermediate step that came between the system in which everything was made at home and the system in which everything was made in factories.
