Answer:

Cucking stools or ducking stools were chairs formerly used for punishment of disorderly women, scolds, and dishonest tradesmen in England, Scotland,[1] and elsewhere.[2] The cucking-stool was a form of wymen pine, or "women's punishment," as referred to in Langland's Piers Plowman (1378). They were instruments of public humiliation and censure both primarily for the offense of scolding or backbiting and less often for sexual offences like bearing an illegitimate child or prostitution.

The stools were technical devices which formed part of the wider method of law enforcement through social humiliation. A common alternative was a court order to recite one’s crimes or sins after Mass or in the market place on market day or informal action such as a Skimmington ride. They were usually of local manufacture with no standard design. Most were simply chairs into which the offender could be tied and exposed at her door or the site of her offence. Some were on wheels like a tumbrel that could be dragged around the parish. Some were put on poles so that they could be plunged into water, hence "ducking" stool. Stocks or pillories were similarly used for the punishment of men or women by humiliation.

The term "cucking-stool" is older, with written records dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Written records for the name "ducking stool" appear from 1597, and a statement in 1769 relates that "ducking-stool" is a corruption of the term "cucking-stool".[3] Whereas a cucking-stool could be and was used for humiliation with or without dunking the person in water, the name "ducking-stool" came to be used more specifically for those cucking-stools on an oscillating plank which were used to duck the person into water

How did the structure of ancient Greek theaters reflect important elements of ancient Greek culture?
DanielleElmas [232]
Greek theatre was acted out on stage and because there was no modern technology, acting had to compensate by becoming over-exaggerated. Masks and colours were used to represent characters so that the audience could identify them from a distance as the theatres were very large. Greek theatre used a chorus to feed back to the audience what was happening in the play, almost like a narrator, but instead it was a group of people. The chorus could also represent society’s views as a whole.
In ancient Greece, theatre was a really big deal. Crowds of 15,000 people would gather to see a play.

Can someone write a speech about gym being their favorite subject and why :)
mylen [45]

Answer:

Regular exercise and physical activity promotes strong muscles and bones. It improves respiratory, cardiovascular health, and overall health. Staying active can also help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and reduce your risk for some cancers.

There are numerous reasons people join a gym. For some of us, it's about packing on muscle to improve strength. Other members may be looking for a more natural energy boost than caffeine. And some simply want to treat their body with respect

Exercise helps you extend your life - that's a fact. It cuts your cancer risk in two, reduces the chances of heart disease, strokes, Type 2 diabetes and lowers risk of an early death by up to 30%.

The gym gives me the chance to move in all kinds of different ways, which is awesome. And most importantly, it all makes me feel good. It's even – dare I say it – kind of fun. It's fun to move in new ways
