Gymnastics, with its roots tracing back to ancient civilizations, stands as a testament to the enduring human fascination with physical prowess and agility. From its humble beginnings as a form of military training and ritualistic practice to its evolution into a globally celebrated sport, gymnastics has traversed a rich and diverse history. Amidst this journey, one name shines brightly in contemporary gymnastics: Simone Biles, a prodigious athlete whose unparalleled skills have redefined the sport. This essay embarks on a chronological exploration of the history of gymnastics, interwoven with the remarkable narrative of Simone Biles, a modern icon of the sport.
Ancient Origins and Early Developments:
The origins of gymnastics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where it was an integral part of physical education and military training. The Greeks valued physical fitness and believed that a strong body was essential for a strong mind. Gymnastics, derived from the Greek word “gymnazein,” meaning “to exercise naked,” encompassed various activities such as running, jumping, wrestling, and acrobatics. These exercises were not only crucial for military preparedness but also formed the basis of athletic competitions held during festivals like the Olympic Games.
The Roman Empire adopted and adapted Greek gymnastics, incorporating it into their military training and entertainment spectacles. However, with the decline of the Roman Empire, gymnastics fell into obscurity during the Middle Ages, only to experience a revival during the Renaissance period in Europe. It was during this time that interest in physical fitness and education resurged, leading to the establishment of schools and academies where gymnastics was taught as part of the curriculum.
Modern Gymnastics: From Guts to Glory:
The 19th century witnessed significant developments in the field of gymnastics, laying the foundation for the modern sport we know today. In Germany, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, often referred to as the “father of gymnastics,” pioneered the concept of organized gymnastics training. He established gymnastics clubs known as Turnvereins, where members engaged in exercises using apparatus like parallel bars, rings, and vaulting horses. Jahn’s influence extended beyond Germany, inspiring the establishment of gymnastics programs across Europe and North America.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) was founded in 1881, marking a pivotal moment in the sport’s history. FIG standardized gymnastics rules and regulations, facilitating the organization of international competitions. The inclusion of gymnastics in the inaugural modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896 further elevated its status as a global sport.
The 20th century witnessed continued innovation and evolution in gymnastics, with athletes pushing the boundaries of what was considered possible. Artistic gymnastics emerged as a distinct discipline, characterized by graceful movements, precise technique, and creative routines performed on apparatus such as the balance beam, uneven bars, floor exercise, and vault. Meanwhile, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, and acrobatic gymnastics gained popularity as specialized disciplines within the sport.
Simone Biles: A Phenomenon in Motion:
In the realm of modern gymnastics, few names evoke as much awe and admiration as Simone Biles. Born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, Biles rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most decorated gymnasts in history. Her journey to greatness is marked by unparalleled athleticism, unwavering determination, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Biles burst onto the international gymnastics scene in 2013, quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with. Her extraordinary skills, including gravity-defying tumbling passes and unmatched difficulty on all apparatus, set her apart from her peers. Biles’ dominance became evident during the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she clinched four gold medals and one bronze, solidifying her status as a gymnastics legend.
However, Biles’ impact extends beyond her remarkable competitive achievements. As a Black woman in a predominantly white sport, she has shattered stereotypes and inspired a new generation of gymnasts from diverse backgrounds. Biles’ advocacy for mental health awareness and her courage to prioritize self-care, as demonstrated by her decision to withdraw from certain competitions to focus on her well-being, have sparked important conversations about athlete welfare and the pressures of elite sports.
Conclusion:
In tracing the history of gymnastics from its ancient origins to its modern-day manifestation, one cannot overlook the indelible mark left by athletes like Simone Biles. Her unparalleled athleticism, groundbreaking achievements, and unwavering resilience have not only elevated the sport to new heights but also inspired millions around the world. As gymnastics continues to evolve, Biles’ legacy serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment, reminding us of the transformative power of dedication, courage, and the pursuit of excellence

ONE: 
1. In the realm of housing, discrimination against families with children is a deeply troubling issue that raises questions about fairness and equal opportunity. Pam and Ned’s experience in Evicted vividly illustrates the challenges faced by families with children when seeking housing. Should they receive protection? Absolutely. Housing discrimination against families with children not only violates the principle of equal access to housing but also has significant implications for the well-being and stability of those families. Denying housing to families with children perpetuates cycles of poverty and inequality by limiting their access to safe and stable housing, educational opportunities, and community resources. Protecting families with children in housing applications can help mitigate these barriers and promote more equitable access to housing.
The absence of explicit protection for families with children in the Fair Housing Act of 1968 reflects broader societal attitudes and biases prevalent at the time. In the 1960s, there may have been less recognition of the unique challenges faced by families with children in the housing market. Moreover, the focus of the Fair Housing Act was primarily on addressing racial discrimination and segregation, overlooking other forms of discrimination such as familial status. Over time, as awareness of housing discrimination against families with children has grown, there have been efforts to address this issue through legislation and advocacy.
2. Vanetta’s case in Chapter 22 highlights the critical role that information and advocacy play in the criminal justice system. The failure of her public defender to adequately present Vanetta’s circumstances, including her attendance at GED classes, childcare responsibilities, and efforts to secure housing, deprived the court of crucial context for understanding her situation. This information could have humanized Vanetta in the eyes of the court, potentially leading to a more lenient sentencing or alternative interventions that address the underlying issues contributing to her situation. The failure to consider such factors underscores the systemic injustices within the criminal justice system, where individuals like Vanetta may be unfairly penalized due to their socioeconomic circumstances.
3. Desmond’s views on home in the Epilogue resonate deeply with the fundamental importance of stable housing in human flourishing. Home serves as more than just a physical shelter; it is a sanctuary where individuals and families can thrive, build relationships, and pursue their aspirations. However, unstable housing disrupts this foundational aspect of human life, undermining personal identity, community engagement, and opportunities for advancement. Without stable housing, individuals and families face constant insecurity and instability, hindering their ability to invest in themselves, their families, and their communities. Addressing housing instability is therefore essential for realizing the vision of America as a place of opportunity and empowerment for all its citizens.
4. Reading Evicted can indeed inspire a desire to help others facing similar challenges. To get involved, one could consider volunteering with local organizations that provide housing assistance, legal aid, or support services to low-income families and individuals. Additionally, advocating for policies and initiatives aimed at addressing housing affordability, homelessness, and housing discrimination can contribute to broader systemic change. Websites like justshelter.org can be valuable resources for identifying opportunities to support and get involved with organizations working on housing justice issues in one’s community. By taking action to support vulnerable populations and address the root causes of housing instability, individuals can make meaningful contributions to building a more equitable society.
TWO: 
1. The discriminatory practice of landlords turning down rental applications from families with children, as depicted in Chapter 19 of Matt Desmond’s “Evicted,” raises important questions about housing policy and protections for vulnerable populations. Families with children should indeed receive protection when seeking housing, as they face unique challenges and often encounter discrimination in the rental market. Housing stability is crucial for children’s well-being, as unstable housing situations can negatively impact their education, health, and overall development. Providing protection for families with children helps ensure equal access to safe and adequate housing, promoting stability and opportunity for children and their families.
The absence of specific protections for families with children when Congress passed the Fair Housing Act in 1968 reflects historical attitudes and biases regarding family structure and housing. At the time, societal norms often favored traditional nuclear families and may have overlooked the needs and rights of other family compositions, such as single-parent households or families with multiple children. Additionally, the focus of the Fair Housing Act was primarily on combating discrimination based on race, color, religion, and national origin, reflecting the pressing civil rights issues of the era. However, as societal attitudes evolve and awareness of housing discrimination grows, there is increasing recognition of the importance of protecting families with children in the rental housing market. Efforts to address this issue include advocating for legislation that explicitly prohibits discrimination based on familial status and implementing measures to enforce fair housing practices for all individuals and families seeking housing.
2. Vanetta’s public defender may have failed to mention her attendance at GED classes, provision of childcare, and efforts to find housing due to a combination of factors. Firstly, the public defender might have been overwhelmed with a high caseload, leading to limited time and resources to thoroughly present Vanetta’s background and circumstances. Secondly, there could have been a lack of communication between Vanetta and her attorney, resulting in crucial information not being conveyed effectively.
Had this information been presented, it could have humanized Vanetta in the eyes of the court, portraying her as someone actively working to improve her situation despite facing adversity. This could have elicited empathy from the judge and potentially led to a more lenient sentence. By highlighting Vanetta’s commitment to self-improvement and her responsibilities as a parent, her efforts to better her circumstances could have been considered as mitigating factors in her sentencing. Overall, the inclusion of this information could have provided a more nuanced understanding of Vanetta’s situation and potentially influenced the outcome of her case.
3. I wholeheartedly agree with Desmond’s perspective on the significance of home. A stable and secure home is indeed the cornerstone of a fulfilling life, providing sanctuary from the stresses of daily life and nurturing personal growth and identity. However, unstable housing undermines the realization of this ideal. Without a stable home, individuals and families are constantly grappling with uncertainty and insecurity, making it challenging to establish roots or feel a sense of belonging. The threat of eviction or homelessness looms large, perpetuating a cycle of instability that disrupts educational pursuits, undermines employment opportunities, and strains community engagement. Unstable housing deprives individuals of the stability and security necessary to thrive, hindering their ability to better themselves, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Thus, addressing the issue of unstable housing is essential for ensuring that all individuals have the opportunity to realize the fundamental promise of home and fulfill their potential in American society.
4. While reading “Evicted” may have shed light on the struggles faced by individuals in similar circumstances to those depicted in the book, my personal situation as someone currently experiencing homelessness and dealing with familial challenges, such as a parent’s incarceration and another’s mental health issues, offers a unique perspective. Despite facing adversity firsthand, I still believe in the concept of radical free choice and upward mobility. My circumstances do not define my beliefs or limit my aspirations.
Rather than feeling inspired to help others based solely on the experiences depicted in the book, I am motivated by my own resilience and determination to overcome challenges. While I empathize with the struggles of those portrayed in “Evicted,” I also recognize the importance of self-determination and individual agency in shaping one’s destiny. Instead of focusing solely on helping others, I am committed to taking proactive steps to improve my own situation and create opportunities for myself, even in the face of adversity. Through perseverance, education, and seeking out supportive resources, I believe I can chart a path toward stability and success, inspiring others along the way through my example and advocacy for personal empowerment.

I´m creating a course in collaboration with Emdurance, I need help with structure, change of pictures change and design proposed by brand,  also help of final storytelling 

Chapter 2 Discussion Questions
What impact do growth patterns, physique, and skeletal maturity have on skill acquisition and performance?
What are the influences of muscular development and strength on physical activity for children?
Is fitness testing in elementary physical education appropriate? Defend your answer.
How might physical education be different for an overweight child as compared to a leaner person?
Why is it important for physical education teachers to understand the growing child?

This is based on Matt Desmond’s Evicted chapters 19-24 and Epilogue. In at least 500 words:
1)  Ch 19 – Landlords repeatedly turned down Pam and Ned’s rental applications because they have children.  Do you think families with children should receive any protection when seeking housing?  Why do you think families with children were not considered a protected class when Congress passed the Fair Housing Act in 1968?
2) Ch 22- Why do you think Vanetta’s public defender failed to mention that she was attending GED classes, providing childcare and looking for housing every month? How might that information have impacted her sentencing?
3) Epilogue-Do you agree/disagree with the Desmond’s views on home? “The home is the center of life-a refuge from the grind of work, pressure of school, menace of the streets, a place to be ourselves.  Home is the wellspring of personhood, where our identity takes root; where civic life begins; America is suppose to be a place where you can better yourself, your family, and your community.” How does unstable housing prevent attainment of this kind of life?
4) Did reading Evicted inspire you to want to help others in positions similar to those of the people in the book? If so, how do you think you might get involved? (Visit justshelter.org to learn more about groups and organizations in you area).
