He was cast to the ground and sentenced to always having to wriggle on the ground like a snake.
The second chapter of Genesis says that God made Adam from the dust of the ground.
Then, God breathed life into him.
God made a garden, called the Garden of Eden, for him to live in and take care of.
Adam named the animals that God made.
God did not provide clothing for Adam or Eve until they disobeyed him.
He gave them tunics made out of animal fur when he banished them from Eden.
Adam is "The Chosen One".
God knew that the animals were not good enough friends for Adam, who needed a partner like him.
So God took a rib from Adam and used it to make Eve (meaning "mother of all living").
Adam did not give her this name until God banished them from Eden when he provided clothing for them out of animal fur after they disobeyed him.
The fall and punishment
Chapter three of Genesis says that Adam and Eve had everything they needed in the garden.
There was only one thing that God told them that they should not do: eat from the Tree of Knowledge; only from the Tree of Life.
A serpent said them that God does not want you both to be as intelligent as he is so this forced Eve to disobey God's orders .
And they ate the Forbidden fruit.
So they were forced to leave Eden.
Not only that but God said that women will have pain in childbirth, and that men need to work hard to grow food, and would return at death to the soil from where he once came.
Ramadan (sometimes spelled Ramadhan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims  fast or do not eat or drink during the daytime.
The date for the start of Ramadan is slightly different each year, depending on the position of the moon.
Once Ramadan starts, Muslims should not eat or drink between dawn and sunset.
This usually continues for thirty days, but sometimes twenty-nine days.
Fasting is supposed to teach Muslims about patience and ibadah (faith).
It is a time for Muslims to think about how the poor and homeless suffer without lots of food, it helps Muslims to be more obedient, and less greedy.
During Ramadan, Muslims ask to be forgiven for their sins, and they pray for help in stopping them from doing bad things.
Not everyone has to fast in Ramadan.
Children do not have to fast.
They should start when they reach the age of puberty, so long as they are healthy.
People who are travelling long distances do not have to fast.
Pregnant women do not have to if they think it might harm their unborn baby.
Sometimes sportsmen do not observe the fast, although there are disagreements about this.
For example, the Olympic Games in 2012 fell in the middle of the holy month.
This made it very difficult for the sportsmen who could not eat or drink during daytime.
When the sun goes down and it gets dark the Muslim people will start eating again (this is called "breaking the fast").
This meal is known as Iftar.
There are often big meals enjoyed together by lots of Muslims.
Sometimes markets open after Iftar and stay open during the night.
Ramadan is also the month when the "Quran" was sent down into Earth by an Angel called "Jibrill" ("Gabriel").

Tenzing Norgay (May 29, 1914 – May 9, 1986) was a Sherpa climber.
During his life he had several wives, as it is part of Sherpa lifestyle.
Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary were the first people to reach the top of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953.
Norgay was born in Kharta Valley, Nepal.
He died aged 71 in Darjeeling, India.
There are different views about his early life.
The account that he gave in his first autobiography, accepted for several years, is that he was a Sherpa born and brought up in Khumbu in Nepal.
However more recent research has led to the claim that he was born a Tibetan in Kharta valley, Tibet, but his family were left destitute when their yaks were killed by disease, and he was sold as a bonded servant to a Sherpa family in Thamey in Nepal.
Khumbu lies near Mount Everest, which the Tibetans and Sherpas call Chomolungma which in Tibetan means Mother Goddess of the Earth.
His exact date of birth is not known, but he knew it was in late May by the weather and the crops.
After his ascent of Everest on 29 May, he decided to celebrate his birthday on that day thereafter.
He was originally called "Namgyal Wangdi", but as a child his name was changed on the advice of the head lama and founder of the famous Rongbuk Monastery, Ngawang Tenzin Norbu.
Tenzing Norgay translates as "wealthy-fortunate-follower-of-religion."
His father, a yak herder, was Ghang La Mingma (d. 1949) and his mother was Dokmo Kinzom (who lived to see him climb Everest); he was the 11th of 13 children, most of whom died young.
One of his autobiographies is Tiger of the snows: The Autobiography of Tenzing of Everest, written in 1955.
Tenzing Norgay has been on several attempts to reach the top of Mount Everest.
Two of the attempts were stopped by bad weather which caused them to turn around.
One of failed attempts was in 1935 with Eric Shipton.
Eventually, after 6 failure attempts, Norgay finally reached the top of Mount Everest in 1953 along with Sir Edmund Hillary.
They came back down from the top of the mountain on May 29, 1953 .
After Mount Everest
Tenzing later became director of field training for the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling.
In 1978 he started Tenzing Norgay Adventures, a company providing trekking adventures in the Himalaya.

More people started living in the area and in 1768 it became a town named Charlotte Town.
It was named after the wife of King George III because the people wanted him to like them.
But he did not, and soon he started passing laws that the people in Charlotte did not like.
So, on May 20, 1775, the people in Charlotte signed a proclamation that later was called the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
They did not want to be ruled by the king anymore so eleven days later they had a meeting and made new laws for their town.
In the early 1800s, many churches started to form in Charlotte.
That is why Charlotte is sometimes called “The City of Churches.”
In 1799, a boy found a big rock.

The Selgovae were a Brythonic tribe in Scotland, who lived in what is now the Borders.
Their capital was on the North Eildon hill, near the current town of Melrose.
This was a large hillfort covering an area of about 40 acres.
It is believed that there were about 2500 people living in the fort.
The Selgovae left the fort in 79 AD when the Roman army invaded the area.
There are other Selgovae hillforts at Caidemuir Hill (near Peebles), Dreva Craig (near Broughton), Rubers Law (near Hawick), Whiteside Hill (near Romannobridge), Abory Hill (near Abington), Cow Castle (near Coulter), Quothquan Law (near Thankerton), Bodsberry Hill (near Crawford) and at Crawford.
At Tamshiell Rigg there is evidence of a walled settlement.
The Roman forts at Birrens, Netherby and Bewcastle were all built in Selgovae lands, north of Hadrian's Wall.
In the second century, the Selgovae are said to be one of the four kingdoms of ancient Scotland.
By the end of the fourth century, the area had been taken over by Coel Hen and his kingdom of North Britain.

Prehistory (or pre-history) is the time before people began to write.
The word comes from the Ancient Greek words προ (pre = "before") and ιστορία (historia = "history").
Paul Tournal first used the French word Préhistorique.
He found things made by humans more than ten thousand years ago in some caves in France.
The word was first used in France around 1830 to talk about the time before writing.
Daniel Wilson used it in English in 1851.
The term is mostly used for the period from 12,000 BC  3000 BC, roughly speaking, the Neolithic.
Sometimes the term "prehistoric" is used for much older periods, but scientists have more accurate terms for those more ancient times.
Less is known about prehistoric people because there are no written records (history) for us to study.
Finding out about pre-history is done by archaeology.
This means studying things like tools, bones, buildings and cave drawings.
Pre-history ends at different times in different places when people began to write.
In the more ancient stone age pre-history, people lived in tribes and lived in caves or tents made from animal skin.
They had simple tools made from wood and bones, and cutting tools from stone such as flint, which they used to hunt and to make simple things.
They made fire and used it for cooking and to stay warm.
They made clothing out of animal skins, and later by weaving.
Society started when people began doing specialized jobs.
This is called the division of labour.
The division of labor made people depend on one another and led to more complex civilizations.
Some important sciences that are used to find out more about pre-history are palaeontology, astronomy, biology, geology, anthropology, and archaeology.
Archaeologists study things left over from prehistory to try to understand what was happening.
Anthropologists study the traces of human behavior to learn what people were doing and why.
After people started to record events, first by drawing symbols (called pictographs) and then by writing, it became much easier to tell what happened, and history started.
These records can tell us the names of leaders (such as Kings and Queens), important events like floods and wars, and the things people did in their daily lives.
The time when prehistory ended and history started is different in different places, depending on when people began to write and if their records were kept safe or lost so they could be found later on.
In places like Mesopotamia, China, and Ancient Egypt, things were recorded from very early times (around 3200 BC in Ancient Egypt) and these records can be looked at and studied.
In New Guinea, the end of prehistory came much later, around 1900.

Roman Empire rises and falls.
The Early Middle Ages were a period in European history.
They lasted from the 5th century to the 10th century.
They were followed by the High Middle Ages and the Late Middle Ages.
These were called the “Middle” Ages because they came between ancient history and modern history.
The Middle Ages are sometimes called the Medieval Age.
The Early Middle Ages started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
In ancient history, the Western Roman Empire ruled much of Europe.
Eventually, that empire started to weaken.
In 410, Rome was sacked by Alaric, the leader of the Germanic tribe known as the Visigoths.
Rome survived, but had been weakened greatly.
In 476, when Rome was again invaded and sacked  by Odoacer, he was able to take the city for himself.
He made himself the king of Italy.
This ended the Western Roman Empire.
Europe entered the Early Middle Ages.
Life in the Early Middle Ages
As the Early Middle Ages began, Europe was experiencing the effects of the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Before, the empire’s communication systems made it possible for people all over Europe to share ideas and facts.
Now these communication systems were no longer working.
This made it much more difficult to exchange knowledge and new ideas.
For many years, the Roman army had defended the empire and kept peace between different parts of Europe.
Now, wars became common as people all over Europe started to fight each other for territory and resources.
The Catholic Church was very powerful during the Early Middle Ages.
Most Europeans were Christian at this time.
KGB  is the Russian-language abbreviation for State Security Committee.
It was the main internal security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 until its break-up in 1991.
It was formed in 1954 as a successor of earlier agencies, the Cheka, NKGB, and MGB.
During the Cold War, the KGB suppressed "ideological subversion".
This meant suppressing unorthodox political and religious ideas, and the people who held those ideas.
It was Soviet policy for the KGB (and the secret services of the satellite states) to monitor public and private opinion, internal subversion and possible counter-revolutionary plots in the Soviet Bloc.
The KGB was instrumental in crushing the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and the Prague Spring of "Socialism with a Human Face", in 1968 Czechoslovakia.
A record of some of its doings is contained in the Mitrokin Archive.
Different stages
In March 1953, Lavrenty Beria merged the MVD and the MGB into one agencythe MVD.
In December of that year, Beria and six associates were executed and the MVD split.
The re-formed MVD retained its police and law enforcement powers, while the second, new agency, the KGB, did the internal and external security functions, and reported to the Council of Ministers.
On 5 July 1978 the KGB was renamed as the "KGB of the Soviet Union", with its chairman holding a ministerial council seat.
The KGB ended when its chief, Colonel-General Vladimir Kryuchkov, used the KGB's resources to help the August 1991 coup attempt to overthrow Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
On 23 August 1991 Colonel-General Kryuchkov was arrested, and General Vadim Bakatin was appointed KGB Chairmanand mandated to dissolve the KGB of the Soviet Union.
On 6 November 1991, the KGB officially ceased to exist, although Russia's new national security organisation, the Russian Federalnaya sluzhba bezopasnosti (FSB), works in the same things that the Soviet KGB did.
Belarus is the only post-Soviet Union era country where the national security organization is still called "KGB".
Belarus is where Felix Dzerzhinsky started a group called the Cheka, which was an organization in the Soviet Union before the MVD or the KGB was started.

The FSB (ФСБ) is an organisation in Russia that takes care of security of the country.
It is the organisation that came after the KGB, relating to internal affairs inside the country.
It is usually simply called the FSB in English-language sources.
Its main responsibilities are within the country.
It does counter-intelligence, internal and border security, counter-terrorism, and surveillance.
It also investigates some other types of serious crimes.
Its headquarters are in Lubyanka Square, Moscow's centre, in the main building of the former KGB.
The Director of the FSB since 2008 is army general Aleksandr Bortnikov.

Poison pins, rocks and fake logs: the secret arsenal of a long, silent war by Jeremy Page, The Times, March 02, 2006
Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Polish astronomer.
People know Copernicus for his ideas about the sun and the earth.
His main idea was that our world is heliocentric (helios = sun).
His theory was that the sun is in the middle of the solar system, and the planets go around it.
This was published in his book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) in the year that he died.
Copernicus was born in 1473 in the city of Thorn (Toruń) in Royal Prussia, a mainly German-speaking state that was ruled by the Polish king since 1466.
He was the son of the merchant Niklas Koppernigk and his wife Barbara Koppernigk (born Barbara Watzenrode).
His native language was German.
He was taught first in Cracow and then in Italy, where he graduated as a lawyer of the church.
He also studied medicine to serve his fellow clerics.
Copernicus spent most of his life working and researching in Frauenburg (Frombork), Warmia, where he died in 1543.
Copernicus was one of the great polymaths of his age.
He was a priest, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, jurist, physician, classical scholar, governor, administrator, diplomat, economist and soldier.
During all these jobs, he treated astronomy as a hobby.
However, his doctrine of heliocentrism that the sun, rather than the earth, is at the center of the solar system, is one of the most important scientific hypotheses in history.
It was the beginning of modern astronomy.

A projection in geometry is something like a shadow, that an object casts onto another object.
When a three-dimensional sphere is projected onto a plane, its projection will either be a circle or an ellipse.
In higher mathematics, projections are changes of one thing into something else.
They may also be applications of functions.
Drizzle is the name given to light rain.
The drop size of drizzle is smaller than that of rain, about 0.5 mm (millimeters) in diameter.

For the World War II fighter, see P-38 Lightning
Lightning is a very powerful electrical discharge made during a thunderstorm.
The electric current makes the air very hot.
The suddenly heated air expands very quickly, which causes thunder.
Sometimes lightning happens between clouds.
Sometimes (in the rain) lighting goes from cloud to ground.
If it goes from cloud to ground, it can strike a person.
Around 2000 people are struck by lightning each year.
About 50 to 100 lightning bolts strike the Earth every second.
Lightning has hit the Empire State Building as many as 500 times a year.
When lightning strikes, the surface rubs electrons from the lightning, and a spark of electricity shoots from the lightning to the surface.
In a thunderstorm, the lower cloud has as many as 100 million volts of electricity.
This electricity is given out either within the cloud, to the ground, to another cloud, or into the air.
Lightning has been known to travel from the ground upwards to the cloud.
In 1993, scientists discovered lightning bolts that shot upward from the top of a cumulonimbus cloud.
Franklin experiment
Benjamin Franklin experimented with electricity and was interested in lightning.
He discovered many things about lightning.
In 1772, he was the first to show that a thunderstorm lets out electricity.
In his book he suggested an experiment to test it.
Joseph Priestley said that Franklin flew a kite to prove the presence of electricity in the storm, using a dry silk string to protect himself from the electricity in the wet hemp kitestring.

Built on the site of the ancient Island Carib village of Sairi, it is the oldest and most important urban settlement on the island of Dominica.
Roseau is Dominica's most important port for foreign trade.
Some exports include bananas, bay oil, vegetables, grapefruit, oranges, and cocoa.
The service sector is also a large part of the local economy.
There are several private institutions registered in Dominica, like Ross University, Ballsbridge University, international university for graduate studies, All Saints University, New World University, Western Orthodox University.
There is a prominent diocese called Roman Catholic Diocese of Roseau.
An event is something which happens or takes place.
An event is brief, possibly extremely brief.
Contrast with a process, which takes time.
Alternate meaning: an important activity, an item in a program, or the program as a whole.
A special occasion, such as a wedding or other party, is a social event.
In physics (and in some kinds of philosophy), an event occurs at a point in time which can be distinguished because the state of the world changed.
Something was different before and after the event.
In special relativity (and general relativity), an event is a point in the spacetime continuum, i.e. it has a position in space and time.
In experimental particle physics, an event refers to a set of elementary particle interactions recorded in a brief span of time.
In probability a possible outcome of an experiment is called an elementary event, while a set of those (a subset of all) is called simply an event. (
See event (probability theory).)
In palaeontology, one speaks of extinction events.
In information processing, an event is a change in the properties received by an observer after being transmitted from an object.
In computer science, an event is a software message that indicates something has happened.
See event-driven programming.
A number of protocols, such as MIDI, are also event-based.
For the computer software named Paint, see Microsoft Paint
Paint is the general term for liquid that is used to add colour to the surface of an object by covering it with a pigmented (coloured) coating.
As a verb, painting means "applying paint" (putting paint onto something).
Someone who paints is called a painter.
Paint is made from a coloured pigment which is usually a powder.
The powder is made from different chemicals.
Some of the pigments come straight from natural things like clay.
The pigment must be made wet by mixing it with something that will make it stick onto the surface and not come off easily.
The wet stuff is called the "medium" or "vehicle".
Some paints are just mixed with water.
Other paints are mixed with oils or chemicals of different sorts.
Most painters buy paint that is already mixed.
House-painters use paint already mixed in large cans.
Artists buy paint in tubes.
Some artists buy dry pigment and mix it for themselves.
The paint is usually put onto the surface with a paint brush.
Paint brushes are used by painters of all sorts.
House painters also use rollers and spray-guns to put on paint.
A modern invention is paint in a pressurized can which can be sprayed on.
Some modern artists also use spray paint.
In factories there are machines which spray paint onto objects.
Cars are usually painted in this way.
Paint must be allowed to dry.
Some paints such as watercolour, dries in a few minutes.
Other paints, such as artist's oil paint, can take days or even weeks to dry.
Most other types of paints fit between these two.
Many types of paint are best if they are put on in several layers.
The painter must first prepare the surface so it is smooth, clean and dry.
The first layer of paint is often an "undercoat" or "ground" which is smooth and sticks very well.
The coloured paints are put on over the top.
A house-painter who is using oil paint on a wooden window frame might used three layers of paint to give very good protection from the weather.
Other types of modern house paint only need one layer, particularly on the inside.
Artists using oil paint and tempera often use many layers to get just the right effect.
Uses of paint
Paint is used to protect all sorts of buildings and structures from the effects of water and sun.
Wooden buildings such as houses are usually painted because a coat of paint prevents water seeping into the wood and making it rot.
The paint also helps to prevent the wood from drying out in the hot sun.
Metal structures and objects of all sorts are painted to stop them from rusting.
A very large steel structure such as a bridge must have a team of painters who keep the paint in good condition all the time.
Paint is used to decorate all sorts of objects.
Since pre-historic times, people have painted the inside walls of their houses to make them look attractive.
Painting and decorating the exterior (outside) and interior (inside) of houses is an important industry in many countries.
There are many types and colours of paint to chose from.
All sorts of other objects are painted to make them attractive.
This includes furniture, toys, tools and utensils, and street fittings.
Sometimes things made of wood such as furniture are painted in decorative patterns.
In some countries, many people enjoy decorating furniture and other small things like trays and boxes.
This is one form of what is often called Folk Art.
In other countries such as Japan, painting furniture is a very skilled profession and an antique piece of decorated furniture is very valuable.
Paintings are pictures that are done in paint.
Many different types of paint are used for paintings.
They include tempera, oil paint, gouache, watercolours and acrylic paints.
The paintings are usually done on board, canvas or paper.
Many other famous paintings are done on the walls and ceilings of buildings, such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling which was painted by Michelangelo.

History of Paint
For the American singer, please see Marc Anthony.
Mark Antony (Latin: Marcus Antonius, 14 January circa 82 BC – 1 August 30 BC), was a Roman patrician from an upper-class family.
He became a general and politician.
He was an important supporter of Julius Caesar as a military commander and administrator.
Enemy of the state, and the second triumvirate
After Caesar's assassination, Antony, left as sole Consul, surrounded himself with a bodyguard of Caesar's veterans.
He forced the senate to transfer to him the province of Cisalpine Gaul, at the time administered by Brutus, one of the conspirators.
Brutus refused to surrender the province and Antony set out to attack him in the beginning of 43 BC, besieging him at Mutina.
Encouraged by Cicero, the Senate denounced Antony.
In January 43 they granted Octavian imperium (commanding power), and sent him to relieve the siege.
In April 43, Antony's forces were defeated at the battles of Forum Gallorum and Mutina, forcing Antony to retreat to Transalpine Gaul.
News came that Brutus and Cassius were assembling an army in order to march on Rome.
Antony, Octavian and Lepidus joined as allies, in November 43 BC, to stop Caesar's assassins.
The trio were the Second Triumvirate.
Brutus and Cassius were defeated by Antony and Octavian at the Battle of Philippi in October 42 BC.
After the battle, a new arrangement was made: while Octavian returned to Rome, Antony went on to govern the east of the Republic.
Lepidus went to govern Hispania (Spain) and the province of Africa.
The triumvirate's enemies were subjected to proscription, including Mark Antony's archenemy Cicero, who was killed on 7 December 43 BC.
William Shakespeare wrote a play "Antony and Cleopatra" based on this historical event.

A crossword, or crossword puzzle, is a popular type of puzzle that uses words.
They are usually found in newspapers, magazines, and in books which contain a collection of them.
They can also be played over the Internet and using mobile apps.
The first crossword puzzle was created by Arthur Wynne, a journalist from Liverpool.
It first appeared in the December 21, 1913 issue of the New York World.
Today, there are many newspapers and magazines that are known for their crossword puzzles, such as the New York Times.
A different crossword is typically printed every day or in every issue, and the answer (or solution) is either found somewhere else or often is not seen until the next day or issue.
A traditional crossword is made up of black and white squares, called a grid.
All the white squares appear in horizontal rows or vertical columns, but are not always separated with black squares.
Another way to say this is that every white square must have at least one other white square touching it on any side.
The kind of crossword that appears in newspapers and magazines, such as the one in the image, often has lots of white squares beside each other.
The goal of solving the puzzle is to write different words, letter-by-letter, in the white squares.
Next to the grid is a list of clues.
The answer to each clue is a word or sometimes a phrase.
The place in the grid where the answer to each clue should go is shown by a number and the direction in which the answer appears, for example, "1 Across" or "15 Down".
Many computer programs have been created to find the answers to these clues.
There are many types of crosswords.
Straight (or Quick) crosswords are usually made up of simple definitions - which means that other words are used to describe the answer.
Some crosswords, called cryptic crosswords, use riddles and word play and are usually more difficult than straight crosswords.

In a group or society, a taboo is something that is not acceptable to talk about or do.
An activity or behavior can be taboo in one culture, but not in another.
Some things like cannibalism and sexual relationships between siblings are taboo in almost all societies.
Sometimes even talking about taboos is taboo.
Some taboos may also be against the law, and people who break them may be punished.
Breaking taboos can seem rude, and can cause embarrassment or shame.
Origins of the word
The English word “taboo” comes from the Tongan word tapu or the Fijian word tabu.
These words usually mean "not allowed", or "forbidden".
In its current use in Tonga, the word tapu also translates to "sacred" or "holy", this means something that is protected by custom or by law.
For example, the main island in the Kingdom of Tonga, where the capital Nuku'alofa is located and most of the population resides, is called "Tongatapu".
Its first recorded use in English dates back to 1777.
An English explorer, Captain James Cook, went to a place he named "the Friendly Islands" (now Tonga).
Writing about the Tongans, he wrote:
Some Solomon Islanders say that their languages have a word tabu (said like "ta-boo") that means “holy.”
This word refers to places in the bush where holy spirits live.
Local customs say that nobody should disturb these places unless a ceremony or ritual is taking place.
As taboo, they are places that should not be touched.
Common taboos
Many world religions have taboos about food.
Islam and Judaism both say there are some foods which people should never eat.
A halal diet does not include any of the foods that are taboo in Islam.
A kosher diet does not include any of the foods that are taboo in Judaism.
Other religions say that people should be vegetarians.
In these religions, eating meat is taboo.
Many societies also have taboos about food.
For example, cannibalism is taboo in most societies in the world.
Some sexual activities, gender roles, and relationships are taboo in many religions, societies, and cultures.
For example, fornication, adultery, interreligious marriage, miscegenation, homosexuality, incest, bestiality, pedophilia, necrophilia and other paraphilias are taboo in many groups.
In many societies, performing bodily functions in public is taboo.
Taboo activities in public might include burping, flatulence, defecation, urination, masturbation, nosepicking, and spitting.
In some societies, menstruation is taboo, and women are expected not to talk about it in public.
Some religions say that certain types of genitalia are taboo.
For example, Judaism says that boys should be circumcised.
In some societies, having sex reassignment surgery is taboo.
Pornography, nudity, drug addiction, alcoholism, slavery, and vulgarity are taboo in many societies.
Some cultures see certain gestures as taboo.
In some groups and societies, talking about race or racism is taboo.
There are two major theories about why taboos exist.
The '’Anthropological approach’’ says that taboos are the result of history and culture.
The ‘’Psychoanalytical approach’’ says there are psychological reasons for why taboos exist.
Anthropological approach
The anthropological approach says that taboos are the result of history and certain cultural experiences.
A psychologist and writer named Steven Pinker says that taboos have developed culturally from more basic instincts.
He thinks that humans have a reflex to feel disgust when they see some things that carry disease (including dead bodies).
He says that people created taboos regarding the dead because of this natural disgust for dead bodies.
He thinks that some actions can also cause this reflex of disgust.
He says many people have a reflex of disgust about incest (sexual relationships between family members).
For this reason, taboos about incest developed.
Psychoanalytical approach
The psychoanalytical approach says that taboos exist because of people’s unconscious thoughts and feelings.
For example, Sigmund Freud thought that children naturally have sexual desires towards family members.
In his book ‘’Totem and Taboo,’’ Freud wrote that taboos about incest developed to make sure people would not act on these sexual desires.
Freud thought that incest and patricide are the only “universal” taboos (meaning these behaviors are taboo in almost all societies and cultures).
He said that these taboos formed the basis of modern societies.
German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt explains that taboos come from people’s fear of a "demonic" power.
When people think this demonic power lies hidden in an object, that object becomes taboo.
Sigmund Freud disagreed.
Freud thought that Wundt’s ideas did not consider the psychological reasons for taboos.
Writing about the history of taboos, Freud said:
"Taboos, we must suppose, are prohibitions of primæval antiquity which were at some time externally imposed upon a generation of primitive men; they must, that is to say, no doubt have been impressed on them violently by the previous generation.
These prohibitions must have concerned activities towards which there was a strong inclination.
They must then have persisted from generation to generation, perhaps merely as a result of tradition transmitted through parental and social authority."
Freud added: "Anyone who has violated a taboo becomes taboo himself because he possesses the dangerous quality of tempting others to follow his example."
