Native American Culture and play
Introductionintroduce the topic and provide a brief background of your country (not to exceed page).
Example 1:Brazil is located in the central-eastern part of South America and occupies nearly half of the continent. According to data from 2018, Brazil has a population of 208 million people and it is the largest country in South America. Brazil claimed its independence from Portugal in 1822 but the Portuguese language remains universal to this day (Central Intelligence Agency, 2019). The Brazilian culture is diverse due to slavery and years of European domination. The African migrants and European settlers helped shaped the society by bringing in new ideas and belief systems. (Meyer, 2010). This paper specifically examines the culture of Brazil as expressed in their play. It will provide an overview of current play activities and the effect of disability on play.
Example 2:All human beings play, no matter who, what age or location on the planet. Playing is a profound biological process that shapes the brain and makes animals/humans stronger. Play can ease stresses in life and renew a sense of optimism (Brown, & Vanghan 2009). Since even before birth, play effects, shapes and serves a purpose.
