Alternative lifestyle. Alternative lifestyles and subcultures originated in the 1920s with the "flapper" movement, when women cut their hair and skirts short (as a symbol of freedom from oppression and the old way of living). Women in the flapper age were the first large group to practice pre-marital sex, dancing, cursing, and driving in modern America without scandal following them. This was because this new flapper lifestyle was so popular that the flapper's brash behavior became more normal than previously thought.
A Stanford University cooperative house, Synergy, was founded in 1972 with the theme of "exploring alternative lifestyles. " The following are examples which may be considered by some to be alternate lifestyles: References[edit] External links[edit] Synergy House at Stanford University. Regulation. Regulation may refer to the following: Reasons for regulation[edit] Regulations may create costs as well as benefits and may produce unintended reactivity effects, such as defensive practice.[2] Efficient regulations can be defined as those where total benefits exceed total costs. Regulations can be advocated for a variety of reasons, including:[citation needed] Market failures - regulation due to inefficiency. Intervention due to what economists call market failure. The study of formal (legal and/or official) and informal (extra-legal and/or unofficial) regulation constitutes one of the central concerns of the sociology of law.
History[edit] Regulation of businesses existed in the ancient early Egyptian, Indian, Greek, and Roman civilizations. Beginning in the late 19th and 20th century, much of regulation in the United States was administered and enforced by regulatory agencies which produced their own administrative law and procedures under the authority of statutes. See also[edit] Psychopomp. In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms.
It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man or woman, or sometimes as a helpful animal. In many cultures, the shaman also fulfills the role of the psychopomp. This may include not only accompanying the soul of the dead, but also vice versa: to help at birth, to introduce the newborn child's soul to the world (p. 36 of).[2] This also accounts for the contemporary title of "midwife to the dying", or "End of Life Doula" which is another form of psychopomp work.

Shamanism. The earliest known depiction of a Siberian shaman, produced by the Dutch explorer Nicolaes Witsen, who authored an account of his travels among Samoyedic- and Tungusic-speaking peoples in 1692. Witsen labelled the illustration as a "Priest of the Devil" and gave this figure clawed feet to highlight what Witsen perceived as demonic qualities.[1] Shamanism (/ˈʃɑːmən/ SHAH-mən or /ˈʃeɪmən/ SHAY-mən) is a practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to encounter and interact with the spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world.[2] A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing.[3] The term "shamanism" was first applied to the ancient religion of the Turks and Mongols, as well as those of the neighboring Tungusic and Samoyedic-speaking peoples.

The expression arose in the 19th century in various places,[1] but it was popularized by Leon Trotsky (in its Russian form "Свалка истории") in response to the Mensheviks walking out of the Petrograd Second Congress of Soviets, on October 25, 1917 (Julian calendar), thereby enabling the Bolsheviks to establish their dominance.
Trotsky declared: "'You are pitiful, isolated individuals! You are bankrupts. Your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on—into the dustbin of history! '" It has since been used in both the direct and the ironic sense in political and nonpolitical contexts. Noted examples[edit] It was used by Ronald Reagan in a speech to the British House of Commons on June 8, 1982.
