A lot of people (especially elder ones) think that modern culture is poor and cannot boast with any significant achievements. I am sure that it is a bit wrong point of view. On the one hand, I can agree. Many achievements of modern culture are just very odd and it seems that they have no sense. On the other hand, there are achievements that really changed our view on particular things. Such achievements became wide-spread and famous all over the world. Break dance is one of them.
 
This kind of dance is relatively young. It emerged in the late 1970-th. Like everything new it did not have a wide support in the society. However, time has passed and nowadays it is still very popular and more and more young people are getting engaged in break dance. I guess a good term paper about it will be extremely catching.
 
So, what can you investigate in a term paper devoted to break-dance?

• Study the origins of this dance in a term paper. Initially, it was a street dance. It became popular among young African Americans and Puerto Ricans, who lived in the South Bronx, New York. At first, break-dance was a means of putting an axe in the helve between different gangs. Then it developed into a separate kind of dance and culture.
• A term paper on break-dance should definitely say a few words about Michael Jackson. In 1974 he was the first to perform his Robot dance on television. After that break-dance was popularized. In a term paper you can study the development of break-dance outside the United States.

• You can tell about the world-famous break-dance teams in a term paper. The first team to be mentioned is Rock Steady Crew. This legendary team can be called a unique and an unsurpassed one. Other famous teams that you can tell about in a term paper are Second 2 None, which is the oldest break-dance team in the world, and Flying Steps – a famous team from Germany that even appeared in Guinness World Records Book. In a term paper you can tell about new talented break-dance teams that have a chance to become world-popular.

I think break-dance is a very special phenomenon in modern culture. You can find out a lot of interesting things if you write a term paper on it.
