[]  Cheerleading is a sport that applies dance routines that usually range from one to three minutes consisting of tumbling, jumps, cheers and stunting. It is also known as a sport with higher injury rate than American football. Cheerleaders cheer for the sports player (i.e. basketball players, football players) at every match and encourage audiences to participate and take a role in cheering the sports players. During the game, cheerleaders usually stand at the sidelines doing a brief cheer led by the squad captains. Each squad performs a short cheer during short break of first or third quarter of the game. During half times two squads from both schools perform a dance routine. Cheerleading started from the United States, but it is famous in many countries: Japan, Korea, England etc.

GOTH media type="youtube" key="ieNc4_4TCuQ" height="344" width="560" []  Goth is a contemporary subculture originated from United Kingdom during the early 1980s. Goth culture has been so influential that it has altered music, aesthetics and fashion of the people. Gothic subculture usually wear black clothes, and have a dark makeup with pale white skin.  People usually have a stereotype that goths are supportive of violence. However, violence and hate do not form elements of goth ideology. In fact, the ideology is formed in part by recognition and grief over evils (personal, social, political) that culture wishes to fix and forget.
