Dance is a purposeful form of human movement that has some symbolic, societal or aesthetic value. Although many people dance at social gatherings or on their own at home, it is a form of performance art that has been around for centuries. In fact, some anthropologists think that dancing was one of the earliest forms of human communication and may even pre-date spoken language. When it is performed well, dance can be an uplifting experience that transcends other forms of art. As well as classical dance in the form of ballet and contemporary styles, there are numerous sub-genres that include folk, tap, hip hop, rock and roll, Latin and ballroom, among others.
To many people, the purpose of life is very clear. It has been laid out clearly either by their parents, teachers or religious leaders. For others, it is much harder to work out. In fact, many philosophers have argued for centuries about what the true purpose of life is. There is a distinction between what the purpose of any life is and what it means to an individual, of course. Some people believe they have found a purpose in their life if, for example, they do a job that they find fulfilling. To others, the purpose of all human life is to work towards a higher purpose that is bigger than any individual. Broadly speaking, the latter is a spiritual interpretation of a life's purpose.
A talking therapy that is sometimes referred to as an intervention, cognitive behavioural therapy is based on several psycho-social theories. Sometimes referred to as CBT for short, cognitive behavioural therapy aims to challenge people in their thoughts, especially ones that have become cognitively distorted in some way, either through habit, belief systems or erroneous attitudes. By talking about such thoughts and challenging them in a secure environment, therapists try to alter the way patients think which can often include attitudes to themselves. Cognitive behavioural therapy was first developed to help people suffering from chronic depression. Still, it has since been adapted to treat people with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety and even psychosis and bipolar disorder.
