participants in the Swing riots were farm labourers in the strictest sense. (Rude, 2002). The homogeneity of the social composition links again to the traditional form of collective action. A resemblance between Bloch`s, Tilly`s and Rude`s viewpoints can be noticed. All three scholars deem the pre-industrial collective behaviour as very bifurcated, parochial and particular. It could be observed that Tilly`s traditional repertoire of contention could successfully fit the Captain Swing riots. As observed

As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t say anything, for I didn’t want to talk to the counselor more than I really had to and I knew that eventually I’d have to ride the swing. As I stepped up to the front of the line with my harness and helmet secure, the counselor gave me a reassuring smile, which made me feel better. He buckled me to all the equipment, and within 5 minutes, I was all set to go. I placed my hand on the
exemplify the ideals of each style of painting are Fragonard’s The Swing, 1767 and David’s The Death of Socrates, 1787. Although at first glance, it is easier to focus on how each work is different to the other, one can argue that they are similar in theme. Both The Swing and The Death of Socrates are works that deal with the theme of decision making. However, they differ in how each work portrays the theme of deciding.

postings in reverse chronological order. Blogs are the newest Internet craze, but do they serve a purpose? Early on, experienced web users, who knew web-programming language, kept blogs to keep track of their mind’s wanderings. They were like a "Captains log on the quest of discovery" (Brown). For the average Internet surfer, they weeded out sites worth viewing from the rest.
