Remember how, as a child, your mother put you in a corner with the words: “Think about your behavior!”. Often, modern civilization puts a person in such conditions under which he becomes dependent not only on various bad habits, but also on work, study, everyday affairs and worries … And now he simply cannot stop and think, even if he is very tired. So, it's time to go to the club to relax, unwind, tidy up your body or even enrich yourself spiritually.

What is a club

In general, the word club appeared long before the opening of the first club establishment. And if you look into sources such as Dahl's or Ozhegov's dictionary, then, in addition to the modern meaning, they also describe the old Russian definition of the word.

A club is a spherical thing, a round body, coiled, prefabricated, composite. Examples: puff of smoke, puff of steam, puff of wood, ball of thread

Despite the fact that the word "club" in the modern sense came from the English "club", it is worth taking a closer lookand to the original Russian version. After all, if you think about it, the etymology of the old word "club" is quite similar to the modern concept. First, let's look at what the word today means.

A club is a place where people meet who are united on some basis. So, people can be united by common interests, nationality, professional characteristics

And now let's remember one of the forms of club activity, such as a "circle". You can also cite as an example such combinations as “team of a hockey club”, “composition of a football club” and a lot of other examples that combine the old Russian word “club” and the modern “club” that came from the West.

What are the clubs

Everyone needs a break from everyday activities. It's just that everyone's idea of leisure is different. One loves nightclubs and dancing until the morning, another definitely needs skiing or a bike, and the third just loves to read. And yet everyone can find their own club of interests.

However, do not forget about the clubs that gather people not for recreation. These can be political, professional or social associations.

Clubs are needed, first of all, to ensure that each person has the opportunity of self-realization in a circle of like-minded people. Also, club activities can be aimed at the exchange of experience. These associations include, first of all, professional clubs.

Leisure clubs

• A nightclub is a public entertainment establishment. For recreation in such an institution most often does not require permanent membership. A visit to a nightclub is always associated with high costs and, as a rule, occurs periodically, without being tied to a specific mode.
• Hobby clubs are various kinds of associations in which people gather to discuss any topics related to hobbies. These can be considered: scientific clubs (historical, mathematical and others), needlework circles, associations of collectors, motorists. Meetings in clubs of interest can be both regular and periodic. As a rule, this type of leisure is not associated with financial costs.

Professional organizations

• A political club is an association of people connected by common political beliefs. Members of such a club gather to discuss various projects with a view to their subsequent implementation in the life of society. Members of a political club are usually not associated with the political parties operating in the state, but on the contrary, they are aimed at combating the imperfection of the policy of the people's deputies.
• Business club is an association of people by professional affiliation in order to exchange experience. Here new acquaintances are made, useful contacts are established, training events will be held.
• A sports club is an organization that brings together professionals and sports enthusiasts. Members of a sports club most often become permanent members of the club anddisciplined attend training in accordance with the established regimen. Sports associations include: team sports clubs, fitness centers, martial arts clubs and others. Visitors to amateur clubs must pay membership fees and the work of coaches. Members of professional associations participate in competitions and sports, thus replenishing the club's treasury.

Charity clubs

• Social clubs are organizations for people of a certain social status. These include: clubs for pensioners, housewives and other segments of the population, national communities. Membership in such clubs is usually non-binding.
• Clubs for the protection of animals and the environment are exclusively charitable. Such clubs usually consist of volunteers who are ready to provide free assistance in protecting nature, as well as to promote the ideas of charity.

Whatever your passion, you can always find like-minded people with whom your ideas will take on new facets, making life brighter and more interesting.
