Real Madrid is one of the most famous clubs in the world.
The first thing we are going to do is determine the etymological origin of the term club . By doing so we will discover that it is a word that comes from English, more precisely from the word club which, in turn, emanates from the Germanic klubba , which is synonymous with "pile of firewood."
A club is a society created by a group of people who share certain interests and who jointly develop cultural, recreational or sports activities. Members of a club associate freely with the intention of enriching their social life.
For example: “If tomorrow is sunny, we are going to spend the day at the club” , “Juan is at the club: he went to play soccer with his friends” , “Today there was an accident in the club pool and they had to rescue a child.”
Operation of a club
Very diverse activities can be carried out in a club. There are sports clubs , cultural clubs and other types. All these institutions have in common the absence of profit motive . This means that clubs are not created to obtain an economic return, although they can seek income to finance their operation.
To join a club, it is necessary to pay a fee that allows you to enjoy the institutions' facilities and events. In some cases, a registration fee must also be paid at the time of registration.
Water activities are carried out in a yacht club.
Different types
Soccer clubs are the best known worldwide since they move millions of dollars. This sport has become a huge industry and its players are true celebrities. FC Barcelona , Real Madrid , Boca Juniors and River Plate are examples of football clubs.
The sports club that is dedicated to the practice of nautical activities is known as a nautical club , on the other hand. Within this group there are various types of entities, such as sailing clubs or yacht clubs .
In the same way, there are also the so-called nightclubs . These are usually entertainment venues that, as their name indicates, open their doors at night and where attendees can not only have a few drinks but also attend the different shows that take place on stage.
All this without forgetting that in some countries the term club is also used to refer to prostitution establishments where clients can witness striptease shows, drink alcohol and have sexual relations.
"Dead Poets Society"
In addition to all of the above, we would have to establish that one of the films that has become a classic is the one titled precisely “The Dead Poets Club” ( “The Society of Dead Poets” in Latin America ). In 1989 , Peter Weir , known for other films such as “Marriage of Convenience” or “The Mosquito Coast” , released this production.
The story we are told is that of a professor, played by Robin Williams , who begins to work at a prestigious as well as old-fashioned school. There he will establish a very close relationship with his students through Literature classes and teach them values such as fighting to find happiness and seeing dreams come true.
