Many people believe that international sporting events can contribute to world peace, while others argue otherwise. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is a common belief that large scale sports events alleviate the conflict between countries and bring a spirit of peace to some extent. However, I disagree with this opinion, since those sports events are still competition between the two countries and have the possibility of further conflict.
On the one hand, some people argue that it surely helps bring world peace. Since those international events bring numerous countries altogether, it could be one big festival. Normally, sports is one of the best things that human can enjoy. It is also considered as a universal language. When you play or watch sports, there is no language barrier. These international sports games can make everyone in the world enjoy. As we often call the world as the global village, it would promote a sense of global citizenship.
Nevertheless, I support the idea that it does not actually contribute to resolving conflicts between countries. These kinds of global festivals are still competition. It is possible to have a negative feeling towards a certain country. For instance, in the 2014 Sochi Olympic game, Korean had negative perception towards Russia after the Figure game, they were not satisfied with the final result. The positive contribution of the events does not last long. Mostly, it is just a temporary effect, since a majority of people tend to forget the fever from those sports games when it is over. It is undeniable fact that world peace can be achieved when the problem appropriately resolved through many organizations and their considerable effort.
To sum up, it is a widespread opinion that international sports events bring many nations together and have a positive effect on global peace. However, I believe that it can also generate hatred toward certain countries, and the impact on world peace is insignificant, which will naturally disappear after the events.
