Nowadays, different types of international sports event held in every year. Such as the Olympic, World Cup, baseball league and so on. In my perspective those kind of event could help releasing tension between countries and ease a patriotism. First of all, international sports event certainly ease the tension between two countries. There are good example of soccer matches between North and South Korea. As the relationship between those two countries were worse due to the political reason, it is quite easy to hate each other and disconnect. But during the soccer game, things are totally different. Players and audiences from the North side enjoy the game and cheer up their national team just like what South Korean does. In that moment there are not any political issues or ideological differences. Only two side of people enjoying same game together. So as a reason of this event, I believe that it will lesson the tension among countries. Second, the events might a good chance to express citizen’s patriotic emotion. During the game season, for instance the Olympic, people gather up and support national athletes together. By cheering up and supporting sportsman’s performance, it will let people to show their patriotic emotions in safe and good way. Otherwise over-heated patriotism could people to underestimate other countries. So sport events definitely a good way to express and release their patriotic emotions. In conclusion, it is quite clear that world wide sports event certainly bring us a good influence such things mentioned above. But on the other hand, those events cannot be the foundation of relationship. It always be a extra supportive event for good connection, it never can be a main connection between countries. |
