▶ Topic : Universities should spend as much money on sports as they do on libraries.
Recently, general awareness about whether
universities should spend as much money on sports as they to on libraries has
aroused heated arguments. People, nevertheless, have conflicting ideas; while
some people say that universities should not spend money on sports because of
lower relationship with academic, others deem otherwise. From my point of view,
I am in agreement with the former stand.
The first reason for my opinion that can be
seen by every person is that sports could increase student’s mental and
physical health. Students nowadays spend their plenty of times in the chair due
to their tremendous assignments. This causes students to feel stress and
anxiety in perspective of mental health. And it is quite lethal to their back
bone. If universities spend their budget on salubrious sports, students can
reduce stress and be more healthy . I will talk about my own experience to
illustrate this point. When I was senior, I used my time almost at the library
because of thesis paper. At that time, my health got to bad sharply. So, I joined
university’s sports program. Through this program, my health started to
recover. Consequently, I could keep my health thanks to sports program.
Another equally important reason is that
sports program could build various social skills. When people interact with
others, people sometimes face difficult times like conflict, leadership, and
responsibility. But, if students are accustomed to these situations early, they
can learn social skills dealing with these problems. There was a recent survey
conducted by National Education Board of Korea with university students as
respondents. The purpose of this poll was to understand which one is the most
helpful activity to build diverse social skills. An overwhelming 68% had responded that sport
activity is the best than other activities in university for attaining skills.
This is because sports make students mingle with each other and solve their
plights by themselves. This study shows that positive view on sports. So it is
really profitable for university to invest on sports program,
Looking at all the statements above, there
are many reasons to be considered, at the end of the day, I would rather say
that university should spend money on sport activities as much as on libraries
for youth’s health and social skills.
