Some people think that advantages of spending money for university’s libraries far out weigh those of sports. However, in my opinion, universities have to spend as much money on sports as they do on libraries for two reasons: to keep healthy and to enhance a sense of responsibility.
To begin with, using money for sports allows student to stay healthy, which is contributes to develop universities. This is because building a sports center tend to reduce students’ stress levels by forgetting about their stressful matters such as excessive competition to achieve a higher grade, and in turn, occurring bad relationship with their friends and so on. Frankly speaking, more libraries make possible to competition with others for required grade, so as a result students would be stressed about these situations. Consequently, it is clear that students need to join sports in sports center because it may decline their stress. In other words, students are easily stressed out when they only to absorb in records of school, if the universities only to invest more money in libraries. If so, students would be more and more lose their break time by playing sports with their friends in schools’ sports center. Moreover, this stress is very harmful for students and it is one of the main factor of diseases through weakening the immune system. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2012, a test on mice showed that life span was shorten when they regularly underwent series of electric shocks. Interestingly, the researchers found a link between this and human beings who suffered from periodic stress. This implies that high stress levels coming from using money just for libraries can negatively affects humans, resulting in a shorter life span.
On top of that, exhausting money for sports as much as libraries do plays a significant role in improving a sense of responsibility. This is due to the fact that spending money for exercise is desirable act because it also require better responsibilities such as arriving on time, manage their schedules wisely, meeting deadlines, observing regulations and thoroughly completing assignments when students doing sports games. This is because, playing sports can grow students’ responsibility so much as libraries’ do, and even sports might have been more worth both students and universities. According to a study conducted by Seoul National university of Korea in 2011, students who play sports with friends in schools’ sports center do better academically than their peers who do not sports and just study in libraries because they know how to handle multiple tasks and responsibilities and can consequently manage their time well. On the whole, students who juggle study and sports are more mature and better equipped to succeed their non-exercise peers. These benefits extend far outside the classroom.
To sum up, universities benefits more from spending money for sports than for libraries in order to succeed in students’ healthful life. This is attributed to the fact that it is capable of developing a sense of responsibility as well as improving students’ health. In this regard, I strongly agree with the statement that universities should spend as much money on sports as they do on libraries for the reasons I mentioned above. |
