Universities should fund sports activities the same amount money as they fund their libraries. |
It is debatable whether students` sports activities should be given the same amount money as universities fund their libraries or not. Some people say that schools should invest fund to improve quality of learing they provide to students at the expense of sports activities. Even though I agree that it is good that they fund much money in order to enhance quality of education, I strongly believe that sports are also important as education. To begin with, sports activities can improve students` physical conditions. They can have enhanced endurance ability of lung and heart and prevent a variety of deseases by exercising sports. According to the article of the Jung Ang daily paper, which is one of the famous papers in Korea, People who exercise a running periodically have smaller risks to get a illness than people who do not exercise. For example, my cousin spend a lot of times to play the starcraft,is a game, in front of his laptop. He suffered from obesity as a result of his inert behavior. This is why I insist that university should fund their sports activities. On top of that, students can foster their socal skill. Sports,generally, require collective efforts and cooperations of paticipants. For instance, when I paticipated in basketball games, I had a opportunity to cooperate with others. I realized that our team could get a win if all teammates have to do our best for the one goal. No one can achieve a win alone, opposing to a team. For this reason, sprots activities should be given fund the same amount money. To sum up, I strongly believe that universities should fund the same money their sports activities as they invest their libraries. This is because sports activities raise students` physical health and improve their social skills. |
