Do you think playing sports teaches people important lessons about life?
As our society has rapidly developed, modern people are enjoying more convenient life by using high technological products such as automobile, the Internet service and smart mobile phone. Thanks to this evolution, people can do everything such as going on a trip, seeking how to make food and researching what they need, whenever, wherever they are. Therefore some people insist that people don’t need to physical activities, since physical activities are substituted by high technology. In this sense, they also believe that playing sports are also not necessary and cannot teach any lessons to them. However, I don’t think that. I believe that playing sports give essential and useful lessons about life to modern people. In this essay, I will present two reasons to support my opinion.
To begin with, many people can learn socialization skills which are really significant factors in life from playing team sports. In case of young people, they are hard to make a good relationship in class room. This is because young people only concentrate on studying academic subjects and entering high level of school for successful life in modern society. The young can not only make a good personal connection but also get how to cooperating with friends by playing team sports such as soccer, basket ball and tennis which require teamwork and cooperation. For example, the soccer, representative team sport, is needed to eleven players who should cooperate and put their effort into passing ball to team members during the game. Thus, while people participate in the team sports, they naturally obtain team memberships and learn social skills.
Second of all, playing sports help people improve their endurance and patience which are necessary things for successful life. In terms of modern people, most of all are lack in patience, since they are living in the extremely quickly changing environment and they are familiar with quickness. In this way, modern people cannot endure and they are hard to wait something in every situation. According to the survey conducted by sociology research team at Tokyo University, more than 80 percent of respondents who are always playing diverse sports in the weekend with their family answered that they can get aid from playing many sports with family. This is because, people can do sports well, if they should do it regularly and consistently without abandonment. This survey shows that people can improve their endurance by playing various sports.
In conclusion, playing sports give bountiful and beneficial lessons to modern people. As I have stated above that, modern people can gain precious teachings such as socialization, teamwork, patience and waiting from playing sports as well as keep in a good shape. For these reasons I agree with the statement that playing sports teaches people important lessons about life. |
