Topic : Athletic department should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries. | |
|
It is often said that school should fund the same amount of money in athletic building as libraries. Some people agree with this idea, because it functions as an important place for student to stay healthy and to associate with others. On the other hand, I think school does not need to put same budget for gym for following two reasons: it is not fair for all in university and library deserve to be more invested regarding the purpose of University.
First of all, athletic department is not used as much as a library by students. To be more specific, the students who go to gym is limited some people who either major-related sports or like to exercise. In contrary, most people go to library to do research and do assignment. For example, last semester, my university had renovated the old gym, replacing old equipment with new one. The University did the construction on the belief that up-to-dated facility will encourage student to do exercise more, but as it turns out, the number of students who went there were almost same. Meanwhile, students still had such a difficult time to secure seats in library. Thus, University is better to fund facility where can benefit more students.
Also, the main goal of going to University is to acquire knowledge. Of course, gym has its meaning as well, such as providing chance to associate with various people and enhance student's health. However, it is not as significant as library. According to the research, conducted by students in National Seoul University, more than 90% of respondents answered the prestige name for knowledge, not for the better facility to the question what made them to choose to go University. In fact, I also made my mind to study more in University to equip my self with profound knowledge, not to improve physical condition.
To sum up, after taking consideration two factors, discussed above, funding the same amount of budget in athletic building is not a good idea. It is not only benefit as many as library does, but also less important than library. Therefore, I wholeheartedly believe that university should spend much money gym, but rather used for a library. | |
