There is an ongoing debate on whether playing a game can give people lesson about life. Some people might say that enjoying games is important, saying that it is not for lesson but for fun. In opposition to this, I firmly believe that people can learn valuable lesson by playing games. The reasoning behind this is that people can develop thinking ability and how to cooperate with others. Additionally, games emphasize on the rule.
To begin with, playing games enable people to think deeply. In order to win the game, it is crucially important to analyse opponents and integrate their thought. This is because playing games needs thinking ability in an effort to win. This surely helps people to live how to accept problems and adjust them to their lives. For example, when I played Baduk which is korean checkers, I had to ponder what I was going to do before I put one stone on the board. This games needs endurance and high ability to think. This surely allows me to develop and progress my ability to think, and I could make use of this ability in every day's lives, especially useful when I compare two items with each others. In this sense, playing game make people think in many ways
Next, people can learn how to live with others together. In order to win a game, people should learn the feelings of cooperations, from which they can find out that people need others' supports. For example, my brother is a professional football player. Therefore, he enjoys playing football game in an early football game. However, his team hardly won the game because he did not support other member's acts. Instead, He always wanted to win a game with his effort. After several months later, he realized that he needed humble behaviour by cooperating each others. Even though he has a good skill, winning a game depends on every member's efforts. In this regard, playing games makes people learn how to help each others.
Finally, keeping rule is the most important aspect in playing games. This is because without it, playing games does not makes any sense. To illustrate, after finishing olympic games, there were always some athletes who used drugs for their final goals. Finally, it turned out later that they used prohibited drugs and had to hand over their medals after all. This truly shows that without keeping rule, winning games has no meaning. Likewise, in people's lives, it is also important to keep rules for their fair and success life.
To sum up, I definitely believe that games could teach people valuable lesson about life. This is because playing games wants people to have in-depth thinking for winning, makes people to learn how to live together, and has emphasize on keeping rules. |
