University athletic departments should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries. |
These days, it is generally said that university sports activities should be invested same amount o supporting as universityes libraries. It has been a controversial issue to discuss which perspective is more beneficial. Some people might disagree with the statement because they think that college should help their students academically. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree with the statement for the following two reasons : sports improve not only students' health but also their socialization skills.
To begin with, sports have a positive effect on students' health. This is mainly because many studies show exercies strengthen bones, muscles, etc. by buring fats or stimulating blood circulation. And these great activities prevent terrible disases such as hypertension. To illustrate my brother's experience as an example, 3 years ago, he always spent his time playing computer games all day. Necessarily, his weight was increased and it make him suffer from obesity. Because of doctor's advice, he joined a jogging club and the jogging help hime to lose weight and be healthy. As shown in the example above, students can gain numerous health benefits by taking part in athletic activities.
Moreover, sports activities foster studnets' socialization skills. In other words, athletic actions include group sports like a baseball, so students can learn cooperation and harmony. According to a research conducted by "British Sports Institue", when students are participating in group actions like basketball games, they have a chance to learn how to cooperate and be harmonized with others, improving socialization by playing team games, cheering for their teammates, and seeking one goal to win this game. This is another reason that I vote for fund in sports activities in university.
To summerize what I have said until now, I strongly belive that university sholud give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they do their libraries. The reasons behind this are that athletic activities enhance both exterior and interior health. All things considered, there is no doubt in my mind that no one can deny these benefits by doing heathful activities. |
