There are many reasons for lifting weight. Some start lifting weight to make their body more productive so that they can show better performance in sports, others want to get fit and become slim or just to get strength. In many cases people lift weight because they feel insecurity, perception of loose confidence, and fail to deliver their tasks in life. Historically, physical activities have been used to show aggression, strength and a way to deal with anger. All physical training has been utilized for similar reasons. However, mostly men have participated in physical exercises especially weight lifting, and women refrained from it. Today, with the passage of time as women are being aware their rights and strength, they are also participating in gym activities. Many people still argue that women should not lift weight but they do not realize that why lifting weight is essential for women. …show more content…

Lifting weights is about improving and being better. It’s around an absence of happiness and a practically vain drive of narcissisms that needs one perform superior to anything one has prior to this. This is human enthusiasm taking care of business; it’s the drive towards the bizarre and past. Maybe one is attempting to dispatch a rocket into space or lift a bit of steel over one's head it’s about the human personality willing something to be and after that attempting to make it so. Beyond any doubt there are medical advantages to weight lifting and it might permit one to look better yet these things are truly optional to what weight lifting can really offer

    By universal definition, "sport" is listed as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively." Football, basketball, baseball, soccer and other primary activities have always been concretely defined as sports in society. However, one of the most physically demanding activities is constantly forgotten when it comes to the realm of sports- dance. Dance requires a tremendous amount of training and creates an aura of competition in which people compete to be the best, win, and take home the trophy- just like in traditionally accepted sports. These sports, however, do not possess an element of psychological health threats that some competitive dancers unfortunately must account for due to the emphasis placed on physical appearance.

  • Grit Argumentative Essay

    1104 Words  | 3 Pages

    The definition of grit is simple; it means being passionate about long term goals, and showing stamina to pursue them, but should students in public schools have a class dedicated to a grit-focused curriculum? This has become a major topic of discussion among teachers and mentors. Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, claims grit is not a fixed quality but one that can be developed. Many disagree with her statement. Grit is something everyone all have within themselves, but some just do not utilize this characteristic as often or as well as others. Grit is a puzzling concept. Duckworth has had an obsession with grit for over a decade. Her obsession started when she visited West Point,

  • Gender In The Gym Case Study

    1305 Words  | 3 Pages

    Through various studies, Assistant Psychology Professor at Amherst College, Jessica Salvatore, and Professor of Women’s Psychology at Swarthmore College, Jeanne Marecek explore the reasons behind gender barriers in the gym, in an article entitled “Gender in the Gym: Evaluation Concerns as Barriers to Women’s Weight Lifting.” Although strength training proves to enhance mood, strengthen the immune system, and prevent osteoporosis, they’ve observed a lack of women in the weight room. Salvatore and Marecek believe women avoid this benefit due to evaluation concerns, which they define as “people’s interest in what others think of them” (Salvatore, Marecek 557). In the past, psychologists have studied similar topics concerning the pressure women receive to conform-- claiming women receive more pressure than men. Alternately, Salvatore and Marecek recognize, analyze, and briefly pose solutions for both men and women who face evaluation concerns in the gym attributable to certain experiences.

    “Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.

  • Ellery Argumentative Essay

    1946 Words  | 4 Pages

    “After researching several years in in El Cajon English teacher Juliet Ellery was finally fired”. Before the research she was announced to be unsuited to teach but due to her teacher tenure, parents and school officials were unable to do anything. But it took eight years and more than $300,000 for the district to win its case.The reason behind Ellery not being fired on the first place was due to the advantages of her teacher tenure. Teacher tenure is compelling students to study under a bad teacher who does not have skill set to teach well and he/she still will be in job because of the tenure. Despite giving security to teachers,teacher tenure must go through a massive reform so that the good teachers will still there without any complication Not to forget teachers like Ellery hardly ever lectured, gave baffling assignments, belittled students and ignored repeated efforts by the high school principal to get her to improve. However, like what happened with Juliet Ellery, who was defended despite having over 400 evidences against her, there are many cases similar where teachers who need to be sack are protected by teacher tenure.

    Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel.

  • Weightlifting Should Be Allowed

    1177 Words  | 3 Pages

    It has long been thought that lifting weights at a very young age could stunt a child's growth, but more recent research has found that to be an inaccurate assumption. Dr. Na’ana Constantini was asked if lifting could stunt growth and his response was “ Lifting weights is not dangerous for teenagers if done correctly, with weights up to five kilos or so. It can do them good, by improving their motor ability” (qtd. in Siegel). I agree with this quote, but I feel that the weight mentioned is too broad. A weight of five kilos is only a little over eleven pounds, which would be appropriate for some teens, but the limit to lifting should not be set by age but rather by physical maturity. “ The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids avoid advanced use of weights such as in competitive sports of weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding until their bodies

  • Objective Weighting Argumentative Essay

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    Some find that assigning the same event weights to all individuals who check an item might not do justice to subjective feelings of stress that could differ enormously between individuals. For example, some people experience divorce as the beginning of a long period of suffering and depression, whereas for others it marks the endpoint of marital discord and is thus a relief. There have been many debates about the usefulness and effectiveness of such an approach; event weighting could be done either objectively or subjectively. In the case of objective weighting, an expert panel of “judges” may rate the events, or groups of victims might provide information about the seriousness or importance of events. In contrast, subjective weighting refers

    What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
