The very purpose of my topic is to make the district to see that boxing is education and a healthy way for young teenage because most teenagers are getting in trouble from not understanding why they can’t fight. I guarantee many student will sign up because many teens at the ages 10-18 teen, they’re always like to fight with other students. I want to show and proof to the district of California that boxing isn’t that much violence as seen on T.V. Not only boxing is not much different from school activities as wrestling, football, and soccer but it also have the similarities injuries in a sport. Why doesn’t the school district allow boxing as P.E.? Boxing is history, it culture, and most of all is healthy for all the students because it will help them by having confidence, courage and increase their intelligent. The ancient Greeks were like the first who had invented fist fighting which became boxing because …show more content…
“The connection between art and boxing is a real one. Aesthetics? After all, begins and ends with the human body--and boxing marks an extremity in the life of the body”(Boxer: An Anthology of Writings on Boxing and Visual Culture).With an epic history as old as civilization itself, and a set of rules that ensures its purity, it is one of the most beautiful sports in the world. While some will classify it as barbaric or brutal, boxers and boxing fans know that this sport is a dance and an art, differing very little from an art form like ballet.
Why does the school think boxing is too violent to be taught in schools. The district of California think that the sport only cause more violence in school. According to the boxer George Garrett said: "Many good and experienced fighters become gentle and kind people. They have the habit of leaving all their fight in the ring"(GQ prizefighter). Instead making the student more violence they become more
“It 's important that athletes can compete on a level playing field. And youngsters coming into the sport can know that if they are working hard and training hard, they 'll see a true reflection of where they stand and what they can achieve worldwide and not be swayed by people who are cheating.” This was said by Paula Jane Radcliffe, a long-distance runner and Olympian. Cheating in sports is considered to be immoral. In sports there are many different forms of cheating. Whether it is illegal taping, bribes, or foul play, it is never the way to go. Undoubtedly the most extreme and controversial form of cheating is through the use of PEDs, better known as Performance Enhancing Drugs. There are many different types of Performance Enhancing Drugs. The two most popular being anabolic steroids and
“The NHL (national hockey league) is not in the business of comforting people, they’re in the business of entertainment, and if fighting represents a way to differentiate themselves from an entertainment stand point, then fighting isn’t going anywhere” In the 2014-15 season 1,230 games were played, and out of those games 391 fights were in action. 29.91% of games had fights, 45 games had more than one fight. Taking fighting out of the game of hockey is too big of a risk. I think the fans will be disappointed and the entertainment level will go way down. In my paper I’m going to write about why fighting in hockey should stay and why people think it should also.
The liberty of an individual in sport is the number one value that should be respected to make boxing morally adequate. Autonomy should be respected in sport because ones body should always have freedom from external control and influences. All arguments for paternalism can be explained in a justified way to prove that boxing is unethical and unsafe, but this does not mean that paternalism is the best way to bring about safety in boxing. If boxing were to be banned, violence would become more prevalent outside of sport, and proper boxing technique and skill would slowly disappear. Keeping boxing as a sport will create a safer environment for this type of activity to occur, and also create a fair ground for each sport that involves violence to stay available to athletes. Because boxing does involve violence, this does not imply that it is immoral to participate and that the freedom to participate should be taken away from athletes. Boxing provides a safe environment, a place to create a career, and is an institution for sporting entertainment. By allowing boxing as a sport to continue, this will create a safe and fair atmosphere with the freedom to allow all individuals to participate with proper
Bodybuilding is a sport that tests both the body and the mind. For thousands of years, people have used it. However, only for a little over a century has it been popular. A big question asked by many in the sport is, how much has bodybuilding really changed from the silver era (the 1940s)? The answer is a lot, since the 1940s many changes have occurred. Some of these are steroid abuse, competition categories and ranks, and money (Robson). Modern-day bodybuilders have incredibly large “stacks” (slang for the steroids they use on their cycle), more opportunities to compete than they did in the 40s and even more ways to market for money. The sport of bodybuilding has been around for thousands of years and has changed more than ever in just

In the words of one expert, “Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.”According to this view, it’s important to be dedicated but also have pride in what you do best. Ultimately, BodyBuilding is the best career choice at this

Student athletes live very busy lives. A typical school day runs from 8:00-2:30, add in a two- hour practice or game, score a part time job, dive into some family time, a grand slam of homework and catch a little bit of sleep. Students are more stressed due to the many activities they are a part of. This issue affects a lot of people not only in this school district, but most other high schools throughout the country. All student athletes exercise more than other children who are not involved in an extracurricular sport. In school athletics, the players are called “student athletes” meaning that school activities come first. There are strict rules for student athletes, not only on the field but in the classroom as well. In physical education
to all that is barbarous in man”(11). In conclusion, a ban on boxing is not only illogical, but impossible! In my mind. if you want to minimize the number of actual life-long injuries related to. sports, you would be better off coming up with elaborated rules for motor.
A fighter punches to hurt and disable his opponent. Gloves are worn to protect the fist, not the brain. Some fights are such patent mismatches that the crowd is not paying to watch a competitive battle; its paying to watch [ a blood match]”(Hauser,6). Ever since C.T.E. was discovered, many have wondered if boxing should be banned due to the dangers involved. Many came to its defense saying that there are deaths in other sports as well; if there are deaths and risks in other sports, why should just boxing be banned? But why fight? Why risk death or serious mental injury? Thomas Hauser asked a couple retired boxers to find out. Some of them do it for the money, while others do it for the fame. The up and coming boxers recall going to the gym with a trail of kids behind him, offering to carry their bag; admiration twinkling in their eyes. Maybe some of like to fight because they are good at it. Everyone wants to be good at something, some people are just good at punching people. Others do it because they feel like they are someone, they matter. It is the first time that people notice them as a person and are interested in what they have to say and who they are. “It makes me feel big”, says middleweight champion Vito Antuofermo. He goes on by comparing bringing the most beautiful girl to the school dance and feeling
Some schools force students to participate in organized school sports. However, I believe that schools should not make this a requirement. Some students may have medical conditions, family situations that don't allow them to participate in organized school sports, or they simply may not have the time.
A lot of people can call me insane, but I love working out; I also love nutrition—most of
In addition, the players are influenced by these kinds of violent sports. Not only that, but also the spectators affected them indirectly and let them have tough hearts. Moreover, adults as well as young children, imitate the actions that appear in these sports. Besides, statistics estimate that around 15000 deaths take place every year because of viewers imitating the athletes of boxing. Further, watching these sports several times unconsciously can affect the psyche of the children which eventually reflect in their attitude in their social environment.
Think of a world where every decision was made entirely by yourself. Think of a world without a government looking out for us and steering us in the direction that is best for us. A World like that would be utter chaos, but we might be closer to it than you may like to believe. Americans like to blame the government for their problems, but in reality they won’t even allow the government to step in and fix simple problems such as obesity in America. Americans would rather refuse help from the government, on the grounds that it takes away from their free will, when it would only take the government 3 steps; regulating the meals of the children in America, Keeping Kids Active, and providing Alternatives to the Fast Foods Restaurants to the General
"The goal of discipline should be about helping the child learn to differentiate between good and bad behavior."(Kennedy, Adrienne A. "Discipline of Children." Salem Press Encyclopedia, 2014.) This goal is met in a variety of different ways. What's considered the right and wrong way to discipline can be debated depending on where you live. But what's the best method to discipline your kids? As you read you will learn of different types of discipline, and their effectiveness on children.
Violence in schools is a huge problem. It is estimated that in the U.S. about 50 million students are enrolled ranging from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade (Ten Hard Facts about School Violence). School is meant to be a safe haven for children to come and have the opportunity to learn. Violence can inhibit this learning and can even leave children scarred from their experience. School violence includes victimization, teacher injury, bullying, school fights, weapons, and student use of drugs and alcohol. The area is not limited to the campus and also includes walking to or from school or a school event (About School Violence).
