Sport and Social Values
What values do we hold in sport today? The values that help build us a people. That we have learned and been brought up with from a young age. How important is it to keep those clear values in your play of sport? Well in this article in the link above you can see the ethics of youth athletes and the impact of sports on todays youth.
Sport
and social values is very evident in sports today, and have been since sports
have been around. Having the ability to know right from wrong on the playing
field, the integrity to withstand from cheating, lying, deceiving, and rule
breaking is something we all have clear set on, but it’s whether we choose to
use them is what shows the type of values we have. Sports usually mirror
society and the types of sport we enjoy. The way we organize sport and who participate
and who does not tell us a lot about what we value. A guide to behavior relies
on making choices, some that deal what we’ve picked up from a social base,
meaning parents, peers, teachers and siblings.
The impact of social media, media, and video games have a lot to do with the way we see athletes
or certain sports teams being portrayed maybe in a negative way, and can give
us a false impression on what is right or wrong in sport. What we see
from experience in education and travel can also influence decisions we make.
