危险运动应该被禁止
Dangerous Sports Should Be Banned
When we speak of the ancient Romans, we can't helpthrilling at the
slaughter in their arenas which theytook as entertainment. Well, any way,
thishappened 2, 000 years ago. But are modern peopleless blood-thirsty? Why do
boxing matches attractsuch universal interest? Don't the spectators hopeto see
some violence?
It is really incredible that in this age we should stillallow hunting and
bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men
fighteach other in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the
sight of one or anumber of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. People
take part in violent sportsbecause of the high rewards they bring. Spectators
are willing to pay vast sums of money tosee violence. A lot of people are
disappointed if a fight is over in two rounds instead offifteen just because
they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolongedtor
ture and violence .
Why should we ban violent sports since people enjoy them so much? The
answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to
improve himself spiritually andemotionally and this is the 21st century.
Tremendous progress has been made in science andtechnology, social welfare
systems are in operation in many parts of the world, and big effortshave been
made to increase public wealth. These changes have come about because
humanbeings have taken positive steps to change and improve human civilization.
If we banneddangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to
improving mankind. |
