Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Sports has always been a good

way

for enjoyment and relaxation. Nowadays it has been used in more number of ways that just pleasure. it has been widely used as a tool to mitigate problems between two parties in a peaceful

way

by

world

leaders.

Therefore

I agree that sporting

affairs

such

as the football

world

cup and the cricket

world

cup can ease up international

tension

and release the patriotism of the

people

in a non-violent

way

. The following essay would provide reasons for my stand in

this

subject matter.

Firstly

, nowadays there exist very few countries that have peaceful relations with their neighbours. There exist some issues that are dealt with by the national leaders in a diplomatic

way

.

For instance

, India and Pakistan have been fighting for nearly 70 years, be it on the political front in the

world

forum or on the border front, there exists a state of

tension

between these

nations

. Sporting

events

such

as cricket bi-lateral series eases up the stress among the

people

of these two

nations

and distracts them from the issues in the past. With the commencement of

such

events

, political meetings are

also

held to discuss the problems and resolve them in a peaceful

way

. Since the media hypes the rivalry surrounding these

events

, the patriotism comes out of the

people

of these regions supporting their country,

hence

easing up the

tension

.

Secondly

, sporting

events

such

as the football

world

cup bring all

nations

, participant or non-participant, under a single roof. The hosting

nations

also

earn a lot of revenue from

such

affairs

taking place in the country when they welcome supporters from other countries to watch the competition. In the pretext of wars all around the

world

, these

affairs

boost the morale of the

nations

and refresh them to think differently.

Hence

, sporting

events

like

this

bring out peace among the

nations

. To conclude, I would reiterate my thoughts that a famous sporting affair eases up

tension

among the participating

nations

and releases patriotic emotions among the supporters in a peaceful manner. In the cover of

such

affairs

,

people

forget the bitter experience of the past and global political diplomacy among the countries, eventually making the

world

peaceful.
