Sports which are violent, such as boxing and wrestling have no place in a civilised society and should be banned. Do you agree or disagree ?
The controversial issue concerning the consequences of violent sports has attracted huge public attention and sparked a heated debate. Some
people
hold the view that boxing and wrestling have negative impacts on the younger generation and thus
should be banned, while others argue in contrast
to that. This
essay tends to discuss the advantages of these competitions and I will explain why I disagree with the former statement.
Firstly
, it is unjustifiable to blame violence in sports for the prevalence of aggression in youth. Because aggression is innate to human beings, we received it from our ancestors who had to endure adverse conditions to survive. Aggressiveness was always present within us, the difference being that it is dormant in some while the rest have already triggered the gene due to environmental factors like fighting competitions

people
who make a living out of it. Every year people
from impoverished families participate in boxing matches to earn money to support their families.
Secondly
, wrestling is a strenuous physical activity. Consequently
, it helps in maintaining a fit body. For instance
, many reports have shown that fighters and boxers are rarely affected by heart diseases. Moreover
, it is effective for real-life self-defence situations. Due to these reasons, it is unjust to prohibit fighting games.
To conclude, there are some drawbacks of these physical activities but these reasons are not enough to take legal actions against them. Hence
, I disagree with the idea of restricting these activities.Submitted by maimunazaman474 on
