some people think sports are important for society, while others believe they should be taken as leisure activities. Discuss both views and give your own opinion?

Sports

are the most essential means to not only to maintain

one

's physical and mental health but

also

it helps different sections of individual from various

countries

bring together with a sense of unity and oneness. A few people believe that games involve a significant role in nation-building, whereas others are of the view they are played for pastimes. In my ,view they, are vital for social development. In the

next

few paragraphs, I shall discuss

both

sides of it and

also

explain which is beneficial for society. On the

one

hand,

sports

dissolves barriers and bind people together. They are means by which different individuals belonging to various sections of society irrespective of their race, colour, culture, religion and gender come together on

one

platform along with cheers for their team.

For instance

, in a football match between Germany and Portugal not only the audience of

both

the

countries

come together forgetting their differences in opinion but

also

the Govt. will try to improve bilateral relations between the two

countries

.

Hence

, relations between the rival

countries

become friendly and cooperative.

Furthermore

, these international

sports

generate a lot of revenue for the Govt. through sales of visitor visas, flight tickets, hotel accommodations as well as tourist shopping.

therefore

, it will benefit a lot to the businesses and eventually lead to the

countries

economic development. So,

sports

are vital for social progress.

on the other hand

, if team members of

both

teams are not playing with sportsmen spirit and each

one

views other teams as enemies and rivals

then

there is a high possibility that fights will erupt and lead to a hostile and uncooperative environment between two

countries

,

as a result

, bilateral foreign relations between two nations are weakened.

Furthermore

, if players are pressurized to win matches,

then

they may resort to taking drugs for gaining timely extra strength and vigour.

Therefore

, it may be not only detrimental to their lives but

also

will be tarnishing the image of a nation on an international platform. To conclude, I agree that

sports

are vital for social development and are meant to promote tourism and act as a source of revenue for the Government.

Nevertheless

, Authorities should promote and ensure that

sports

are conducted in a friendly and peaceful environment.

Hence

, it is appreciated by all audiences of

both

countries

.
