Sportsmanship, Humanity, and Respect

 In every sports competition, athletes must have an attitude of sportsmanship: an attitude of fair play, an attitude of accepting victory/defeat, and of course an attitude of being willing to admit the strengths of their opponents or their own weaknesses. This sportsmanship attitude, in every sporting event, is the most valuable attitude to uphold humanity.

Humanity in this case is an attitude based on conscience not to act cheating your opponent and to still respect tolerance in every match. Athletes who have positive attitudes will certainly raise a high level of respect for others. The attitude of sportsmen with character and moral values ​​that are contained in sports activities as a form of their professional responsibility.

Like what happened when the Tottenham Hotspur F.C. players patiently pass the ball alternately to a child with the assisted leg. This touched the human side and the conscience of the spectators at the stadium. In addition, there were also instances when two boxing athletes were wrestling and one of them almost lost consciousness, but the other boxer quickly helped the boxer who almost collapsed. In fact, he could have won the match, but he chose to help his opponent.

That is why sportsmanship and humanity are needed in shaping the mental attitude of sports athletes. This is an important instrument for the formation of the mental, value, and character of an athlete with great and human personality qualities.

Feminist theorists have expanded the definition of patriarchal society to describe a systemic bias against women. As second-wave feminists examined society during the 1960s, they did observe households headed by women and female leaders. They were, of course, concerned with whether this was uncommon. More significant, however, was the way society  perceived  women in power as an exception to a collectively held view of women's "role" in society. Rather than saying that individual men oppressed women, most feminists saw that oppression of women came from the underlying bias o...

“A Supermarket in California” by Allen Ginsberg

While reading this poem, I was a little confused about the meaning of this poem. However, after reading it several times I find that this poem tells of the poet-Allen Ginsberg's interest in Walt Whitman, an American poet and journalist. Allen Ginsberg wrote "A Supermarket in California" while he was living in Berkeley, California in 1955. This poem is one of Ginsberg's poetry that received the great influence of the American poet, Walt Whitman.
