Most nations are incapable and unqualified to host such a spectacle as the Olympic games. Every country and their presidents strive to mask their weaknesses and show their strength as an international power. The reasons why these peevish nations are bidding to host the Olympics are expressed through their belief and want to announce their arrival to the world stage. What they do not realize is the time and effort required into hosting such a demanding event. For example, in Rio Olympics Cause ‘Real Problems’ In Brazil, Mario Tama writes, “the popular leftist government that presided over its boom years, began to unravel, as if on cue for the big events”(Fortune International). Obviously, Brazil did not have the economic and political strength to survive hosting both the World Cup and Olympic games within two years of each other. It is imperative for the Olympic Games Board of Directors to perform better when deliberating between their choices of hosts. Most countries end of biting more than they can chew regardless of their economic

Unfortunately, the price tag, of well over $10 billion for the event, is adding to the already considerable strain on government budgets in Brazil. Faced with nasty recession, cuts in public services, and rising unemployment, bands of Brazilians, have turned out the protest, what is seen as wasteful spending and misallocation of resources on the Olympics. Throw in the growing threat of the Zika virus, and Brazil may end up with larger crowds of agitators protesting the government than of sports fans cheering on the athletes. Also they would get so much money from hosting the Olympics, along with that they would be better off money wise then before the Olympics were held

The start of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics is quickly approaching. Despite being one of the biggest multi-day events in the sports world for 2016, the games have not been without their fair share of controversy, some of it health related and some related to other issues. Here are a look at just three of the biggest controversies concerning the games.

In conclusion, the Rio Olympics have many setbacks and few little gains. The threat of gang violence, Zika, and human slums are things Rio need to improve on and deal with

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, 3.6 billion people watched at least one moment of the sixteen day event. (Appelbaum) That is incredible to think about but it is also stunning to dig deeper than to just hear the positive numbers that they broadcast on the news. Does the Olympics make a positive impact in the world? With the debt that the host cities encounter after the games are over, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) struggles to choose an economically stable city, and the horrific aftermath of the Olympics in the host city, the Olympics should have a rotation process between five different host cities or the Olympics should be eliminated.

Though most of the population fall in as middle class, Brazil is the 2nd highest consumer of cocaine and has many issues with money being laundered through their financial systems. Currently having issues with the impeachment of its current president and the upcoming Olympic Games, the issues seem to be gaining momentum with the introduction of the Zika Virus. This has also had an effect on the games themselves with fears of birth defects in the future and competitors choosing not to compete. In the boat racing events there are also concerns with the quality of the water as it is highly unsuitable to drink let alone get into it. With an accelerated construction rate, fears are also present that the improvements to support the games are not being completed to code and shortcuts have been taken in the construction of the evet location and competition fields. Some of these concerns have involved a golf course being built on a swamp and now alligators roam the course as well as a bike bridge that was recently completed falling causing two

The Olympic games are a two weeklong tournament where the best athletes compete with solidarity and fair play to develop humanism and respect among every nation. Host candidates are chosen by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) according to specific demands and requirements. Nevertheless, chosen cities are meant to promise their entire commitment and effort for investing in infrastructure, public security, public health and tourism. Despite this optimism, the prevailing concern is that the costs will increase for those living in the host nation, while the mayor benefits will be for the IOC and all the multinational partners involved.

One feasible solution to reduce the amount of teenage motor vehicle accidents is to provide a way for youth to gain life-like experience driving with various, unexpected scenarios. One of the two biggest causes of accidents among adolescents is speeding, which exacerbates swerves and does not allow for enough reaction time. “Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next)” (Singer.) Creating a simulation machine, much resembling a race car driving video game/chair found in many arcades, complete with speed limits and road signs, would help to equip young drivers for the dangers that may arise on real roads. The simulation could be programmed to come up with different obstacles that would require the user to react in whatever way he or she sees fit. These obstacles could be life threatening if presented on a physical road, which is why a simulator has such a high value; for instance, an eighteen wheeler barreling at a car in

In Cade Metz article "Robots Will Steal Our Jobs, but They'll Give Us New Ones" it is explained how robots are taking over certain jobs. Metz explains how by 2025, robots will takeover 9.1 million U.S jobs. One job that is already in progress and taken over for is in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The Olympics - a sustainable legacy or expensive extravagance? Sure it’s exciting, energetic , and entertaining but it’s actually a landmine of corruption, a waste of money, and squander of resources. The Olympics are horrible. Don't believe me? Let me show you the hidden, dark side of the Olympics.

However, the Olympic event can be theorized as one of the magnets that greatly amplifiers both the operational and organizational risks. The Olympic event does generate its own unique set of risks and at the same time in also boosts the consequences and the probability of threats and hazards. For instance, the 2008 Beijing

Before I got behind the wheel for the first time, memories of my father and his red pickup truck flooded into my mind. He used to let me sit on his lap and steer while he worked the gas pedal, and we would just drive in circles for hours. But somehow, it didn’t end up being as easy as I remembered it to be. I thought I was prepared for my first hands-on driving lesson; I had done rather well on all of the in-class quizzes over laws and basic driving information, I knew where everything in the car was, and I had been asking a couple family members for some helpful tips I might need. Unfortunately, all the homework and advice in the world isn’t near enough to prepare you for the first time you really drive. Having a driving instructor with you in the car feels somewhat like being stalked by a vulture; your every move being meticulously monitored as they wait for the precise moment to swoop down and strike when you’re the most vulnerable. By the end of the mandatory three weeks, all the yelling, crying, and the over-usage of the emergency brakes had done more than enough to scar me for life, but supposedly, I was now prepared to go out and drive in the real world.
