There are many repercussions that are projected upon both men and women when they enter into a sport that typically isn’t thought of as gender appropriate. Some of those cultural and social stigmatisms may be abandonment by your peers, and friends questions regarding your sexuality, and even in some cases criticism as to how you are living your life. In some cases, it may lead to you not being accepted by either group, theone whose norems you are not following, of as well as the one with whom you are trying to get involved. This paper will address all of these issues and how these seemingly negative situations can, will, and are, leading to growth. It will also discuss how this is a situation where repercussions are

In Hochstetler’s article he discusses reason people choose to pray. Athletes pray for various reasons and they do not all pray in the same way. Prayer is a mysterious thing and difficult for some to understand. This leads to tensions with prayer in sports. These tensions lead people to question if prayer by athletes is genuine. Hochstetler concludes that an athlete’s relationship with God must mature in order for the athlete to genuinely know how to pray and what pray for. This article relates to my research topic with the way it explains the relationship between sports and prayer. It explores the reasons behind prayer and helps people understand the importance prayer can have in an athlete’s

I agree with kidder that If we inhabit on the various differences that are among the interpretations of the one being in the state of good life, we are more easily and likely to miss and lose various similarities. With the absence of these similarities there is a chance of losing the confidence that gives us the ability to receive identification on common points towards interest that are more of agreements that are involved and cut across things such as politics, religion, gender, culture, age and even our history. With kidders perspective he noted that there was a rough consensus that didn’t exist on particular and certain issues. He then came to a conclusion that various societies that

Some times the question of “Where is God” surfaces with all the adversities, and I find myself asking “what is God doing for all these people who are suffering?” But however amidst all the issues I know that He is there, and all these problems and conflicts do not change the fact that God exists, and I still have hope for change for these suffering people no matter what the circumstance.

God is not only there-an actually existent being; he is personal and we can relate to him in a personal way” (Alin, 2015).

Within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), chaplains play many different roles. Chaplains are not only counselors who contend with the spiritual and religious needs of veterans and their families, they also aid with the emotional, mental, physical, and relational needs of veterans. Recognizing the aid and guidance chaplains give veterans is important in realizing the special utility they serve.

Throughout Introduction to the Philosophy of Sport by Heather Reid, many issues have been discussed ranging from how mind and body interact in sports, virtues learned in sports and now how sport and education are related. The reading this week seemed to bring many of these ideas together with the discussion of “Sport and Education” in Chapter 12. What caught my attention the most was the viewpoint of philosophers like Plato and Pythagoras who believed, “that students who show character in the pursuit of athletic excellence have the potential to excel in academics” (Reid, 147). Although the stereotype of the “dumb-jock” exists in today’s society, I will argue that Plato and Pythagoras are, in fact, correct in seeing the potential for a positive

From when we were born to where we are now we all have our own story. Do you ever sit and wonder how your story was created? God is the one who started the world and made all of us in his image. If God made us in his image why is it so hard for us to keep him apart of our lives? Without thinking about it we do have that need for God even from the beginning and it continues throughout all of lifetime. Everyone in this world has their own story, these stories often based on who created us and in a way is our storyteller. He is there in everything we do.

     The Government is too preoccupied with pleasing a select few by removing prayer from sporting events than they are with running the country. This is a problem that can be fixed and should be.

As flabbergasting as it may be, the numerous connections between sports and religion is not difficult to see. The first similarity that comes to mind is rituals and ceremonies. Think about how football games are conducted today. Massive crowds of fans join together in their team’s home stadium to cheer them on. The beginning the game is started with a ritual of having a celebrity artist with an amazing voice sing the national anthem as fighter jets pass over the sky and a team of military individuals display a large American flag over the field. This is then followed by the coin toss between the two teams. Sports has also taken on forms of other ritualistic behavior before a game, believing that these rituals must be performed in order to win

In America, despite the number of people who attend church and participate in religious activities, you could assume sports are the new religion. There's the seasonal NASCAR on Sundays and Monday night football, but most sports such as, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey hold their events on any given day of the week. Many Americans arrange their schedules to either attend or watch these events on television. You could even go so far as to say Americans idolize athletes and sports stars, considering the billions of dollars spent on sporting events and merchandise. We?re very proud of sports and proudly wear our favorite team or player across our chests, on our heads, and display logos on our cars and in our houses.
