Gamesmanship

In Survey I, 91.9% of the participants reported that they have cheated on at least one homework assignment; however, when asked why they receive answers, 13.5% of the participants stated that they do not receive answers (Appendix D).

role ethics plays in sport & competition. It is important to make distinction between gamesmanship & sportsmanship. Gamesmanship is built on the principle that winning is everything. Athletes & coaches are encouraged to bend the rules wherever possible in order to gain a competitive advantage over an opponent & to pay less attention to the safety & welfare of the competition. Some of the key tenants of gamesmanship are:- 1. WINNING IS EVERYTHING. 2. It’s only cheating if you get caught. 3. It is the

There is much debate in our current athletic culture on sportsmanship and gamesmanship. Stories of scandals seem to make the news headlines almost weekly in college and professional athletics. In fact, a story just broke about the Boston Red Sox using an apple watch to steal signs from the New York Yankees (Olney, 2017). Stealing signs has always been part of baseball but using technology is prohibited. There are numerous other examples of athletic teams bending the rules or completely breaking the

Leonardo and Zaragoza (2005) chronicles the history of Ultimate Frisbee (Ultimate) which feature key moments shaping the sport in the modern era. Using their research, I will focus on the principle of self-refereeing known as “Spirit of the Game” (SOTG) to players and fans of Ultimate. This is an alternative to traditional sports which feature referees officiating matches. As the competitive level and popularity of Ultimate increases, I will examine whether self-refereeing still has a role to play

Situation ethics is more responsive to circumstances and cultural traditions. Actions should respect individuals and communities. Ethical decisions are handled one at a time based on a particular situation. Cons of Situation Ethics Many people believe that situation ethics means no ethics at all because it always “depends…” • There’s no universal truth. •

What Role if any, does ethics play in the world of sports and athletic competition? Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as “the quality of being honest and fair” (Merriam-Webster, 2016), so what does it mean to have integrity in athletics? My response to this question before and after doing my research on the topic turned out to be the same because I believe sports are one of the true level playing fields that are offered in life. I say this because the world of sports and athletics doesn’t

Knowledge is their weapon. Stem cells research remains one of the hottest ethical debate over nations. Stem cells require an honest and a pure answer that religious people have to say regarding when human life begins. Stem cells covered with political gamesmanship, where some government’s implications limit stem cells research. There are many questions remain without answers: Will
