Shorty Awards

“Sending him home empty-handed at the end of a hard-fought season won’t help him learn the lesson of losing, it will teach him early that there’s no value in the attempt” (Zadrozny). Prizes such as trophies and ribbons are a controversial topic in society. Some believe that not enough are handed out to children while others believe that too many are handed out. Trophies are a symbol of victory and triumph, but do not forget that children just want to feel part of a team even though they are not good

Betty Barden once said “When awards are handed out like candy to every child who participates, they diminish in value.” Every kid has gotten a participation trophy at some point, or a medal, or even a slip of paper saying “You did it!” But after sometime, those awards become meaningless. It’s an award showing that someone participated in something. Does every olympian get a gold medal? If everyone continues to hand out awards for just showing up, no one will ever have to work for anything. People

Alexander russell Participation trophies can they be dangerous or should we use more of them Bam what an amazing hit. This is what some announcers say, but should they say this about everything someone does. Participation trophies can be good but years later can it be bad. In Betty Berdens passage Participation Trophies Send a Dangerous Message is right but Parker Abate gives good reasons why they help. I think that Ms Berden is right because as a kid I had a lot of trophies

Should all kids get a trophy even if they don’t win anything? This is the question I will be answering today giving both sides. The first thing I have to say is that it just costs too much money to give everyone a trophy. Second kids want to earn trophies not give them handed to them is just makes them mean less to other people. Third I think the people need some let down in their life so they can improve themselves instead of just moving along. So really do kids need to get trophies after everything

how we should treat competition in young people. Is it really necessary that every participant should receive a trophy? Or should only those that accomplished the goal, earn one? In today’s youth activities, it has become an American tradition, to award all those that participate in the activity, whether they win or not. This is perhaps a decision that many have faced, but in reality it will teach the children about life. Because life isn’t always fair, and there’s nothing more atrocious than giving

As these participation trophies are being handed out, children may get very depressed that they did not win the game. These children will quit the sport that they are participating in since they believe that they cannot win, and those participation awards will grow into an enormous pile in the corner of their rooms. These prizes may discourage many of these depressed children, which contradicts the main purpose of the prizes. Uniquely, Merryman continues to proclaim “Research has found that kids with

Should a child get a trophy to make him happy or because he earned the trophy? People are debating whether a child should get a trophy for effort or talent.People are saying that kids should only get a trophy if they earned it. Children should not get a trophy just because they showed up to their game.They need to be the best to get the trophy. Kids should not get trophies just because they worked hard. They should be rewarded for their athleticness. Sports help teach kids it’s okay to lose, they

nothing out of it. Not every player or academic should receive a trophy because failure makes one want to succeed, trophies do not motivate players, and awards are devalued if everyone gets one. Failure makes one want to succeed. As Ashley Merryman states, “If I were a baseball coach, I would announce at the first meeting that there would be only three awards Best Overall, Most Improved, and Best Sportsmanship. Then I’d hand the kids a list of things they’d have to do to earn one of those trophies.” From

participation medals. At the end of the day, participation trophies are passed out like party favors. The value of these medals lessens the value of winning by handing them out to everyone. The purpose of a participation medal is to give a child a reward for showing up to an event and participating in it. By taking part in this action, wining and competition have been completely eliminated from the sport if everyone is now categorized the same. These medals are handed out to children for more as
