Michael Sander 's points are well thought out with a world view perspective. In his article, he mentions how society is already in this phase which humans expect more out of others.

Athletes are prominent figures in today’s society, serving as role models for many who watch their every move. For these individuals, their notoriety is tied to fans, endorsement deals and organizations they are associated with, making it even more crucial to abstain from activity that would taint their image. Although it is ideal for them to be seen in a positive light, controversy involving these figures often arises and is not uncommon. An athlete’s actions, both personal and professional, are now inseparable in a society where media prevalence has great influence on their lives. This especially was the case for star athletes, Michael Vick and Tiger Woods, who were entangled into unfavorable activities.

Bornstein provides another fact involving Plato and how he “believed that children had to grow up in an atmosphere of play to become virtuous

Perseverance is the determination to push through the trials and tribulations fate has thrown to test strength. Throughout my life I truly believe I was tested through adversities and my triumphs made me perceive the difference I could make not only to my community, but also to the people I have crossed paths with. Hard work also plays a role in my life as a willpower to pursue higher dreams and to not settle for mediocracy. Being born and raised in a third world country, me and my family didn’t always have everything we wanted nor the opportunity to change our circumstances. Nevertheless, we had each other and we were more than content.

Gladwell brings to light a concept of opportunity, and the true reason why successful people are successful. The story of Bill Gates demonstrates that there is more to success than intelligence and that with hard work and diligence, there are opportunities for everyone to become successful. Continuing, the daily life of children can demonstrate how opportunities positively affect their learning, and their future. Ultimately, there is more than just intelligence than success, and there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to succeed. By comparing “The heavily scheduled middle-class child

Teachers are constantly working to prepare us for the next level. One time in school when my growth thrived was my first few days of high school. In these days, I was able to realize how far I’ve come and what it’s going to take to be successful in the school.

With that being said, it is not only an idea for sports to be competitive, but it is intended for athletics to have competitive instinct.

Many people have a different viewpoint of human nature and during years some people have demonstrated their true human nature to society by abusing their power, but there are always people that fight against it. I have a theory about human nature using the real world; It 's that when power is given to one person, it could be in a family or in a wider range in the government, they abuse from it, but there is always people that fight against this types of situations to help society. However, this theory was meant to be used in the stories “Lord of the Flies" and “The Giver" because the similarities of the setting, mental trapness, and good character achieving their goals relates to it, since Jack and the Chief Elder had the circumstances and the mentality of controlling the peoples actions and also keep them away from society.
