People against the funding of high school sports think that parents and society are placing more emphasis than ever before and, “[P]ressures athletic personnel to deviate on winning from the athlete- centered educational and personal development mission” (Gould 1). However, athletes strive to do better in class.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Violent Conflict

    1700 Words  | 7 Pages

In this conflict-themed essay, I stand for the argument that differing beliefs will not lead to violent conflict if measures taken to prevent the escalation of conflicts include negotiation and well planned and executed preventive diplomacy with all concerned parties. In this essay, I will be examining if different beliefs in the form of philosophy – self-preservation and ethnic chauvinism, guised as ethnic tension, will always lead to violent conflict.
