Analysis Paper: Introduction to Sport Sociology Assignment
It is often
believed that “sports are reflections of our society.” While this statement is
accepted as true, some would also argue that sports are much more than mere
reflections of society. Sports are social practices that actively influence
what people do and how social worlds are organized. For example, sports in the
U.S. can perpetuate narrow and limited views of topics such as race and skin
color. Likewise, sports also provide contexts for people to challenge and
change such beliefs—think Jackie Robinson and Major League Baseball.
The study of
sports in society allows us to think critically about sports and to work with
others to make sports what we want them to be in our lives. With this in mind,
and based on your sports interests and career goals, answer the following
question: If you could change one thing about sports in your school or
community, what would it be?
