Popular international sports events, such as FIFA World Cup and Olympic game, are essential in easing international tension and releasing patriotic emotion in a safe and peaceful way. This essay will discuss about how international event unite people together.
Why international sports event is so important?
Every four years, some international sport event, such as Olympics and FIFA World Cup, are performed and the athletes show the great performance to us. These occasions have been helpful to ease international tension in difficult time when people, who have power and authority, are controlling the world economy and conflicting over border.
The Olympic games are good example which prove how sports events have positive impact on each nation together even if it’s temporarily. Athletes, who come from countries which have serious issue, have shown great performance to all of us. They forget the difference and the difficulty, focus on the race, and hug each other after the race. The scenes touch our heart. The audience applause and sometimes give standing ovation for the athletes.
2019 Rugby World Cup still remind us as beautiful international sport event. Although every game entertained us, the best one was the final game South Africa won at. In the victory interview, they mentioned ‘’There are a lot of problems in our country. We wanted to win for people in South Africa. We would like to dedicate the victory to change our country.’’
Once they go back to their countries, they may face difficulty. However, they strongly believe that international sports events unite people beyond border/races/religions. If some leaders try to reach agreement to end the disputes via these international events, it’ll be great. Some politicians and high-status people think that they can control people, however it’s physical part only. Human heart never can be controlled. Some people choose important things more than their own life. Many history show them.
In international workplace
In international workplace, we have similar situation. Business beyond border bring a lot of complexity and challenge. The problem is culture and political background rather than language. Therefore, some international event is effective to unite international employees together. According to my ex-boss, the introduction activity in J.P. Morgan was rock climbing with different nationality to learn how to save and help members.
Management team/board members may think that local business should rely on local people, the communication should be enough by online meeting. However, employees are not AI and robot following the instruction completely. To develop global business, some international event should be introduced sometimes in order to unite international employees together. The way is up to you.
