Previous to these events, WWE had always been under scrutiny. From the most respectable organizations, their content was deemed violent and sexist (Consoli and Torpey-Kemph, 1999). Also, since Chairman, Vince McMahon jr, publicly stated that professional wrestling matches are booked with predetermined outcomes, a butterfly effect-like chain of other various emerging news stories slowly began to unravel. More of which attempted to reveal further secrets behind the wrestling industry; namely depicting the neglectful treatment of performers. When journalists found Benoit’s story they had plenty of choice on what to blame; drugs, roid rage, etc. However, everyone knew that the WWE must be at fault.…
A relationship is meant for two people only, but some can’t seem to count. In today’s society, there are more people being unfaithful to their mate everyday as if they were never committed to them, and that is just selfish. Cheating does not only affect someone emotionally, but also physically. The pain after a breakup from cheating can make a person have a negative outlook about being in a committed relationship, and this can also stop them from being happy with someone who can not only be a good candidate for them, but also faithful and loyal to them. When I felt like cheating, I would always talk with my dad. He always said, “If you are unhappy, leave that person completely alone, done cheat on them”. (B. Robinson) He was…
Michelle Obama once said, “If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I would not be here. I guarantee you that.” Standardized testing began a long time ago in China. It was a basic form to determine the eligibility for positions in the government of the ruling class. A standardized test is an analysis that is overseen and scored in a scheduled manner. In 2001 President George W. Bush passed the ‘No Child Left Behind’ education reform which expanded the state mandated standardized testing and assesses the schools performance. Standardized testing is not a proper way to measure the abilities of students. Students will take so many standardized tests that they become…
I seek an education at an institution known for its qualities and prestige that allows for its students to reach their full potential. Duke has carried its name for its renown programs in which they set their students on the greatest path of success. Therefore my interest has stemmed from devotion Duke has to have their students excel well past the normal standards of other institutions. I realize that each student has the responsibility to take on the numerous opportunities Duke provides, and given the opportunity I will not take anything for granted. As a blue devil hopeful I would love to contribute to raising the Duke name and work to become another successful Duke alumnus.…
There is a constant problem of cheating in sports nowadays, and it continues to get worse…
In this article, the sociologists attempt to research why there is a predisposition for some professional NFL football players to fall into deviant and sometimes illegal behavior despite their economic well-being. It also shines light on the impact these players have on the youth of the nation in terms of role models. Initial assumptions raise the idea that these athletes transition far too quickly from college life to full blown professionals and are unable to handle the pressures that come with this transition.…
The line that separates what doing the right thing as opposed to doing the wrong thing is often very thin. This line holds a grey area that prevents many things from being deemed as either right or wrong. For example, a lot of times somebody does the wrong thing, but for reasons that are not explicitly wrong. The Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal demonstrates this example well. The Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal refers to the 44 Atlanta schools that were found to have cheated on standardized tests a few years back. Educators manipulated the tests to make the students score higher and were eventually caught. The grey area regarding this situation does not include the cheating, but the underlying issues that led to the cheating.…
Jay Coakley dedicated a whole chapter on deviance in sports and how it differentiates than being a part of society. According to Coakley, deviance in sports affects mostly male college athletes lately because of the talking back they do towards their coaches, breaking violations and rules in the game, drawing fouls on the field and taking supplements that affect their performance. Coakley mentions that deviance in sports can “involves an uncritical acceptance of norms, rather than the rejection of norms.” Athletes often overreach their ability to play and participate in sports in order to pay the price of fulfilling their dreams. In the book, Coakley defines deviance as “when a person’s ideas, traits, or actions are perceived by others to fall outside their normal range of acceptance in a society.” Coakley talks about many different types of deviance, but my focal points are more so on cheating, gambling, and hazing,…

There are several forms of cheating that take place; from going old school and writing the answers on your body; to todays’ technology such as cell phones and cameras.…
Is cheating wrong? To many people it is, and to others, not so much. There are several types of cheating: on tests, people, and even in sports. It's shocking that others do these things, and it isn't beneficial in any way. Cheating is not something that's acceptable. If you have a conscience then you most likely will not cheat, no matter what the situation is because you may feel guilt.…
The forms and causes of deviance in sport are so diverse that no single theory can explain all of them (Blackshaw and Crabbe, 2004). What is accepted in sports as the norm may be seen as deviant in other spheres of society and what is seen as the norm in society can largely be seen as deviant in sports. Only on a racing track can you drive at speeds over 200 miles per hour at high risk of collision, outside the racing track it would be seen as a criminal offence. The social vacuum that has been created around sports is significantly proven to be different from the society we live in day by day. Deviance in sport can be argued, involves unquestioned acceptance of what is termed as the norms, when a social world accepts actions performed as routine and normal.…
