    In Mark Edmundsons article “do sports build character or damage it?” Edmundson makes a very good case that supports his idea that sports can build character. He also gives good reasons as to why some people think that sports just breed brutality, and are a diversion from the business of education. Sports are a complex issue, and this article proves it is clear that we as a culture are unsure how to think about them. Edmundson goes on to tell about when he was a young man in high school, and his first year playing football. Football is a dangerous sport, and he tells of how many people get injured, whether its from concussions, broken bones, or…

    Football, as well as rugby and soccer, is believed to have originated from an ancient Greek game known as Harpaston. Harpaston is mentioned quite frequently throughout classical literature, in which it is referred to as a “very rough and brutal” game.

The only objective of the other team was to stop the ball from crossing their line, by whatever means possible. There was no specific field length, no side line boundaries, no specified number of…

The Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. constitution took away the license to do business from the brewers, distillers, and the wholesale and retail sellers of alcoholic beverages. The leaders of the prohibition movement were concerned with the drinking behavior of Americans and made an attempt to improve the country. Unfortunately, they were about to discover that making Prohibition the law had been one thing; enforcing it would be another. Therefore, causing a major problem in the United States. The result of prohibition led to higher…
