One of the most prevalent views about sports during the late 18th and early 19 century was that sports promoted unity. The African delegate clearly depicted this argument when he said in his speech “a Sound Mind and A Sound Body”, that sports like Rugby promote a sense of unity and camaraderie. He is most likely saying this because he believes that his country needs to unite similar to a Rugby team (Document 4). Another person that said this was Sir Robert Baden-Powell said that sports teach its players to not think of themselves but of the people around them. Mr. Powell, the founder of Scouting for boys, most likely said this because he is most likely a sports enthusiast who won’t say anything negative about sports in general.
Quayshawn Nealy Date: 10/30/12 Critical Paper Pub The model the way theory as described by the Kouzes and Posner’s five practices of Exemplary Leadership is a perfect example of how Ray Lewis uses his celebrity in a positive way to inspire and help others. Ray Lewis has been an intimidating force to be reckoned with in the National Football League since he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 1996 (www.historyking.com). Lewis has been deemed as one of the best and most dominant linebackers of all time (www.historyking.com), and his records throughout the years justify the previous statement. “Athletes have a unique and powerful position to influence people,” said Mori Taheripour, a senior advisor for sports development, during a panel on Sports & Social Impact at the 2011 Ivy Sports Symposium at Wharton in November (kwhs.wharton.upenn.edu). With the increasing number of fans that tune in to watch NFL games every week, it is no surprise that athletes like Lewis are looked to in a special way by those that admire them, and the fact that most Lewis and other friends in the league choose to do positive things with their fame means a lot to those they help.

Question: How is athletics, in its varied forms, an analogy to life? Use the writings of Roosevelt, McMurty, and Willard to support your claim. The employment of athletics as an analogy to life effectively exemplifies the relationship between athletics and the character on can build through athletics when participated in correctly. Athletics, in its varied forms, is an analogy to life because athletics, when properly focused on, assist in the building of character, a necessity for a successful life. From Roosevelt’s metaphors in the letter to Roosevelt’s son, Ted, encouraging Ted to play football but to be sure not to allow football to destroy Ted’s character, to McMurty’s anecdotes of how success in professional football requires the destruction of one’s character, and finally to Willard’s analogy of learning to ride a bicycle to the increase in the freedom of women, all claim character is the most important trait a person can possess.
Patriarchy is defined as “a state or stage of social development characterized by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family in both domestic and religious functions, the legal dependence of wife, or wives, and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line” (Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language).

Henry Murray’s theory of needs is a well-known representative for the diversity tradition in human motivation. According to Murray, people have needs that must be met in order to achieve self-fulfillment, and satisfaction in one’s life. Playing football fulfilled Favre’s goals and dreams. The need for aggression, dominance, affiliation with his team, and understanding of the game were met during any game Favre would play. There is no question why Favre made the decision to continue playing football in 2008.

In the film "Remember the Titians" directed by Boaz Yakin an important relationship is formed between American football players Gerry Betrier, white captain and Julius Campbell, black defender. Visual and oral techniques used in this film to help convey these ideas are the use of music, costume and close up camera shot. This relationship between Gerry and Julius helps convey the ideas of brotherhood, equality and not to judge people. At the start of the film Gerry and Julius were quick to judge each other by their skin color, they were like enemies and treated each other with hatred. During training camp and being forced to dorm with each other they soon learn to put aside their differences and accept each other.
Historically in Western culture, God is seen as a father figure, and has been assigned an authoritative male persona. Rosemary Radford Ruether, author of Sexism and God-Talk, explains how this tradition has led to a male-dominant society in which women are oppressed.1 She discusses possible social origins, gender biases associated with this patriarchal model, and why it should change. Ultimately she recommends using inclusive language, which involves calling God both he and she, and using analogies that show God as both powerful and nurturing.2 Despite what Ruether proposes, God should not be referred to as a he, or a she, or both, because it is the abstract qualities of God that characterize its uniquely divine and non-human nature. Ruether suggests the origin of God as male could have started with the Nomadic religions, where there was no female role in agriculture, and God was the Sky Father.3 The abstractness of God is very difficult to understand for many people, in an attempt to better understand God and religion, the divine has been given human characteristics that it does not actually posses. These often times not only include gender but also race, even attire depicted through artwork.
