Sports and Culture
It is said that culture is everything around us. It is the way we speak, we dress, even the way we think
about certain topics. The word culture comes from the Latin “cultura”, which means to tend to, to
cultivate. It was first understood as growing through education, but in the middle of the 19th century it
was related to collective customs and inherited traditions and patterns of meanings in societies. All
cultures are different and even in a single country many subcultures can be identified. Sports are a
universal element found in all cultures. They provide young people with experiences, fun, good physical
health, as well as opportunities for social interaction and skills necessary for participation in society.
Young athletes are also agents of change in their communities; they can educate others and inspire
young athletes. When people are engaged in sports, identities and goals are shared. Bonds are cultivated
across racial, ethnic, and class
lines. In this way, sports help human rights to progress.
