Ethics of Sport
2 total works
Sport Culture and Sociology examines the role that sport has played in human society from primitive cultures to the present day. Did sport begin simply for practical reasons such as training soldiers for war, or do humans have a less practical need to play active, physical games? How have different games migrated around the world, and what effect have new cultures had on these imports? Exciting and varied case studies are used throughout this book to illustrate issues and concepts.
The series Ethics of Sport takes a unique, critical-eye view of the world of sport (both professional and amateur), and uses this perspective to explore the many ways that sport factors into our world. The series uses up to date, recent information, current affairs, and exciting case studies, while providing lots of opportunities for students to debate the issues with their classmates.
