The Olympic Games were created to wish for the young people to be the one who is harmonious through the sports and lead the harmonious lives. In the Olympics Games, there are no discrimination of the gender, the class and the nationality and the race, and many events are taken place in one sports festival.
The slogan "Faster, Higher, Stronger. " means that we should make an effort to complete ourselves, without the comparison to the other people, focus on ourselves, with the standard is ourselves. This word was created by Anne Didon in Dominico, the principal of the high school, and this words were said in 1891 as the school motto.
According to IOC, the three values of the Olympic Games are Excellence, Friendship, and Respect. These words mean that the young people are required not only to understand these words in their minds but also to act by their own actions.
The core of the Olympic Games is the sports, but around it there are wide range of the world, such as the nation and international problems, journalism and the doping.
According to Allison Cryer, the Olympic Games are not only the competition among the athletes, but also among people all over the world. The Olympic Games brought the world the unity, because of sharing the change to help each other, both among the countries and the athletes. In this time we can take root for the unity without the hate or the violent actions.
Also, Olympic Games brought to the safe place. Through the Olympics, we can compete through the sports and even if the team lose, the members of the team can congulatulate the winners without violence.
Furthermore, through the Olympic Games, we can try to do anything to reach our potential as much as we can. After we watch the competition of the sports and the athletes who are trying to achieve their goals and to exceed their potentials to win the game, we can think that we should try to push ourselves to be able to do something which we cannot do and to be beyond our potentials.
Through the Olympic Games, we can have the power to try something we cannot do now and create the safe world and the unity between the people all over the world.
I trust these two pages.
As for the pages written by Junko Tahara, the professor of Kokushikan University, I thought that the history of the Olympic Games and the meaning of the Olympic are clearly described in detail, so I could not use all of the information on this blog because there are much information which I want to use in this blog. Also, this page was easy for ordinary people to understand.
In terms of the second article which is written by Allison Cryer, I think that this article decribes the right opinions of the Olympic Games and we can understand the hope for the Olympic Games traditionally easily.
I thought that through the Olympics, I want to think about the world peace and world unity as Allison Cryer said in the article. We should think about the peace and unity through the Olympic Games and the athletes who are competing through the sports, without the violence and the hate. Olympic Games also tell us that the effort to do something will reach our goals and perhaps, beyoung the potentails. So we should protect the wonderful tradition of Olympic Games, to hope for the world peace, the unity with people all over the world and the great effort to try to do something....
