The Importance Of Olympics In Culture Exchange

[Indiescribe]

The Beijing Olympics is just about to start. Do you think that if you enjoy sports, the Olympics is an important medium to learn about another country. Somebody might not have heard about Liechtenstein. But a podium finisher from that country can make someone quite aware from it. So let's let go of our 'patriotism' for some time.

I think that Olympics is important in culture exchange because this is the time of the year where we are gathering together and compete with each other without any harm done on each other like in wars.

Olympics has become the medium to which we exchange one’s culture to the world. Let’s say that your country will be holding the Olympics then this is the time for them to be known and to present their cultural heritage.

Yea, the Olympics is a great opportunity for people to share their cultures with many people around the world. One thing that is nice about the Olympics is that it's hosted in a different country each time it's held. There is always something new to see and learn about sports to customs from the many nationalities particpating in it.

olympics is great because it brings people together. rich and poor, black and white, tall and short, drunkards and thieves..

Sports is one of the greatest equalizers. A sportsman from Papua New Guinea could outdo an athlete from U.S, and do more for cultural recognition of his land than any other tourism brochure.

There are great athletes from every nation and culture and I really think the Olympics is a great way to for us to get to know each other.

Olympics is the chance for athletes to bring some glory for their country. I remember the last time that I watched an Olympic games, the players that bring the most gold get bonus reward money from the government.

Sports & games are not played only to win or defeat.In international level, sport is a medium of cultural exchange.And Olympic is the best example to prove it.Different people of different countries,religions,cultures etc get together at Olympics.And the participants get a chance to know about other cultures.

yes Olympics are important for cultural exchange as almost all of the world nation comes closer to one place for a common cause.
I love any international events which involve international participation.
