How violence and physical activity are affected with each other
The sources that deepen violence and sports are given by sociologists, psychologists, philosophers and high prestige educators. Since this issue has great relevance regarding what life in society refers. Education is a fundamental method of values and training of people capable of relating and living properly, but sport as great authors and influential thinkers of this century as parlebas, defend that physical activity, games and sports have great importance and are treatedof one of the most efficient methods in teaching and sociabilization.
As has been demonstrated in numerous articles on the subject, a clear relationship of the evolution of civilization and violence is evident, in addition to the fact that violence is a fundamental factor of sociabilization, and despite the fact that it tends to deny, theViolence does not disappear is only transformed by what is inherent in the human being.
This can be observed in the evolution of sports and their values, in addition to the filters of norms and behaviors that have evolved. One of the greatest current sports ideals is Olympism but since history itself has verified the Olympics were very violent, and not only that, but also the rank of tolerance of violence was very high. Sports such as the pancracio was known for its brutality and today it is unthinkable to allow something like that, in addition to the fact that the fighters themselves have decreased their rank of violence and ability to inflict damage.
As we have evolved and our civilization has advanced, you can see a great decrease in violence, violent crimes and the practice and monitoring of violent activities. The combat sports themselves have experienced an evolution towards technical improvement and the development of the most colorful and accurate movements, which supported together with the regulations, the public and the judges and fighters, has managed to make this aspect more value, andThe fighting is stopped if a winner can be observed, so that they have not injured.
But sport can function as a reducing method while as an intensifier method of violence. This is due to the type of behavioral approach carried out by the trainer and how the disciple responds. On certain occasions the one that exercises as a didacta encourages values and attitudes that go against the sport and in case of team sports, of the team itself.
These are individuality, selfishness, indiscipline, both verbal and physical aggressions, lack of empathy, that is, the values in sport can be intensified, reducing, eliminating and creating. And the negative aspect of this is that they can create people not suitable for living in community, and generate violent behaviors instead of reducing or channeling them through physical activity. This was demonstrated by Parlebas on several occasions. But thanks to evolution, we are in a system of values, social and legal, in which this type of behavior is stopped and is not supported but is deeply rejected (Fair Play), and this achieves that despite the fact that theFormator fails to carry out his work correctly, either due to incompetence or lack in that of values, the athlete faces the society that redirects the easiest path to live together and lead a life away from the aggressions and what they entail.
Violence is innate in the human being, it is more it is a type of communication, and a pillar of socialization, since the human being is not only a being that lives in communities but also has quite strong hierarchical structures, andThis requires power relations. Violence is recognized in verbal, physical language, in relationships, we are competitive beings and this requires that. But thanks to the sport we managed to bring violence in a healthy way without serious conflicts and not only that, but we use sport as a discharge atmosphere of the violent and competitive tribal human being, thus achieving outside this scenario created by us, take the day today of the best possible way.
In addition, it can be seen how in countries where violence is more restricted in the sports field, it is where the population most needs their practice and it is resorted to clandestinely, an example of this was the prohibition of MMA’s competition inFrance, declare it as too violent, and forcing its athletes to practice it abroad. Sport releases those desire for direct competition and conflict in a healthy way and it is clear how it affects the population, when living. Since first of all it is also a didactic and integrative environment as a social agent, and this not only requires great importance but is fundamental in the development of human beings.
