【作家立場】:對于主辦國而言,舉辦國際性體育的利大于弊。
【思路拓展】 利好的展開:
1. 健康角度:對于舉辦國而言,國際性體育比賽的主辦會激發(fā)全民健身熱情,提高國民基本素質(zhì)及健康指數(shù)。2008年北京成功舉辦奧運會,就是很好的例證。
2. 教育角度:競技體育比賽中傳遞的精神對于民眾有教育意義。例如,不斷自我超越、不懈追求完美、團隊合作精神等。
3. 經(jīng)濟角度:對于舉辦國家而言,這是一個很好的盈利契機。例如,門票收入,紀(jì)念品銷售,旅游收入,贊助商收入等。
4. 文化交流:舉辦國際體育比賽可有助于文化的多元性以及增強各國的交流。
5. 心理角度:這是激發(fā)愛國熱情及增強民族的自豪感的契機。
【思路拓展】 弊端的展開:
1. 經(jīng)濟角度:舉辦國際性體育塞事是奢侈的行為,我們有更加緊迫的民生問題需要政府優(yōu)先考慮,因為有限的資源和無限的民生需求是矛盾的。
2. 環(huán)境角度:大量的游客的涌入會破壞當(dāng)?shù)氐淖匀画h(huán)境,這會給當(dāng)?shù)厝说纳顜頍?,給主辦國帶來壓力。
