Lesson 2: Defining and Understanding Function of Sports

Lesson 2 Wrap Up

 

Summary

What is "sport"? How do we decide if an activity is a sport? In this lesson we began to lay a foundation for studying issues in sports and society. We examined the relationship between how we define sport and how we use sport to support our cultural values.

Check and Double Check

By the end of this lesson, be sure you have completed the readings and activities listed in the Lesson 2 course schedule.

Looking Ahead

Next lesson, we will consider the way sports might reinforce our values. Don't be surprised if you disagree with some, or many, of the ideas in the next lesson. This is an important part of learning and the goal is that you understand and consider these ideas, not necessarily agree with them. The next lesson will continue laying the foundation for the remainder of the course.
