Selecting the Olympic Sports

There are 28 sports permitted in the Summer Olympic Games. The list of Olympic Sports has many of the world’s best-loved sports on it, such as baseball, judo, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. This list of sports hadn’t changed in 70 years, and the process for changing these sports is long and difficult.

That is why it was surprising news when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it was studying new sports for the list. At a meeting in Singapore in 2005, the IOC voted on each of the 28 sports from the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Twenty-six of the 28 sports were selected for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which took place in London, England. The two sports that did not receive 50 percent of the votes were baseball and softball.

Because these two sports were not selected, the IOC started the process of voting for two new sports. The five sports to select from were roller skating, golf, rugby, squash, and karate. After the first vote, karate and squash were submitted to the IOC for the final vote.

To become an Olympic sport, a sport must receive twothirds of the votes of the IOC. When the final vote took place, squash received 39 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. Karate received 38 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. It meant that neither squash nor karate would feature in the 2012 Olympic Games. And sad fans didn’t believe that their sports could be selected for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Back to School

For generations in the United States, a nineteenth century invention known as the public school system was seen as the best way to give students the knowledge and skills to become nice citizens. Around the 1960s, experts began questioning the system, citing the need for new types of schools to meet the changing demands of the twentieth century. These reformers eventually won for parents a much broader range of educational choices – including religious, alternative, and charter schools and home schooling – but they also sparked a debate on teaching and learning that still divides experts to this day.

TV addiction

The amount of time people spend watching television is astonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized world devote three hours a day to the pursuit, fully half of their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save work and sleep. Someone who lives to 75 would spend nine years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story, why do so many people experience misgivings about how much they view?
