Arjun Agrawal Essays

Intro      Hello, I am Arjun Agrawal and I am in seventh grade from Quimby Oak middle school. Today we are debating if video games should being considered  a sport. Unlike many, I believe that video games should be in same level as sports! Body      1. Entertainment/Entertainment           -Sports provide entertainment. The intensity of two teams competing, gives you thrill rides. When your team wins, you feel glorious and finally happy.           -Video games provide similar entertainment. You get the same thrill ride and you feel just as happy when you win. The only difference is, you can do all this from the comfort of your home with opponents across the planet.                     2. Teamwork/Teamwork           -In sports, you have to cooperate with others. In the game of soccer, two people cooperate to evade the goalie and score.            -This is similar in video games. In the game of Zombie Apocalypse, there is an extremely powerful monster at the end of the game.

AGAINST:      1. If the U.S. government acts as an international police, they risk many American lives and resources. For example, two countries have a conflict with each other. If the U.S. gets involved, many American people will die and resources to support the war will be used.      2. The U.S. can never be sure which side to really fight for. The U.S. government may pick the wrong side to fight for. For example, say there is an aggressive country and a prey country. The aggressive country may use propaganda to get the U.S. to fight for them.       3. Acting as an international police makes the U.S. responsible. If anything bad happens to a country, the U.S. is the center of focus. They will blame the U.S. for every problem they have. The U.S. may have nothing to do with it, but they will be blamed anyways .
