In the first chapter, we have explained the fundamentals of the present study including current arguments on the notions of sports. To provide a clearer understanding of this study, we will thus discuss a few issues that consistently envelope the discussion of sports studies.

 * //2.1 Important of Sports //**

Sport makes a significant contribution to our well being, playing a role in the development of the society, environment and economy for students. Sports teach students how to make teamwork, whereas they will work together to achieve success in any work and they will speak in front of their self in order to build their confidence (Marx and Engels, 1942). The most obvious important is promotes healthy for students. By keeping people fit and healthy, sport is a form of preventative medicine, physically and mentally ( Elias and Dunning, 1986). Students who are involved in sport are generally fitter and much more alert; this has health benefits as well as helping with the students' academic studies. They will perform better in their examination. When students participating in sports activities increases people’s sense of integration into their local community in both urban and rural areas. In contact of community safety sport reduces the chances of students slipping into lives of crime (Heinemann, 1993). Besides, sport will lesson for life such as when children need to learn lessons that will stand them in good stead for of their lives where sport can play a key role. In short, sport is important to everyone. Millions benefit directly, through active participation. For millions more, the benefits are less direct but no less important.

//**2.2 Advantages of Sports **//

Many students in high school and university want to try out for sports. A lot of them try because they think it will make them popular among their friends and sometimes get them more dates. While this may seem like a silly reason, there are lots of other benefits to sports that your child may overlook. Here are some reasons that you’ll find comforting. It has become so much easier for students to be by themselves rather than going out with friends with television, movies, computers, and video games becoming more and more popular (Jonathan, 1997). Getting students into a sport gives them an opportunity to go out and socialize. While they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to interact and work as a team in sports activities. One of the biggest problems in our society today that we can look is obesity and more students are becoming overweight (Heinemann, 1993). Joining a team sport will help students get out and get some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape. Plus, if we as a student sees that their physical condition is causing our to under-perform, we may be motivated to do other activities to get healthy. By the time students reaches their teenager year, part of good parenting will be providing them with direction and encouragement and continuing to help them develop a healthy style of living ( William Anthony Sutton, 1992). These days, it’s becoming harder to show our teenagers that we love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up to students games, helping students practice, and helping with students fundraisers. These are also great ways to spend time to students and talk to them.

//**2.3 Sociological studies of sport and civilization **//

As early as the 1960s, Nobert Elias and Eric Dunning undertook a preliminary examination of sport from a perspective which is in some ways similar to that of Fiske (Elias and Dunning, 1986).It, too was primarily concerned with issues of sport and social control. More particularly the suggested that one of the main functions performed by playing and watching sport consists in the fact that it enables people generally- 'controllers' as well as 'controlled' constitution of ' we-groups' and their continuation over time seem to depend on the regular expression of hostility towards and even actual combat with the members of 'they-groups'. That is specific patterns of conflict appear to arise regularly in conjunction with the basic form of human bonding and simultaneously to form a focus for the reinforcement of 'we-group' bonds. Conflict patterns of this type are readily apparent in the sphere of sport, for example in soccer hooliganism where, in Britain a number of other countries, social controls have recently augmented to a the level where the relative autonomy of soccer as an enclave for the regular enjoyment of a sports experience has been jeopardized ( Robert Stephen Weinberg, Daniel Gould, 1994).
