team sports are better than individual sports

team

*team sports will help you improve skills like teamwork and other social skills.

individual

*With individual sports usually you are part of a club or team anyway so you do have a team but when you go out to compete you are alone.

*Individual sports could help you grow your self confidence because when you win you will be proud of your self for committing to the training and then  going out competing and winning.

*In team sports you have to rely on all of your teammates showing up for training and games. but with individual sports you just have to worry about you and making sure you are going in to your training and putting in the work.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Team sports and individual sports have there obvious differences. so the question is ,are team sports better than individual sports? well i think that they are both good to play i personally enjoy playing almost every sport. but i think that individual sports are the best.

This is because team sports have a lot of factors that all have to go to plan for a team to be successful, but individual sports on the other hand are more about you going in and doing your training, you dont have to rely on other people to be at training. Even though we call sports like tennis ,golf and boxing "individual" sports they aren't really because you have people that you train with at a club or gym, and you probably have coaches as well, but even though you do have a team that help you train you dont need them to be there every training for example with golf you could just go to a driving range and practice there on your own, and with boxing you can go in to the gym and get your training in by hitting the bags or practising things like footwork and other things that you dont need someone else there to help you with.

another reason that i think that individual sports are better than team sports is, in team sports ,especially at younger ages there are people that have been playing for longer or are more talented ,you get the point, there a lot of things that can create a skill gap within your team. This can sometimes lead to the players who are newer and or less talented not being given as much of a big role in the games, but not because they dont want to but because they just get left out. this can lead to some people not continuing to play the sport and quitting.With individual sports there you do have a team but you wont get left out ever because, ill take boxing for example, when you go into a boxing gym you go to the class and you pair up with one of your team mates and you smash out some rounds. The biggest argument is that when you step in to the ring or go onto the court in tennis there is no one else there but you and your opponent so this means that all if you lose you wont have anyone saying mean things to you ,apart from yourself maybe. But usually if you lose your game or fight then you want to go back and fix what you done wrong and then come back better and more prepared than you were the last time you took centre stage.

Overall i think that individual sports are better than team sports i say this because i myself do an individual sport. I compete in mma(mixed martial arts) which is a very physically and mentally hard sport ,i have felt the crazy high of having your hand raised after a fight and finally knowing that all my hard work has payed off and this made me feel really good about myself ,because i know that there was no one better than me in there helping me win ,it was just me but the biggest reason why i think that individual sports are better than team sports is surprisingly, the low of losing, let me explain why losing is in ways a really good thing about individual sports. well when i lost my first fight i had 2 wins before that and that was all good BUT after that loss it felt like a fire was lit inside me and then i never wanted to lose again so it has made me obsessed with bettering my skills and fitness. and that is what i believe could better a lot of people that do sports to give them self something to be proud of ,because they will start seeing changes in their body their mind will be stronger and best of all especially for those people that do sport to give them self a purpose in life is, it give you a sense of self worth and achievement that they have done something

in my opinion i think individual sports are like a drug .BUT ,its a good drug ,its a healthy drug ,its a WORTH IT drug. 
  

National park's & real estate

National park's are taking up valuable real estate and should be cleared for development.

national park's are a beautiful piece of un disturbed nature in basically all countries, BUT, some people are saying that they should be cut down to make room for real estate development.

I think that all national park's should be left as they are because they are some of the only untouched nature reserves in the world. I think that, instead of clearing national park's the real estate developers should try and find different places that they can build there houses, such as stopping people from  being able to buy land and then not do anything with it.

Another reason to leave national parks the way they are is because if we were to go cut down even just two or three national parks in New Zealand there would be a lot of downsides to that. Some of these being native plants and trees are being cleared which for obvious reasons that is bad, and probably the worst thing would be that all of the native animals will be forced out of the natural living environments so that could lead to some of these animals not surviving,if they dont die during the process of the national park's being cut down.

so basically if you would rather have more houses for people to live in then go ahead cut down the forests BUT, just remember , with every tree you cut, every log truck you fill, that YOU are deflating the lungs of our planet, and what happens when our lungs cant get air ?, they COLLAPSE. So if you want to keep our planets lungs pumping for longer. Then PLEASE, dont be that person that everyone remembers for for being rich and cutting down forests. be the person who says no be that person  was rich. Not with money but LOVE,love for our planet and for future generations.

New York-time square billboards

the time square billboards be turned off at night

For:

*I think there would be no positives to turning of f the lights in time square.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Against:

*New York could lose tourism income because  some people might want to go there to experience the night life in New York.

*people that have payed for there brand/company to be advertised on a billboard could be losing money because, people that go to time square at night wont see their billboard and therefor the people advertising could lose money.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Tourism, advertisements, and the billboards all influenced how time square developed. What if we didn't have these 3 elements though? What if the billboards were shut off. New York City is known for their billboards - especially at night time - which is why they should be kept on.

What attracts tourists? The iconic symbols of a city does. In this case, the billboards, the casinos, nightclubs, etc. To get to the casinos and nightclubs, you pass the gazing bright billboards. If they're not there, what's the excitement? Your just driving past those blunt street lights. Or another case, even walking. You'll walk under a patch of light occasionally, and then back into the dark street, maybe bump into an odd traffic light. Tourists want to be fascinated by all of the ideas and colours in every direction. Without them there's no uniqueness to the city, just plain like everywhere else. No billboards, no tourists, less money.

Yeah billboards may cost a lot to turn on, but what's displaying on them? Ads. Ads to your left, ads to your right. It's not just a random slideshow playing, or a movie. Companies pay to get their advertisements put on there, and tourists pay to see the advertisements, it's a win/win right? Everyone profits. What would you profit if you turn them off? Nothing. Picture yourself walking through time square, trying to get around huge crowds at night, except the crowd probably isn't huge anymore. There's no adrenalizing lights glossing in the corner of your eye. It's just not special without them.

When people talk about going places, some people say "well i want to go to New York City to see time square". Immediately you capture a picture in your head of all the exhilarating, appealing billboards. If they were turned off, what are you going to picture? "well i want to go to New York City to see.." to see what? What is going to be as motivating or thrilling as time square lighten up at night. Now when people are talking about going places, New York isn't going to be the place the pops up in their mind. Maybe it'll be Paris for the eiffel tower, or maybe Arizona for the grand canyon. Time Square billboards is what makes it so distinctive.

The billboards should not be turned off. What's the commotion or excitement going to be about? What will motivate people to go there? Night time at time square will be the same as night time in any other place. Keeping them on will continuously benefit everyone.

Should drugs be aloud in sport?

Should Drugs Should be Allowed in Sport 

For:

*athletes could be able to stay at the top of their game for longer if they wished to(without sustaining a lot of injury's) .

*people wouldn't be able to return from injury faster because they will be able to use different medicines to help their bodies recover.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Against:

*some athletes that choose not to take ped's will have a huge disadvantage even if they are more skilled than the other people.
*certain sports could lose some of the competitive feel due to people using ped's
_____________________________________________________
i think that drugs use in sports is a very interesting topic and it has a lot of sides to it. For example one thing you might hear a lot of people saying is "drugs in sports are bad because they give an unfair advantage to the people using them". But sometimes its not that simple see a person could be taking a PED (performance enhancing drug) of other banned substances because they have suffered a bad injury during their training or in their last competitive event.

the first and most backed reason for drugs being allowed in sport is so that athletes would be able to compete at the highest level of their chosen sport for longer. see i compete in MMA(mixed martial arts) and i have heard from a lot of people that have been around the sport for many years that they wish that drugs were aloud, but they don't say this because they want an advantage against their opponents in the cage, they say this because they are only human and they have been competing in a very physically demanding sport for years. So their bodies are starting to wear out and get injured more frequently. So drugs should be aloud in sport because then our favourite fighter or other sport player would be able to stay in their chosen sport for longer and in better health, without as many injuries.

But in sport we all want a to watch a game that is fair, exciting, and competitive, which leads me to my next point which is the leading reason that many sport's brought in drug testing agencies, and this reason is, people that are not on drugs will have a huge disadvantage in their chosen sport because obviously they will not because the people that are using ped's usually have higher testosterone levels which is obviously unfair for men's sport but the people that get caught using TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) the most are female athletes. Some people even use drugs that make their bodies muscle movements more explosive which for a person in a sport like sprinting or mma that is probably the biggest advantage you can have. So if we look at the argument from this point then drugs should not be aloud in sport because people that could otherwise be the best in the world at their sport will just be overshadowed be people that are using drugs, so if you want to know who the real top athletes are? well then join the majority of people and say no to drugs in sport

So now after seeing reasoning for both sides of the story what do you think? do you think that drugs should be aloud in sport, or do you think that they should not be aloud. I think that drugs should not be aloud in sport (at a high level) because as stated above they are just to unfair and even with the current testing in place for athletes many still slip past that and gain that unfair advantage.Do you want to watch fair, and  competitive sport then say NO to drugs
