Individual greed and selfishness have been the basis of modern society. Some people think that we must return to older, more traditional values such as respect for the elders and the local community in order to create a better world to live in. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people feel that the on and off the field behavior of good sportsmen and women does not matter until their performance is good. Do you agree or disagree? Write at least 250 words with relevant examples.
Do you agree or disagree? 

Professional or personal and  public conduct of outstanding players should be ignored 

Agree? Why do we agree with this  Why should their attitude should not be monitored 

1. They are also humans, and when they face so much stress to sustain their form , they are expected to lose their cool 

2. **They, with their sterling performances, bring name and fame for the country, and also present the society as being youthful and caring for its people. 

3. They encourage and inspire others, especially the youth to take up sports as a career or a way to stay healthy 

4. They are a pivotal factor of a  burgeoning industry that is generating direct and indirect employment and business for millions, besides the revenue for governments 

Disagree? Why do we disagree? 

1. These people, by virtue of being public idols have a profound influence on the attitudes of their fan following which can have a negative impact on those who follow the precedents of such celebrated people

2. Their behavior can affect the overall discipline of team which can hamper performance of others, as well as of team

3. **National image is affected adversely

Playing sports is a daunting endeavor that demands physical and mental workout that sometimes brings out extreme behaviour in the professional, social  and personal realms, and some believe that it should be overlooked if players concerned are excelling.I fail to accede to this suggestion completely, and will share plausible views in the further paragraph.

At the outset, those advocating such liberal approach propose that sports practitioners are also humans with feelings, and sometimes during the game, emotions overwhelm them due to immense pressure to perform and sustain their rhythm despite facing obstacles, which can lead to losing cool. Moreover, they encourage and inspire the youth to take sports as a career, or way to stay healthy, thereby promoting sporting culture in the nation.For example, Brazil owes its popularity of football culture to its star players, and thus affords them umpteen privleges.

  
Having said that, the view of apologists cannot be upheld since these people are public idol, and represent millions of faces in the game, and also influence the aspirations of their countrymen, and thus, unacceptable attitude - whether  practiced while playing, or in social or personal domains - would  create an unprecedented environment, and deliver a negative impact on their followers, especially youngsters, persuading them to emulate unrestricted and unwarranted conduct. Moreover, such behavior could impact the team discipline by bringing negativity that could cost them the whole game: other players would not be able to focus on the winning, bringing bad name to the sports itself. 

To conclude, even if one is excelling in their sporting discipline, their erratic behaviour should not be condoned, by virtue of them being a prominent face in sports that stimulates others to, therefore their inappropriate way of behaving cannot be tolerated.
