Whether to award participation trophies or not is a big controversial issue in America today. However, most people are in favor of not awarding participation trophies to children because it does not teach them a life lesson. A solution to solve the problematic are to ensure both the winning and losing team a trophy. However, when both teams receive a trophy this defeats the purpose of even playing the game. Children are smart enough to know if they won or lost a game, and by letting each team…

they are being held accountable for something that is not real. DPC should look to attaching awards to these points as soon as possible. DPC had suggested three awards based on points accumulated. These are as follows: invite top FSE to annual sales meeting held in Hawaii or Arizona, awards plaque, monetary awards and/or mention in the service newsletter. We believe that implementing some sort of monetary award combined with recognition will be the best alternative. Employees have responded well…

Participation Trophies Hinder Kids "If I play a whole game I get a whole snow cone, but if I play a half a game I still get a whole snow cone. It's a whole snow cone either way. I'd rather play half a game." This quote is from one of Brian Regan's performances, "Lousy in Little League", where he talks about the new social norm of rewarding children for participating. While Brian Regan is a comedian, and this was meant to be funny, it does have some truth. Just as Brian Regan said, children…

bad habit of not seeing a point in trying or being motivated without a something to award them with afterwards. Participation trophies are crutches that have begun to take over the minds of those competing. Trophies are made to have a meaning. It is stated that, “Participation awards are place holders in life. They are records of accomplishment” (Priceman). At a young age, many kids see a participation award as a prize of what they have overcome. It motivates them to continue trying, however…

they played. Ashley Merryman, author of Top Dog: The Science to succeed. Instead, it can cause them to underachieve” (n. pag.). Giving children participation trophies indirectly teaches them that even if they do not succeed, they will be given an award or prize.

Because they received trophies for essentially a parent’s ability to sign them up, children will eventually develop a sense of…

Did you know trophy and award sales are now an estimated 3 billion-dollar-a-year industry in the United states and Canada? This is because trophies have become a bigger thing than a while ago. If everyone gets a trophy for just participating, Yes kids get to many trophies for just participating because if everyone gets a trophy, they will lose their meaning, and if everyone gets a trophy kids won’t know how to fail. If too many kids get trophies, they will lose their meaning. According to…

things that award your for working hard and winning something. Some think though that participation trophies are necessary for kids to gain a sense of hope which is wrong to do because things like this won't happen in life and will give them a false sense of hope and security and won't help them learn that for some things in life you might lose and not receive an award. Participation trophies are unnecessary and need to be stopped because they give kids a false sense of reality and awards them…

When a child gets injured it is really scary. When it occurs in an organized sport that is supposed to be a safety haven for an enjoyable activity then it can be a tragedy.

Children or teen-agers that get injured while playing an organized sport may benefit from rules and regulations that are designed to protect players.

known as ‘eSports’, but I would argue that it qualifies as a regular professional sport due to demands on the human mind and body, the viewer base, and player as well as team sponsorships. “But they’re sitting down!” you might say, “its just a game!” you might say. But rowers sit down.…
