Receive Too Many Trophies? How disappointing would it be for individuals to receive similar awards for working extra hard versus normal participation? Trophies should only be given to overachievers or individuals who give extra efforts, not just everyone. One can have the opposite opinion believing that everyone should receive trophies, not just MVP’s. If trophies are given to everyone, it can minimize the achievement and celebration of the individuals who challenge the best. When trophies are…

participation trophies are even important or not, or if we should even have them in general. Well we should, for reasons that might have been overlooked. Participation trophies show a great significance consisting of commitment and dedication, they remind one of an experience or the friendships they made, and they give more meaning than you would think to a young child learning self-confidence. Commitment and and dedication show the growth of responsibility and a participation trophy shows…

straight up the truth. Kids shouldn’t get a participation trophy or awards for sports or competitions. For anything at all. It sends the opposite message to the kids who did try their absolute top game, unlike the participators, mopping around. Like James Harrison says, “I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best.” Harrison’s parenting perspective on trophies is exactly how we should think about this…

Have we gone too far as a society when it comes to trophies, just handing out trophies for almost anything, even just showing up? Are we scared of our kids feeling like losers, so we make everyone a winner? Or could these trophies be an effective way to uplift the kids self-esteem and motivate them to do better? Participation awards can do more damage than not giving a trophy at all. If children or anyone for that matter always receive a trophy regardless of effort or achievement we are…

A trophy is a reward for a specific achievement, and serves as recognition or evidence for your accomplishments. Receiving a trophy has been one of the most special and humbling feelings I have ever experienced in my life. It symbolizes my hard work, dedication, and has been a beneficial memory tool. Trophies can have different meanings for certain people, but with me a trophy symbolizes my long journey to get where I am today. Each trophy can tell its own story, and that is something so unique…

Are people giving kids too much trophies. Lately kids are giving participation trophies for everything. Adults are giving too much trophies because It teaches that losing is bad. There's no participation trophies in the real world. It can also develop narcissistic traits. People are giving to many trophies to children. There now participation trophies for everything, only mildly ridiculous. I understand why they do it, giving them self confidence. Doing it in moderation is fine, but doing too…

Participation Trophies The two differences that are driving these authors apart are their values and priorities. They both speak of the same argument of whether or not children should receive participation trophies. I agree with Lisa Heffernan’s argument because of the different effects a participation trophy can have on children. Can participation trophies make it hard for children to differentiate the accomplishments that deserve positive reinforcements or can the trophies teach a lesson about…

Have you ever received a trophy, but realized you didn’t do much to deserve it? Well, many kids have a variety of trophies in their room, but most of the trophies were given when the children didn’t do anything to earn it. All kids shouldn't get a trophy because it teaches life skills, children can work hard to show the coach they want one, and kids could be able to build their self-esteem on their own. First of all, some people think that, kids should always get a little something for…

competitive activity, they earn trophies, medals, and ribbons. But kids that have amazing top performances are not acknowledged anymore because many programs have begun awarding all athletes even though some of those athletes aren’t top performers. Giving out trophies, athletes good or bad, it can carry out wrong representations of hard work. In this reflection, I will discussing whether or not everyone should be awarded with a trophy. When people are awarded with a trophy, people have a…

idea “everyone gets prizes” in children sports, detracts from the purpose of sports. Many people believe children’s sports shouldn’t pass out medals for only participating within the sport, but they should be rewarded for their efforts and have one trophy that the champions of the league should receive. First off, participation medals eliminate the spirit of competition, secondly it takes away the purpose of playing a sport and it builds children to grow up without different teachings,…
