  3. By Stopping any feuding or major fighting i.e. Wars, Everyone can enjoy playing a game outside instead of having the condition "You might die if you go out and play" It brings out the best in people even if they may not be in the best of situations.

  4. Instead of fighting on the battlefeild they could show who is more "superior" by having competitions of strength and skill, not just massacring people. There is still that satisfaction of winning but in a more peaceful manner.

  7. Athletic competition creates conditions for peace between different nations by bringing everyone together. Almost everyone participates and people even have meals together. Eating a meal together is normally something you do with friends or family. This then creates a time where people bond and compete against friends. The bystanders of the Olympics speculate and enjoy with everyone else.

  8. Athlete competition can create peace between nations because one common interest (sports) can bring people together forming bonds and friendly conversation (forming peace and serenity)

  10. an athletic competition allows people to relax more from fighting and instead use sports to try and one up a country. but, it can be a lot more fun for people because nobody is really trying to hurt anyone else, they're just trying to have fun or win. but it could be peaceful.

  15. An athletic competition like soccer helps people get out their aggression and energy, but also see each other in a different way, as teams. It distracts people and makes people think in a strategic way about a sport instead of a war.
