Do you agree with a boycott of the Olympics?
Question analysis on :''Do you agree with a boycott of the Olympics?''
Topic: Sports
Issue: Whether there should be a boycott of the Olympics
Context: Present, countries involved in olympics
Keywords: Boycott --> To abstain from or act together in abstaining from dealing with as an expression of protest.
Stand: No.
Topic Sentence 1: I feel that there should not be a boycott of the olympics because i feel that politics should not be mixed with the Olympics.
Topic Sentence 2: The Olympics should not be boycotted. It would strain relations with China, which is a growing superpower. China cannnot be boycotted.
Topic Sentence 3: A boycott of the olympics will result in athletes missing out on their opportunities to compete in an Olympics which they trained hard for. Olympics is only held every four years.
Topic Sentence 4: If a boycott is declared, it will cost activists whatever ongoing leverage they have over China.
Point: The Olympics should not be boycotted. It would strain relations with China, which is a growing superpower. Today, China cannot be boycotted.
Elaboration: By boycotting the Olympics, it also means you are boycotting China, a growing superpower. This will inevitably anger China because China takes pride in hosting the Olympics. Today, China can no longer be ignored due to its large role in the world.
Evidence: The world needs China to help solve diplomatic crises from North Korea to Sudan, to power the ailing global economy and to help bring stability to its neighbourhood. There are many products that are also made from China, one of the world's largest producer.
Evaluation: Due to the large role that China now plays on the world, (the economy and the stability of countries), a boycott of the olympics will certainly strain relations with China and thus affecting not just a single country but the whole world.
Link: Therefore, the olympics should not be boycotted as we cannot afford to ignore China.
