Joan Beck's View On Boxing
“We should not be making sport out of deliberately trying to do [brain] damage”, said Joan Beck. That is true, boxing is dangerous. However, I disagree with Beck’s view of boxing, and I believe the meaning of boxing is not just hurting your opponent. First, boxers know the dangerous of their sport and they choose to fight. They also receive what they risk for, well-paid. We have to allow people to make their own choice in life. The government should not ban something adults choose to do unless it clearly affects other people. Other sports are also dangerous such as bullfighting, skiing, or climbing – should we ban those too? Every sport has its own dangerous. It just depends on the purposes of the players and the way the audiences see it.

    In 1968 Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley wrote “The Boxer”, a modern rock ballad. This narrative poetry tells the story of a young man struggling financially to make ends meet in a down economy. Like all narrative poetry, it tells a story of true life emotions that people can relate to. At the time, the economy in the United States of America was weak and thus many Americans were struggling financially. During this economic crisis, this ballad was popularized by the famous Simon and Garfunkel musical duo. While the rhythm of the poem is thought to be irregular and repetitive, the emotion it portrays is why it has become a classic ballad of its time.…
