10. Bill Beausay, a sports psychologist, suggests that sports be rated much as films once were: X, R, or G, depending on the amount of danger and/or violence in them. He urges that children not be allowed to take part in any X-rated sport at an early age. Such sports include motorcycle and auto racing, hockey, football, boxing, and horse racing. 14 Decide whether his suggestion has merit. Be sure to avoid resistance to change.
11. Decide whether you accept or reject the following arguments. Be careful to avoid both "mine-is-better" thinking and the errors discussed in this chapter and to judge the issues impartially. You might want to research the issues further before judging.
Beer and wine commercials should be banned from television because they glamorize drinking, leading people to associate it with love, friendship, and happiness. Such associations are every bit as misleading as those used to sell cigarettes. Alcohol commercials surely are a contributing factor in the current increase in alcohol abuse by adults and children.
Beauty pageants today give somewhat more attention to talent than pageants did in the past. But the underlying message is the same: "Beauty in a woman is strictly a surface matter. Only those with ample bosoms, pretty faces, and trim figures need apply." These pageants make a mockery of the truth that inner beauty, character, is the real measure of a woman (or of a man).
Background note: One reason the court system is clogged with cases is that prisoners are filing what some regard as frivolous lawsuits against the state or federal government — for example, suits claiming their rights are being violated because the prison food doesn't meet their dietary preferences. Law books are available in the prison library for prisoners to use in preparing their lawsuits.
Argument: Frivolous lawsuits clog the court system. The availability of law books in prison libraries encourages prisoners to file such suits. Therefore, law books should be removed from prison libraries.
The duties of the president of the United States are too numerous and complex for one individual to fulfill, so the office of the presidency should be changed from a one-person office to a three-member board.
