Russian Popular Culture During The 1980 Olympic Games In Moscow
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. The overwhelming political implications of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games turned this usually festive competition into a bureaucratic battle zone; however, this was hardly the first or last time that international politics invaded the supposed sanctity of the Olympic Games. The Soviet Union had just invaded Afghanistan and as a measure of opposition towards the attack, the United States Olympic team boycotted the event. When the student considers the myriad issues related to the 1980 Moscow Olympics, he or she will want to more closely examine the reason for Moscow's application as a host city in the first place; the USSR's reaction to having the Olympics in its backyard; and how international coverage varied from journalist to journalist, given the press's inherent propensity for misinformation.

Soccer as a Type of Nationalism: International Perspectives, Soccer Fans and National Identity
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 20 page paper discussing soccer as a national identity as portrayed by soccer fans in different countries in addition to national pride and political perspectives. Soccer, referred to as football on an international basis, has become one of the most prominent symbols of nationalism within recent years. Whether soccer teams are representing local clubs, national clubs or are competing on an international stage, fans of the clubs are strictly devoted to their teams and identify with them on a national level. Sack and Seljan (2000) write that “a sport such as soccer provides opportunities for thousands of spectators to collectively affirm their commitments to beliefs, values, and myths than underlie their cultural identity”. In addition to the collective of fans at a soccer match, the presence of national flags, symbols, clothing and colors further unite (or divide in some cases) people who previously were strangers in a common bond of fraternity and national identity. Because of this powerful collective feel, it is not surprising then that often soccer matches and tournaments are used as political forums as well. Politically, soccer matches can be used to unite populations under a single cause or divide nations which may have historical differences. Nevertheless, soccer is overall a positive uniting force in a world in which people may often become isolated in their work or home environments. Soccer is the world’s most popular sport and countries all over the world have used soccer as a way to unite, promote, and celebrate their nationalism. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
