PROS AND CONS OF ENDING THE OLYMPICS: Emily Bradford, Heather Degenkolb and Abigail Van Horn


 * __Cons of Ending the Olympics:__**
 * The Olympics were organized to encourage world peace and friendship and to promote healthy sporting competition for the youth of the world.
 * The Olympics bring countries together in one stand. When the torch is flamed, all the countries are brought together without fight just competition. It's one of the only times the countries are together to do sports in a orderly way.
 * The hosting of the Olympics in Beijing will accelerate the rate of economic and social development in Beijing and China as a whole.


 * __Pros of Ending the Olympics:__**
 * When people enter the competition a few of the athletes in the past have used some sort of drug to have an advantage in their event that they are competing for.
 * Having the Olympics in Beijing, there is more global issues because there is so much attention in Beijing and America are already having problems, so there are more global issues thought the world, if we didn't have the Olympic games, then there wouldn't be controversy thought the countries.
 * Now, China is important enough to host the Olympics, which means that it is rich enough to be criticized. Today, it’s the “Sinefication” of Tibet. But tomorrow, it will be global warming. After all, China is the world’s leading emitter of greenhouse gases. Before, Chinese officials were spared the obloquy heaped upon the world’s #2 emitter, the United States, because they were “developing.” After the Olympics, that argument won’t work anymore.
