In a paper of three to four pages (minimum 900 words), create a definitional argument. A definitional argument builds on your work in the example argument as well as description and narration. The topic is basic and builds on the definition of ‘sport’ in the discussion board and the Vonnegut story, ‘Harrison Bergeron.’
The idea here is for you to establish a working definition for a concept that is generally seen as a societal good (like ‘equality’ or ‘justice’ in the Vonnegut story—who would argue that equality is a bad thing?), but that can be taken too far and become destructive to individuals. Examples might include: beauty, privacy, patriotism, faith, truth, and liberty.
You may use any of these words or pick one of your own—I would certainly run your choice by me for suggestions and brain-storming.

athletic activity that requires physical prowess in people, but the word sport will stand for all actions
undertaken for entertainment. A sport is anything that best derived from humanity, regarding social
expectations (Edgar, 2013). This essay, therefore, offers a precise and better description of the word
sport and what it denotes when put into practice.
Sport falls under a general group of activities within the term leisure and conducted during
leisure time. The definition of leisure is quite a challenge since it is influenced to an extent by the
opinions of individual participants. An activity which is leisure to one person may not be the same
to another.
In 1980, the European Sports Charter categorized sport into four different groups
(Downward, Hallmann & Rasciute, 2017). The first group includes competitive sport and games,
which are governed by accepting rules and reactions to opposing challenge. The second category
encompasses outdoor hobbies in which members seek to adventure a particular terrain. Thirdly,
sport denotes aesthetic movement in which an individual responds to sensuous inclination of
