Research Proposal: The Psychology of Exercise
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research
proposal seeking to gain insight into exercise motivation for the purpose of weight loss. It
appears that individuals who exercise for reasons other than for weight loss have far less
difficulty in maintaining their exercise programs. Whether lack of motivation or level of
difficulty are involved is unclear. This proposed research seeks to gain insight that can be
used in practical application, such as approaching the issue with dieters from a different
perspective, perhaps highlighting exercise's other benefits of acting as an anti-depressive.

Review of Michael A. Messner’s Book “Power at Play: Sports and the Problem of Masculinity”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page book review of Michael A. Messner’s “Power at Play: Sports and the Problem of Masculinity”. Michael A. Messner’s 1992 text “Power at Play: Sports and the Problem of Masculinity” is one of the first sociological studies which observes the social role of sports in the development of masculinity and how that role has been affected by the feminist movement throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Messner’s study is based on his interviews with thirty former male athletes from different high school, college and/or professional leagues. Messner’s text is important in its feminist look at the masculinity in sports and in addition to the reinforcement of homophobia which has also been challenged with the acceptance of gays within organized sports.

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. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

Seniority System And Professional Football
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Professional football is not unlike any other large corporation where seniority garners more benefits - both expressed and implied - with each passing year. Such enticements as perks are part and parcel to the big-money component of football; inasmuch as a player is only as good as his talent, its serves as good business sense to use whatever means by which to keep him on the team so the organization continues flowing with money. Players quickly become tangible assets courted by other teams, which makes their value grow even greater with every year they remain in the league, an average which reflects about eight years. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Should Public Money be Used to Subsidize Professional Sports and
Sporting Venues?
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that
both individuals and city governments who are eager to have a
professional sports franchise located in their city list numerous
reasons why public dollars should be spent to entice a team to
come to town or stay in town -- increased employment
opportunities, greater revenue for the city, quality of life
considerations for locals, and, of course, civic pride. But the
question is whether or not tax dollars should be used to entice
teams to locate in a city, build the arena necessary to house the
team, or upgrade an arena or park because the team threatens to
move elsewhere unless the city does so. In a sense, once the city
gets its franchise it is held hostage by it. This paper looks at
several sides of the issue. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
