The 16th Man Blog Post

1.) Knowledge issue question: Can sports really change people's minds so drastically as to significantly change the world, or it something else beyond the sport itself?

2.) My CAS activity: World Challenge Ecuador
  
In relation to Mandela Quote: Mandela believed that something like sport could change the world, and it's the aspect of sports that involves people of different cultures being able to work together that is what has that ability. When I go to Ecuador this summer, I'm going to be doing some community service for mentally challenged kids who speak a totally different language and who have grown up in a completely different culture. We will be working together, and will be simultaneously understanding each others' lives better while doing so. In that way, we will be bridging cultural gaps, like the rugby teams did, but on a bit smaller scale.
