South Africa 2010 World Cup !

I bet you have been hearing people talking about some world cup matches in school or even everywhere you have been to. World Cup is the greatest soccer event where a soccer fans could be looking out for.
World Cup does not only attract soccer fans to stay up all night to catch a match, it attracted students or even the whole family to catch it as a get together thing. World Cup is organized every four year and the venue of the event will be selected randomly. This year World Cup, it was held at South Africa. Due to the time difference between Singapore and South Africa, World Cup matches are shown from 10pm for the first match to 2.30 am for the last match of the day.

Catching all these World Cup matches may cause lack of sleep to students and working adults. This will cause them to have lack of energy and concentration for their studies and work. This is very irresponsible and also very bad for personal health.

Worst of all things that World Cup will bring into the society are gambling. Due to World Cup, the numbers of cases of addictive gambling have increase. Underage gambling is responsible in part of the increase. These underage gamblers may become became addicted to gambling and harm to both the society and their loves one.

World Cup may have brought positive effect/influence to the economy, sports industry and many other aspects. But certainly it did bring as many negative effect/influence to our life. Hence we have to really decide for ourselves on what things are right and what things aren’t. And be responsible on what we should do.
