Olympic Games – how can we all benefit from others’ pursuit of excellence? Why are countries so keen to participate in and host an Olympic Games? How does sport contribute to a country's identity? How do people from other countries benefit from visiting the host country? What personal benefits do people gain from the Olympic Games? How do the Olympic Games achieve their aim of "adhering to an ideal of a higher life, to strive for perfection"? In this unit students will learn about the ideals and goals of the Olympic movement that aim to use sport as a way of striving for a better future for all Humankind. Students will investigate the place of the Olympic Games in Australian culture and also the impact that the Olympic Games has on other cultures. They will assess the economic and social costs for both the host country and participating countries and arrive at their own evaluation of the benefits. Students will also investigate the personal investments that athletes make to participate in the Olympics. They will draw parallels between their own personal goals and the steps needed to achieve these goals.
