Socialization in Sport

Every person somehow has to adapt to a sport and the surrounding of the sport. In class on February 10th, 2015, we discussed socialization in sport. Socialization is the process by which we learn the culture of a society. The upcoming World Cup in 2022 is going to be played in Qatar. This will be the first time the World Cup will be taken place in the Middle East. In the article below, it is discussed how the event being taken placed later in the year will cause smiles and headaches. Due to the event being taken place during the months of June and July, FIFA wants to move the event to the end of the year to avoid the high temperature problems that would occur. By doing so, everyone that watches the event will have to adapt to the change, and people who are going to attend the event will have to adapt to it as well. This is a huge example of socialization because everyone will have to adapt to the culture of a society. We also discussed how culture is the way of life of a social group and everyone will just have to adapt to the culture in Qatar, and unfortunately that means waiting for the event to take place in November.
