Dangerous Sports

Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays many people are attracted to dangerous sports, like boxing, Kung Fu, or even Skiing in unprotected mountains. In my point of view, this is because of the changes our lives going through during the last centuries.

In the last centuries, there were so many wars and people from different nations were fighting against other nations all the time. Although it was not funny and many people lost their lives in those wars, those wars changed their mental states. Today, we wake up in the morning, go to work in a company or, firm, restaurant, organization or other locations and do repetitive actions every day. And after work, we return to our house mentally tired. Sometimes we need a different activity, an activity that is on the other edge of our lives, an activity that has a little stress, fear, adventure or new environment. For example, some people provide a trip every long weekend to change their environment. Some people participate in some parties or go to clubs and drink every weekend to have a break after one week of work. There are also some other people who care about their health and they go to the gyms for a pastime. But some people like to have some adrenaline, they provide some new conditions which include more stress or fear in their lives. For example, you can watch scary movies, you can also make a scary movie with skiing in an original unprotected snowy mountain. Or even some people want to eliminate their stress by doing active and dangerous sports like boxing or mountain biking.

However, because these kinds of sports have their own spectators, it is known as a way to earn money. So, if you become a professional in one of these dangerous sports, you can earn money more than a regular job.

I myself even do not like to watch these kinds of sports. I like to relax after work and drink a cup of coffee and watch a movie to remove my work stress. Also, I prefer to swim and use sports to help my health not to endanger my life.
