English Question on The Best Christmas Present in the world
Why do Jim and Hans think that games or sports are good ways of resolving conflicts? Do you agree?
Answer
Hans and Jim, both briefly enlisted as commissioned soldiers, joined their respective national armies solely due to the existence of a conflict. Hans, a cellist, and Jim, a teacher, lacked the experience of seasoned commanders and did not view war as the sole rational means of resolving conflicts. Having endured significant personal losses, they harbored a strong aversion to war and believed in sports as a more viable avenue for reaching resolutions. I concur with their perspective on seeking alternatives to costly wars.
