Forging Symbols of Peace
The revival of the Olympic games in the early nineteenth century did much to promote world peace although towards the period prior to the second world war, Olympic games became a symbol of some ultra-nationalistic ideas that contributed to the war rather than prevent it.
Today, the games are often intertwined with politics which is rather bad since the games are intended to promote peace through participation in the games. Countries today often see the nation's pride hinging on their athletes winning medals at the Games to the exclusion of all other considerations. But the Games will continue to remain as symbol of an elusive peace.
