Relation Of Tokyo Olympics to Strands of CAS

TOKYO OLYMPICS


CAS:-
C – Creativity
A – Activity
S – Service

TOKYO OLYMPICS:-

  • The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as Tokyo 2020, is an upcoming international multi-sport event.
  • The upcoming Tokyo Olympics is to be held from 23 rd July to 8 th August 2021 in Tokyo.

Overview:-

  • Dates: Fri, 23 Jul, 2021 – Sun, 8 Aug, 2021
  • Location: Tokyo
  • Events: 339 in 33 sports  
  • Athletes: 11,091 
  • Nations: 206                                                                                                                         
    CREATIVITY:-
     
    The modern torch relay was actually originally inspired by ancient Greek drawings and writings of Plutarch. Dr. Carl Diem created the first relay from Olympia to Berlin as part of the opening ceremony of the 1936 Olympic games. 
    Here you can see a clear display of creativity. The famous torch relay, was inspired by, an artwork done with creativity! Its a very vital and important part of nearly every Olympic game. 

    The host organizing committee to add new sports to the Olympic program to augment the permanent core events, these Games will see karate, sport climbing, surfing, and skateboarding make their Olympic debuts, as well as the return of baseball and sofball for the first time since 2008.
    New initiations taken to add a variety of sports to this years roster is a creative aspect. Not just sticking to the original and trying to change things up a bit.

    ACTIVITY:-

    Activity is something that involves the aspect of health, physical well being, etc... So the variety of games that the athletes will take place in are all things that come under the strand; activity. 
    The preparation that goes into the training before actually performing at the Olympics is a form of activity. The fact that the setting up of all the cameras, equipment, landscape, basically every form of work can be called an activity.

    SERVICE:-
     
    Service is like helping someone or influencing another person to fulfill something that is useful to our surroundings, whether it may be people or nature. 
    Entertaining people and broadcasting their Olympic sports for the rest of the world to watch instead of not being able to sit and watch live is a service. 
    Its providing entertainment for us and appreciation from us for the athletes participating to represent their country, and a pride for the people who are watching as well as participating!

    CONCLUSION:-

    So in conclusion, I would like to say that CAS can be found in everyday things in life and can actually help understand and carry out things easily.
    This activity helped me enhance my thinking and understanding skills. The best thing that I learned, is how to analyse things in much more detail, and relate them to real life topics. 
    Overall this activity was quite fun and it was a great learning experience. Thank you!

Vaccine Drive

  Covid Vaccine   The Covid Vaccine is one of the most discussed topics of all time. With the vaccine spreading rapidly, we needed to generate a cure faster than ever. Unfortunately we found it quite hard to do so. Finally after a lot of testing, and lockdowns to protect people the best they could, we had found a vaccine. This vaccine was not of just one type. Many people from different countries tried to develop vaccines and some countries succeeded. However, only one to two vaccines are currently accepted worldwide. This is very inconvenient to a majority of people who need to travel for important reasons, and can’t get across the country. The vaccines were approved based on success rates and many vaccines had similar success rates but not all of them were accepted. This very much affects allot of countries in a bad way. The vaccines used to be free when they came out. But now since the demand is way higher, people are having to pay for the vaccines, which is absolut...
