What does

Short essays written by the students on the project team.

Sport is good example for this topic. What is fair and what isn’t? Sportsmen should be polite, honest, helpful and fair, but most of them are not so good – doping, commercial sports, cheating. Nowadays the biggest problem is doping. Sportsmen use doping because of better results. It isn’t fair for other who doesn’t use doping and play fair and train harder. They can’t success and after that they don’t want to be good or they finish their career because of unfair sportsmen. Fortunately there are people who want to fight against doping and sportsmen who are using that. Olympic Games are the tournament of great sport actions and also doping scandals. I don’t know why but some of sportsmen think that they can use doping and that nobody will know about that. They destroy the spirit of games. The Russian in cross country skiing took doping on Torino Winter Olympic games this year because of winning. Yes, she won but after that she had to return medal. It is fair that Katerina Neumann has got the medal later but she couldn’t be at the official ceremonial.
Other view of sport: The reason why we do sport is fun. But today sport is more commercial for example football. Managers or bosses of big teams give bribes to referee. It isn’t about good team, good strategy or good preparing and of course it is not fair. They are not fair, they want to win easy. The bad point is that money wins games. The most medial sports are football and ice-hockey. I can watch just football or ice-hockey on TV. Why, because TV organisation and bosses of big clubs will earn more money. Unfortunately people like that and this is the reason why. I would like to watch other sports, sports which are not so commercial because I can see people who play for fun and they like it. This is game what I like.
Sportsmen should do sport for fun and enjoying it. Every sportsman should respect rules and keep them. They should help other when they injured during competition, do everything for good spirit of sport. It is fair if the opponent fall down and I’ll help him. It’s fair if I do mistake, I’ll be the first to divulge the breach.
I am a captain of Czech junior curling team. In my opinion curling players are the most honest sportsmen. Every times when curlers start match they shake hand themselves and say: GOOD GAME! A good curler never attempts to distract an opponent or otherwise prevent him from playing his best. A true curler would prefer to lose rather than win unfairly. This is playing fair for me. This is why I do this sport and I think this is generally rule of all sport.
There are two types of sportsmen. First type plays fair and wants to enjoy the game. And second who doesn‘t respect any ideas of sport. I think curling is very good example for each other. Respect opponent, make fun and make friends. It is fair.

Most of people in Czech republic have basic or medium education, so they have a lot of experiences with homemworks, teachers and unfortunately, with cheating too. Is necessary to cheat? That is very important question, but nobody knows the answer. In my oppinion none of students play fair, because we are just humans. We have fears, wishes and ambitions. We all try to do our best for our future.
Our parents wants us to have a good rating, and the most important rating is coming from tests. Some people learn a lot, but finally they get five. Why? Maybe they are dull or they are nervous. Who knows? But these persons often cheat and they feel no shame. If teacher don’t catch them, they will be happy. But do they have a reason? They know almost nothing after the test. So why they are at school, if they don’t want to learn something? On the other hand I feel with them. I know this type of people. They aren’t lazy and sometimes they get a good grade without crib. Their problems come from homemwork.
Teachers take homemwork to us, because they want us to practise cirriculum. Sometimes they take homemwork because of anger, sometimes because they enjoy it. I have nothing against homemwork, but so many homemwork lead to bad graces. If I have so many homemwork, I won’t have enough time to study. Many students find a solution- they do homemwork at school. That is a worst thing what they can do, especially if they have enough time to do it at home. I do my homemwork at school only in an extreme situations, for examle when I forget it. But I often don’t play fair, too. Some people always want my homemwork to copy it. I can’t say no.
The most complicated relationship is among students and their teachers. Many students think that teacher is only machine which takes them bad graces and enjoy it. That can be true, but teacher is only human, like you or me. Teacher has emotion, he can be angry or happy. Teachers propably think that they shoul be proffesional, but some of them can be friendlier, too. In my oppinion there are three classes of them. First class is proffesionals. They are strict and uncompromising, but respected. In second class are tedious teachers. Students don’t understand them, so they have no respect. Third class contains good-natured teachers. They are friendly and students like them, but they don’t have as respect as proffesionals. When we have bad graces, they’re disappoint. They can shout on us, too. Why they do that? Maybe they want us to study more. So theydo that, because they try to provide us the best of knolidge ( Yeah, yeah, I don’t believe! ). That’s true. We should play fair with them and they should play fair with us. Students shouldn’t fool teachers with cribs or copying tests. Now teachers. They shouldn’t be dirty on students and asign tests without report. If everyone follows this instructions, everyone will be much more happier!
I have visited school for eleven years and I learn a lot. I saw many incompetent teachers, a lot of dull students and so many cheating and anger, too. I hope that time has been useful for my future, but I have the worst memories from that. Everyone has his own conscience, so he must deal with it. My conscience is almost clear. I don’t like cheating, so I don’t like to help persons, whitch cheat. But I do that, because that persons are my friends and they will help me, if I am in need. In this example you can see that cheating is global problem, which can cause just one person. Society can’t force people to stop cheat. It is only ethic code. As I say, you must deal with your conscience.......

For somebody „Play fair“ means that all people play by rules, don´t cheat and help other players.
All the people should protect and help weak and old people.
They shouldn´t lie but should be sincere.
They should be considerate, e.g. Everyone should leave his/her place in the bus, train or tram so that elderly people can sit down.
Especially young people should respect old and weak people, because they can be ( and we, authors, think they´ll be ) old and weak in future, too.
The people shouldn´t quarrel if they know they aren´t right. (they don´t tell the truth).

I think, that our society suffers from many problems. There are many things which aren´t fair play. Many people follow only own your way to top and they be able do everything for it, they don´t look around. They don´t aware, that other people perhaps didn´t have same chances, possibly only therefore that they have different skin color, sex, religions and so on.
For example people in advanced countries waste energy, buy things which aren´t nesessary for them and so burden nature. On the other hand people in poor countries have problems with own survival. They haven´t got enough drinking water, medical care and live in inhuman conditions and they are afflicted by many diseases. Therefore, they, according my opinion, often try to escape out of reality simply method of solution is religions, but there is next barrier which leads to lack of understanding and conflicts.
I think, that first step, which is it able to something do with national and religions problems, is education. Only if people know other culture, they can understand problems these people. And for that reason, everybody, all people all over the world, should have same conditions to education. They also have a good motivation or some rewards for good results. Schollfee would have been dull and state should have more support schools and universities.
Exept these problems, that the largely relate with poverty, our society suffer from next ones, which are concerning to coequality among men and women. Position women in society isn´t fair play. Women give less money from same work like men, they aren´t so often in leadership positions and in politics. And in some countries they haven´t got same conditons to education. They are handicaped because of is expected, that they have to carry out mothercraft, but this thinking is unwarranted and discriminatory, because of parental duties could carry out both parents. Except this, women have different opinions of different problems and things could solve more effectively and simply.
Of course, that sociely problems develops and changes all the time, but many of them repeat repeatedly. This is signal, that we make same mistakes and that we don´t instruct from history. Many problems are also making artificially without real reason, but if it this problems don´t have real reason – remove are difficult. Therefore, it is nessesary give power to real problems and don´t make new artificial ones.

In this essay I will talk about being fair at school. I will say what I think about fairness at school and how teachers and students should act.
In my opinion being fair at school is behaving like people expect you to behave. At a school there are certain rules that teachers and students must follow.
Let’s start off with the teachers. In my opinion teachers should be fair in evaluating students. Sometimes teachers have favourite students or they give students a higher mark because they like them more than others. They try to be popular with the students and this is not what I call fair. The only thing teachers should pay attention to are the behaviours of the students and their real marks.
But not only should the teachers be fair at school. Students should act fair as well. There are a few rules that students have to keep. For example when they have a test it is a rule that they do not cheat. Students can cheat by looking at the answers of other students or they have secret notes with them. That is not how it works at school and they should take their tests fairly. In some occasions students blackmail their fellow students. They say that they will not bully them or hit them if they do their homework for them. As you can read this is not fair. Students should make their own homework and on their own. You can ask for help, but you can not copy the homework of your classmates.
Another point about fairness that I want to mention is the fact that poor students have not got a real chance to go to a good school or even go to a school at all. Their parents have not got the money to pay tuition. Because of that poor students with good results can not continue their education at a university. This is a difficult thing to solve. In some occasions students get scholarships so they can go to university, but the majority of the poor students have not got that luck. The government can help in this matter, but even for them this is a difficult task. As you have read there can be a lot of unfairness in schools and around schools. I think lying is very wrong and you should always tell the truth.

Well how to begin abou play fair, it is quiet big topic you know, but I know about what a have to write.
I want to speak about family, because there you are learning how to live, I think you remember how they said to you, say hello, give up the sit for old etc.
Parents give you advice for your life, but it is on you if you want to be polite and gentle. To be fair is very important every moment every day you must be fair, because always you have to decide how behive, for example in train , you shoud give up sit, or help to old people to get into the train. When you stay in queue you should not jump the queue and if you do that I think that, only angry people will want to speak whit you.
And there is also plenty of time in school (for me), there is so much things you have to thing about. Fair is to be in school in time, don´t be late, as most of student. Lot of time you spend in class, and when you have a period you have to be polite, be concentrated,most student do anything else for example ,they read a newspaper or sudoku. And a doing a homowerk with capital D I thing most of student don not do that (only swot do). Well in school is so much thing and you should to behave well, and when you write a test you should not to cheat with your classmate, because that is not fair. But I thing to help your classmate is fair when he do not know something you should help him, because you never know if you sometimes want a help from him.
I thing all day is full of considerateness and it is on you how to behave. Parents thought you to be polite ,gentle and be honorable. In relationship is very important to be honor you know don´t trick your girl/boyfriend. To be fair is about be best I think, be trustful,it is very important when people around you trust you. What you do in your life will tell to other people who you are, and if they want to be with you. I think that is all what I can say about that topic, only what i know is that, you should improve yourself every day of your life, because there is always something to improve.
