Esl Year 11 for Kick It Like Beckham
Mr and Mrs. Bhamras, I have just learned that Jess has not told you about her training in my team for the match in Hamburg. I am very sorry about the inconvenience we have caused you. Even so I really wish you would let her continue playing with the team. Jess has told me the situation between you not letting her continue playing. That is also the reason for my visit; I want to try to convince you to let her continue playing football. From what I see, I know you are a very protective of Jess, but I think that you might be protecting her the wrong way. I know Mr Bhamra that you have been discriminated by some English man in the past but I assure you that this has not happened to Jess with her team mates. They treat Jess as the same to themselves, and they support her, and I treat all my players the same to each and everyone one of them. I know you are very concern of her, but instead of protecting her without realising you are controlling her life. I see that Jess is not even excited about her sister’s wedding; well she is being force to abandon football and the chance of playing professionals. If this continues the outcome would not be pleasant. She would never be happy at whatever she does. Playing football is not just about kicking and scoring, it’s bigger than that. From what I’ve learn Sikh culture emphasizes equality among man and woman, but sexist still occur all over the world. Well Jess can prove that woman is capable of what man can do. Your family thinks that English man always complaint about your culture and dislikes your culture well this is the chance to shut them up. Mr Bhamra, you are angry of those English men that make fun of you and your culture, Jess can show to them and the world how good Sikh is. I say that seeing Sikh playing professionals it is a pride to your culture.
You always say that Jess must behave like a proper woman the way Sikh woman do, but I think culture is not always right. Sikh may be a great culture but does it know

    Sikhs did not believe in the Caste System, which separated individuals, polytheism, or the pilgrimage to the Ganges. They do believe in reincarnation. They are monotheistic, believing in Naam or the Divine Name. They believe in equality and peace for all souls. They carry daggers for protection and for defense of their religion; a tradition dating back to Muslim and Hindu persecution in the 16th century.…

    Football, what does it take to be a good player? It takes determination and the will to fight and go to practice. It also takes being a good kid and not going to parties where people drink and smoke. That is definitely something you don't want to be representing yourself while being and good player. You would lose a lot of trust and respect from supporting people. Determination is key when you are playing football you can't just not show up to practice because then you will wonder why you won't ever get to play on game day, because you never put in…

    Gurinder Chadha has used dialogue to show the difference posed by opposing cultures. And most particular, Jesminder Bhamra (or ‘Jess’ as she is commonly known), is made to overcome the complications of wanting to both appease her traditional Sikh family, and her constant internal struggle as she tries to achieve her goal of becoming a football player, like her idol David Beckham. Gurinder Chadha’s dialogue is used to show the resistance Jess has to face, as she battles against what her family’s tradition asks of her, like cooking and learning how to become the ideal Indian wife, and the opposition that Jess has to overcome in the form of her disapproving parents.…

    Tomlinson (2007, cited in Hargreaves, 1994) suggested that liberal feminism has contributed positively in sport and it is a good thing because, they have fought for better access; better funding and rewards; coaching and having an equivalent voice to men in decision making. Liberal feminists have done for this because they believe women deserve the same equality and equity as men in sport and society. Sport can be considered a good thing through activists. Liberal feminists have put an outline to sports organisations, schools, and other associations about developing, providing and delivering sport for females. Because of the work of the likes of Women’s Sport foundation (WSF) and Women’s Sport International (WSI) they are starting to get women the opportunities of being a part of mainstream sports (Scraton…

    Although there has been substantial growth of the recognition and popularity of women’s sport, female athletes are still degraded to be second best to their contrasting male athletes that are illustrated by the media to be superior and the attention is focused on the body of the female objectifying her rather than emphasising her athletic ability and skill . This injustice of inequality will continue until the media its self-changes the perception of men and women and shows them to the same and just as competent as each…

    In freshman high school, I remember the strong bold team leader introduces herself with a handshake, “Hi, I’m Nikki Lee we have an all girls football team would you like to join we practice every Monday and Wednesday?” From that question I knew right away I wanted to join despite of the stereotype of being able to play football is an all-boy game. Without telling my parents I stayed after school and practiced with the team and at the same times I also joined another club called Hip Hop. With understandable questions and answer my parents allowed me to continue my practice and effort. However, relatives elders threw curveball question, “Why did you join such sports like that when its physical games especially, when girls don’t play games they do house chores and look after the kids?” Even though the elders has told me this I continued strong and be a team player. I hope my younger sibling and my nieces follow their wants and needs while being Hmong.…

    Joining a competitive sport comes with a little bit of danger and risk. Many people believe "That rarely ever happens, people getting big injuries" 3,800,000 concussions were reported in 2012, double what was reported in 2002.(TS 2 pg.2 art. 1 Paragraph 7 ) That's a lot of people! Many people get injured easily. A good coach is an important part of staying safe and having fun while doing that. There are many inexperienced coaches. "Personally, if I had a son, I would not be concerned with him playing football. I would however make sure that his coaches understand the proper techniques that decrease the risk of concussions," (TS 2, pg. 14 art. 3 Paragraph 22) This is significant because the person is saying he would be worried about coaches over him just playing football. Other concerns are, sports injuries interfering with student’s education and technology that doesn’t keep player’s safe. “We work to reduce forces of impact to the player’s head,”(pg. 15 art. 4 p.4) In conclusion, competitive sports are super fun and a great experience to try out but you can't always leave your worries…
