The poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost focusses on the theme of breaking down barriers and is applicable to the Olympic Games too.
The Olympic Games are the world's highest sports platform, on which sportspersons from various countries participate to earn glory for their country. Though the competition is among countries, the Games also serve as a melting pot of cultures.
The most important part of breaking down international barriers is the fact that each time the Olympic Games are hosted by a different country. So, even if someone never plans to go to Japan, he or she will still need to visit the country in order to participate in the event. This leads to greater exposure of people like sportspersons, support team members, media persons and even tourists, to nations that would probably never have been on their travel list.
Next, the host country makes special arrangements for visitors. This includes arranging for comfortable stays, smooth transportation and even the availability of translators. With greater interaction between the locals and people from other cultures, a comfort level is established. Foreigners go back to their countries with good memories and are also able to get over any unfounded myths about a particular nation. Over time international tourism increases and the food and culture of the host nation starts spreading abroad too. This makes people of various nationalities bond over things like Japanese cuisine or Bollywood movies.
As different as various cultures may be, sports removes barriers in a number of ways. On the field all participants are equal. Everyone has the same goal, the same passion and has trained in a similar manner. This similarity in itself is a uniting factor. All humans need for greater cultural acceptance and peace is an element of similarity to bring them all together.
