THE INTEGRATED ROLE OF SPORTS IN MULTICULTURAL SOCIETIES

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of sport in integrating between individuals and groups of different cultural backgrounds. For this purpose, it is necessary to look at the psychology of sports and the social and moral role of sports. Sport plays a major integrative role in multicultural societies. In other words, it aims to explain why we believe that sport can not only facilitate integration, but also identify the difficulties that such attempts may face. Participation in sports at the community level can help protect against social isolation, facilitate inclusion, and promote the integration of different groups and minorities.
