Answer:

Leadership is the ability or the capacity of an individual to lead other people. It is the

Nelson Mandela: “Sports has the power to change the world, it has the power to unite
people in a way that little does"

Explanation:

Indeed, sports has the power to change the world since sport unites and bring
people together by allowing them to see past their racial lines through their shared interest and
common passion. However, despite many viewing sport as a way to bring people together
through a common interest, there are those who argue otherwise. These individuals point to times
where the platform of sport has been used to push specific agendas and turned into a tool to drive
home divisive ideas and disrupt communities instead. Although there are times when individuals
can go against the spirit of sport and create greater division and instability in the community, it is
undeniable that sport has the uncanny ability to transcend racial and religious boundaries and
unite individuals and societies through a shared passion.

Sport unites people by allowing them to see past racial lines through their shared passions
and desires. Sport allows individuals from different racial backgrounds but who support the same
team to bond over a shared interest and common passion. This encourages them to look past
whatever prejudices they may bear towards their counterparts to the extent where it can displace
years of disdain and mistrust. It has successfully managed to promote cohesiveness between
players of different races. Thus, sport does have the powerful ability to unify even the most
racially divided people, cutting through stereotypes and preconceived notions keeping different
racial groups apart and even breaking down barriers of racial tension and allowing these groups
to come together as one people through their love of sport and in the spirit of sport.
