    My Inquiry project is based on the following topic:
    How is soccer a peace bringing agent and why is that so valuable in the modern world?
    I chose this topic because it tied together two major subjects of importance that I was hoping to
    further research. This includes the subject of soccer which is very close to me, my family, and
    my culture. My topic also incorporated the issues of globalization and international relations
    which have been very intriguing to me in the past.
    My project basically focuses on the political implications of soccer in the sense that it
    helps reduce international conflict by attempting to bring peace through a social platform so as to
    influence the political, economic, and cultural sectors to follow suit. The second part of the
    inquiry question, ...and why is it so valuable in the modern world? occurred to me after
    discussing my topic with others. This part of the question was inserted to reference the trend of
    society turning more towards a less physical and more technological domain. Of course there is
    nothing inherently wrong with technology, but when its influence becomes enough to bring
    along the depreciation of physical activities then therein lies the problem. I thought is better to
    choose a sport that has been around for a long time and has had minimal amounts of
    technological advancements that have changed the game itself instead of the way people view it.
    It was important to show that it has endured the technological rage and kept the traditional
    aspects of the game that has been infused throughout all cultures throughout the world. It was
    vital that I chose soccer because it is the most universal sport and can be identified through most
    international cultures.
    My initial goal going into this project is to first focus on cases in which soccer has
    appeared in the influence of domestic and international decisions. By having a large range of
    examples, it will make easier the task of finding and isolating a pattern of the positive effects of
    soccer on the nature of those decisions. A valuable source of information regarding this section
    of my topic would be FIFA.com and soccer related articles on CNN.com (world news edition).
    To find information on the political decisions that might not be directly stated on the CNN or
    FIFA websites, I could cross reference the events that occurred on the day or days after
    international soccer games from FIFAs website to events on CNNs or Aljazeras website.
    My essay will in essence be structured as the follow:
    I. Intro and explanation of the topic
    II. Important international matches and how they affected international relations.
    III. Political, Economic, and cultural shifts due to the change of social stigma.
    IV. Examples of society leaning towards a less physical future and how soccer has avoided
    and slowed that trend.
    V. Reiterate the importance of soccer on society and globalization of smaller and not so
    small countries. And Conclusion.
