Platon stiller ofte spørsmålet "Hva er noe?" i dialogene sine. Ved å stille dette spørsmålet får han ofte samtalepartnerne til å innse at de ikke har full forståelse av hva noe er, selv om de har delvis forståelse. Å være klar over sin ufullstendige erkjennelse er det første steget på veien til sannheten i filosofien. På samme måte som i antikken spør også dagens moderne idrettsfilosofer, i likhet med Platon, "Hva er sport?", eller mer presist, "Hva er god sport?". Et av Platon's beste svar på dette spørsmålet finnes trolig i grunnleggende konsepter i hans filosofi om den hierarkiske inndelingen av staten og menneskesjelen i tre deler. Siden sport stammer fra mennesket, kan også godheten i sport deles inn i tre stadier. Det laveste stadiet av sport svarer til den første delen av sjelen - den lystne sjelen. På dette stadiet er sport basert på å oppnå materielle goder gjennom premiene som vinnes i konkurranser....

UREP - Ep. 3 (Problemas de la convivencia)

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
