SUMMARY:Winners\, Losers and Cheaters: The Joy of Victory vs the Denial of Defeat
DESCRIPTION:What makes a “good sport”?  Though he didn’t originate the expression\, Vince Lombardi famously said\, “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.”  When does the quest to win go over the line and result in cheating\, lying\, seeking unfair advantage?  It would seem that from an early age\, children are taught to value fairness\, honor and courage over competition and winning.  “It’s not whether you win or lose\,” we often preach to them\, “but how you play the game.” \nYet\, in our current\, fast-paced\, digital world\, it seems as though no matter where we turn\, the rules we have counted on and lived by are being openly flaunted\, turned on their heads or broken apart.  What is the impact on the individual and collective psyche when the values we adhere to seem to be splintering before our eyes? \nWhether in sports\, professional life\, academic achievement\, marriage and friendship\, or any other area of life\, what does it mean to act honorably and with integrity even in situations in which it is likely one could get away with doing otherwise? And what happens to the joy of healthy competition and victory when one bends the rules\, or cheats\, to win? \nCo-Coordinators: David Cooper\, PhD\, and Anne Adelman\, PhD \nDavid E.
