The Olympics offer a good view of many cultures to people/viewers around the world. This limited exposure of two weeks more or less to the culture of China in addition to the various other nations whose athletes' stories and personalities we get to know from the televised coverage of the games is a positive step in the direction of chipping away at the walls of prejudice and bigotry that divide cultural, racial, religious, and national groups.
The Olympic games is an invaluable forum where the nations of the world can come together under one roof and compete together at the highest level athletically bereft of the violence and destruction that tends to accompany political or religious conflicts.
