The following arguments were taken from magazine and newspaper editorials and letters to the editor. In most instances the main conclusion must be rephrased to capture the full intent of the author. Write out what you interpret the main conclusion to be. The health and fitness of our children has become a problem partly because of our attitude toward athletics. The purpose of sports, especially for children, should be to make healthy people healthier. The concept of team sports has failed to do this. Rather than learning to interact and cooperate with others, youngsters are taught to compete. Team sports have only reinforced the notion that the team on top is the winner, and all others are losers. This approach does not make sports appealing to many children, and some, especially among the less fit, burn out by the time they are twelve.

Here is another theorem whose proof uses Zorn's lemma. Recall that if A is a space and if $x, y \in A$, we say that x and y belong to the same quasicomponent of A if there is no separation $A=C \cup D$ of A into two disjoint sets open in A such that $x \in C$ and $y \in D$. Theorem. Let X be a compact Hausdorff space. Then x and y belong to the same quasicomponent of X if and only if they belong to the same component of X. (a) Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the collection of all closed subspaces A of X such that x andy lie in the same quasicomponent of A. Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a subcollection of $\mathcal{A}$ that is simply ordered by proper inclusion. Show that the intersection of the elements of $\mathcal{B}$ belongs to $\mathcal{A}$. (b) Show $\mathcal{A}$ has a minimal element D. (c) Show D is connected.
