Nowadays, people pay attention to sprots more and more. They will investment in it with a huge resource such as the U.S. , China, and Russia. In those places, Sports can be a major. Their athlete can be a professional player. In Hong Kong, sports never will be a major. Athele just can be a amateur player. Parents, information, and the government also can affect the sports can be a major or not.

Culture is the basic problem to decide a subject can be a major or not. In Hong Kong, almost every parents think sports just can be a insterest. They always think about the major need to bring home the bacon. In their mind, Maketing, Law, and Medicine also can make their children become outstanding and rich. On the other hand, the U.S. parents think every subject has its master even though it is art, music or sports. They will spport their children in every way. Parents are the one kind of trend to settle what the major is.

Nowadays, the effect of information technology education is secong only to parents. In Hong Kong, media always broadcast other countries sports' news. For example, N.B.A, Wimbledon Championships, and other football leagues. Teenagers know foreign atheles more than local. It will make them to think local atheles are not professional. Then they will just want to be a foreign famous athele and they will not join the local training anymore. So, information also can control the trend.

Finally, the government is the last one to rule the major. Choosing the outstanding is Hong Kong government's style even though it is a training program. Nearly all of coaches just want to find out the special one. It will make other normal children have no way to join any training. Then parents will push their children who are normal to study other subject except sports. Therefore, a subject can be a major, it depends on the goverment's system.

In conclusion, Sports can be a major in the U.S., but not in Honk Kong. Because of three things, parents, information and the government. Parents can push their children to study a major what the parents want. Information can influence teenagers' thinking. It can make people look down on local sports or not. The government is a judge to estimate a subject. Unfortunately, in Hong Kong all of them do not support sports. So, sports are totally different between in the U.S. and in Hong Kong.
