Winter is a Better Season than Summer

P1. Yard Work; Vista; Celebrations 1 – Yard Work. Pro claims that shoveling is a wonderful exercise while yard caring is not. This claim is not backed up with any reasoning other than a personal opinion. Researchers have found that shoveling can be hard on the heart and bad for you back due to added strain.[2][3] While yard activities such as gardening is good for your health by enjoying fresh and healthy produce, eased stress, keeping limber, and improving your mood. [4] On the same topic of yard work, Summer is an excellent time to produce crop, while in the Winter the weather is too harsh and just as Pro mentioned, covered in snow. For these reasons our ancestors worked all year, to be able to endure the harsh cold Winters. 2 – Vista. I’m not sure how Pro can claim that almost all other seasons are identical when during Fall the trees are orange, and the life of the plants that Winter took are beginning to sprout back in Spring. All seasons have their flowers which have a wide variety of colors to enjoy and bring life into ones home.[5] Winter has its own set of flowers, but if the land is frozen, this will be the scenic view.[6] 3 – Celebrations. The celebrations brought up by Pro are only based on their personal preference. In reality, Summer has more festivals than Winter because the season allows for it. There are 50+ music festivals alone in Summer.[7] Let’s not forget Burning Man.[8] P2. Sports; Apparel; Food; 1 – Sports. Some sports mentioned by Pro are available all year around, with the exception of the Winter sports (hence Winter). Likewise, Pro conveniently forgot to mention sports thoroughly enjoyed throughout Summer – water sports. This boils down to personal preference again, while the sports shared between the two months may be more enjoyable in Summer with some lemonade rather than two feet deep in snow. 2 – Apparel. This comes down to personal preference again, although, you are not limited in Summer to thick clothes. If anything, there may be more in Summer. Such as swimwear, skirts, the ability to walk around in undergarments even if the heater isn’t working, tank-tops, open shoes, and basically everything being worn under the heavy winter coat. 3 – Food. There is no such thing as food that cannot be enjoyed all year around. For example, Puerto Rico is a distributor of coffee and a heavy consumer.[9] In which Pro claims is too hard to enjoy. P3. Pricey; Education; Extra Sleep 1 – Pricey. Pro claims that AC has exorbitant prices and ignores the price of a heating unit when heating units are more expensive. [10][11] The costs for Summer spike due to various reasons, not related to the season itself. The number one factor is that there is no school. This is because the general population can agree that Summer is a great time to spend outside and get more things done, in comparison to Winter. In which many studies will show that resting periods are good for the brain. This is not to say that a child cannot pick up a book and read, other way around, a child can pick up activities in which they personally enjoy rather than be forced at school. 2 – Education. Entertainment and extracurricular activities are dominated in Summer, Pro even mentions how cost rises due to the extra activities. The entertainment can be seen in P1.3. As for the “excellent education” received in Winter, that would imply that other seasons do not match the level of education as Winter, in which Pro has provided none. While this debate is about Summer, it is an earned break, one a student could learn at his/her own pace and learn skills that school cannot provide. 3 – Extra sleep. Pro claims that Winter is a shine in our education system and there are activities galore, yet there is time for over-sleeping. This is exactly what Summer is for. A time to do everything you could not do in Winter. This argument goes against her own position. While Winter has its benefits, Summer is the season where we are set free from many of our duties (as children) and are able to enjoy the full length of our capabilities. And if it’s snow you want, you could always go North and find it during Summer. [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org... [2] - http://www.health.harvard.edu... [3] - http://voices.yahoo.com...
