Pre-University Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Sport - Sport Sociology, grade: 14, , language: English, abstract: This paper explores the world of extreme mountaineering as a reflection of Western societal values, examining its evolution alongside our collective social understanding. Through an objective analysis, the study investigates whether extreme mountaineering functions as a microcosm of Western society, mirroring its values, challenges, and inherent conflicts. The work delves into the parallels between the sport's development and modern societal expectations, avoiding judgment while aiming to highlight complex social dynamics within the mountaineering community. By doing so, it seeks to offer insights into how extreme mountaineering encapsulates broader themes of ambition, risk, and personal freedom that are often celebrated in Western culture.
