You played every game this soccer season. You’re

not the best player on the team. But most days

you tried hard. Do you deserve a trophy?

If the decision is up to Carol Dweck,

the answer would likely be no. She teaches

psychology at Stanford University, in California.

She says a player doesn’t have to be the best to get

an award. But those who do get an award should

have to work for it.

“The trophy has to stand for something,”

Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone,

then the award has no value.” Dweck says kids

should get trophies for specific reasons. Not only

the best players should be rewarded. It could be

the most improved player, or the player with the

most team spirit. She says that teaches kids that

adults value hard work and trying our best.

On the Other Hand …

Others see no harm in giving awards to all

players. “I think we should encourage kids’

participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish.

He teaches psychology at Weill Cornell Medical

College, in New York City.

Barish disapproves of celebrating only the

best players. He says it sends the message that

winning is everything. “Winning is only part

of the equation,” Barish told TFK. “Playing

sports also teaches kids about teamwork and

the importance of exercise.”

Kids will learn about competition as they

get older, Barish says. For now, he thinks it’s

fine to let all players feel like winners. That

means trophies for everyone.—By Brenda Iasevoli

Experts share their opinions about

how trophies should be awarded.

On December 14, 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to reach the South Pole.

A pole marks a symbolic South Pole, or Earth’s southernmost point.

In 1911, explorer Roald Amundsen led the first successful journey to the South Pole.

In 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen

and four companions became the first people to

reach the South Pole. They raised their country’s

flag in victory. They had much to celebrate.

In the early 1900s, there was a race to see who

could get to the South Pole first. Amundsen won.

He beat British explorer Robert Falcon Scott by

five weeks. A reporter at the New York Times

“The whole world has now been discovered.”

A Competitive SpiritAmundsen was deeply competitive. In 1903,

he became the first to travel by ship through the

Northwest Passage. The Northwest Passage is a

sea route through the icy Arctic Ocean.

In 1909, American explorer Robert E. Peary

became the first person to reach the North Pole.

Amundsen decided that he would attempt

to go to the South Pole. He wrote, “There was

nothing left but for me to try to solve the last great

problem—the South Pole.”

Growing Up GorillaAs babies, mountain gorillas depend on their

mothers. They always stay close to their mothers. Baby gorillas eat, sleep, and travel with their mothers. Some ride on their mothers’ backs until they are two or three years old.

As gorillas grow up, they have to make a choice. Should they stay with their troops? Or should they leave? Some males choose to stay with their natal troops. They might replace the alpha males of their troops when the time comes.

Alpha FemalesBonobos aren’t like other apes. Alpha females lead their troops. Young females move to new groups. Males stay in their natal troops, close to their mothers.
