The olympic games are Greek, and they should always be hosted in Greece. Greeks came up with the concept, they should be the ones to host them every time. In my opinion, the concepts of the Olympics, human rights, democracy are all western concepts. They all are derivatives of western ideology, western way of thinking and western culture. Think about it…My intention is not to put cultures down, every culture has its beauty. The above notions and concepts have become universall, not because they are any good, but because they are an excellent way for the west to control the east. The universalization of these concepts has occured as an outcome of colonization and impossitions.

People around the globe wouldn’t appreciate if Greece monopolize the Games and host it every time.
The Olympic Games are the most popular event in the world, every country is watching it and want to host it as well.
The particularity of each country that makes the Games more attractive and interesting.
