 * __ Vancouver Winter Olympics __**

The positives of the Vancouver Winter Olympics were that it would bring social and environmental notice to most of the people in the area. It brought tourism to Vancouver, and this helping the economical side due to the increase of tourists staying in hotels, going to lunch, and other business advantages. The other positives are that, due to the amount of tourists, they had an improvement in transport links. There were positive social values, such as voluntarism, teamwork, self-sacrifice and fair play. These positives impacts that Vancouver Winter Olympics caused, have made the people environmentally and socially aware of what has been done.
 * Positives: **

The Vancouver Winter Olympics had its positives but for all these positives to happen, money needed to be in the equation. A lot of money (millions) went into the security and transport in Vancouver, and the amount of jobs needed to run and help the event. Also, as it was the Winter Olympics there would need to be snow but there wasn’t enough at the beginning. This causing to fake snow machines and a lot of work for the outside slopes and runs. To participate in the Olympics can be very dangerous and can cause death. In this Olympics, a tragedy happened and a young Luge athlete died, just a day before the event was ready to kick off. The mistake was told by ‘Josef Fendt, the president of the World Luge ­Federation’ and he said, "We have planned it for a maximum speed of 137kph, but it is almost 20kph faster. We think this is a planning mistake." This made the people around the area, aware of the fact that this could cause injuries or death and that some of the courses can go a little wrong. These were the low points of the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
 * Negatives: **

The Vancouver Wintr Olympics, on a whole turned out very well for the economical part. On the other hand, it caused a few dilemmas for the over-crowded and health for the people. Even though the Olympics ran smoothly, there were a few problems, and one of the problems leading to death. Death is possible but it did take people by surprise. Other then that, the Vancouver Winter Olympics had it's advantages and disadvantages.
 * Conclusion: **


 * Positives: **

The Vancouver olympics brought many benefits to the people and to the communities in Vancouver. Profit for local businesses and restaurants was definitely increased as there was an influx of people coming to the area with their pockets filled. Future venues that are to be held in Vancouver will have a good amount of readily available high quality sports stadiums. This does not help the community -that- much, however if they want good sports stadiums to attend, they have them. The Vancouver olympics will emphasize the of key land marks that could attract tourism to the city and therefor money for the local people who work in the tourist industry.

Although the Vancouver olympics were very beneficial to the local communities, there were also many negatives. Much of the time, no money goes from the multinational spnsors and foreign investors to the people in the local communities. This can actually hurt small businesses. Taxes also go up sometimes as funds are needed to pay for all of the new high quality sporting venues. Trafic congestion also hurts local commuters as the traffic levels rise during the olympics.
