The act of glorifying the seems to be embedded in our society’s fabric. From the podium of a sport competition to the red carpet of the Academy Awards, celebrating those who came out on top has become a cultural norm. But what are the implications of this glorification?

The glorification of the winner can create a ‘win-at-all-cost’ mentality in our society. Winning becomes the ultimate goal, and anything that stands in the way or might jeopardize it instantly becomes irrelevant. This mentality can manifest in various ways, for example, sacrificing ethics and fair play to win, or disregarding the rule of law in a quest for success. Success is not just seen as something desirable but as something worth disregarding our morals and values for.

The glorification of the winner can also lead to the dehumanization of people who do not win. When we focus solely on those who succeed, we forget the vast majority of people who did not win, and who may have put in just as much effort and hard work as those who did. This dehumanization leads to feelings of inadequacy and a lack of self-worth in those who do not measure up to society’s standards of winning.

Moreover, the glorification of the winner can skew our perception of what it means to be successful. We tend to equate success with winning, when in fact, success is a much broader concept that encompasses more than just winning. Success should be about achieving personal goals, learning from our failures, and contributing positively to society. By only focusing on the winners, we forget that success comes in different forms and that each of us can achieve it, regardless of whether we win or not.

The glorification of the winner can also perpetuate inequality and a lack of diversity in our society. If we only celebrate those who fit a certain mold or meet certain standards of what it means to be a winner, we are missing out on the contributions of those who may not fit that mold or have a different way of looking at things. By solely recognizing a certain type of winner, we are limiting the potential of our society and leaving behind those who do not fit into those narrow definitions of success.

Finally, the glorification of the winner can lead to a lack of empathy for those who do not win. When we focus solely on celebrating the successes of others, we can become blind to the obstacles they overcome, or the struggles they may have endured. This lack of empathy can create a society that is less compassionate and more focused on individual achievement than supporting the collective wellbeing of the whole community.

In conclusion, the glorification of the winner is a cultural norm that has significant implications for our society. While recognizing those who have succeeded is important, we must also broaden our definition of success, celebrate diversity, and show empathy for those who do not win. Winning should not be an end in itself but an opportunity to grow, learn, and contribute to society. By doing so, we can create a society that is more inclusive, collaborative, and compassionate for all.
