There are a few themes there. First theme is between a person and the society. Antigone wants to bury him even though the representative of the society, which is the King, forbade it. She does it anyway and shows how an individual fought the system which she believed was wrong and corrupt.

Another theme is the divine law versus common law. Creon represents society and the law of the people while she was burying Polyneices according to Greek tradition based on their religious beliefs. She sticks to divine law over local law because she believes that Creon is wrong.

What are the benefits of practicing sports activities and cultural events outside of class? Needs to be 8-10 sentences long.
Svetlanka [38]
Kids’ character and moral principles are formed through fair play. Moreover, children who are actively engaged in sports can be good role models for their peers from school, neighborhood, or even school choir, and inspire them to start playing some sports as well.Playing sports enables them to create friendships they otherwise might not have formed. For example, the bonds professional athletes build on the field remain intact even when they are not playing sports, and often last a lifetime.Sports bring people together from all over the world, regardless of their nationality, religion, culture, or skin color.<span>Teamwork and benefits of social interaction among children are best seen in sports. Kids learn they are part of a team that requires the same effort from all members to succeed, as well as how to win with class, and lose with dignity.They view competitions on and off the field as opportunities to learn from their success and failure. Also, losing often motivates kids to work even harder for next time.They learn to respect authority, rules, team colleagues, and opponents.<span>Sport is a valuable learning environment for children. Numerous studies have shown that children who play sports perform better at school. It is also within the sport that peer status and peer acceptance is established and developed.</span>Sports experiences help to build positive self- esteem in children.<span>Also, participating in sports can be a helpful way of reducing stress and increasing feelings of physical and mental well-being, as well as fighting against juvenile delinquency, conflict, and aggressive outbursts. The point is to keep the body in good health to be able to keep our mind sharp and clear.</span></span><span>When children learn positive life lessons through sports, there is no doubt they will become honest, reliable adults who will try to help others in need at any moment.

You can pick the examples. I hope this helps</span>
