In the general sense, ethics is the philosophical discipline that aims to present a justification or evaluation the moral of different rules, motives, intentions, beliefs or activities. Evaluation and formulated standards are applied to procedures in relation to other persons and the person as such. The main purpose of ethics is that of raising the level of morality and therefore the aspiration to eliminate a variety of negative behaviors. All moral principles must be communicated from an early age both by parents and by educational institutions. Game and sport respond to deep human needs and play an important role in all societies and communities cultures. No other activity has so much force and energy to mobilize and bring people across barriers cultural, linguistic or professional. Sport is not a luxury for any society, but rather an important investment in the present and the future of a nation. The term "aggressiveness in sports" has been commonly used to define a range of different behaviors: violent outbursts, beating, aggressive attacking player in football, aggressive hitting of an opponent. In sports psychology, aggression is attributed to any intentional behavior to injure another individual or object by verbal or physical means.
