Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

These days, controversy continues over whether students should be encouraged with competitions or should be taught to cooperate with companions. Some people believe that competition among these children will be beneficial to them in the future.
However
, I would argue that co-operation nature will be more useful. On the one hand, those who think that competition is a vital part in school curriculums, they may argue that
this
would be helpful to the children to keep their interest in the study and sports. The grading system is the basic formula of most schools, and
this
can be decided based on the individual student performance.
For example
, If a swimming tournament among some students in school organises, the result will give the idea who is the best swimmer.
As a result
other competitors in the same sport event who did not get a prize, they may encourage
,
Accept space
,
and try hard to do better in the future.
In contrast
, if there is no grading system in the sports or education system, teenagers may not take interest to improve their performance since either no one is going to get a prize or everyone will be awarded.
On the other hand
, it is my view that teaching cooperation with each other to adolescents will be great for them compared to them.
This
is one of the vital qualifications if we need to get team work.
For instance
, in a game of football, everyone in the team should give their best performance not considering individual benefits but looking for the squad work and win. Winning can happen with collective efforts and corporations in the squad. Alternatively
,
Accept space
,
if these players will not play in unison they might lose the game. In conclusion,
although
, there are benefits of encouragement to students and keep them in the rivalry environment, it is my belief that we should teach our children to be cooperative with peers and other students and
this
would be positive for the development of the children.
