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 these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, there are two type beliefs about children’s education and
that is
whether children should be encouraged for sense of
competition
or they should be taught to cooperate rather than compete. In my opinion, both of them has advantages and disadvantages today and it is going to be explained in
this
essay. On
one
hand,
competition
is essential in our times because of a dramatic rise in the population. In crowded societies’ education system,
competition
or competing children are used to filter which
one
is good or bad.
For example
, in my country there is an exam to decide for people that which university they can go. There has been lots of complaining about that
competition
education system.
However
, in
such
crowded environments, there is no other way to choose which
one
is accomplished or which
one
is
failed
Suggestion
failing
.
In other words
, universities wants to chose the best ones for their foundations so the examination based on competitor is the only way to do that.
On the other hand
, some unique societies have an example of an educational system about teaching children to cooperate and live like co-operated societies.
For instance
, in Finland, there is no
competition
exams and teachers do not teach children to compete. They just teach them how to learn and how to develop their selves. I believe
that is
the most civilized way to learn and live. Their population property, location Specialty and economic characteristics give that opportunity.
However
, other ordinary and average countries do not have that potential. In conclusion, people think goods and bads both ways of educational properties which are competitive and co-operative. I think children should be taught to co-operate and do things together. But they should
also
learn to compete if their environment properties force them to do it.
In other words
, if they do not have another chance.
