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.

It is believed that, if we make children compete with each other, it will make them a successful adult.

However

, some people think that working together is better. It is important to see both perspectives.

Firstly

, one of the reasons for why we want to push the future generations to

out each other can be due to our will to survive. The

humans competed to hunt or search for a mate in the prehistoric era, for fulfilling the basic needs. Children may be encouraged to

, for the same reason, to survive, to get the best resources and tools. The

second

reason of why kids should fight or compare themselves to one another, is to make them feel happier and increase their self esteem.

For example

, if a child become the

in turn will make them more eager to practice their skills. The other way of doing things is by co-operation, or a group effort. At

society, everything that we do will come back to us. Children need to know that their actions affect others' lives, and reciprocally as well. An example of

would be eating, we seldom grow our own food or even cook them,

instead

we often buy food from other people who need our money for their own businesses.

Secondly

think about their own gains, telling children to put their ideas and skills together to help each other, is enabling us to achieve goals that are impossible to be done alone.

For example

, children can see that it needs team effort to land men on the moon. In conclusion, after looking at both sides, I personally believe that children should be taught to live with each other in harmony,

instead

of seeking their own personal successes. There is no way of knowing what the future holds, but the best innovations in our lifetime have been, so far, created by the brightest minds wanting to help humanity as a whole.
