Many students are taught to push themselves to try and be better than other students, rather than working together for everyone’s benefits. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In many countries, comparing with cooperation, most

students

are educated that they need to compete with others in different fields. I think that

this

phenomenon brings more benefits than problems.

Firstly

, competition stimulates

students

to

study

diligently. It is common to see that most

students

’ motivation comes from competition with their peers.

For instance

,

students

who achieve poor academic performance will feel shame because teachers love

students

who can get high scores. After

this

, they are likely to

study

diligently to restore self-esteem.

Moreover

, if they are taught to be competitive in the

study

, they are likely to regard the

study

as a game, which will encourage them to learn as much as they can, arousing the desire to win. In the long run,

this

teaching pattern could constantly drive student’s motivation in studying.

Secondly

,

this

teaching way will be beneficial for

students

who will enter society in search of a job. It is undeniable that finding a job is becoming more and more difficult for graduates, which indirectly impose extra requirements on them,

such

as excellent interpersonal skills and in-depth specialization, challenging people’s well-rounded capability.

For example

, If some

students

are used to compete with others, they know how to show their strong points and how to avoid their weaknesses for the employer, improving their competitiveness in job hunting. In conclusion, educating

students

on how to beyond others and themselves will bring more benefits,

such

as motivation and future career. While the drawback does exist, it can be minimized.
