Some people think that children should learn how to compete, but other think that children should be taught to cooperatevto become more useful adults. Express some reasons for both views and give your opinion.

good behaviour to be taught, it is possible to argue quite the opposite. In my opinion, I believe that

cooperation

is the quality that needs to be attained at

this

age. In

this

essay, I will outline the causes for both opinions including my own opinion.

To begin

with, some people believe that

competition

between

children

is healthy for different reasons.

First

, it creates a motivation to be better.

For example

,

children

like to be the

first

in class and to be rewarded for

this

,

therefore

, they will exert extra effort to achieve that and compete with their

peers

. It is a

competition

for a good cause because everyone wants to show their best abilities.

Second

, being unique and at the centre of attention can only be achieved by competing. The more someone achieves the more he will be glamourous and respected.

On the other hand

,

competition

can create a lot of tension between

peers

and fail to achieve the good manners that

cooperation

might teach them. Cooperative can teach them to help each other and to be considerate of one another even if they have the same goal.

For example

, when studying for the same exam, they should support their classmates and help them with their difficult parts even if they all want to get high grades. Competing should not deter them from helping their

peers

.

Moreover

, they should learn that by

cooperation

the credit for success goes to all members of the

team

,not just one.

For instance

, when playing as a

team

, winning can only be achieved by

cooperation

between the

team

members and

consequently

, the glory will go to the

team

as a whole. The more we cooperate the more we can achieve together. To conclude, as competing may sound tempting to some

children

, it can create hatred and tension between

peers

. In my opinion,

children

can benefit more from

cooperation

by dividing the tasks between all

peers

.
