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, the
sense
of competition
has become higher, especially in work life. Many people
believe that competition
sense
should be stimulated from an early age while the other people
prefer to teach teamwork to compete; however
, this
essay will discuss some relevant reasons behind both views reasonably.
To begin
with, encouraging children
's sense
of competition
gives several benefits in many aspects. Competition
sense
will give the children
motivation to achieve their goals. For example
, while they are in school, they will be motivated by their friends who get higher scores. Furthermore
, they will find a way to beat their friend, such
as getting a private tutor in a particular subject that can guide them to achieve their goals and make micro improvements day by day. This
progress will help them gain self-confidence to achieve their goals.
On the other hand
, stimulation of competition
sense
can be wrongly interpreted by children
become rivalry sense
. They will always have a strong desire to be the winner, which can negatively affect their mental health. For instance
, they will lose their confidence when they are lost in a particular competition
. Instead
, only rise only the competition
sense
, children
should be taught to co-operate with other people
. It can be achieved by assigning a problem through a small discussion group. With this
kind of discussion, children
are also
taught to respect other people
's opinions and suppress their selfishness. Consequently
, when they get used to working in a group and have that sense
of competition
, they can quickly adapt to their future work environment.
In conclusion, it is crucial to teach competition
sense
to children
early, but it should be balanced with teaching them to co-operate skills.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
