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.

There are conflicting views about whether

children

should be educated in collaboration or either contesting with each other.

Although

competitions can easily show individuals’ abilities, I generally agree that cooperation is the superior measure in teaching. The main reason is that

children

can be less stressed during the tasks of the corporation. When

children

work with teammates, they can share their knowledge to complement the others’ insufficient understanding.

For example

, some

children

have more science knowledge due to interests while others may have more language abilities based on their backgrounds. Given that, they can exchange their strengths easily. Another reason is that in collaborations,

children

are forced to discuss with teammates so that they can become more creative through conversations. To be specific, every individual is unique because of their experience;

therefore

, they may obtain more ideas in the discussions. It could be argued that

competition

is the best means to teach students because they can explore their abilities

further

.

For instance

, in the sports field,

competition

is essential, and individual behaviour shows the best performance.

In addition

,

competition

can force

children

to focus on their assignments. Since

competition

emphasizes individual ability,

children

can only rely on themselves.

Furthermore

, there are more motivations for competing because all the scores are based on their performance.

However

,

competition

may fail when

children

enter the workplace in the future since society emphasizes harmony. Learning how to cooperate not only improves communication skills but

also

makes them understand their responsibilities. In these cases, employees with experience in cooperation may be in favour of their bosses. In conclusion,

competition

may seem important because it can teach students how to be independent.

Nonetheless

, a corporation is the most effective way to blend in with society.
