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 public debate has been going on over whether a
sense
of competition in
children
should be encouraged. Some believe
this
sense
of
competitiveness
is beneficial for
children
while others believe that
children
who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more valuable as a grown-up.
Firstly
, by encouraging a
sense
of competition in
children
people anchorage them to pursue excellence.
Children
, by competing with one another challenges each other to do their best.
Thus
,
children
achieve better results at a minimum given time.
For example
, if other same-age kids are doing better, the kid
that is
less successful but has a competitive mindset will try to reach the same level as other kids or even exceed their level of success.
As a result
, not only the child
that is
chasing the goals of others will improve, but his actions will motivate the other
children
to do more.
This
competitiveness
will provide a person as an adult additional motivation in seeking a higher position at work,
competitiveness
as
such
encourages the growth of a person as an individual and ensures growth for the companies where fierce people work.
On the other hand
, some say that by instilling a
sense
of
competitiveness
we discourage
children
from seeking a
sense
of corporation ar complementing and helping each other.
Children
with a competitive mindset are likely to ignore other traits like companionship, empathy, and generosity.
Thus
making them less commonly accepted by society. Which might lead to them being sad, lonely or having no friends when they grow up. Because only, by teaching kids how to cooperate and compromise, do they learn to pay attention to others' feelings

than their goals. In conclusion, by encouraging a
sense
of competition in childer, we encourage them to seek the overall goal much faster and more efficiently. Sadly
children
with more competitive minds tend to dismiss feelings,
thus
being friendless as an adult.
