Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

Some say that

children

should be taught how to compete to achieve victory in life

while

others

think cooperation is more important and needed as they face adulthood.

This

essay will argue, that

although

teaching youngsters to be competitive will drive them to win but encouraging them to help

others

is more useful that would enhance teamwork which is vital for success.  On the one hand,

children

that are excelling in school were taught to be studious on their ownself to achieve academic excellence.

In addition

, these

children

strive very hard to remain on top and

this

is one of the many reasons why they do it. These youngsters tend to compete with other

children

to be able to win in every competition.

For example

, in India,

children

are forced to attend a class

that is

very challenging at a young age because parents pressure their offspring to attain success.

However

, I believe that being competitive should not be inculcated in their young minds because it will cause failure

instead

.

On the other hand

, helping

children

learn the values of camaraderie would help them develop a sense of empathy with

others

.

Moreover

,

this

behaviour would not encourage jealousy which is more common among adults in the workplace.

This

characteristic would

also

help them reach their goals without a sense of rivalry with

others

.

For instance

,

children

who practice teamwork in their projects at school are more successful and appreciated by teachers. In conclusion,

although

children

that are competitive have the will to win, cooperation with

others

is a more important lesson that they would carry in their life. Cooperation as one of the values among

children

is more helpful in their adult life.
