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

It is thought by some that

children

should be motivated to compete with each other, whilst others argue that those who are educated about cooperation become more beneficial citizens.

Although

base their opinion on

this

analysis that by competing, boys and girls strive to learn more.

That is

to say that a good student, who generally gets first position in a class, will always try to maintain his position and will work harder so as to compete with his other fellow competitors. In

this

way, he will exert extra effort at home so that he is not beaten in the

competition

.

For example

, many parents in developing countries want their

children

to compete with others and get more marks so that their boy or girl gets admission to medical college where the margin of passing or failing is a fraction of a per cent.

However

, I believe that

this

trait of learning can be achieved more successfully if we teach our

children

to help each other. Even though there is a majority of those who favour

this

approach that

children

should be taught to compete to learn and become successful, I agree with others who advocate cooperation because

this

imbues a sense of sharing and teamwork in teenagers.

This

means that when students help each other

their homework or assignments, all of them not only get knowledge but

also

develop the capabilities of assisting and contributing, which help them when they enter practical life.

For instance

, in Switzerland, many schools require their students to do group assignments, which practice has resulted in those students

also

helping their friends when they enter practical life. In conclusion,

while

the sense of

competition

is an important tool for learning, I believe that those

children

who are required to help each other, not only learn well but

also

become more productive youngsters.
