In some cultures, children are encouraged to compete against each other. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?

Competition among

children

is encouraged day by day in some religions.

Although

competition is thought by some to be a useful experience for teenagers, other people consider that it can be detrimental.

Children

can improve their confidence from tournaments with others but there is

also

a negative aspect to be taken into account.

Firstly

, one benefit of

children

encouraging the challenge is that they understand themselves.

In other words

,

this

also

learns to identify them their fear.

For example

, if

children

are fear of swimming,

then

it is good to encourage them about the benefits of swimming.

As a result

, they can live life without any fear.

Secondly

,

this

approach

also

learns them how to handle mistakes by themselves.

As a result

, they become confident people compared to others.

Lastly

,

this

can

also

teach them how to handle responsibility in their life.

As a consequence

,

this

helps them in their future career.

On the other hand

, one problem when

children

have encouraged by the community is that it potentially increases jealousy between

children

.

For example

, one child, who is always a topper in a swimming competition will become jealous if their competitor wins the swimming race first. Another serious problem is that

due to

this

approach, school

children

's talks convert to bigger fights.

Therefore

, their concentration on the study will lose. Another possible issue is that discrimination behaviour increases among students.

For instance

, Friends from the same school hate each other and they become no longer friends. In conclusion, some group of folks prepare their

children

for competitions.

While

children

can benefit from it, it can

also

lead to discrimination at school.
