Some people think that competition at work, at school and in daily life is a good thing. Others believe that we should try to cooperate more, rather than competing against each other.

One group of

has an opinion that competition should be promoted as a way to increase children’s ability

friendships and families. Every person has their own strengths and weaknesses.

To sum up
, in my opinion, challenging each other and putting

are two great tasks which society should achieve together for the development of a comprehensive society.
People
should have an opportunity to express their leadership qualities and teamwork skills on different kinds of occasions.
Thus
, the development of humanity will be diversified.
