People achieve more success by cooperation than by competition.

This is because people

who cooperate share a myriad of aspects that can be applied to their work. Those in
competition impede on others success and deny themselves the opportunities to embellish
the opportunities of others.
When people cooperate they bring together a plethora of personal talents which can be
used to achieve a common goal. In the Redwall Chronicles by Brian Jacques the animals
of redwall were able to achieve freedom from their masters by working together. They all
brought together special talents such as the moles ability to dig holes and the rabbits
ability to jump walls. They were also able to settle their differences (such as the
competition for berries and between the fox and the raccoon), and they eventually, though
cooperation were vindicated.
Another reason why cooperation is more efficient method of achieving ones means than
competition is because people work better in benevolent setting, which is a usual
component of cooperation. Last fall my high school was rehearsing for the theatre
production of Seussical and I entered with a competitive attitude which hindered the
shows progress by making my fellow cast members uncomfortable. However, when I
started to work as a team with everyone, the fellow cast calmed down, and together we
were able to think straight and achieve our common goal of creating art.
A major reason why cooperation is a preference to competition is because competition
induces civil struggle at a time of crisis while cooperation reduces tension. In the 1930s,
American businesses were locked in a fierce economic competition with Russian
merchants for fear that their communist philosophies would dominate American markets.
As a result, American competition drove the country into an economic depression and the
only way to pull them out of it was through civil cooperation. American president
Franklin Delenor Roosevelt advocated for civil unity despite the communist threat of
success by quoting the only thing we need to fear is itself, which desdained competition
as an alternative to cooperation for success. In the end, the American economy pulled out
of the depression and succeeded communism.
Because of the spirit of unity it induces, cooperation is the key to success. People unified
work as a larger and stronger than those separated by competition, allowing utmost
success to transpire.
