While some think that we should stress competitiveness while teaching youngsters,

others contend that emphasizing on cooperation is more vital. It is preferable, in my opinion,


to teach youngsters to collaborate.
On one side of the debate, some believe that promoting competitiveness in youngsters
would provide better results. The most persuasive argument for believing this is because
competition prepares kids for real-world living. When pupils reach the age of 18, they will
have to compete with other students for a spot at university. Furthermore, there is little
question that people will be competing with many others for a decent job in the employment
market. Another reason is that it motivates them to try their best in all they do. When there is
competition, everyone is pushed to perform to their full potential. For example, if a prize is
given to the student who receives the greatest grade in a specific topic, every student will be
driven to perform his or her best. This promotes development and the quest of perfection.
Regardless of the above considerations, I believe that creating a spirit of collaboration
in youngsters will be more advantageous. Indeed, one of the reasons I adopt this perspective
is because, in many cases, winning is not everything. A culture that is primarily concerned
with winning and competing misses other vital characteristics such as compassion and
kindness. Such characteristics are necessary for society to function properly. Furthermore, I
believe that reaching one's purpose frequently necessitates the capacity to collaborate, rather
than compete, with others. Cooperation and teamwork are frequently necessary in society and
in work. For example, a firm will only fulfill its ultimate aim if all of its pieces collaborate
and complement one another.
To summarize, while both points of view are widely held in society, I feel that
collaboration is a more significant virtue. This is because children must realize that winning
against another person is not the most essential thing, and that working together frequently
allows them to attain their goals. Given this condition, it is suggested that schools make a
greater effort to promote collaborative activities.
