Competition Versus Cooperation

Date: 22/06/2017

I don’t like competition. I never have. From a young age, we are taught to be in constant rivalry with our peers. In the classroom, we are told that those with higher marks are “better”, while those with lower marks are lazy or inept. Schools force students to participate in sports carnivals and the like. They break us up into teams and make us race each other in arbitrary events such as javelin, high jump, and 800 metre running races. We are forced to jump into pools and swim our guts out. The winners are put on podiums and praised. The losers are brushed to the side and ignored. Our workplaces give promotions to the most competitive employees. Shy people who are actually good at what they do are often left behind. Those who are willing to “crack some heads” and “rattle some cages” are more likely to be promoted than those with true talent who lack the competitive drive.
