Prompt: Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults.  Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Some teachers and parents suggest that rivalry between children should exist, while others think that children should work together because it will help them in future. Before rendering my opinion, I think it is necessary to look at the arguments of both sides. Ċ There is a widespread belief that competition will be more useful for children and has great advantages in modern society . For instance, since school years child realize how to survive in such competitive environment and become more independent, confident, flexible and find out how quickly get out of complex situation . What is more People who have such abilities, generally have lots of opportunities to gain competitive jobs or be leaders of the masses. But there is a darker side of this statement, that people, because of their individualism and self-centeredness can not work in collaboration with somebody or perform the duties which bosses required from them. Without such qualities they can not be successful in life and build their career. Ċ On the other hand, people think that Children who taught to work in team are able to maintain good relations with others, access different points of view and present their opinions. Moreover, they have abilities such as solidarity , tenderness and appreciation as well, which become advantages when children will enter to the adult world. In addition, work in cooperation easier and expedient because people can review a variety of ideas and offers, which brings beneficial results. But cooperation sometimes leads to conflicts between people, if there disagree with each other or argued because they have different minds and views. Ċ After analyzing both points of view, I came to the conclusion that cooperation and competition are two indissoluble things, but for children I convinced that team work is a healthier option.
