Competition and cooperation are going along together in the modern society. And there has been an on-going argument on which to be more essential in children’s education. In my opinion, they are both necessary, and the society cannot grow any more without either of them.
On one hand, competition concerns about the subsistence of individuals and companies. We can take Motorola for instance. He used to be the strongest cooperation in telecommunication industry. No one could compete with him. But he slowed his steps in exploration of digital communication, which gave a good chance for companies like now has possessed more than 30% of the market, while SIMENCE 25%. To individuals,the thing is the same. No employer would like to employ a man without ambition and progressive spirit.
On the other hand, we can achieve no goals without cooperation. Along with the division of labor in society, no one can fulfill a task by himself. There are many examples in our lives. In the designing process of a PC game, it cost many people to work together. Some work on the ideas, some paints the images, some edit the music, and some deal with the programs. Without this cooperation, the production would break down. Since jobs are more and more complicated, the only way to deal with them is separating people into groups, and making them cooperate with each other.
You can tell from my comments above, without competitions we will be able to live peacefully though develop slowly, but without cooperation, we cannot live in a modern society. Furthermore,since China put out the one-child policy, Chinese children are competing with each other drastically, what they are short of is cooperation. So, instead of competition,children should learn more about cooperation.
