Competition and cooperation

　　Competition is a common phenomenon in our society . We compete when we play games, we try to do

　　better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth.

　　Therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the

　　development of our modern society.

　　It is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people

　　stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately,

　　no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence

　　of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going

　　smoothly. In reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Lets

　　take a football game for example. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each

　　member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how

　　skillful each individual player might be. It is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.

　　As far as I'm concerned, I do not agree with the view that competition and cooperation are always in

　　conflict with each other. In my opinion, while advocating competition. We should never forget

　　cooperation. In our social life, cooperation is especially necessary because most work is fulfilled with

　　or through other people. So Ive come to the conclusion that competition are equally important.
