Portfolio task 4

Competing and cooperating are the most important aspects for children to become useful adults in the future. Some people think that competition should be taught for children. Others think that cooperation will make the child a sucessful adult. In this essay i will write about how people can gain from competing and cooperating in life experience.
Competition can help children gain alot of physical and mental experience. Such as playing sports to get the first place, and studying hard to achieve the full marks or an A score in grades. The reason why some adults encourages competition is to make children work harder to achieve their golas. Children will also be better at solo games and self study. The problem with that is they will not be able to help their friends, because they were taught that they need to work alone to achieve their goal.
On the other hand, children who are taught toi cooperate will work as a team to achieve their goal. Working as a team will benefit the child in the future, he/she will help her friend if they are under pressure. For example a guy studying for an electrical exam, and hes under pressure because he does not understand the equations, his friends will help him so he gets a good mark. Also in sports such as soccer, the team should work together to win the games.
In conclusion, children who are taught to cooperate will do better in life than children who are encouraged to compete.
