Should children be raised to compete or to co-operate?

There are two ways the parents can raise their own children to make them successful in their future life and set their own place in the society. The two ways are competition and co-operation. In my opinion, raising the children in a co-operative way is better, but competition is also needed.

First of all, I will talk about co-operation. People need to co-operate with each other so no one can live alone. Teamwork is very important for the children that they can benefit from each other. In addition, they will improve their skills in communication. Furthermore, children will gain confidence and will be useful for the society in the future. Working in group will help children to strength friends’ relationships between themselves. Last but not least, they can co-operate in solving homework and studying for exams.

On the other hand, competition also is important thing that can add some fun for the class. It will encourage children to compete each other that they want to get high grades so they will get good jobs in the future. If someone is competitive, he will become creative and good leader for a team because competitive person does not accept loss. For example, competition in sports like playing football is vey fantastic that make players like the game.

In conclusion, although I prefer the children to be raised in a co-operative way I would add that competition is needed also. This is because when people can be competitive and co-operative at the same time they will have a very successful life.
