Doctor Gupta

This week, we covered the different factors that can affect one's success. One idea we discussed was the value of competition in the workplace or at school. Some believe that, in general, competition among people is beneficial to society as a whole. This is captured in the expression "No competition, no progress." Many others, of course, feel that humans, as social animals, naturally cooperate for success. Where do you stand in this debate?

Claire

I agree with the emphasis on the importance of competition. In my view, one of the advantages of competing with others is that I am much more motivated in competitive situations than I would be otherwise. In this way, other people help me perform better, but not through collaboration.

Paul

I think that cooperation as much as competition is the natural order of human society. Cooperation can be very powerful. Resources can be combined and leveraged. I think your success and mine can be complementary. This kind of mutually beneficial relationship can occur at school and at work.
