Raising children to be competitive or cooperative?

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 I will begin with the arguments which are with the competition’s way. The first argument is that encouraging children to be competitive is good because they need it to get higher marks in school and get a good job and promotion in the future. Another argument is that our country needs leaders who must be competitive to lead us onwards. Some jobs need creative and competitive people especially in industrial companies and these companies are always in competition. Yet another argument is that in areas like sports competitiveness is normal and healthy and without it there is no joy in sports.

Now I will talk about the reasons why I prefer raising children in a co-operative way. The first reason is that in the real world, at school and afterwords, people need to co-operate with others; especially teamwork is very important in many jobs these days. Yet another reason is that teaching children to co-operate with others will make them be helpful and will increase their self-esteem.

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.

economic growth vs environment

As we know the worldwide economy is growing very fast. This growth is affecting the future of our planet and us.

Economic growth is very important for every country without the development they will be poor countries. When the country is developing, it provides employment opportunities for many people because there will be many companies and factories. Also, people like to be in developed cities so they can achieve their ambitions and dreams. Also, people like to live in a developed country that provides health care for them and their children. Also, people like for their children to grow up in a richer environment and be in a good schools and universities.

On the other hand, our environment is more important for us. But it is changing while we are developing. These changes are affecting us also. Many scientists believe that climate change is a threat to the future of the planet. As we know the amount of carbon dioxide emissions is increasing dramatically because of the factories and companies. This leads to global warming. This mean the climate will be very high in some places than others. Also, the sea levels are rising because of melting ice in north and south poles which leads to other things like floods. Another thing that happens when the climate changes is drought. Many people are dying for these things.

In conclusion, I think that economic growth and environment are very important for us. But we should not damage our environment and try to make economic growth that helps the environment.
