ANS:-
Children are future of a nation. They should be brought up in a such a way that they turn out to be a better citizens. For this, some believe that the environment should be competitive while others think co-operative manner is more important so that youngster will become more workable.
Firstly, when children are encouraged to be competitive then it will fasten the personal growth and development but it should be within supervision as it will build up healthy competition. The creativity inside them will be triggered as they will try their level best to be on top. The feeling of competition will make them capable of accepting challenges that may come in the way to success. Even though the sense of competition is useful, this focuses mainly in self-growth. This type of nature can create selfish nature in children. For instance, if parents or coach prepare a child for a race to come first rather than preparing him for good performance whether he wins or not. In this case, that child might only think about winning the game. If he encounters a friend needing help during the race then he might ignore that and continues the race to win. This might help in winning the game but he loses the humanitarian race of life.
In other hand, if a child is taught to be co-operative then this will definitely makes him a friendly, social person as socialization is the process of mutual interaction and accomplishing the goal. A sense of collaboration will improve the ability to adjustment because most of the people will co-operate the friendly manner person this give and take environement will make the surrounding adjustable. Co-operative behaviour helps in strengthening the bond between colleagues, friends as a result a better team can be formed which will definitely be useful to an individual for career as well as character. For example: a friendly person wins the heart faster as people feel easy and comfortable with them. But along with co-operation, a child must be taught to be assertive so that none can take advantage of them.
In conclusion, competitiveness focuses self-centric nature whilst cooperativeness will broaden the area of concern. These both nature have it’s own pros and cons. I particularly think that a child with mutual work mental set will turns out to be a better and more capable citizen in future.
