Competition
Competition (Is it Good or Is it Bad?) - Teal Swan
The phenomenon of competition is something that we live with every day. We are measured by others according to the conscious and unconscious beliefs in competition. Catherine G. Latterell presents us with various assumptions regarding the idea of competition which represent various perspectives.
As you read through the information presented, examine whether you agree with the author's ideas that:
1) Competition is part of our DNA, and manifests in our daily activities
2) Competition makes us better and has definite benefits
3) Competition defines winners and losers so that hard work defines winners and laziness defines losers
Also, consider if these assumptions should be challenged as being potentially misleading or false, particularly since contemporary American culture focuses so much on winning and losing or succeeding and failing.
