I think that competition is good. Your whole entire life is a competition so you might as well learn how to compete while youre young. you compete your whole life in school and when you graduate you compete in college. you then go on and compete in college and then graduate and compete to get a job and then compete with other men or women to find another man or women. Side: Competition is good
Competition is a core aspect of human nature. For better or worse it has brought humanity to where it is today. Most technology you take for granted today has come from economic competition. It is the driving force for innovation. YES TEAM RULES! 3-2 BEAT THAT NO TEAM. Side: Competition is good
Yes, because competition encourages innovation. If someone down the block from me knows how to paint a wall, I'm going to learn to paint a wall AND paint a ceiling, and so on. Now in present day we are step further than we were yesterday. If the Industrial Revolution or the race Arms Race never happened, we wouldn't have any of the good things that came out of it.

Growing up with competition driven down their throats, children learn to be aggressive and to think that the only true measure of success is winning. Caring so much about winning will kill a person's self-esteem when they lose. Growing up, competitive kids will have short tempers, and this will make interacting civilly with others difficult.

Competition stifles innovation more than it creates innovation. Most times employers will hire an average employee rather than an highly-skilled employee for reasons that they don't want to pay the highly-skilled employee more or for that employee to take the employer's job because they're so good at what they do.
