Journal #2

How does competition function in our society? To what extent is it healthy/unhealthy? Offer some real world examples taken from your life, community, culture, state, nation, or world.

Competition functions at every level of our society; from fighting over a toy as a toddler to trying to get better grades than someone else to get a scholarship to working harder to receive a promotion and up until our final moments on this earth while we fight with death. Competition is a healthy and necessary part of human nature. Without competition, humans would have difficulty motivating themselves and others around them. "A competitive world offers two possibilities. You can lose. Or, if you want to win, you can change." Competition, in essence, drives any change within our society and; therefore, it is essential to our survival.
