Journal #2

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 can be both healthy in a way and unhealthy. In many occasions competition can bring out the most of someone. It can encourage individuals to try harder to achieve what they want instead of someone else getting it. It pushes people to the edge of hard work and maybe even improve. Although the tables can turn and it can bring the worst in someone. It can lead people to go to extreme measures to obtain what they cannot. It can lead to cheating which in any occasion is perceived as wrong and lazy. Competition is healthy and unhealthy to a certain extent. For example competition to gain more power between the nation, cultures, community can often lead to a war, but sometimes it can lead to a discusion that opens your mind to different perspectives.
