topic： competition between friends will have negative effects. agree or disagree?
The abilities of competition and cooperation are often talked about in almost any areas, such business, sports, politics, and academy, to name but a few. Recently, the word, competition, draws more attention because the global economic situation is gloomy and resources are limited and consequently people have fiercer competition in work and study. After considering about competition, some people claim that competition among friends will have a negative effect. However, I don’t agree with this statement. I think competition among friends is possible to beget negative outcomes, but it is not necessarily so. If controlled well, competition will entail many merits and few shortcomings.
To begin with, I admit that if not controlled well, competition among friends actually will lead to negative outcomes. For example, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal once were very close teammate, partner and friends. They together won the NBA post- season championship for three times. Of course, strong competition existed between these two great basketball players, because either of them wanted to be the number one in the L.A. Lakers. Unfortunately, they didn’t keep the competition in positive way. They competed with each other in salary, privilege in team, and many other aspects unrelated to basketball. Eventually, their relation broke up and the performance of whole team was threatened. Facts tell us competition among friends is possible to have negative effects.
However, people should not be blind to the fact that if controlled well, competition among friends will have positive effects, making each individual developing more rapidly. One good example is the study group. Why many students like to study together with friends? Of course, they can cooperate, discussing and solving questions together. One another important reason is the good atmosphere of competition. When studying with friends, one individual are more likely to overcome the bad habit, procrastination. The reason is that every person has sense of emulation and no one wants to fall behind after others. So if I finish 5 questions, my friends will try to finish 6. If my friend fulfills his task within 1 hour, I will try to complete it within 55 minutes. If someone gets 90 in the biology test, next time others will try to get a higher score. You see, that is how competition among friends works in positive way. If people in the study group can prevent bad things from happening, such as cheating in test to get better grade, all people will definitely benefit from competition.
In conclusion, competition among friends does not necessarily beget negative outcomes. Whether bad effects will happen depends on people’s ability to control competition works in healthy way. If competition among friends works in positive way, all people will reap a lot from it. |
