Competition versus cooperation
Philosophy of Competition and Cooperation The inherent nature of competition is such that there is never enough room for everyone involved to be a winner. In this way, competition clearly causes a separation between the winners, and the losers. ... Competition results in a win-lose situation. On the other hand, a win-win situation can be easily achieved through the process of cooperation. Instead of causing a division between the winners and the losers, cooperation is a guiding light to unify all parties in victory. Cooperation is the only driving force that makes everyone a winner. The acknowledgment of cooperation as the best way in achieving excellence in evident in the global, economic and social arenas of our world today, and in these three areas, as the opposition, we will show you holistically that competition is not superior to competition in achieving excellence, because excellence through competition compromises on moral values and is therefore not the best possible result. ... As the 1st speaker, I will talk about how Competition retards excellence, and my 2nd speaker will address Trends towards Cooperation. My 3rd speaker will then further the case, and through these issues we will show you that competition is not superior to cooperation because the benefits of achieving excellence through cooperation outweigh the benefits of excellence through competition. Competition Retards Excellence Ladies and Gentlemen, let us now look at how competition retards excellence.

Competition blinds the need to comply with moral and social values, and is solely end result motivated.
