Cooperation Vs. Competition:

Cooperation: cooperation is a technique to aid knowledge is transmitted from person to person, fostering fellowship and support each other to achieve their goals, that's my opinion

Competition: is how to achieve your goals individually, competing against the other peronas with the intention of always being the first

2. I think the best word is competition, which is a way to measure your capacicites and compete against others who also have large capacities, also it shows you the mistakes you are committing to work on them so

3. as future teachers, I think we should work on both because each has qualities that develop our skills such as leadership and fellowship


4. Webography:



Cooperation, or co-operation is the practice of individuals or larger societal entities working in common with mutually agreed-upon goals and possibly methods, instead of working separately in competition, and in which the success of one is dependent and contingent upon the success of another.
While cooperation is the antithesis of competition, the need or desire to compete with others is a common impetus that motivates individuals to organize into a group and cooperate with each other in order to form a stronger competitive force.
