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.
What i believe is that competition can both unite people but it divides them at the same time. Because yoy could think about for example in sports. Differen teams dont get together because of distance apart from eachother. But during sporting events teams get together and play for the fun of it. So in a sense competion can bring people togetherduring those events. Competition can bring us together for a short time but soon different people are divided again and resume their normal lives sometimes not seeing the people thay met at competiion again. When competition is over people resume living being divided because of the end of competition. During competitions there can be bitter rivalries between the groups which will make them remain seperate during and after competition. When groups have a bitter ruvalry between eachother and hate eachother just to win a competition it results as unhealthy and evil for our society. However when they compete against eachother for the fun of it then it is not evil and healthy for the two groups. For example im in marching band. When we perform fieldshow or mach we compete against other schools. Sometimes we can have really fun and perform the best we can to win awards. Its not always that way. One time we had fun was during the veterans day parade as we were waiting to participate in the parade we competed musically against madison high school. it was fun and we got along because we enjoyed doing it. So this battle of the bands that we had was an example of a healthy relationship since we didnt hate eachother and got along. We were united by the competition of bands but sadly we are now divided because of the end of band competitions.
