70. “Competition is a destructive force in society.”
What? Who came up with this? I can’t even see the someone agreeing to this…when you say competition, I think a race, businesses competing, or products. Competition isn’t dangerous-it’s necessary. If there was no competition in business, a single company would have a monopoly over the whole industry. What good is it only buying from one business? Maybe you like them, but not everyone else does. Besides, who’s to say they won’t become corrupt from all of the power?
I think competition is an important driving force. It makes people push onward. It’s the foundation of sports-and just about everything else. People need to compete and challenge each other. What fun is it knowing you’re the best just because know one stands up to you? You might be no good at all. You need people to challenge and overcome, to prove your own talents, or even self-worth.
Looking at it from a more moral-perspective, I guess I can see why people would agree. People competing will most likely lead to fighting-entire countries fighting over natural resources for instance. Competition is what drives people to the edge, and the extreme. Sometimes that extreme does entail hurting, lying, and cheating. But, looking at competition as a proving factor, as well as a factor that is more equal, I think competition is necessary. I couldn’t see civilization without it.

I agree with you; competition is necessary. The world would fall apart if there was no competition. People would constantly be looking toward others to supply their needs and wants and then those would be above all. How could one really know if they have the best? Everyone would only be given one item and never be able to see its true potential. Really no one would know their own potential.
