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.

Competition is everywhere in our society. It is always with us in every way. Weather it is in school, your home, your job, there will always be someone trying to be the best and other wanting to take that place. There is a point where competition becomes unhealthy for us . Some people take competition to a personal level and will get rid of anything that gets in their way from reaching their wanted level. Healthy competition is when you accept that losing will sometimes happen, you re respect your opponent and always put your values first. Nobody likes to lose but no one likes a sore loser either. Accepting to lose a trait that not many of us carry within us , i think that it is something we need to learn to do and accept. I see competition everywhere I am. When I am at home me and my brother compete to who is better at listening to our mom and doing homework first . In school there is always that competition to who is the smartest in the class, who got the higher test score or who is the prettiest or most popular. Competition functions negatively through most people , and it shouldn't be like that. Everyone should accept that not always they will get what they want and fun is the best lesson you should get from competing.
