those of us who attended public schools, and maybe private and parochial schools have been taught competition is a good thing. football under the lights on Friday nights has become almost a religion. and rightly so.
but, to dig deeper, just how does the benefits of competition, and the benefits of cooperation co-exist on the same playing field. is the playing field unbalanced?
if the Indians didn't help the Puritans, would the Puritans starved? if Sitting Bull ha cooperated with Gen. George Custer at the Little BigHorn, would the results ended differently?
so, cooperative solutions, versus competitive solutions...what does the dividing line look like?
were humans placed here to compete, so that only the strongest survive?
