我的第一篇issue
Along with the globalization and the sharp mushrooming both in economy and society, it becomes so common that many people are trying their best for the limited positions in their pursuing of careers. Consequentially, competition which seems to be the only way for a man or woman to survive in this fast changing world is in the focus of more and more people. Therefore the question that whether competition is ultimately beneficial or detrimental to our society triggers a series of reflection. In my opinion, there are both beneficial and detrimental facets of competition, but they are not strictly distinct from each other. Moreover, under certain circumstance, they can even transform into one another.
To begin with, competition either between persons or between countries is really effect in stimulating the development of the whole society. It is a simple notion that only with the unceasing challenge from other competitors is a person able to be alert all the time, always be up-to-date to the field he pursues, and make every possible changes in his behaviors to make himself competent comparing with other colleagues. This is just as Darwin pointed out in his evolutionism: only the fittest one can survive from drastic competition. Besides, many revolutionary breakthroughs are due to the benefit brought along by competition. For example, during both World War I and World War II, to compete with enemy states, or in other words to defeat others in order to survive, many countries made great effort in developing advanced (from the view of that time) weapons. At the same time, related techniques involving electronics, mechanics, biology, aeronautics and many other scientific fields were experienced a remarkable development. After the war, during the recovery of global economy, scientists and engineers made full use of these techniques formerly used for military to manufacturing and people’s daily consumptions. Thanks to these new techniques, or to exactly put it: the beneficial side of competition, our society saw a greater development than ever before.
On the other hand, as we know that each paper has two sides, competition is not always friendly to us, and contrarily it sometimes gives our society negative influence. Let us take an extreme situation for example: when competition is overemphasized by a certain society, many social problems will emerge from the seemingly disimpassioned social atmosphere. After a person has tried all he can but also does not have the opportunity to survive, in extreme despair, he may choose some ways else either to fulfill his instinctive desire to survive, saying committing a crime, or to make up his mind to commit suicide. Both these two choices can have detrimental effect both to himself, to his friends and relatives, and most important, to our society because he fails to be responsible for this society. However, actually we are not taking so stressful competition, but person who is vulnerable in spirit is apt to be underdog in our society. Moreover, also take wars for instances, this kind of international competition between countries brings overwhelming destructions to this planet, the losing of tens of millions of lives, the destroying of vast amount of human civilization, and even the shadow hiding deeply in people’s hearts after many decades of the war.
Having recognized both the advantages and disadvantages of competition, we must also see the possibilities of the transformation of these two. As mentioned above, under ruthless competition, people will more or less have some spiritual stresses, but for some optimists they have the ability to convert this stress into the drive to have more succeeds in their future career. Many international well-known enterprises has experienced this transformation and finally managed to their great achievements, saying Nintendo in Japan, or Hyundai in R. O. Korea.
To sum up, confronting with inescapable competition, what we can do is to make it clear both the beneficial and detrimental facets of competition. However, only this is far more than enough, to be better competent to survive in this fast changing society, we must also have strong will to outlive the strikes both from failures and frustration given by increasingly drastic competition for the sake of our responsibility for this society. What is more, it is equally important to learn how to transform these frustration and depression into the impetus to encourage us to achieve more in our career, which is also beneficial to the whole society. |
