"I ran on the long tracks for 25 years as a racing horse. As an excellent racing horse, I was happy about being better comparing with my friends and nervous about some friends running in front of me." This sentence is a part of a Korea University student's poster who wishes to leave her school.

In society we are living, competitions are spread out into the various and wide parts of our life. For example in sports, these competitions are well displayed in the English Premier League which our captain of Korean soccer team, Ji-Sung Park plays. People are most interested in the 1st ranked team in the table and the top scorer. That is because people think they must beat other teams and must play better than other players. So they take 'Being competitive to each other' for granted. Also, there are tremendous types of competition like companies trying to get more profits, students trying to get better grades, even among family members: babies trying to get more love to their parents, and too many examples to mention.

Like these examples, competitions are spread out into our society. People living in society are related to capitalism and liberalism thinking they can advance themselves through competing each other. Therefore, they think competitions give positive impacts on both an individual and society. Also, they think too much competition is a problem. But at the same time they believe competitions must exist.

However, the problem of competitions is not about the degree of competitions but competitions themselves. Generally, people often say doing Win-Win Games through completions in good faith is the best way. But, it can't lead to positive results because it will divide into the 1st and the rest or the winner and the loser. It can be assured that in the case of losers, they feel envious, jealous and so on. And thinking about a very different situation of winners, they feel burdened about being the best and nervous about not being able to win always. In short, when we compete each other, it is sure that we will mistrust and be against one another.

These negative situations about competitions are widely spread out. For instance about a tragic accident, 300 audiences died after the soccer match between Peru and Argentina. The reason was audience's riot bursting about referee's judge. Also, there are lots of situations such as thinking only about how to bring triumphs completely neglecting the progress. There were some cases of taking illegal drugs for winning the gold medal in the latest Olympic game. And it can also be cheating their research results to get more supplies from the government.

Then, what is the solution for fierce competitions? It is the 'Cooperation.' Cooperation helps us to make positive relationships. That is, we do not have to worry about causing conflicts or any negative situation. Furthermore, we can have faith in one other. Also, cooperative activities help passive people in modern society to think by themselves and participate actively. In the case of students, they can get lots of knowledge and experience by sharing their thoughts together and can increase the confidence by helping one other. Also, it makes people feel positive about one other and think others are partners. Accordingly, students' grade would increase and it can be positive to learning.

It is not easy to cooperate all the time not even thinking about the competitions Why? Let us questions ourselves about "How many times did we compete during our whole life?" From little things to important situations, you could recall numerous situations that you put yourself in competitions. Therefore, we should try to make two efforts one by one. First, we should try to change the society by developing our thoughts about competitions. Second, we should cooperate making cooperative spirits natural in our society. Cooperation! I'm definitely sure that if you use this power in an appropriate situation, you can go straight to your own way by no accident.
