Hobbes and competition

I absolutly agree with you caroline when you say that competition should not be frowned upon because it is part of human nature. Also, it helps us by making us want to be better which helps our country be better but you have to think about competition also as a really bad thing. We see competition everywhere. Especially in school even though we don't realize it. This kind of competition is like girls or boys trying to dress better or look better and they can also be very mean about it and put other people down. I believe it is a bad thing because we may not realize it but competition harms people in ways we don't even know. By trying to look your best and be your best you could be putting somebody else down and you are doing more harm then good.

I agree with you Katie that competition causes harm to other people and your example about how teenagers dress to look better then one and other. However, is that competition really something that a person who is upset about it harmful, or could it just be seen as helping them become a stronger person and not caring as much about what other people think of them?
