Will the human race excel faster with a competitive mentality or a cooperative one. ?
In early human history, humans had to cooperate to survive. Humans used to survive on hunting & gathering. People did not only cooperate for self-regarding reasons but also because they are genuinely concerned about survival. Research suggests the importance of avoiding competition to allow the evolution of biological diversity.
So basically, we had to cooperate to survive.
About 10,000 years ago, the first humans put down their roots. Agriculture started, when human settled down sometimes they compete to get a bigger share. Now human became more independent on nature! This is when the idea of competition started. **Who is getting the better yield? Who has the better crops? **
We grew up in a competitive world. We get appraised for getting the full mark in school. We have rankings on who is the best in the class. All of our sports are competitive. We support different teams. We live in different Countries. We have different religions. We get paid differently in our jobs.
Living in this world we learn to think competition by default. We get indoctrinated competition every step through-out life. Ever heard yourself thinking who is better? or I am better than.. OR He/she is better
