Darwin suggested that the process of evolution is one based on competition.
This deadly competition weeds out the weak and only the fittest of the species
survives. Humans, being the product of millions of years of evolution, are by
nature, competitive beings. Yet, humans are also social beings. Like the bees in
the hive, we are not very successful living completely on our own. We need to
cooperate with other individuals for our survival. Thus, a conflict ensues,
between our innate competitiveness, and our need to cooperate. There are pros
and cons associated with both. However, it is my belief that overall,
competition, is more detrimental than beneficial to human society.
First, let us try to identify why there is competition in the first place.
In an environment abundant with resources, where supply outstrips demand, there
is very little need for the inhabitants to fight with each other over them. This
is not the case on planet earth. Resources are limited, and there is constant
jostling to get to the front of the queue to get acquire them. For example,
thousands of prospective students apply to gain entrance to top universities
around the world, but there are only a handful of places in those universities.
Thus, there is competition to get into to these hallowed institutions of higher
learning.From a utilitarian perspective, competition is a good thing. In
evolution it is responsible for the elimination of "weak" genes. In the business
environment, it gets rid of the weaker players. In politics, it weeds out
unpopular candidates. In academia, it gets rid of weak students.
Furthermore, competition leads to self improvement. Businesses will strive
to offer better products and services at lesser prices. The consumer reaps rich
rewards from this competitive spirit. Politicians strive to do the utmost for
the people, so they would get reelected. Students excel in there studies, trying
to outdo each other.
Thus, ostensibly, competition is responsible for the betterment of the
society as a whole. However, this is just the superficial view. Underneath the
surface, competition, in every aspect, is slowly eating away at the very fabric
of the society.
While it is true to say that competition in corporate world has brought
great benefits to the consumer, the society as "Missed A here"whole is playing a
great price for it. Most businesses are exploiting cheap labour in the third
world to maximise their profits. There are thousands of sweatshops run by well
known western corporations in countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh and China.
People are forced to work in squalid conditions, often 16 hours a day. They are
lucky to receive a dollar a day for there labours. The moment a government in
any of these countries try to improve the working conditions of the employees,
these multinational giants flee the country, often leaving whole communities
facing financial ruin. The corporations are aware that there are plenty of other
labour markets that could be exploited with gay abandon.
That is just the human cost. What about the environmental costs?
Competition has forced many corporations to "stream line" their operations.
Environmental standards are normally the first victims of this "stream line"
process. A significant amount of environmental pollution and land degradation
has been blamed on industry, yet the factories keep producing more and more.
Thousands of items go unsold each year due to competition. Only a fraction of
this merchandise is recycled. The rest goes to the already overflowing
landfills.
In politics, the detrimental effects of competition are blatant.
Politicians often resort to popular yet socially damaging policies to gain
votes. These measures include imprudent spending to rabble rousing. The current
volatility in Israel and Palestine, the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka, and the
famine in Zimbabwe are all, at least partially, problems created by politicians
to get elected.
It has been said that education is one sphere where competition has always
had a beneficial influence. Even this claim is dubious. Due to competition
students are less likely to exchange ideas with one another, thus enriching the
student population as whole. Furthermore, competition drives students to study
well to pass exams, but not to gain wisdom. Students spend many hours preparing
for standardised tests; tests which many believe are inherently flawed. Thus, it
is often not the most intellectual student who succeeds, but the most
competitive.
Competition is an inborn human trait. It has some positive qualities, but
overall, it does far more harm than help to the society. As intelligent beings,
humans can transcend their evolutionary weaknesses. Thus, humans should rely
less competition and more cooperation for the sake of the society.
