What is the essence of competition?
The essence of competition is that individuals or groups try to surpass or overwhelm each other's psychological needs and behavioral activities.

Every participant does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of others and maximize his own personal interests. The purpose is to pursue attractive goals. Competition is an antagonistic behavior in which individuals or groups strive to surpass each other.

Therefore, its positive role is inspiring, pioneering, promoting social progress and improving labor productivity.

Its negative effect is to dampen the enthusiasm of both sides, make it difficult for limited resources to exert the best benefits, cause disunity between individuals or groups, and is not conducive to the establishment and development of interpersonal relationships. Because the success of one side means that the other side will fail. It can be said that the more opportunities for individuals or groups to compete, the more opportunities for success and failure.

In real life, groups and group members are always in a state of competition and cooperation. There is competition and cooperation, and they often coexist, thus making social life colorful.

Undoubtedly, cooperation and competition have their own characteristics. Cooperation can effectively coordinate interpersonal relationships and improve work efficiency. However, in the process of cooperation, there is also competition among group members, and competition plays a significant role in improving individual work efficiency.

For example, in a basketball team, there is a competitive relationship between teams, and the members of each basketball team are cooperative. Everyone wants to make more contributions to the whole team. The team with high shooting percentage is naturally the winner, while the shooter needs the close cooperation of other members.

In addition, when a group cooperates, it will inevitably compete with other members. Therefore, competition and cooperation are interdependent and indispensable.
