Cooperative Learning or Competitive Interaction. In My

Cooperative Learning or Competitive Interaction. In my opinion cooperative learning is when a group of people decide to get a certain solution by solving the basic problems together. Competitive learning, I believe is when one depends on one's own abilities and intelligence to get to the desired solution to a problem. This brings out the confidence and the belief in a person that whatever his individual dreams are, can be achieved with determination and enough conviction to go through and pass various hurdles.

A personally have been in both competitive and cooperative circumstances. I have had times when even trying to achieve my own goals, I have had to ask for help from others more capable under those circumstances.

And there have been times when I have done on my own that which others could not have achieved without "cooperation." I believe that the environment necessary for healthy learning is cooperation, though there may be circumstances where individual attention is what a situation requires but the main grooming of the young brain takes place in a cooperative environment. I remember being in a baseball final in my school where I was the acting captain of the team because the captain had not made it to the playing field.

I, in that moment had to take responsibility over what would happen in the match, how should be the fields placed and how the line-up should be. It turned out great. We won the final. More like a moral victory for us. But I realized that if the team had heard me out, trusted my gut feelings, played out my ideas, or simply putting it cooperated with me at every level, we couldn't have made it as far and as well as we had.

But I also realized that if I had not been the captain and had played my normal position of the team. I would have done the same under my captain as all the team members did under me, I would have made everything around me a competitive environment. I would have said to myself that my excelling or my hitting the home run at a certain point would be important for the team and for my recognition in the team.

If I had not been a captain, I would have had a competitive environment in my head i.e. I would think about how I could excel and shine amongst all else. But when extra responsibility caved in on me I could think of nothing how I would need everyone around me to do his or her level best. So now I believe the difference between competitive and cooperative learning is very clear.

Cooperation involves commitment to the others around you more then yourself so that you can excel as a unit and achieve the common goals. While competitive learning is what one needs to know what he or she is all about. Of course, some situations cannot be handled without the cooperation while some situations just need individual scrutiny and attention. In real life even one cannot exist without the other and that is what learning should teach and in my belief cooperation learning is what explains it explicitly. Conventional wisdom.

The central doctrines of the established theism are well summed: there is a god who is 'a being devoid of a body (i.e. A spirit), present all over the place, the maker and sustainer of the universe, a free agent, capable to do everything (i.e. all-powerful), knowing all things, completely good, a starting place of moral compulsion, absolute, everlasting, an essential being, holy, and worthy of worship. It is sometimes doubted whether such descriptions can be literally meaningful.

As opposed to what, I ask? The belief of that which we have made ourselves? Statues of gold and silver? If what we create is equal to what God has created, then why the need of God.
