Examples where cooperation can promote social development more than competition

Record of other people's "Debate on whether cooperation or competition can make civilization progress better"

The host said: Now I will introduce the affirmative argument 1: Wu Ying; the affirmative argument 2: Shen Tao; 3 Defender: Wang Qian; Defence 4: Ding Li; Defence 1: Zhu Xiaoman; Opposition 2: Jiang Yuekai; Opposition 3: Wang Lina; Opposition 4: Zhang Xiyi.

Today our affirmative argument is: Cooperation can make civilization progress better than competition. The opponent's argument is: competition can make civilization progress more than cooperation.

The host said to everyone: Now the debate will begin. First, the affirmative and first defense students will state their own views.

Opening argument stage:

The affirmative 1 debater says to everyone: Dear judges, guests, and fellow debaters of the other party, hello everyone!

Our Chinese textbook says, "Modern society is a society full of competition, but it is also a society that requires more cooperation. As a modern person, only by learning to cooperate with others can we achieve greater success." Competition and cooperation are two forces that constitute life and social survival and development. There is competition in social life, but there is also cooperation.

"The Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang." The more people there are, the more wisdom they have. As long as they are good at cooperating and exerting the power of cooperation and unity, they can come up with solutions and achieve success. Successful people are good at cooperation, because no one can be a lonely bird. There is a popular saying in Japan: One Chinese can defeat one Japanese, but three Chinese cannot defeat three Japanese. Although this statement means that Chinese people have the ability to compete and succeed individually, but they are not good at collective collaboration. Take the national men's volleyball team, men's basketball team, and men's football team as an example: in terms of height, we are much taller than the Japanese and Korean players; in terms of training time, we are also above them. Why do we often lose to Japan and South Korea in some key games? One of the important reasons is that they have exerted a spirit of cooperation, at least they cooperate better than us. It can be seen that no matter what they do, people who are good at cooperation can achieve success with the joint efforts of both parties.

However, there are many problems in competition, which can easily lead to the deterioration of interpersonal relationships and make people become more selfish and narrow-minded. It also makes many people feel great pressure, feel at a loss what to do, and even suffer from serious psychological disorders. Therefore, we believe that cooperation is more important than competition and can make civilization progress. Thanks!

The host said to everyone: Thank you to the students who argued the case. Next, I would like to ask the students who argued the case to state their position and please speak.

Anti-side 1 would like to say to everyone: Dear debate friends, hello everyone!

Modern society is constantly progressing due to competition! Even more energetic because of competition! We believe that competition in modern society can advance civilization more than cooperation. The pursuit of development competition can turn the backward into the advanced. Society follows this eternal law of competition to move toward modernity and the future. For individuals, the premise of competition is that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the competition, and the result must be the survival of the fittest, which ensures social fairness; the process of competition is for everyone to do their best, which in turn encourages individuals to exert their enthusiasm. In this era that calls for the strong, competition is not only a requirement of the times, but also a challenge to human nature. Let us face this era of competition directly!

My fellow debaters, aren’t you here just to compete with us? If we follow your logic, wouldn't it make sense for us to debate here today? Today's debate is a competition to win or lose and promote progress. Thank you

The host said to everyone: Thank you, classmate Yibian from the opposite side. The speech phase of the competition is over.

Record 2 of the Debate on Which of Cooperation and Competition Can Make Civilization Progress

2. Attack and Defense Stage:

The host said to everyone: The next step is to enter the third stage. The second stage is the attack and defense stage. We first ask the affirmative and second debaters to add their own opinions.

The affirmative side 2 would like to say to everyone: Judges, opponents and friends: Hello everyone!

Mr. Sun Yat-sen said: "Species are based on competition as their principle, and humans are based on cooperation. If humans follow this principle, they will prosper, and if they do not follow this principle, they will perish." It can be seen how important cooperation is.

There is a popular saying in the north and south of the Yangtze River: everyone rows to sail a big boat. Everyone will never forget the devastating flood in 1998! Facts have proved that the victory of this special battle requires the joint efforts of all flood-fighting officers and soldiers and people of all ethnic groups across the country, in order to finally build an unbreakable flood-fighting Great Wall on the backbone of our nation.

We will never forget that when SARS was raging in 2003, it was with the joint efforts of leaders at all levels from the central to local levels and people from all walks of life that we united and achieved the final victory. victory. Therefore, all of this proves that "cooperation can make civilization progress more than competition."

Due to competition, the relationship is indifferent. You are on guard against me, and I am on guard against you. It is common to appear harmonious on the surface but compete with each other in your heart. Fellow debater on the other side, isn’t this all caused by “competition”?

The host said to everyone: Thank you, the second debate student of the affirmative side. Next, let’s listen to the rebuttal from the second debate students on the opposing side.

Anti-side 2 says to everyone: Hello everyone!

The other party's first debate was fluent, and the other party's second debate was eloquent. However, neither the microwave nor the angry waves could wash away the questions of the other debater's friends. The opponent's first argument pointed out that competition will make human beings become more selfish and narrow-minded. The various harmful effects listed by the opponent's second argument are not caused by competition, but by his own unhealthy psychology.

Our ancestors have long told us that only through competition can civilization and progress be achieved. Competition is conducive to the creation, discovery and selection of talents in society. As Lenin said: "Competition cultivates enterprising spirit, perseverance and bold initiative on a very broad scale." Competition is the mother of social progress.

Let us enter a competitive society and be strong. Finally, I would like to ask my fellow debaters, if you are so opposed to competition, does it mean that you are actually afraid of competition?

The host said to everyone: Thank you to the second debate student from the negative side. Next, we will invite the third debate student from the affirmative side to speak.

The affirmative 3 debaters say to everyone: Chairman, fellow judges and fellow debaters from the other side, hello everyone!

The first argument of the opposition mentioned: Today’s debate is a kind of competition, and the second argument of the opposition also mentioned: Competition causes unhealthy psychology. The opposing debater's view that competition is the apple of his eye and a panacea is completely wrong. Could it be said that only competition can promote the development of social civilization? Let me ask you, "Things that have nothing to do with oneself are kept high", "I only know how to take, but I am unwilling to contribute"; I only emphasize personal competition and do not care about the development and future of the country. Where does the development of civilization come from? Therefore, you It is nonsense to say that competition is conducive to the development of civilization.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan and Liu Bei united to fight against Cao Cao, establishing the situation of the Three Kingdoms; the birth of "Das Kapital" was no longer the same. Is it also the result of the cooperation between Marx and Engels?

Everyone knows Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. Many people may be crazy about him. Jordan's success cannot be separated from the cooperation and assistance of his teammates. . Looking back on the past and looking towards the future, we firmly believe that "cooperation can make civilization progress"!

The host said: The content is wonderful and the expressions are also very good. Next. Let’s listen to the counter-argument of the three opponents.

Hello, fellow judges and debate friends! Now I will give my defense statement.

The society requires that people use their talents according to their abilities and compete for jobs. Competition is more conducive to a legalized society than cooperation, ensuring the orderly conduct of competition. For example: You can't cooperate with the classmates next to you in the college entrance examination, right? In sports competitions, you have to rely on competition. Competing for the championship, right? In the talent selection process, if there is no competition, it will only be "a sad thing". If there is competition, it will be "reducing talents according to one type"! Talents can be selected through competition. Can we select through cooperation? Selection?

Please answer the questions from me and the second debater directly. Please do not avoid the questions.

The host said to everyone: Thank you for the third debater.

Record 3 of the Debate on Which of Cooperation and Competition Can Make Civilization Progress

3. Free Debate Stage:

The host said to everyone: I heard representatives from both sides talk about "competition and cooperation" "Now is the time for them to show off their eloquence. Zhengfang must speak first.

Now the free debate begins!

The 4th affirmative said to everyone: ( ) Behind every achievement and honor, isn’t this the result of everyone’s joint cooperation?

The opponent’s 4th defense said to everyone: In the statement just now, the opponent’s 3rd defense mentioned the cooperation between Liu Bei and Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao. Their purpose was to enhance their strength and compete better. This is not right. Is competition more important than cooperation?

Opposition 1 would like to ask everyone: I would like to ask my friends on the other side, can civilization progress if the United States, Britain and other countries cooperate to attack Iraq?

The opposition 4th debate said to everyone: The other side mentioned that our football team cannot beat Japan and South Korea. The reason is not because we lack the sense of cooperation, but because we lack the sense of competition. No matter how high our technology is, Without a sense of competition and a desire to win, it is impossible for us to win no matter what.

The affirmative side 2 said to everyone: This shows that cooperation is the basis of competition, and competition is just a means at best. Doesn’t this also show that cooperation is more important than competition?

Opposition 2: The competition is about winning or losing. Isn’t winning and losing also competition? Why do you want to compete here? Isn’t it also for competition?

The affirmative side 1 would like to say to everyone: Isn’t the competition between both parties conducted on the basis of cooperation? Without such good cooperation, would it be possible to achieve such good results? This just shows that "cooperation can better promote the progress of civilization"!

The 3rd argument of the affirmative says to everyone: some companies compete in order to make them unprofitable or even go bankrupt. Isn’t this caused by competition?

The affirmative 1 would like to say to everyone: Many famous musicians at home and abroad can dominate the stage. Behind their success, there are not many people working together and working together. ?

The first defense of the affirmative said to everyone: A professor of psychology at Harvard University in the United States, he listed "sincere cooperation with colleagues" as one of the nine elements of success, and "unsociable words and deeds, not good at cooperating with others" ” is listed as the first of the nine factors of failure.

The fourth argument for the affirmative tells everyone: The first argument for the negative is that most families in China now have only children. These "little emperors" and "little princesses" especially lack the sense of cooperation. In such a society, Under the conditions, if we no longer cultivate the spirit of cooperation, but focus on cultivating the spirit of competition, what will happen to our society?

The affirmative 4th debate said to everyone: United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said: "No matter what career you choose in the future, you must learn to cooperate with others." This is the summary of the Secretary-General's 40 years of diplomatic experience.

Anti-party 3 said to everyone: A sense of competition is an indispensable condition for the growth of talents. Competition for further education and business competition are very fierce. Then, the selection of cadres in studies is also competition. Is it possible to swim against the current? Isn't it a competition?

Anti-party 4 would like to say to everyone: Modern society requires the use of talents according to their ability and competition for employment. I would like to ask my fellow debaters, is competition more important than cooperation? You can't work together, right?

The affirmative side 2 said to everyone: There is such a fable: the monkey and the elephant both want to eat the fruit from the tree on the other side. Monkeys cannot cross rivers and elephants cannot climb trees. After the two parties negotiated, the elephants carried the monkeys across the river, and the monkeys climbed up the trees to pick fruits. They all ate the fruits. This is the benefit achieved by learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses and working closely together.

Anti-party 2 said to everyone: If we continue to cooperate and have no spirit of innovation, mankind will only stop moving forward. If competition is not so important, then what are we still arguing here today?

The third argument for the affirmative said to everyone: The first argument for the negative side said: Competition stimulates people's enthusiasm, but it depends on one person's strength alone. Can strength achieve your goals?

Anti-party 1 would like to say to everyone: Can the evil forces in society cooperate with each other, run rampant and commit all kinds of evil, can civilization progress? The Iraqi people have suffered from the disasters of the war brought by the United States. Do we want the Iraqi people to cooperate with the United States?

The affirmative party 3 said to everyone: We have learned such a story: ants suddenly encountered a fire on the way forward. Many ants quickly formed a ball and rolled quickly to escape the sea of ????fire.

Just imagine, if everyone is scrambling to escape, and if there is no team spirit, it would be strange if the tiny ant family is not completely wiped out!

The counter-participant 2 said to everyone: I would like to ask my fellow debaters, do you cooperate or compete during the exam? If you cooperate, it is cheating!

Anti-party 1 would like to say to everyone: Isn’t it also a kind of competition for other countries to participate in the Olympic Games? Could it be that athletes from all over the world cooperate and share the gold medals equally?

The affirmative 4 debate said to everyone: I would like to ask my fellow debaters, is it a mistake for the teacher to let us do cooperative learning as much as possible in the classroom?

Anti-party 1 would like to say to everyone: International competition is becoming more complex. I would like to ask my fellow debaters, what keeps the market dynamic? It is obvious that competition is more conducive to the progress of civilization than cooperation, and is more conducive to the metabolism and overall progress of society.

(To the front) The 3rd affirmative said to everyone: If athletes from various countries do not cooperate with each other, can the competition in the Olympic Games be successful?

(To the front) Opponent 4 Debate said to everyone: Opponent 4 Debate, isn’t our cooperative learning today just to enter the society in the future and better participate in competition?

The affirmative side 2 will tell everyone: People who are not good at cooperation will find others difficult to get along with wherever they go. People who are good at cooperation will get along well with anyone they meet.

Argument 1 versus Argument 4: The United Nations' "International Commission on Education for the 21st Century" proposed the "Four Pillars of Education" to guide the cultivation of talents. The so-called "four pillars" refer to learning to recognize, learning to do, learning to cooperate and learning to survive.

The host said to everyone: Sorry, please pause. Due to time constraints, I can't let you play as much as you want.

Record 4 of the debate on whether cooperation or competition can make civilization progress more

Summary speech stage:

The host said to everyone: After a wonderful and fierce freedom Debate, now we ask students from the opposing side to summarize their speeches.

The fourth argument of the opposing party said to everyone:

The opponent’s first argument emphasized that cooperation is more important than competition in modern society, which is an exaggeration. We have no eternal enemies, but we have eternal national and national interests. To safeguard our interests, only competition is the most effective way. The coexistence of greatness and frustration just shows that competition has richer connotations and more charming charm than cooperation.

Finally, I would like to emphasize once again that competition in modern society can make civilization progress more than cooperation:

First, competition is the fundamental driving force for the development of modern society.

Second, competition can ensure a society that prioritizes efficiency while taking into account fairness. Promote the correct application of rights through political competition; clarify the truth, goodness and beauty of the human spirit through cultural competition, etc.

The debate is coming to an end. The competition tests our knowledge and wisdom, and also allows us to fight for our glory and dreams. Therefore, let us sincerely say: thank you for this great era of competition!

The host said to the 4 negative debate students: Thank you to the 4 negative debate students. Finally, we asked the 4 positive debate students to summarize their speeches, which also lasted 5 minutes.

The 4th argument of the affirmative says to everyone: Dear judges and friends!

The opponent 1 has repeatedly emphasized the importance of competition, but we would like to ask the opponent to clearly realize that there is a lot of cooperation in the competition process itself, and competition is to promote better cooperation. , and there are still many problems in competition, such as competition making people narrow-minded and selfish, easily causing the deterioration of interpersonal relationships, etc.

The fierce competition in reality makes many people feel great pressure, at a loss as to what to do, and even suffer from serious psychological disorders. How can these prove that competition promotes the progress of civilization? Only cooperation can promote the progress of civilization.

First of all, cooperation can help people survive better. , society is becoming increasingly complex. Only by joining hands and cooperating with each other can we tide over the difficulties.

Secondly, cooperation produces talents that are more adaptable to the development of modern society than competition. Cultivate good psychological qualities such as caring for others, solidarity and friendship.

Third, cooperation is more conducive to promoting the development of science than competition. Isn't the successful development of my country's "Shenzhou 5" spacecraft the result of the joint cooperation of many scientific researchers?

Fourth, cooperation can promote social stability more than competition. The success in fighting "floods", "SARS" and "bird flu" is the best example.

Let us join hands and cooperate together to create a more civilized future!

The host said to everyone: Time is up, thank you to the affirmative 4 students.

Epilogue:

The host said to everyone: In the midst of the war of words, between cooperation and competition, which one can make civilization progress more? Let the judging teachers figure it out!

Seizing cooperation is the basis of competition, and the ultimate goal of competition is also for better cooperation.

Any competition is based on cooperation. Without cooperation, where would competitiveness come from? You can directly ask your opponent's debate partner whether they are the best in their department's internal competition for this debate. If the answer is yes, then you can compliment them first, and then ask them if they are so strong today. As for the cooperation of colleagues in their department, what about the cooperation of several of their debaters? I don't believe he dares to say no. You can thank him for supporting your point of view. Cooperation is the basis of competition. The most important thing is the foundation. A tall building cannot be built without a foundation. So cooperation is higher than competition. If you ask them whether they came out of competition within the department, and they say they did not come out of competition but signed up by themselves, then you ask them whether they studied together before the competition, and whether they are now cooperating and debating with us. You said that in this process, you did not compete, but you cooperated, which fully proved that cooperation is higher than competition! ! !

First. Cooperation is an inevitable requirement for the progress of human society. Humans are social animals, and social cooperation is the "human nature" that promotes social progress, while mutual restraint, consumption, and competition with the goal of winning are manifestations of human "animal nature." We have repeatedly emphasized that the basic law of "survival of the fittest by natural selection" is a biological concept. Human beings are not just people in nature! Human sociality fundamentally determines that if humans want to survive and develop on this planet, they must follow the principle of mutual cooperation and common development. Only in this way, cooperation in the sense of human development is the most fundamental way to promote social progress. strength. Unity is strength! From a historical perspective, it is cooperation that allows humans to bid farewell to the primitive society of eating hair and drinking blood. On the contrary, it is the competition for land, population and living space that causes tragedies of bloodshed and massacre to be staged again and again; it is the resource of society* Sharing and division of labor allow capitalist society to create countless valuable wealth, but it is the yearning for world hegemony and mutual containment and boring competition that make peace-seeking humans bear the social regression of two world wars and the Cold War! The other classmate studies and studies history. I think he must know these truths. Competition, and it must be benign and reasonable competition based on social welfare, plays a role in the process of social progress only in promoting the improvement of efficiency and accelerating the speed of social progress to a certain extent. It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Cooperation in the fundamental sense is still "no skin left", so how can the superficial competition be "hairy"?

Second. Cooperation is also an inevitable trend in social progress. We believe that from the perspective of the definition of cooperation, an important symbol of social progress is the increasing refinement of social division of labor, the increasing sharing of social resources, and the increasing improvement of social welfare. The existence of cooperation is the requirement and result of the refinement of social division of labor, and is also an important basis for promoting the further rationalization of social division of labor. The most likely result of competition, especially vicious and extreme competition that is not based on cooperation, is that the winner takes all. , It is the law of the jungle, it is annexation, it is monopoly, it is one word, it is the world. This is undoubtedly contrary to the requirements of economic, political, and spiritual civilization advocated by our current society, as well as the globalization of international economic and trade and the multi-level development trend of international society. The wheel of history is rolling forward, and our fellow debaters must know better than us what the consequences of going against the trend of historical development will be.

Third. Competition will inevitably bring about a certain degree of mutual containment and consumption within the scope, resulting in the occupation and waste of limited resources. Cooperation can avoid similar problems to the greatest extent.

A few years ago, the high-quantity, low-quality duplication of construction across the country was caused by the fact that there was no mutually coordinated cooperation mechanism between regions and they just blindly pursued formalistic face-saving projects and competed with each other at all costs? Competition is a double-edged sword. Without the strong hand of cooperation, you will most likely be injured in the end! Haven't we suffered enough from internal low-level, vicious competition, attrition, and lack of unity and cooperation? In the debate just now, we repeatedly asked our fellow debaters how to solve and improve issues such as mutual containment and consumption caused by competition, as well as the occupation and waste of social resources, but our fellow debaters did not give a direct answer.

Fourth. Regarding the other party's theory of "survival of the fittest" brought about by competition, thereby optimizing the rational allocation of social resources, we believe that this is indeed an advantage of competition, but this advantage only applies to nature. What we are discussing here today is social progress, which falls within the scope of sociological anthropology and history. The laws of nature regarding species evolution, selection and even ruthless elimination do not fully apply to human society. For some endangered and rare species such as giant pandas that have been difficult to reproduce and continue under the natural conditions of modern society, we cannot allow them to "survive the fittest" and "fend for themselves", let alone people in the process of social development? According to the logic of the opponent's argument that the "survival of the fittest" is the law of human society's progress, should we "exterminate" those who are unable to occupy certain social resources due to limited personal abilities or who are about to be ruthlessly eliminated by society? According to this theory of competition promoting social progress, wouldn't the contribution of China's 800 million farmers who live at the bottom of the real society and are the least competitive to social progress be wiped out in one stroke? Isn’t it possible that the solution to China’s farmers’ problems is far away? Wouldn't it be true that respect for citizens' rights and the establishment and improvement of social democracy and the legal system have become a blank check that cannot be cashed? There are also disadvantaged groups in society who are currently facing major survival challenges and even crises. Will they not also become victims of the other party's so-called "competition promotion theory"? Sacrifice and elimination of one group in exchange for the "win" of another group. Is this what the other party calls promoting social progress? Can society really progress in this kind of tragic competition that is close to massacre? Where is the warmth in such a progressive and developed society? Where is the sensibility? Where is the right to survival and equality of life? If this "competition theory" of survival of the fittest unfortunately holds true, then I would rather society not progress or develop!

Finally, I want to say that while competition promotes social development and progress, it also obliterates some of the most essential things about human survival and development. When we do whatever it takes to compete, we still have to do it in the name of promoting social progress. When we were young, have we ever thought about how lonely we will be when one day we win the competition and no longer compete and cannot cooperate? Marx told us that communism is the highest level of human social progress, and communism is a resurrection of ancient clans in a progressive society of freedom, equality and fraternity, and it is a high-level resurrection. As the "Liyun Datong Chapter" says: The world is for the common good and it is for the great harmony.
