Argumentative essay


 
             Nowadays, in the world, there are competitions everywhere. All people, even young children participate in the competition. Some people say that competitions can be harmful for children. However, competition is beneficial for children for several reasons. They are : children can learn a lot from other participants, can adapt to society in the future well, and give them confidence when they win.

                The first reason why competition is beneficial for children is because they can learn many things from other participants. In the competition, there are many people who are better than us. So, if we participate in the competition, we can learn a lot from the people who are better than us. We can also learn what we did wrong or what can we do to improve ourselves by losing. According to nytimes, under certain conditions, competitions improve performance. Also, according to news.heartland.org, when there was competition, students had better performance.

                 The second reason why competition is beneficial is because it makes children adapt well in the society in their future. There are a lot more competitions in adults' society, do children who experienced more competitions will have better results than people who didn't i their future. They will also be exposed to losing, which will help them not to be discouraged when they lose in their future. According to www.shaurosenberg.com, it says that the competition prepares us for the real world.

                Lastly, competition gives confidence to children when they win. When children win in the competition, they think that 'I did well' ad get confidence. According to christinachildho   odperformance.com, 'competing is especially helpful because when you compete,  you are under pressure. If you perform well, it gives you confidence.

               Opponents of this idea claim that competition make young children discouraged when they lose. However, that's not true because as I said i the paragraph above competition creates confidence in children, it does not discourage them. Also, although they may get discouraged because they lost, the ca overcome it by winning and gaining confidence again.

               Those who disagree also say that they would be stressful when there is too much competition. However, we don't have to do too much competition. Also, according to http://sports.co,. there are many ways to beat competitive stress.

              Competition helps children for several reasons. They are : children can learn from other competitors, can adjust to society in their future well, ad also gives them confidence when they win. Also, I talked about the two arguments from the opponents and said why it is wrong. They are: competition makes children lose their confidence when they lose, and that they would be stressful when they do too much competition. Thank you.
