▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that these days, working with other people is less critical than it was before. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. First, cooperation is needed for global society like present world. Second, cooperation is more efficient.
First, working with other people is necessary for present world. To explain, as time has gone by, there have been a lot of innovative inventions or findings over the world. Therefore, an innovation becomes harder and harder. By oneself, it is extremely difficult to solve current issues. Otherwise, in a group, there are many different people from diverse backgrounds, which means that there are a lot of various perspectives that look at the same issue with different ways. And with these, people can find an innovative solution that could't have been found if an individual tried to find. According to research done by Korea University, majority of socially successful leaders solved their problems with their group memebers as a group.
Second, working with other people is more efficient than before. These days, it is easier to gather people who share the same interest with you. Although people should have group each other face to face in the past, people of today's society don't have to meet directly because there is the Internet that makes people meet easily in the cyber zones. Let me bring up my personal story as an example. When I was in college, I had a team project that should be done by team members. Though all the members were too busy to group up and discuss the issue, we could have done by the Internet. Finally, I could get a good grade.
In conclusion, cooperation is not only necessary for today's society, but also is more efficient than before. In this regard, I strongly believe that cooperationg with other people is more critical these days than it was before. |
