These days, from the primary school to the company, there are so many chances to work with other people. Therefore, it is not surprising that the idea that being good at cooperation with others is more and more becoming crucial nowadays, compared to the pest. Some people disagree with this idea because there are also many opportunities to do jobs solely. However, I strongly believe that it is true for two reasons that both the number of people whom we are dealing with and the teamwork in the company has been sharply increased.
First of all, we have to work with more and more people than in the past recently because of the globalization and industrialization. To be specific, by computer and cell phone, we can communicate and work with other people anytime and anywhere though they are far away from us. Thus the time for spending on dealing with other people is much more increasing than the past. For example, according the research of Harvard University it is said that the average of people whom are faced with during working in a month was 30 in 1959, however 112 in 2016.
Secondly, the number of conducting as teamwork with other departments has been uprising nowadays in the office which requires well-prepared cooperation skills. To elaborate, it is the trend to have a team project with other workers from a variety of departments to achieve a better result. For instance, by the statistics of Microsoft, which is one of the most famous corporation in the U.S. the number of teamwork with other departments has been increased dramatically from 12 per year in 1980, to 72 in 2016, which can support the idea that good working skills with other colleagues are becoming more vital.
In conclusion, I believe that people should be better at co-working with others than in the past, for the reasons I mentioned above, although some opponents states that it is not crucial anymore.
