It is often said that it is not necessesary to have the ability to cooperate with others. However in my opinion, it is becoming more and more important to have such ability to live better for several reasons : people tend to be more open-minded than before and the world is becoming globalized.
To begin with, people are now being open-minded more than in the past, expressing one's thoughts directly. People in the past did not like to or refused to express one's thoughts or feelings in front of others, thought that it was either rude or shame. Compared to the people in the past, people now do not feel any difficulty to express one's thought as the society changed. People these days think that all differences between people have to be appreciated and respected. As people nowadays give lots of different ideas, the need of the ability to cooperate with others is increasing. Harmonize and unite all the possibilities into one, also satisfying all people at the same time. A survey was done by Ministry of Education in Korea to two groups. Group A with age twenties, group B with age over sixty who have lived longer than people in Group A do. The survey was about to rate the importance of some abilities needed in daily life including the ability to cooperate with others. The result was that group A responded to the cooperation question more, saying that it is necessary to have that ability because of the diversity in society. This clearly shows that the present requires more of the ability to cooperate with others than in the past.
In addition, as the world is becoming globalized day by day, bringing all people around the world together, it is important to accept each others' differences and cultures, cooperating. Many people easily and often travel overseas for many reasons and they become exposed to new environment, customs and cultures. In order to get along well with others, it is important to adjust the thinkings, opinions and ideas together without conflicts. To be specific, one of my friends once went abroad to study. At the place where she was staying, there were lots of other foreigners who came to study as well. Because they were all from different parts of the world they often had conflicts due to the differences in their living styles. They later become used to the environment, adjusting themselves well to be considerate, learned to cooperate with others. The friend said to me that as more and more people go abroad to study and work compared to the past, it is important to have a skill to cooperate with others.
In conclusion, it is becoming more important to have the ability to cooperate with others, being considerate. It is because of the globalization taking place and people these days have open-minded feature.
