There is an argument over whether competition among friends has a negative influence on friendship. Some might argue that cooperation has a positive effect to friendship. My view, however, is that competition does not give bad effect on friendship, on the contrary that gives friends good influence. This is largely because competition is good way to improve their ability. Moreover, when friends finish competition among them, they will be more intimate each other.

According to a study conducted by a team of researchers at Harvard University, More than two-thirds of the surveyed participants who attend high school improve their grades when they have competition among friends. Based on study, it seems clear that competition enhance people’s capacity
In addition, friendship can be stronger than when the friends does not compete each other. Commonly most of the people who has rival interest in his rival. When friends regard their friends as rival, they can interest their friends more frequently. For example, one of my friends who want to learn how to play basketball considered me as rival. First time he called me to play basketball. His ability of basketball was not as good as my ability. Two months later, however, when I played with him, I could not defeat him. I asked to him how your skills improved. He said that he just think me as rival. When i heard that, i felt something weird which is mixed with angry and funny. However, friend and I enjoyed basketball more than before, which made us closer each other. Therefore, competition is good way to improve friendship.
To summarize, competition does not give a negative effect. On the grounds that competition gives people improved capacity, Moreover, friends are became more intimate among them than before. All in all, negative effect is not given to friendship by competition. |
