HUMAN BEINGS - ARE WE SOCIAL or COMPETITIVE?

I see its most be because every might be going easy for U. as for why we can't live peacefully its because there is no excitement if every one working with each other. and as for the last part its because of pride with competition.

Hello again yogeshdhusa, It is unfortunately so that competition has become a part of our nature. Indeed it has become an obligation in the "greed is good" world in which we currently live. However, this instinct is not completely natural to human beings and I witnessed it many times, where people are doing evil to others or trying to destroy them and at the same time they are crying. Why is that? Competition is not the only successful economic model. Some very successful companies were founded as a collective, e.g. Quaker Oats, or the charitable trust which founded the Welcome Pharma company (now half of Glaxo) All the best UMart

Dear Doomstay982, How are you? Hope you are not feeling too apocalyptic today! You took an interesting approach to answering the question. Simply quantifying it. Very cool! :-) I like it. Maybe it's right or maybe it's wrong, but it's a good starting point. Also you said that it depends on the social (or I suppose economic) conditions as to whether the people are social or competitive. That is an excellent point, as when things turn bad in a big city, the people will often steal, kill or commit cannibalism to survive. I saw a documenatry film about the people of northern Siberia in Russia. The land is a bit like Canada and can at times be very difficult to live, especialy due to the extremely hard winter. However, the people looked very relaxed and very happy, because they had huge stretches of land all around them and they didn't feel threatened by other people. It was a real surprise to me. All the best to you. Have a good week. UMart
