Cooperation Vs. Competition
1. Cooperation:
Is the way you help other people to get their goals and they help you at
the same time. I think so.
Competition:
Is the way you want to get your goals yourself and you try to be the
first, but you´re thinking about a single goal.
2. I think
the better word in life is cooperation, because when you help others, also you
are helping yourself and it is better to progress with collaboration.
3. As a
future teacher I think we should focus on both, because when you have clearly
your goals and what you want to get, so you just focus on help other people to
get their goals and it also makes you a better person.

5. Some quotes
·
Cooperation
or co-operation is the practice of individuals or larger societal entities
working in common with mutually agreed-upon goals and possibly methods, instead
of working separately in competition, and in which the success of one is
dependent and contingent upon the success of another.
·
While cooperation is the antithesis of competition,
the need or desire to compete with others is a common impetus that motivates
individuals to organize into a group and cooperate with each other in order to
form a stronger competitive force.
·
A cooperative approach
aligns with the process of interest-based or integrative bargaining, which leads parties to seek win-win solutions.
·
Disputants that work
cooperatively to negotiate a solution are more likely to develop a relationship
of trust and come up with mutually beneficial options for settlement. The
mutual gains approach is considered a constructive resolution process.
·
Competitive approaches
align with the process of distributive bargaining, which result in win-lose outcomes.
·
A competitive approach to
conflict tends to increase animosity and distrust between parties and is
generally considered destructive.

paragraph?
Paragraphs have three principal parts. These
three parts are the topic sentence, body sentences, and the concluding
sentence.
3. Identify some characteristics of the
topic sentence.
Not only is a
topic sentence the first sentence of a paragraph.
It is the most
general sentence in a paragraph.
There are not many
details in the sentence, but that the sentence introduces an overall idea that
you want to discuss later in the paragraph.
4. Identify some characteristics of the
supporting sentences.
They are called "supporting" because they "support,"
or explain, the idea expressed in the topic sentence.
At minimum, you should have at least five to seven sentences
in your paragraph.
5. Identify some characteristics of the
concluding sentence.
Is a sentence at
the end of the paragraph which summarizes the information that has been

Your hometown
My hometown is known as "the cultural place" for many years.
·
A place you would like to travel to.
·
(Another topic of your own choosing)

Volant, was awarded the Croix de
Guerre for
exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.

sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old.The
family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when
Rowling was four. She

headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration
for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus
Dumbledore.

Best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy
series. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won
multiple awards, sold more than 400 million copies to become the best-selling

popular series of
films, in which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts as
well as maintaining creative control by serving as a producer on the final

fairy tales referred to in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

State your personal opinion about the person you
chose.
I think she is a really interested person because I love
Harry Potter books and off course film. I think she has changed a lot the
people´s mind with her books and above all children´s minds because the most of
children like Harry Potter or all about the magic. So it is an interesting way
to catch the attention of kids and teenagers and maybe from this way they will
be more interested about read.
