Cooperation. I'm usually not much of a competetor.

Well,it depends on the situation. But most of the time cooperation.

Competition as long as it's healthy.

Both are in some form necessary, the best being probably "cooperative competition": 1) "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. Cooperation in many areas, such as farming and housing, may be in the form of a cooperative or, alternately, in the form of a conventional business. Many people resort to this because, they may cooperate by trading with each other or by altruistic sharing. Certain forms of cooperation are illegal in some jurisdictions because they alter the nature of access by others to economic or other resources. Thus, cooperation in the form of cartels or price-fixing may be illegal."

The rationale being that the challenge is a zero-sum game; the success of one group is dependent on the failure of the other competing groups. Destructive competition tends to promote fear, a first-strike mentality and embraces certain forms of trespass.[3] - Cooperative competition Further information: coopetition Cooperative competition is based upon promoting mutual survival - “everyone wins”. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” is a process where individuals compete to improve their level of happiness but compete in a cooperative manner through peaceful exchange and without violating other people. Cooperative competition focuses individuals/groups/organisms against the environment."

"In the late 90s a term arose -- "coopetition" -- as companies, particularly in the high-tech sector, realized that it might be more fruitful in the end to cooperate on some things (standards, especially) while they competed on others. The growth of the internet was a key player in this move. With today's networked economy, we are now well positioned to consider a greater level of cooperation. " "In my view, cooperation is a hell of a lot more complicated than competition. With only three issues discussed today -- secrecy, boundaries and reputation -- we run up against some significant challenges. However, the benefits to this type of approach are increasingly apparent, and, in many ways, our "audiences" are already moving rapidly to cooperate, leaving the organization out of the mix.

The answer, without equivocation, is cooperation." http://www.charleswarner.us/articles/competit.htm - "In the debate over what type of society is best, conservatives generally favor more competitive societies, whereas liberals favor more cooperative ones. Let's attempt to see which side is correct, by reviewing the fundamentals of competition and cooperation" http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-spectrumfive.htm - "A competition which makes sure that humans are still going forward or cooperation which assures that we are still human beings and can solve common problems together. A dilemma that has always existed, a natural choice that human beings has been confronted. Fortunately it was the greatest skill of humans to combine these two paradoxically contradictory processes to produce the world we are living now and to keep improving it." "Therefore, whenever we are trying to compare competition and cooperation or even confront them we have to bear in our mind that they are interdependent and interconnected processes." http://www.megaessays.com/viewpaper/23284.html - "Relationships -- Cooperation vs. Competition" http://www.thelaboroflove.com/forum/archives/relationship5401.html - "Business networking - Cooperation versus competition " http://www.flyingsolo.com.au/p263408642_Cooperation-versus-competition.html

Depends on the situation. Cooperation if I'm working on a team, competition from my opponent.

Competition. It develops individual strength.

It depends. I want cooperation from my husband, as we are supposed to be a team. But I want corporations to be competitive to drive down prices for consumers.

Submission!

Corporation.
