Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. In this essay I will outline the views and I will give opinion.

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged and that’s because when they grow up they can depend on themselves. There are a lot of positive things in encouraging children for competition. One of those things is that children will have self confidence to do a lot of things and decisions in their lives.

Other people think that cooperation rather them competition between children will teach them how to be useful when they grow up by building them to be team workers for the future.

In conclusion, I think that encouraging children is the best way to make them the best men and women in the future.

Population growth

Population graph

The line graph above shows the population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150; in this assessment I will describe the graph of population growth.

As the graph shows in the year 1750 the population in the less developed countries was around 500 million whereas in the more developed countries it was around 100 million. In 1950 the population in the less developed countries increased to 2 billion and 500 million for more developed countries.

The population in the less developed countries jumped to 6.1 billion but it remained almost the same in the more developed countries. The expected numbers of population in the year 2150 will be almost 8 billion for less developed countries.

In conclusion, less developed countries have more population than more developed countries and it will remain until the year 2150 as shown in the graph above.
