The ways it can be beneficial is in the academics because Gene would be against the Douglass kid for the academic student of the year or something like that. The ways it can be harmful is in the sports because you can get hurt very badly like what happened to Finny, but not exactly.

I think competition is a good thing because it pushes everyone to do better. People have a natural drive to want to win. I think it can be destructive in the way that it develops hatred between two people.

Competition can be good and it can be bad. It can be beneficial by making people strive to beat their peers. It can be harmful by making people hate each other.

Competition is a good thing. It pushes everyone to do better. Most people have a natural drive to beat people and to win. It could also be a bad thing for doing that. They could end up hurting someone they didn't want to hurt.

Competition is great because it just makes people try to beat each other and then they just make themselves better. it can be bad because of jealousy and that can cause people to do stuff they don't mean like knocking your friend out of a tree and breaking his arm.

Competition can be good and harmful. Its a good thing because it will make people want to be better than the person their in competition with, and it can be harmful because some people can become obsessed with it and someone can get hurt.

Competition can push you and make you work harder to achieve your goal or be better than someone else for a spot on a team, a position or top of the class. Competition can be harmful when it is taken too far. When competition destroys friendships and makes lasting impressions on one's character in a negative way, then it is harmful.

I think competition is a good thing because it pushed people to work harder at what they are doing. Competition can also be a bad thing. A person may be so obsessed with winning and it could ruin their friendship.

I think that competition is good because it gets people to work harder and pushes themselves to win. Competition can also be bad though because it can ruin someone's relationship with each other.

Competition is good in the way that it drives people to do the best they can and to try to get better. The only problem is that people do get jealous of others talents..

Competition can be a great motivator. For example, if someone did better than you on a quiz or in a sport, you would be motivated to improve yourself. But sometimes, people can get carried away with competition, and that could hurt them.
