RE: If World Nations Adopted a Cooperative Mindset Rather Than a Competitive One

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Lol @ the trump's son conclusion.

About competition, it seems it's written in our genes to out-compete each other,, but with a more enlightened state of mind, we will realize that cooperation gets us farther and I believe a lot of people have come to this realization.
I think pending global threats and common goals easily bind the average individual and nations together, beside that, everyone is competitive by default except they're great thinkers.

Sort:  

haha yeah. Every time I looked up a picture of skittles Trumps son came up so I looked into the connection and found that he compared poisoned skittles to Syrian refugees. I couldn't help but add that line lol.

Yeah there is a strong argument that competition is in our genes. However, at a certain point we have to ask ourselves if following a reactionary behavior is actually in our best interest. Competitive mindsets could ultimately lead to our destruction. if nations do not work together and instead compete for resources, then that behavior ultimately promotes violence and exploitation. I personally do not think that those are long term strategies.

Lol. Trump is far removed from everyday realities of the average human and so are his families. I used to like him as a biz man and entertainer ( WWE, comedy central roast, fresh prince and apprentice) but as a president, it's been something else.

About the cooperative mindset, I also believe our long term survival depends on our ability to work together, however, I believe we are still a long way to this especially if we are to take the intellectual route but then, pending global danger/common threat can easily force nations to cooperate.

yeah he should have stuck to TV reality shows.
Yeah we may be a long way away but you are right about a common threat uniting us.

Lol. He will get back to that in 2021 except Americans decide to reward him with a 2nd term.
