In business and sports, competition is better, or else you end up with monopolies or really boring games to watch.
In about everything else, cooperation is better.

Football is the key factor here, watch a football game and you will see in real life the answers to these questions. A team takes cooperation from 2 or 2000 individuals, the key is individuals. You take all those individuals and make them into a collective which formulates a team. Boxing, watch a boxing match. Two people one on one is competition. One individual with the skills they have learned by natural abilities but formulated by a team,(trainer, coach, etc.). No one is an island, with all the skills or the answers. Hence forth you need both and they go hand in hand no matter what. It takes cooperation for everything and the word "capatability", is the one thing people do not comprehend. Opposites attract or in fact with people if they are not compatable then they repel. Many times the compatability is the issue. If the two competing have outside the arena complex issues this causes friction and ruins the competition. The focus is no longer on the learning factor or the strengthening of the individuals it is on destruction and that ruins the balance and process of competition and cooperation. You get farther with concentration and focus on your purpose. You are stronger in life when you learn these things and walk away from those who you are incompatible. You will weaken if you engage into a personal situation for it is trivial and it just puts fuel to a fire that will extinguish you and the other party eventually, for it is non-productive. These two words have no War in them at all. People make war, because they are incompatible. Competition and cooperation are very gentle words when used properly. There is no countries in those words no armed conflicts for destruction, they are only meant to balance you as a person. Everyone takes it out of context and exagerates the meaning sometimes, but if this looked at carefully you will be strong, and learn and be ahead of all those that are stuck in the negative bonds of society.

we want all 4 to advance society. as an occasion, I very own my very own business enterprise. the products / amenities that we grant are required and needed by potential of the clientele. i want the help of others, so I hire workers to strengthen and amplify my business enterprise. this would advance our productiveness, subsequently requiring extra workers, greater wages, new kit, new places. i'm the owner, who assumes the financial disadvantages of doing business enterprise. So I earn as a proportion of the revenues, a small income. The extra revenues, the extra my income. increasing the known of existence for myself and my kinfolk. As a Christian, i think in helping human beings much less fortunate than myself. only placed, the extra I even have potential extra that i will supply. something from the midsection, no longer by potential of rigidity, I have not any interest in or for something it is incorrect.

We need both. You can get a lot done with other people if you are all cooperating with each other. But to have innovation and new ideas you need competition, someone always thinking they have a better way of doing something. Competition helps you decide whose plan to use. Once you have a plan, cooperation helps you carry it out.

C'mon you know 'cooperation' is just the mistaken expression of domination. That we appear to 'get along' is just one of many tactics individuals use to go beyond and get what they desire. We compete at cooperation -- whoever unites the understanding of the group, gets the reward.
And without that drive, cooperation would be meaningless, common denominator, sheeply dissonance.

Neither. Wouldnt competitive cooperation come about; with complete honesty, capitalism would no longer exist in a cooperative society
The focus should be on benevolent obedience to God, but how to do this in capitalism

the truth is always in moderation
If coop is the only way, there wlll be less new products and inventions, much less creativity.
If too competitive, dog eats dog society - it will be crurel to the weak and handicapped.
