concepts like "survival of the fittest" are popular in competitive places like the u.s.
I think it is a cultural thing. some cultures are more competitive, and american culture is the most competitive. just look at the obsession with sports and winning and eveyrhting is a contest. i don't think being competitive is good. sure we "win" much but we also make people suffer for it.

It is a big competition. They just understand who to compete with.

I live in orange county (in southern California), and this place is so crowded that everyone fights for everything: jobs, colleges, girls, housing, etc. It is a big competition, and I can't wait to move out.
