The most significant and prevalent kind of social conflict is competition. “Competition is that type of social activity in which we fight against each other for the ownership of or use of certain restricted material and non-material things,” write Anderson and Parker. “Competition is that form of social action.” The authors Sutherland, Woodward, and Maxwell state that “competition is an impersonal, unconscious, and ongoing fight” and that due to the limited quantity, not everyone can have it. Competition for positions in the public sector Interaction might also take the form of scrutiny. The battle for position is what’s needed to elevate one’s economic standing. It takes place anytime there is an inadequate supply of something that human beings want; inadequate in the sense that all individuals are unable to have as much of it as they would like to have. Sometimes there is rivalry because there is a limited supply, making it harder to distribute the available goods equally. 53 The three dynamics of collaboration, rivalry, and conflict 4.4.1 Traits of the Competitive Environment The following are some of the characteristics of competition: The concept of competition refers to an impersonal fight. “engagement without social touch” is what park and burgess meant when they defined competitiveness. We may argue that it is a conflict between different individuals, which is impersonal. In most cases, it is not intended to be aimed toward any one person or group. The concept of competitiveness exists everywhere. There is no such thing as a society that does not have any a civil services. competition. In addition to this, the level of competitiveness might differ from one civilization to the next. It is something that is quite prevalent in both society and culture. It is generally agreed that healthy levels of competition are beneficial to advancement. The people have greater opportunity to fulfill their cravings for new experiences and competitiveness when they compete against one another. The majority of the activities that comprise l competition are performed unconsciously, while personal rivalry and competition are performed consciously. It’s possible that intense competition may mess with your head. The need to compete is hardwired into our brains. The concept of competitiveness is a social construct. The level of competition is directly related to the social norms and structures that exist in a society. 4.4.2 The importance of competition can never be overstated in social life. In today’s culture, competition serves a multitude of important purposes. Sometimes there is a lot of movement and energy in the competition. It serves five important purposes in our lives. l It is of assistance in determining the standing and position of individual members within a hierarchical structure. l it has a tendency to encourage thriftiness, resourcefulness, and ingenuity; it has a tendency to boost one’s ego. It instills a sense of respect for the norms that govern the same group. One way to look at it is to suggest that competition decides who will carry out what role. “Competition provides the wide duty of allocating to each man in his social universe,” as stated by Ross. “Competition is a constructive force that may satisfy, but it does not always destroy.”” Further, we are able to assert that free and open competition is beneficial to the development of both society and the economy. The people have greater opportunity to fulfill their demands for new experiences and recognition thanks to the presence of competition. it places value on having reached a certain status. There are occasions when competition serves a purpose that is detrimental. It’s possible that it will lead to frustration. It is possible that monopoly will result. It’s possible that it’ll spark a fight. It is possible for it to cause emotional difficulties. It is possible for individuals or groups to become hostile and negative toward one another as a result of this situation. It is an undeniable fact that the greatest destabilizing impacts come from unfair competition. There are situations when unrestricted competition results in monopoly. There are various ways in which collaboration and competition are not the same. There is no such thing as a society that is completely cooperative or solely competitive. In point of fact, the social system is a balance between the forces of competition and cooperation. However, a little healthy and fair competition is good for everyone.
