Author and lecturer Alfie Kohn contends that "competition by its very nature is always unhealthy." In his essay "Why Competition?", Kohn argues that when my success depends on other people's failure, the prospects for a real human community are diminished, and that someone who must always be better than others is caught on a treadmill, perpetually insecure and anxious. Write an outline, then develop a position on Kohn's claim about the nature of competition. Use appropriate evidence from your reading, experience, or observations to support your argument.
