The best way for a society to prepare its young people for leadership in government, industry, or other fields is by instilling in them a sense of cooperation, not competition.

To gestate the younger populace of a nation for future effectiveness is not a trivial task. The prompt recommends that the best way of doing so is by imbuing a sense of cooperation rather than competition in youths. I mostly agree with this suggestion for the following 3 reasons.
First of all, for all the plaudits given to high-level competitors, an intense degree of competition is, for the most part, undesirable. The is a fine line between healthy competition, which leads to development and unhealthy competition, which harms virtually all its participants. This tenuous line is usually imperceptible to the average youth. Take for instance, the numerous cases of undegraduate elections in African Universities rife with deceit and slander. Good-willing students who run for positions often unknowingly have to engage in disreputable acts in order to remain competitive enough for success in student-led elections. The eventual elected candidate will have not only harmed his reputation, but will also spend a chunk of his elected time defending his already tainted reputation. Further, in the academia - which is highly result oriented - youths who find it difficult to compete alone will more likely resort to falsification of results to cope. This problem can develop into even far more harmful scenarios as the youths mature.To prepare young people to lead a healthy society, it needs to ensure competition does not reach this stage.
Secondly, the benefits of togetherness far outweighs singular progress. As the popular saying goes "Two heads are better than one." Cooperation leads to each participant playing a role in creating a long lasting and sustainable society.
However, the abscence of competition is also never truly desired. Mediocre work become celebrated, and errors, unquestioned. This kind of degradation of work ethic would stem from the need to cooperate, easing each others burdens, rather than compete, which leads to better results. For example, in an academic institution where cooperation is the sole focus, students are usually not invigorated to do better. When these students have to face tasking circumstances alone, they are deemed unequipped for the task. Also, when these students intermingle with pairs from a differing background, the have difficulties in coping as seen in the many academic competitions held globally. Hence, competition need not be eliminated completely for the sake of a productive generation.
In conclusion, the prompt is a highly complex issue with no easy way out. Both sides have merit, however, I mostly agree with instilling togetherness among the younger generation, as I believe, leads to a better and more productive society long term,
