Competition is everywhere, you see it in the smallest form. Healthy competition I believe, comes when you compete against yourself, when all you're trying to do is prove yourself wrong, to push yourself farther and to make yourself do things you never thought you could. There's also the healthy competitions you have against other but it's for the same reason to see who can push themselves farthest, who can push towards that finish line with all their might and not stop till they're the first ones across it.  It seems like we compete with each other without even knowing it. Who has the newest phone? who has the most friends, who has the nicest clothes, we compete in everything we do and more times than not we do it subconsciously, when you compete to see who has the best not who is the best, that's a kind of unhealthy competition. Also, some people go to the extremes when they want something, they're willing to do it all, weather it's risking their health or that of someone else.  The line can be easily blurred with these two ideas. Competition is a important part of our society, as we compete with each other in many ways, countries are identified by all the good they have done, and by all the people who stand out from that country. Weather it's Coldplay from England. Lady Gaga from The United States, or Shakira from Colombia. They're all great artist and they all represent their country, weather they want it or not, of course there's other types of competition there's the international sports weather it's soccer, hockey, boxing, basketball, football, or baseball, it's all a competition, it all leads to one big game weather it's every four years or an annual game. Every sport comes down to one day, two teams and one championship to crown who is the best, but not only are they crowning the best as champions but also who had faught the hardest throughout that season, who gave their absolute best and nothing less.
