Answer 1

Specific Benefits of Cooperation

Cooperative concepts are beneficial in school, work, play, in personal relationships and are easily understood in the context of games. Here are some of the benefits:

Bonding, Support, and Playfulness

• It is hard to maintain positive feelings about someone who is trying to make you lose. Hurt feelings and arguments often result from competitive play. In cooperative play, challenge, discovery and success are shared. Emphasis is on participation, acceptance and the “joy of play.” In the end, it’s your relationship with each other that counts. Children gain stronger bonds with parents, siblings and playmates.

Teamwork and Shared Decision Making

• Competition makes it difficult to share our skills, experiences and resources because each person is separately involved in his or her exclusive goal. In our schools and work places, students and employees are often taught to regard each other not as potential collaborators, but rather as opponents, rivals, and obstacles to their own success. In cooperative settings, every person’s role is important and valued. Individuality is respected, and concern for the needs of others fostered. The challenge shifts from “striving to be number one” to working toward a mutual goal. The idea that we all share in decision-making is a powerful tool.

Openness, Trust and Safety

• Often competition—in work and play—results in arguments, hurt feelings and separation. Many games are based on secrecy and intimidation resulting in players feeling unsafe. In work or play, people really want and need to feel safe, be open and honest, and above all, feel trusted. Cooperative situations help create that atmosphere, because participants give encouragement and support of one another.
