Competition is such an all-pervading aspect of most people’s lives so much so that it has defined our activities, our schedule, our career paths and even our mindsets. At a very early age children are told that the world out there is extremely competitive – they have to learn new skills every day to prove that they are better than their neighbor, colleague, peer or friend. While there are some aspects of competition are beneficial, over emphasis on competition affects the collective and finally trickles down to individuals. The other side of competition is Coopetition. While Competition assumes that the world out there is the result of a zero sum game, coopetition presupposes that the pie itself can be extended to accommodate new players. A zero sum game has losers and winners; people win at the cost of others. Therefore the emphasis is on winning – and competition is the essence of this. Coopetition on the other hand states that it is possible for everybody to win. Most aspects of this world are not a zero sum game. You can win with others and not at the expense of others. Debates – The Conventional Approach: You only have winners and losers with no focus on implementation. Beautiful and sensible points raised are barely captured. The target audiences in most cases are missing. Spectators of the debate pay attention to how the debate goes forward and how debaters speak, how much of humor and recreation they have derived out of the event and not by what is spoken and whether what is spoken is actually implementable and if so who would implement it. The entire process feeds the ego of a few The focus on the debater, their speaking abilities and verbal communication and not on the issue We bring you the eastern approach challenge in form of CREAtIVE DebAtE It is holistic and it addresses the issue and goes beyond the individual.
