Cooperation
Cooperative is the basis of life, of innovation, and the background of competition.
Context
In our our societies, the value of individual success is often over-rated. In fact, society is the ground for individual well-being and success. Without cooperation, there is no scientific development or human progress.
Individual success is a powerful motivation in our society. While it remains legitimate, it must not make us forget that we humans are deeply social beings, like most of the species on this planet. Empathy and communication are deeply embeded in our genes. They reveal themeselves in the relationships within our organizations, at the local level, and with people and communities far away.
Cooperation also has its skills and techniques, that allow to activate its potential, and can also be transmitted.
