I have a question about the writing sample. This weekend I got a practice prompt that was:
"In business, competition is superior to cooperation." Usual prompt: explain statement, when is cooperation superior to competition, and when is one better than the other?
So here is what I don't understand. The word they use is "superior." I can look at this two ways:
1) For the CONSUMER, competition is superior (i.e. better) b/c it keeps prices down, maximizes choice, etc.
2) For the BUSINESS, competition is superior b/c it keeps them innovative, etc.
So my question is:
when explaining the statement, should I say that there are two ways are looking at it, from the business perspective and the consumer perspective? Then it seems like I would need two counterexamples?
Or should I just choose one and stick with it? Help! I don't like the writing sample
