A Competitive Society and Altruism

A competitive society, some people say, makes the people so selfish that they can survive it. However, Ito, Kubota, and Otake (2014) claims, anti-competitive school practice is rather likely to make the students 'selfish' and 'uncooperative'; Competitive society rather makes people more altruistic and cooperative.

競争社会は、人を生き残りをかけるために利己的にさせる。しかし、伊藤・窪田・大竹（2014）によれば、非競争的な教育こそ生徒を利己的に非協力的にさせるという。競争社会こそむしろ人を利他的に協力的にさせるのだ。
