LAS 158 - Winners and Losers: The Complexity of Competition 3 hours
According to Martin Luther King Jr., we all have a common instinct to want “recognition…importance…attention, that same desire to be first.” Throughout human history, people have competed as a mode of survival, for territory, resources, and mates. Today, we still compete for a variety of reasons in nearly all areas of our lives–we do so for recreation, employment, friendship, recognition, and prestige. Competition can be found in business, athletics, education, politics, and the arts. This seminar will explore how competition can shape our identity, our self-worth, and our relationship to others and the world. Through a wide range of readings and multimedia content, students will explore how competition, competitiveness, and the desire to lead can shape one’s life.
