Cooperation

In the dictionary, cooperation is defined as an act or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or benefit. When we cooperate, we are working together towards a goal that will benefit all of us. This is also what cooperation means to me. Cooperation is working with people that perhaps you do not socialize with, yet you are all in agreement that what you are doing will be beneficial to all of us. This in turn teaches us to be tolerant of others. Cooperation also happens to be one of the six pillars of character. To me cooperation is when everyone works together to achieve something. We are all encouraged to use cooperation to accomplish our class work in school. Cooperation is important because it is essential to our learning environment. If cooperation did not exist, many things could not be done. Everyone would be working alone without help and it could be possible that many of those things will not get completed. It takes ones person to start something, and without cooperation this would not be possible.
