Work In Group or Finish It Alone

In the modern society, people have to face the dilemma of choosing work with a group of people or to work independently. This problem is much-debated one that affects everybody’s life. Depend on different circumstance; people will have different answers to the question. But in most time, I would like to work in a group; I think it is necessary and more benefit.

  Group work is necessary in the society. Every field of the society requires team work, communication and cooperation among companions and individuals. Take an example of the produce of computers. It comprises of hardware, operating system and software, which are manufactured separately by different companies. Not one single company can accomplish a computer system without using products and technologies from other companies. Similarly, in a company, communication and teamwork is more and more important because I can not do my work properly without interacting with my supervisor and my colleagues.

  Moreover, Like in China, we often teach our children a quotation, “it is easy to snap a chopstick or a branch; while a bunch of chopsticks or the branches is so hard to break off only by hand.” working with a group is surly has more advantages than work independently. A team can achieve much more extensive than in sole, which is similar in nature. Wolf is one of highest efficient predators in the grassland. When they find the livestock, they will gather together, encircle the animals, and then enjoy their meals; meanwhile there are some wolves only hunt by themselves, which has a high rate to death as they are slower than cheetah, thinner than lions and what’s the most important reason--without help from others.

  By the way, work in a group is helpful to all of the group, just take myself as example, when I landed in Chicago O’Hare Airport and be forced to open my package, I was scared and worried, but the persons who stayed with me did all he can to comfort me, using his words, with his action like helping me repackage the luggage, which make me calm down. I don’t know what will happen if I am alone. Accompany and work with others is really helpful to all the group members.

  Even though work independently is better for some situation such as the commander in a war, what he need is to make all the soldiers obey without questions. Working with others is a better choice for most of people. In some degree, we have the ability to communicate with others and operate with others to build a group, we should make it used.
