Mutual Cooperation As One Of The Crucial Qualities Of Humanity

300, 000 years ago, there were at least 24 species on Earth, except for Homo sapiens. Today is an exceptional age when only one species of humanity is alive on Earth. The reason for the extinction of other species is not yet revealed. Neanderthal man, relatives of Homo sapiens, were extinct despite their larger physique and much stronger physique. Most experts say that modern humans are more social and cooperative than other species. Therefore, Cooperation is one of the most valuable human qualities, because it makes results in better results, breeds morality and keeps social animals out of danger.

First of all, mutual cooperation has not only a positive impact on an individual or a country but also helps to make a better society. The way to educate undergraduates at Harvard University is well known for cooperation. Most professors give the students a problem that is too difficult to solve by themselves and encourage the students to collaborate to solve the problem. Each student solves as much as they can. Then the next thing someone did not know gets a solution from other students. As a result, the students achieved the best results by taking advantage of each individual. Likewise, a unified team from South and North Korea participated in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, contributing greatly to peace, the spirit of the Olympic Games. Former German Chancellor Schroeder, who was invited to the opening ceremony, said, "I think participation, not victory, is the spirit of the Olympic Games. I think it is meaningful to see a single team match in Pyeongchang. "

In addition to, there is an African proverb, ‘If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. ’ This implies co-existence or cooperation, which means that most people can succeed only with the help of others. In order to live in a harsh world, members of society have to help each other. In consequence, cooperation can help a member of communities to solve work faster and more effectively, especially in human society. Unlike other creatures, humans learn moral virtues such as tolerance and consideration by uniting. Korean ancestors have long learned to tolerate and care for others through 'Dure'. There is a desirable culture of partnership called "Dure" which is purely Korean. Dure is a traditional farming organization that helps each other and works together in times of need. Through the assistance, members of Dure were able to promote friendship among the villagers and increase the yield of crops. In the meantime, four hundred thousand years ago, cooperation and cooperation were essential to human survival, especially in hunting. In his book, "A Natural History of Human Morality", Michael Tomasello states, "Of all primates, only humans have succeeded in evolving into moral apes and have settled in human societies through cooperation. " Whereas it is NIMBY that one of the things that can happen when the public spirit is weakened due to lack of assistance. Not in My Backyard Phenomenon (NIMBY), also called Nimby, a colloquialism signifying one’s opposition to the locating of something considered undesirable in one’s neighborhood. The slight cooperation leads to tolerance and inconsiderate conflict. For this reason, the ability to learn something moral through mutual cooperation is a blessing only humans have.

A human being, a social animal, can escape the crisis through cooperation when faced with an emergency. To illustrate, eleven years ago, the worst marine pollution accident happened in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do. In order to restore Taean, which was the sea of death, residents of Taean and nearly 1. 23 million volunteers nationwide gathered together. Thanks to the aid of the whole nation, the beautiful Taean has been restored. In addition, the fish catch recovered and more tourists visited Taean. Similar to this case, when the foreign exchange crisis hit in 1997, Korea citizens started a campaign to collect gold to pay off debts. About 3. 5 million people from across the country gathered about 227 tons of gold. According to statistics, the price of gold exported was $2. 2 billion and greatly contributed to the payment of South Korean debts. Not only this, yet, People who live individually without cooperation are more likely to become depressed or commit suicide than people who do not. According to the survey, single-person household often suffers from mental problems due to the lack of emotional support and communication. Thus, a single household is four times more think about suicide than the living together person.

The habit of believing and leaning on each other is the human instinct that has been around for 300, 000 years. Human proves that human can only exist through the only form of life that is 'TOGETHER'. Everyone already knows it is fact that the results are better when we work together. Cooperation not only let human being learn morality but also keep human being safe. This means that if any person is in trouble, other people can help the person to escape from the darkness. In conclusion, it is a blessing given only to humans on Earth and its own way of survival.
