RIVALRY

According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, rivalry is a "competition or fighting between people, businesses, or organizations who are in the same area or want the same things." Rivalry usually shows up between siblings which live in the same house. Living and sharing their life together isn`t always easy. When new brother or sister comes home, they have to share many things but mostly parents` attentions. When my second- son was born, my first-born son who still needed me,was just fourteen-month old, but I had to spend more time with my new baby instead of him. At that time the whole life competition had began. He had changed his behavior to attract my attention. He was crying and acting like baby when I held my baby son. Furthermore, he was trying to hurt him when he was alone with the baby because of his jealousy. In his early childhood his rivalry was just with his baby brother. By this time his rivalry has changed its direction from his siblings to his friends. Some researchers say, that," a little competition which is a part of human nature isn`t a bad thing. Sometimes it can keep you working hard."
