Please Vote For Me...

The video below is about a class in China, voting for their class monitor. We all know that China is a communist country and democracy is entirely new to them. But in the video below, we can see how the children responded to the election. It is interesting how such scenes are actually so common in our daily life. Enjoy! >.<

I think that competition can actually lead to much unhappiness for others as well as yourself. Just like the video, the fat boy was going around telling his friends to vote for him and even to the extent of using bribery and making them insult the other candidates. In our modern world, elections might seem like a fair competition, but one cannot assume that there are completely no injustice somewhere in between.

Competition was originally of a good nature, to motivate and to make people strive for their best. But sometimes, when competitiveness becomes too extreme, it becomes bad. Instead of allowing everyone a fair chance to do their best, many are hurt for the sake of one to reach the goal.

This is a short review on the video. Please comment!
P.S this is where I got the idea from: http://www.kk.org/truefilms/archives/competition_stories/
