Competition

A lot of the ideas established in this chapter are fairly accurate. They can be tested in our daily lives and they are very notable. Over the years, in order to succeed whether it be professionally or personally, competition will always be involved. In sports, at work, even in the classroom we can find competition happening. People compete to defend their ideas, their morals, to achieve a certain goal, and at times this competition may be very mild and at other times it may be very strong. Dawkins has explained throughout the last chapters that it is in our nature, in the nature of our genes, to compete, to be the survival machines we are and survive. 

 In fact, I can actually relate the idea of rivalry between the generations or within the generation itself. I have a younger brother who most of the time is preferred by my mom because he is little. There are times in which we compete with each other to gain something from our parents before the other does. 

Also I have seen, from living with my brother, that newer generations are more 'advanced' compared to when my generation was their age. Now a days, there are lesser restrictions on TV, and younger people are experiencing things that they were supposed to experience later on. I bet this is also true when you compare my generation to that of my parents or grandparents.
