Collaboration vs Competition

[unspeakablehorror]

I wonder if the reason why group projects are so often painful is that society is set up more for competition than collaboration, and we're never taught how to deal with disagreement or confrontation, how to compromise effectively and fairly, or how to consider other people's feelings. Some people are taught these things by their parents or others outside school, but some of us aren't so lucky (I was never taught any of that lol). We're often also not allowed to pick the people we collaborate with.
