According to Noel, what is competition?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. Competition is a struggle over a scarce commodity. In competitive contact situations, the victorious group becomes the dominant group and the losers become the minority. The competition may center on land, labor, jobs, housing, educational opportunities, or anything else both groups desire. Competition provides the eventual dominant group with the motivation to establish superiority. The dominant group serves its own interests by ending the competition and exploiting, controlling, eliminating, or otherwise dominating the minority group.
