NOTE
FACTORS THAT PROMOTE COOPERATION
- The first important factor is that there must be rules and regulations in the home, school, church, workplace, community and the state so that conflicts and misunderstanding in the society will be reduced
- There should be social justice in the society. Everybody must be treated fairly by judges. Magistrates and those in authority, in order to achieve this, there should be equal pay for equal volume of work done.
- Bribery and corruption must be wiped out in the organization and society. In a place where these twin evils exist, things are never done well. People will sacrifice the goals of the society of personal or selfish wishes.
- Tolerance must exist in the society or organization. The principle of live and let live must be allowed or permitted in the society. We should allow our fellow human beings to state their own views freely in any matter under discussion.
- A society where tribalism, nepotism, and sectionalism exist cooperation cannot take place there. The people must be treated equally and merit should be the yardstick.
- Unity is another factor that must exist before co-operation can take place. The people must work as a team and live in harmony. A situation where people see one another as enemies, cooperation cannot take place.
- People must respect the rights of others. They should understand that where a person’s right ends another person’s right starts. If it is not respected co-operation cannot exist among such people.
- Needs: When the needs of the people are met, there will be co-operation. A favorable cost of living must be provided for.
- Goals: There must be some set goals which must be aimed at. When there are set goals, efforts will be made for it realization.
BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
Some of the benefits include:
- Encouraging people to live together in harmony.
- Co-operation may lead to the development of the society. The number and quality of social amenities such as roads, bridges, schools, hospitals etc. will increase. More industries will be built and more jobs will be created.
- Peace reigns in the society where there is co-operation. Divisiveness and rancor will not be seen. People are tolerant of one another.
- There will also be joy and happiness. When a task is accomplished, the people are happy. When a given task or goal is achieved, there will be joy in the camp of the participants.
- Co-operation leads to team work. People often say, united we stand, divided we fall. It leads to togetherness and unity of purpose.
- Co-operation will lead to the achievement of set goals. This is because all members of the society or group will work for the attainment of such goals
