Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date? Why it is so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those things?

One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent. It is a parent’s job to teach their children the fundamental skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. So why is teamwork disappearing in this aspect of our lives? Well in today’s society, we find that more and more parents are experiencing that the teamwork is one-sided thing. According to a 2009 report from the US, there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this amount could be due to the fact that parents are not stepping up and taking responsibility for their children or they don’t have the means to, so they leave one parent to do it by themselves. This is a saddening fact, but it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.

Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn’t matter if yoare a small or large company; if yohave at least one employee and yourself, then teamwork will be present. I have noticed that with the current economic recession(衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people work has gone down greatly. It just appears to me that people do not take part in their work anymore. They want to get to work and work as fast as they can, just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standards flew right out the window. This type of behavior is where I think teamwork is losing its ground in the workforce. There are too many people who want to work independently and forget they are a part of a team.

As yocan see, we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do yobelieve teamwork is really losing ground in today’s society? I think it is. What’s your opinion?
