David P. D. Munns: Does Cooperation Benefits Society
Cooperation benefits society because it allows people and certain groups to work together to achieve a specific goal. Cooperation is a win-win situation whereas one person may not end up benefitting in competition. As frequently seen in history and even today, historians are finding that cooperation allows certain societies to accomplish their goal in a successful community. From cooperation in ancient history to today's society, many people are seeing how everyone can benefit from working together. Many civilizations in ancient history cooperated with one another to benefit themselves.

David P. D. Munns asks himself the same question when it comes to the history of radio astronomy. Although he can see it both ways, in the end Munns has determined that cooperation benefits radio astronomers more when it comes to science. He believes that if they study in a more open way and share their thoughts and ideas with one another their community will succeed. Munns also brings up that competition between schools and even nations can take the cooperative aspect out of the whole deal and therefore not be beneficial early as much. While competition may be the only process to challenge someone else's previously accepted theory and possibly change or improve it, Munns thinks that cooperation can unite nations and societies and help them succeed. In other words, Munns believes that if radio astronomers saw a single sky they would work together much better and in the end improve society in many ways. Although this study that Munns has brought on only focuses on radio astronomy, it addresses the much bigger question. Whether cooperation or competition in more beneficial is society. Based on the results of this study, the answer is clear. Since cooperation causes schools and nations to work together, the long lasting effect is more profitable on both sides. Competition usually only benefits one side while cooperation helps both
