Teamwork

I have been playing a video games recently: Battlefield: Bad Company 2. To start off, this game is super awesome. Lots of tanks shooting missles and helicopters flying around to take objectives; however there is one aspect of this game that differs it from many other video games and things. It is that is requires teamwork to win.

In other games if you have one really great player, the rest of the team can slack because they know that that one play will pull them and carry them to the finish. But this game is different, as slacker and unskillful players will hinder the team effort. The more a single playesr dies, the closer they are to defeat. So the players work together to achieve victory of either destroying the dam over the harbor, or saving the dam from certain doom. The players hop into helicopters together. As one pilots the apache to swoop down, his fellow squadmates fire the machine guns out of the sides to rain hellfire upon their enemies.

Too often do people feel that they can carry their team to victory without the help of their teammates. Yet also, sometimes people put their teammates in the back of their mind and forget that they have backup all together. Flanking an enemy base from behind is extremely noneffective when it is a solo operative mission. Shot by a sniper; mission over. However if your buddy is a medic he can revive you! Teamwork people!

Times like this is when people forget teamwork. I think that if people in all kinds of situations took into consideration of their fellow peers and used them to help themselves they would accomplish so much more. That is why peers should not be considered peers, peers should be seen as teammates. This might sound a little bit crazy, however, if people all viewed everyone else as teammates so many problems could be solved, and also hundreds of new things could be accomplished. Teammates work together for their common goal of solving their common problems. If something really radical happened like everyone was a teammate, there would not even be any enemies. Working together can solve miracles.

I have no idea how to possibly achieve a goal of something like everyone thinking that everyone else is a teammates. People differ by way too many reasons. It seems that they are clouded by their perceptions of the people around them. They understand that they have individual goals and that they have no intrest in their own goals. Teamwork, if ever mass produced, could cause so many positive things.
