The challenge to be the best in this world is getting stonger an stonger each day. People try to learn new techniques or differen skills just so that they can seen 'above' oter people; so they can be respected. People are forgetting about living their lives, their to worried to be the best. Skils are not necessary in life to know. They fill up our life with concern and stress yes they are fun, but sometimes people take it overboard a little too much.
On example in the "Poisonwood Bible", the father, Natthan Price, tries to infulence the congo peopl eto change their was of life to a way that would make him happier. He tries to push his relgion and culture onto them. They do not want ot change; they do not want better ways of life or skills. They are living, living in a way they want a way that makes them happy. Nathan price brings them down by trying to push new things onto them. They jus want him to leave, so that their old life can come back. A life that does not care what is going on in the outside world, no tworrying of modernizing or anything new, btu to be content with the little they have.
Anther way that shows people too concerned about skills to learn can be seen here at our school. Kids are so pressurd to be the best or to get that A. Parents push their cjildren to the max. Everything we do is for colleges or for a scout to see. We mainly are showing ourselves off and trying to seem better than anyone else in the school. Its sort of ridiculous sometimes, kids get depressed over getting B's somestimes. Parents expect so much. Just because they want their kids to excel and to achieve everything in life.
